I feel like the headline is misleading given our current climate.

Orleans sheriff currently has a policy to LIMIT how they interact with ICE. Louisiana passed a law making not cooperating with ICE a felony. Orleans sheriff says they will continue with current policy and limit their interactions with ICE.

We miss the sign because we're used to tapping at our normal store a certain way and your way is different. Our normal store doesn't need a sign because it's obvious.

I'm guessing your terminal uses the "tap the corner" method and not the screen method. If I see a sign, it's often the corner. I've never seen a sign that points to the screen.

The problem isn't the instance you are on. It's the instance this community is on. I've started to comment less and less on .world because of their "both sides are the same" stance.

The biggest problem, and I do say biggest, that DNC has is that they all have been trying to win votes not by being progressive but chasing after "the center" or left leaning Republicans. They can't do that if they support true progressive candidates.

Polygraphs provide authoritarians the excuse to get rid of people.

The same way that scientology uses auditing. The point is to instil fear and doubt into whomever you're measuring so that you can manipulate them.

So, they are extremely useful.

They wanted someone with experience, who can hit the ground running, but didn't want to pay for it, either with cash or time.

  • cheap
  • quick
  • experience

You can only pick two.

How does this work? I know that PR is an US territory but I imagine there are some quarantine procedures for animals.

Or has all of that been worked out already and you're just the courier?

Edit: nevermind. My mind skipped past the explanation and went straight for the cute picture.

Volunteers are on both sides of the journey.

Going way too far is the point.

This is about oppression, not about justice.

I think it depends on your D/s spectrum.

As a Dom, I'd humiliate him.

But then again, BDSM relationships require continual respect.

Damn this is a hard one.

  • the most felony convictions
  • the most state and federal criminal investigations that are still open
  • the most amount of diapers worn during a presidential term
  • the first president in what 20 years to puss out and have his inauguration indoors
  • the first president to have been a confirmed rapist

I'm going to speculate:

  • the smallest penis
  • the most obese
  • the shortest

I was having just this conversation with a friend of mine the other day. There is a level of net worth that once you hit it, it becomes exponentially harder to get out of poverty than someone who isn't poor. And absolutely no amount of money can help them because unless you can stop the churn, all that money will just go toward the black hole of fees and other expenses.

 

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.
