  • I've begun my switch over to Mint from Windows. Its kinda wild to suggest normal users to switch to Arch of all things. Netflix (and streaming apps in general) straight to Jellyfin is also a stretch because there are... extra steps

  • Amazon's Ring cancels Flock partnership amid Super Bowl ad backlash

  • Or they'll just build a backdoor into it (it probably already exists) and never talk about it again.

  • Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?

    Jump

  • I put Google cameras on my house years ago out of convenience and this is it, I'm spending the money on a PoE system where my footage stays on my own hardware.

  • I'm conflicted on this because if you block enough of people opposed to you, you end up lacking any insight into what they are actually doing.

    My own personal mental health has taken a hit because I feel a need to bear witness. And its all... a lot

  • Johnny Appleseed planting apple trees for kids to eat

    Jump

  • There's sort of one in the US city I live in. The city manages it and as far as I know they don't care if you go pick a few apples. It is part of a public park that used to be a farm/orchard, then turned into a small golf course, then was partially sold off for housing development and the core farm/orchard area was either given to or bought by the city. It also has a community garden which always has a waitlist for new plots.

    That's the weird thing about the US: we do actually have nice things, and communities that want to improve things. We also have suburbia hellscape.

  • My US city has a few parks with apple trees, herb gardens, and other edibles. I don't think there's any law or rule against people going out and harvesting small individual use amounts as long as you don't damage the plant. They do send out volunteer crews at harvest time (for the apples at least) and donate the harvest to food banks.

    I don't buy rosemary because there's a bunch of parks around with rosemary bushes.

  • But think of the landlords!

  • They're all made of concrete which means I don't have to hear my upstairs neighbor stomping around at every hour of the day

  • She's 40 and doesn't even look like this, plus the fingers are weird and the clothing exactly matches the couch.

  • At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do?

    Jump

  • I live in a rich suburb of a big city and as far as I can tell the city actually has control of the police, the police union isn't run by a bunch of comic book villains, and the non-MAGA "good cops" actually want to work here, and do. Hop over to the big city and their police union acts as a 4th arm of government run by truly evil people.

    Local PD can't do anything because the second they do, Insurrection Act.

  • Minnesota has "permit to carry", so you need a permit to legally have a firearm in public. Other states have banned open carry at protests. There are legal barriers.

    With everything that is happening I'm questioning my state's assault weapon ban. The feds are unhinged.

    Jump

  • No, and if there were, it would likely give actual legal grounds for the federal government to invoke the Insurrection Act which would allow domestic deployment of the US military - not National Guard, full military. Local PD isn't doing much for the same reason.

  • Whistleblower drops 'largest ever' ICE leak to unmask agents: 'The last straw'

    Jump

  • The actual website is https://icelist.is/

    The leak is supposedly at https://wiki.icelist.is/

    The site has been hammered and either times out or gives a 403 response, which lately is accompanied by a disclaimer message which essentially says "Hosted content does not represent our company".

    It is possible the site owners shut it all down because of the massive increase in traffic. The disclaimer message that popped up is weird. I haven't seen any dumps show up anywhere I'm aware of.

  • I hope you're right. NYC isn't like the US city I live in. The toilets I linked are pretty utilitarian, which isn't a bad thing. They work, they can be cleaned easily, but you're right, they are not self-cleaning.

    I hope NYC figures out a new solution that others can follow. The Portland Loo was literally designed by the City of Portland (OR, USA) and it works.

  • Just got the news today that my electric rates are going up 12%. This follows multiple above inflation rate hikes in recent years. We used to have cheap electricity. I'm sure that wider adoption of EVs and the push to switch from natural gas in the home to electric everything is a big contributing factor. I'm also sure data centers are a big contributing factor.

  • In the US they will more than likely be these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Loo

    My city has a few, they're generally better than those plastic portable toilets with the blue liquid plus require much less maintenance once installed.

  • Because at the same time they're trying to implement age verification for app stores while also very vaguely defining what an app store is.

    The Act defines an “App Store” as “a publicly available Internet website, software application, or other electronic service that distributes software applications from the owner or developer of a software application to the user of a mobile device.”

    So... what constitutes a mobile device? Who is an owner/developer? Does github have to implement age verification for mobile devices?

  • Is audiophile bullshit cheating?

  • The sommelier thing is at least somewhat real but it actually takes work. I don't think anyone is getting much better sound than 320kbps with a good quality sound system. $300 studio monitors can give you pretty much peak sound quality at this point, no unobtanium wires required.
