Sometimes we feel like we’re screaming into the void

Bet that’s how scientists felt the past 20+ years.

Ah, thanks for the info!

Didn’t the Lemmy teams sort of fix that CSAM thing ages ago?

I remember a wave of lockdowns and hush hush related to that, soon followed by an update to Pictrs with a bunch of new docker compose settings.

My server got pooched in the update and it took me almost a month to fix partly because I had little free time.

Highly recommend SSD if just for Lemmy. Man, the syncing can take a while. I have HDD with a m.2 cache and it can still take a while. Personally, I’d go for something a little more powerful, but it’s all fun and educational.

Yeah I get it. And it may go that way.

I just don’t want to get sick, lose my retirement savings to medical debt, have social security run out, and wind up homeless like things seem to be headed.

Yes. But generations has different views and priorities from one to the other. For example boomers see the world as they remember and hang on to what they know, but that policy isn’t working anymore.

I, for one, am concerned retirement won’t exist by the time I get too old to work. Our current candidates don’t need to give a crap about that. They’ll die before that becomes an issue.

Boomers had a good run, and did a lot of damage. Younger generations are doing a lot of fix-its; that’s commendable. Mine was called lazy, ignored, and I would really like for it to not be passed over. I don’t have a lot of time left to hope things start getting better from a generation that seems to do rash, illogical things to justify logical conclusions.

I just want us to have a chance to shine in the sun.

She is rising to the occasion and deserves your support.

And she does, like I already said above.

WOW, that would skip an entire generation from presidential representation. I’m sick of voting for geriatrics but to jump straight to someone younger … I still would but ouch.

The march of time is steady towards the sounds of that waterfall. We’re fucked.

I can’t vouch for any of what you said, but I do know my pasty-white ass is staying indoors as much as possible. I burn like a forgotten rice cake in a toaster. That cover photo, fun as it looks, ain’t never going to show me this heatwave.

That may affect statistics slightly.

Also, had heatstroke before. Do not recommend. 0 out of 5 stars.

That’s why toys have red tips. If there is no red tip, as in a replica, it looks and assumed to be real.

According to the article there were 2 youths.

There is another side.

Unarmed?

Literally armed with a pellet gun. It’s in the title!

WOW do you like your own narrative.

That’s not an admission to lying whatsoever.

That is literally what it says it is: that the video circulating online does not portray the entire incident.

Any armchair editor knows how to add start/stop points to a clip. It could be to emphasize a point, exclude content, or simply meet time constraints.

People these days… so easily radicalized. Take a breather and wait for more info.

I use syncthing for backups including some phone files, but I’m not sure this would be good.

Syncthing devs clearly don’t want this app used as a sync-and-archive tool so all phones would have all copies and any phone can permanently delete any file. I wouldn’t trust that.

(Yes, there is a roundabout way, I do it too, but it is prone to errors and sync issues)

I second immich and backup. immich can archive as you want, and Syncthing can make backups of files.

I haven’t heard a statement from the other side of the story, but it seems you have. So please, inform us all. Otherwise, your speculation based in distrust and hate is moot.

We only have one source of facts at the moment, with a promise for a more detailed followup so, yeah, it carries weight.

I don’t know why a 13yo would do such a thing, or why they even had a replica gun. I’m not them. I feel sorry for them, but according to the facts I know right now, it was a bad choice. I am especially interested if the red tip were removed designating a toy. As the article references a replica, not a toy, I wonder if that had some influence in the outcome.

I am fully prepared to change my view if new evidence persuades me.

Outcome is unfortunate but pointing a gun, replica or not, at an officer has always been a very bad idea. Nothing is different now vs 30 years ago.

Do we as a society really need reminding don’t point weapons at police? Don’t do it folks.

Can confirm. Neighbors house had an attic fire with knob & tube wiring.

… Just like the stuff still in my place today. Eek! Landlord won’t upgrade unless there is a problem. In my house, the breakers are all 20amp and that’s a lot to run on, best guess, 70 year old wires.

Oh, and do not assume anything is wired as expected. Test after. I’ve found a couple plugs “upgraded” to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.

A cheaper solution is to take a copper wire and connect the ground screw of the socket to a water pipe. It does the job and is better than nothing.

Naa, I’ll take my …

Kif! We have a conundrum!

Shhh! Nobody tell them about “inside out.”
