Is it the case where they postponed the vote again because they anticipated it being turned down and needing to wait ages before being allowed to vote again?

If so, perhaps Poland could host the next vote, deliberately not postponing when it seems it’s not going to pass. Maybe even start trolling and remove concessions that would’ve pleased other countries, forcing even more anti-votes and removing some risk of it passing unexpectedly (I don’t know if that would be viable to actually implement though).

We need it to properly fail big time if we don’t want to fear for our privacy every couple months

I’m not one to buy Apple products, but I keep hearing amazing things about their M4 devices. Most of them come with quite some dealbrealers compared to the competition, such as soldered RAM across the board, and Apple proprietary storage on the Mini (which they just have to tack an Apple tax onto).

The iPad’s pretty much the only thing they make where the competition shares most of the same drawbacks (especially if either self-repair is proven to work, or parts pairing gets banned in enough jurisdicitions). Most of the reason that I don’t want one is that I don’t want to move into yet another proprietary ecosystem.

So, ever since learning about the fact that Asahi Linux exists, I’ve been dreaming about an iPad that can run arbitrary OS’es just like the Macs. Imagine running something like Plasma Mobile or Phosh on an iPad, with full desktop apps being ready should you need them. I hope I get to see something like that someday, whether through an exploit, legislation or just Apple finally coming around.

Crap, I’m fresh out of hopium

This is the missing link in my idea. I suppose there to be a lot of reasons why Ukraine, if it wanted to enact this bottom of the barrel, shitpost-tier of international policy, couldn’t simply “stage” something that would force all of NATO to stand behind the invading country due to a technicality?

Learn of YouTube, go to youtube.com and there’s content.

Learn of Mastodon, ask “where’s that?” and be told to go to joinmastodon.org. When I did this, you had to pick an instance. mastodon.social was full, you had to find something else. So you look at every instance there is in the list, and try to filter for moderation rules as you’re told this is best practice. Don’t worry, all of Mastodon can see everything posted by everyone on every instance! Picking an instance is really choosing where your values are best aligned, nothing more. So you spend the effort, make an account, get asked a reason why you’re signing up (though I might be mistaking this memory for when I signed up to Lemmy), have to wait for approval, get an account, and sign into the official app…

… and there’s no content. The only way I ever managed to get content was to learn of Mastodon accounts outside of Mastodon and manually look them up. So I ended up following a whopping 3 accounts, one of which being some EU governmental account, another essentially being the XDA RSS feed. Needless to say, I didn’t stick around.

I don’t know if things have improved since then, or how Bluesky does things. But I’d imagine a platform supposedly started by the people who founded Twitter, built from what supposedly was once an internal test of modifications to Twitter, to have an easier onboarding experience than whatever Mastodon did back when I tried it.

Oh boy, does this also hold for people who don’t like any pets?

Regarding the second link, I’ve personally git pulled Ryujinx about once a week (except this week lol) ever since Yuzu was taken down. I don’t know enough about git to know if commits earlier in the history can be manipulated whilst keeping later commit hashes identical, but I can confirm that the commits from last Tuesday match up with my local copy in terms of hash, author and message

My grandpa had developed the habit of falling out of his bed. The first time I was afraid that he was gonna die on the spot as I’d heard it, but it eventually became such a “regular” occurrence that I didn’t think of immediate death anymore. This particular day, he’d fallen twice. They brought him to a nearby hospital to get a check-up. I was worried sick that this time something was actually wrong, or that he might’ve broken a bone or something. Turns out he was fine! No broken bones or anything. Just one teeny tiny minor issue…

When he was brought to the hospital, he was accidentally placed in the area with people who were brought there with covid. I hadn’t been able to see him in months because of the restrictions, and even when I did go the months prior it was always with far distance, masks and in short bursts. I did everything I had been told to do to “keep him safe”, “ease up the workload in the hospitals” and all those government campaigns and all that, only for him to die because of this (seeming) serious neglect from medical professionals.

I once had a screw on a laptop that wouldn’t unscrew and eventually somewhat lost its shape. I had asked my uncle for help, who gave me the solution. I think it was slightly less bad than this, but it might help:

1. Apply WD40 around the edges of the screw, such that it could enter the hole
2. Apply it to the screw head
3. Hold your screwdriver in the hole and gently tap it with a hammer a couple of times
4. Slowly attempt to screw it out, whilst applying firm downward pressure on the screw

Note that the amounts of WD40 you have to apply are tiny. We’re talking drops of the stuff. It might be best to attempt to spray something else, and use the residue on the nozzle to apply it

The Netherlands only remains “neutral” because of the clause that forces companies to detect unknown CSAM and/or “grooming” material (last time I checked). It’s only a matter of one or two countries that can make the difference, with most neutral countries probably having similarly “minor” objections.

You don’t. You see, Nintendo encrypts their games and basically outlaws any way to access decryption keys from your own console. In your proposal you don’t even own a Switch to lawfully or unlawfully obtain the keys from, meaning that you’ll 100% have to acquire those “illegally”.

Not that I care for the record

I’ve checked the Github when I read this to see whether they’re having trouble as well, and currently it appears that YouTube will block your IP if you use it too much

Does this also apply when not using the official app? I recently bought a Phillips bulb (not Hue) and set up Home Assistant for it, along with the Matter bridge. This turned out to also connect it to the Wi-Fi, but I never installed a manufacturer app.

Would blocking internet access via parental controls on the router be enough to mitigate such threats, or is its mere presence in an internet-connected network dangerous?

Now I’m curious, what age were you before you thought you turned 36?

On my Android 13 device browsers save in sd card/Android/data/com.my.browser. This folder can only be accessed on the default, hidden file manager or on a PC. Not even read-only access, but straight up nothing. At this point I just don’t bother directly downloading to my sd card anymore, I just download to internal storage and move it all to sd card/Downloads every so often

Wait WHAT!? Damn I loved every second of this, I’m sad now

Do they mean like how season 1 had 12 episodes, but then got another 12?

I always do this and your comment specifically made me realize how that could look to other people.

At least sometimes they get to see a flash of a Word document when I’m half a second too late
