But you see he thinks he is one of the good ones. Surely he will be accepted as the in group.

I'm going to disagree slightly.

IMO, outlook is bloated. It has too many features that are either confusing or difficult to use. Microslop should have released a completely new mail app and given it a new providence along with modern features.

Think gmail but it would work with any email account.

Made with modern programming practices. Streamlined and zippy.

But nope.

They needed to create Outlook (new). Which they enshittified.

I fucking hate Outlook. It is stuck in the age of emails being the primary source of communication in a company. Teams isn't any better. (Give me back slack please!!!!)

But let's be clear here: we (the users) aren't Outlook customers. Corporate IT is. And from their standpoint, Outlook does exactly what they need it to do.

I suspect that the type of people who watch UFC and the type of people who agree with fascists have a very sizable overlap.

That's the thing. They think it is. It's alpha/beta behavior.

Because Cruz knows that if he didn't kiss the ring, he would have been voted out by his base.

Why are there two Russian flags?

Behind The Bastards made a very interesting observation:

In almost every society, the rich and/or powerful get so used to not being bound by the law, that they effectively push themselves to break more laws to see what they can get away with. It inevitably ends with them being pedophiles.

Robert Evans has said that he doesn't know if powerful people are actually pedophiles or if they are simply drawn to the power that they can become pedophiles without any consequences. But he also says it's a difference without a distinction.

We're in fascism times.

Trump can legally kill people. Literally. He can point a gun in 5th Avenue and shoot someone and New York Court, SCOTUS, and his base, will all let him.

We cannot make arguments as if laws apply to this man because they simply don't.

So when he says words like "expel", we need to understand that he will try everything in his power, including things that are illegal to normal people like you and me, to accomplish his will.

Which one?! I didn't know they sold bidets!

Conservative logic be like: "It's personal responsibility. If you don't want to get an abortion, just don't have sex!"

Also Conservatives: "We can't have anyone look at porn! So we must make it as difficult as possible for people to view porn."

Here's the thing: we can't even trust them to release the unredacted files at this point. There is no 100% truth with this administration.

If they did release unredacted files, we'd have to ask why. We'd have to ask "why now? What's missing?"

The sad thing is that this is the alt-right goal: to erode trust in our systems. And they have fucking succeeded in spades.

I would love to see liberal states begin researching ways to banning states without violating the commerce clause.

We need more creative solutions like the SCOTUS term limits bill that has been making the rounds.

(I can't find the article but basically a president nominates a justice and then the longest serving justice is now considered a justice ameritus or something like that. Only the 9 shortest serving justices hear and decide cases, thereby still allowing justices to serve life sentences. It was genius.)

This almost seems like a canary. If an AI bot pulls the code and submits a PR, the meow would be and indicator that AI was used.

 

I updated my Pixel 10 Pro with the latest Pixel software (BP4A.260105.004.E1) and noticed that notifications for things like Signal, news alerts, discord, etc. even though the notifications are there when I pull down the notification bar.

I initially thought it was the new notification "groups" but turned that off.

I don't have "Do Not Disturb" set since my phone is perpetually turned on silent.

The odd thing is that they selectively show up throughout the day. Some conversations show while others don't.

This seems like a setting something I need to change so that I see the icons. Does else have this problem?

 

Not sure if this belongs here but felt it was appropriate.

 

Not sure if this is the right community so if not, let me know.

I could have sworn I saved it but can't seem to find it. The lemmy post was about a website that would forward URLs but the presenting URL was something akin to https://thehacxorgroup.org/load/virus/exec/run.bat and you could have that forward to a rickroll or something.

Ideally, I'm looking for the post itself, but happy to take just the website that provides the service.

Thanks!

 

I've started seeing more shit like this, even TVs in exam rooms with ads like this.

 

Ever since we've gone to hybrid working, I've been having to deactivate work notifications and enable game notifications back and forth and it's driving me nuts.

I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL and would like a way to allow app notifications to come through based on a variable that I can control. At my disposal I have Tasker and Home Assistant but can't find a way to perform automations to enable or disable specific app notifications.

Is there a way to do this? I have to imagine other people have this problem.

 

Which is it?!

This headline came up in my news feed, from a very dubious source so I decided to investigate.

Headline after headline, many from identical sources, about how Walmart and Bank of America are either going to stop taking $1 bills or keep accepting them. The headlines read like a FUD article and I refuse to click through to read the details.

I can't find a reputable news source for this story so I'm assuming it's fake news.

It shouldn't be this easy to manipulate news feeds.

 

I've been searching around for a copy of the Resolute Letter that Trump left for Biden. The letters are typically released within a few days of entering office but this was never done because Biden wanted to talk to Trump first before doing so.

It's been almost four years. Surely it's been done by now and I can't seem to find any article with the letter or anything on the official White House website. I'm tempted to submit a FOIA request for it but wasn't sure where to start.

 

fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

 

I know it occasionally has service disruptions, but it usually comes back up after a day or so. Fmovies has been down for almost the entire week for me.

Anyone else having issues?

 

Good day self-hosters! I'm not exactly sure what to call what I'm looking for besides a "clipboard". Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is.

At work, I get a lot of slack DMs that ask for the same information. It's not consistent to the point I would just pin the information in my Windows 11 clipboard. But it's often enough that I'd prefer to give people the same information each time it's asked.

I'm limited in what I can build on my work computer. In an ideal world, I'd do what Gilfoyle did and make and bot but I lack the time and skills for such a task. Right now, I solve this with a very long notepad, which is subject to copy/paste errors. If I don't highlight everything correctly or if I accidentally copy over an existing line. That kind of thing.

What I was thinking was a very simple website where the items I'm copying are in tiles that can be tagged and searched. Once I find what I'm looking for, I can click the button to copy it to my clipboard and then go on with my life.

Due to restrictions on my work computer, I cannot host containers or host a website, though a fully self-contained HTML page with javascript I could do.. Ideally this is something that can be build using Github Pages build with Jekyll but so far, I haven't found a theme that mimics the behavior I'm looking for and I lack the time (though not the skills) to build it.

I'd prefer the github route so that I can share the page with others on my team who get asked similar questions.

I am also able to deploy a website via Github Pages (with .nojekyll).

I have to think something similar to this already exists but I imagine the restrictions on having no backend might be the challenge. Love to hear your thoughts!

Edit: added context for Gilfoyle

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I should have added in this post that my work does not allow software with Copyleft (Don't get me started. I'm a strong copyleft advocate and it annoys me that my company only takes and never gives back to OSS). I'm going to give TiddlyWiki out. License is friendly with my work, seems simple enough to run.

That said, Logseq seems to be pretty interesting as well. Might try this out on my on machine to see if I like it.
