As we push more average Windows users to Linux, we need to be prepared for these users to download and run completely untrusted code.

1000 single family homes is a lot. That doesn't include multi-unit buildings like apartments.

Corporations shouldn't own any single family homes.

I don't want to make perfection the enemy of good here so if say this is a step in the right direction to introduce some level of control. But it needs to go much further than simply restricting the totally number of houses they can own.

I'd love to see a combo map of literacy and who the county voted for in the last presidential election by county.

I mean, I know how it's going to read but still.

Honestly, civil forfeiture has as much legal protection as qualified immunity.

I want to see democratic AGs actually do this.

1000% agree.

If you're in your 20s, start building good habits now. Your future self will thank you.

Finish cops probably don't have qualified immunity.

They aren't lying per se. They are seeing what kind of narrative they can get away with.

The lies are not for us.

They are for their base.

A lot of GOP guys that want to bang AOC are thinking that as a conquest and not out any feelings that sex would require.

In other words, if given the opportunity to assault her, they would.

It goes perfect with the conservative mindset: I get what I want and get to suppress and treat you like shit.

MOD ACTION: I'm locking this post. It's gone off the rails a bit.

I've said this in other comments but bares repeating: we have a lot of people willing to fight for democracy, but very few people willing to die for it.

I won't share anything specific on what the group does (or doesn't do) but the biggest thing that anyone within the US can do right now is to get politically involved, especially if you are white and cis.

  • Find immigration attorneys and volunteer your time and talents with them
  • Find LGBT+ groups and be their ally
  • Volunteer at local homeless shelters, legal aid centers, etc.

You can do all of those things anonymously if you fear for your own safety. But get involved. I've done all of those things I listed above and I can tell you that the needs are huge. The more you make yourself known, the more people will trust you and you will be come part of the resistance.

 

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.
