  • FBI chief Patel says 'no credible information' others involved in Epstein crimes

    Jump

  • Right, you and I know that, but I worry most people just casually browse the headlines quickly, scanning the news highlights, and don't put much thought into it. The way I worry it plays out is someone reads the headline, puts no thought into it, ends up in a social situation later where the topic comes up with and then person says "wait, wait I thought I just saw they said...[regurgitates headline lies]" and now the lies have spread and have some legitimacy to them in the social circle, muddying the waters of the topic and causing confusion on truth, or if the social circle is in agreement of the headline, then just causing more of an echo chamber

  • Is this a worthwhile upgrade?

  • Well if he says it, it must be true. Why do people even bother posting these stories? "Trump says.." "Patel says..." All it does is spread and give credibility to their lies, by posting their lies in the freaking headline.

  • Most people around me, (in a social context, not work context) seem to be just sticking their heads in the sand for productivity reasons so they can focus on life stuff, and are shocked when we finally have a conversation where I mention something topically thats going on in politics. Then follow the shock up with telling me following that stuff too much is bad for your health and advise me to take breaks. Lol. Yup good times.

    So yeah, most people around me have no idea the latest horrible stuff going on and won't know about it until someone else tells them. Thats part of the reason we're not seeing the level of protesting needed to start fighting this stuff. (Yes I know protesting by itself won't stop this, but the protesting usually leads to over reaction and too much violence from the authoritarians, helping to tip more people on the fence, in the protests' favor)

  • How The US Gave Up On Growing Food

    Jump

  • Its been interesting over my lifetime watching people who literally own millions of dollars in land scream about how poor they are, and continuously blame liberal 'elites' when they could sell or rent their millions of dollars of land for profit. Like I get it, that value isn't liquid cash so they might be cash poor and finding it hard to make ends meet, but when you're sitting on extremely valuable land that you can sell whenever, its crazy to be screaming about being poor when most people in the US own nothing and are renting their apartments or homes, and have no value of anything to sell when they're cash poor.

    Oh you think you're poor because you can't afford to buy a replacement half million dollar tractor to farm your 2 million dollar farm land??? How do you think the person working at McDonalds for $7.25 an hour feels when they go back to their $1,300/month apartment they're splitting with 3 other people to make ends meet???

  • That's always been the plan, lol. Look up starve the beast: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast

    1. Starve the beast of funds so the government doesn't work

    2. Cry how much the government doesn't work

    3. Shut down the government services and hire out private companies to make even more money with you and your friends.

    4. Profit.

    Oh and

    Oh and me being able to share this article? Thats why they're going after Wikipedia, can't have truth in a post truth world.

  • Thanks for pointing this out. Its been a while since I've been to alternativeto.net and thought that's what OP was linking to, even visiting the site I just figured 'oh they did a redesign since last time I was here' totally didn't dawn on me it was a completely difference site.

  • Building your own gaming handheld?

    Jump

  • One thing missing with the new handhelds and designs, and presumably a DIY design, is the dual touchpad on the steamdeck. IMO its what makes the steamdeck so popular even though its underpowered at this point. I was just playing a 2000's era PC game (Dungeon Siege) designed with keyboard and mouse with the steamdeck easily, because of the dual touchpads they integrated. Not sure you can buy those off the shelf and integrate them into a DIY project with drivers etc that easily. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's an off the shelf solution for this? If there is thats fucking awesome!

  • I've got a fun one to share from my college programming professor. Similar situation, they had a machine that kept locking up, and this was back in the days of huge mainframes the size of rooms. So they call the repair tech from the manufacturer.

    So the repair tech shows up to the office gets the run down on what's been going on, and goes out to his car and brings in a huge piece of wood and just starts wailing on the thing as hard as he could. The whole office was freaking out thinking this guy had lost it, and he later explained that the memory was a grid of magnetic coils, and the coils would rust and the rust shavings would fall between the coils below, corrupting the memory bits. So he was shaking them loose by slamming the machine with this piece of wood. Lol wild times.

  • Let's talk maps for driving, transit, finding businesses? OsmAnd, Organic Maps, CoMaps , etc

    Jump

  • I know there's a lot of legal areas open source apps have to stay out of, like the reason none of these open source maps have good points of interest databases is because they can't just import in what google has, for legal reasons. But I feel like for reviews you should be able to click a checkbox that says 'show google reviews' or something for the end user, and just webscrapes it on demand for the business you're looking at.

    Even better, there should be an anonymous torrent or something of both POI databases and reviews that you can import into the apps as an end user. That way the app creators are legally protected 'our app doesn't directly give the end user google owned data' but the end user just searches google finds the db file and imports it. Boom! Win/win

    1. Everyone goes on social media (cough Lemmy!) and bitches about how it's the democrats fault, thus giving Republicans more positive light, and democrats more negative light in the minds of other readers.

  • I've been clinging to my 10 year old Logitech diNovo Mini, but when this thing kicks the bucket dunno how I'm gonna replace it. Trackpad has been pretty good, and I like the fact that it turns off and is protected when the clamshell is closed so I don't accidentally press stuff when it gets lost in the couch. We really need an open source mini keyboard so people can make their own and customize buttons, etc.
