“Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”

What? Is he trying to gaslight the fact that both of Georgia's US Senators have been Democratic since 2020? One of whom was subject of intense media coverage for back-to-back runoff elections in 2020 and 2022 with the US Senate majority up for grabs?

+1 on checking in Pixelfed. Lemmy -> Instagram isn't comparable user experience. But given the closing comment about "local stuff and people I know" then odds are they won't be on Pixelfed either.

It was French's mustard, clearly an illegal immigrant sandwich. This Dunn guy was aiding an illegal alien's assault of an officer.

Even just from a perspective of Trump being a petty vindictive shit heel, obviously this would be mostly targeted at Democratic-led cities that never voted for him. Combined with the fact that that's where a lot of the immigrants he wants to deport are going to be found anyway (being the major population hubs for their respective states and all).

The rub is which to go with. Some people want the extra hour of daylight after work in the winter. Others want it in the summer because it will maximize their after-hours sunlight in the season when being outside is more realistic.

We already tried permanent DST and it didn't even last through the first full calendar year before being revoked. And while sticking with one time year-round instead of switching, Standard time is healthier than DST:

The researchers of a study published in September in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences estimate that permanent standard time would prevent about 300,000 cases of stroke per year and result in 2.6 million fewer people having obesity, while permanent daylight saving time would achieve about two-thirds of the same effect.

 

Gov. Greg Abbott is calling on the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to enforce the removal of “any and all political ideologies” from Texas streets, warning that cities who do not comply will “face consequences.” Non-standard surface markings, signage and signals that “do not directly support traffic control or safety” are prohibited, according to a Wednesday news release from Abbott’s office.

Synology’s 2025 refresh brought the DS225+ and DS425+ with the familiar Intel Celeron J4125, but it also quietly removed the kernel graphics driver support that Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby use for hardware transcoding of H.264 and HEVC. This guide explains what changed, why it matters for real-world streaming, and how you can restore GPU-accelerated transcoding on these models using an unofficial SSH method shared by the community. If you rely on your NAS to reshape 4K or high bitrate files for phones, tablets, hotel TVs, or limited connections, this walkthrough will help you get that efficiency back.

 

Sameer Samat, president of Android ecosystem at Google, asked a TechRadar journalist why they were using an Apple Watch, iPhone, and MacBook:

I asked because we’re going to be combining Chrome OS and Android into a single platform, and I am very interested in how people are using their laptops these days and what they’re getting done.

What are some Android tablet brands in the USA other than Google, Lenovo, and Samsung? I'm looking for a #5G tablet in the sub-$300 range and it's seeming like there's one Samsung, or several hundred random Chinese Amazon sellers that don't even have a brand name on the product listing.

Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to pull state funding after the City of San Marcos placed a resolution in support of a ceasefire in Gaza on its City Council agenda for Tuesday.

The resolution, proposed by council members Alyssa Garza and Amanda Rodriguez, calls for an “immediate, permanent and sustained ceasefire in occupied Palestine,” an “arms embargo on the state of Israel” and “recognition of Palestinian sovereignty and protection of constitutional rights.”

 

The study, conducted by Dr Demid Getik, explores how mental health is related to income make-up within couples by examining the link between annual income rises for women and the number of clinical mental health diagnoses over a set period of time.

The study finds that as more women take on the breadwinner role in the household, the number of mental health related incidences also increases.

As wives begin earning more than their husbands, the probability of receiving a mental health diagnosis increases by as much as 8% for all those observed in the study, but by as much as 11% for the men.

 

Lately when I forced to login to FaceBook they will sent a WhatsApp message to my phone number, even though I don't use WhatsApp. I'd like to see if there is really an account with my number. I tried going to the web client but it seems to be requiring to pair with a device app.

Up to one in four patients who are unresponsive after suffering serious brain injuries might actually still be conscious – indicating more patients may be aware of their surroundings than previously realized, new research suggests.

This state of 'hidden consciousness' is now officially known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), where cognitive (or thinking) abilities aren't connected to motor (or movement) abilities. Researchers have been looking into CMD for several years.

However, 62 percent of an additional 112 patients who were visibly responding to instructions at the bedside didn't exhibit the expected brain signals showing responsiveness – so the researchers suggest their methods still don't detect everyone with cognitive function.

 

As seen in the screenshot, there's a lot of wasted space in landscape mode on my tablet. I don't see this issue in the feed. I've only noticed it when viewing it editing posts and comments.

 

This would pair with the existing setting to use the in-app browser. The user would have to have enabled it in their chrome flags as shown in the screenshot.

 

I noticed my phone running a bit warm todayx.so checked the battery usage and Liftoff seemed be a bit high. Clicking on Liftoff from this screen, it set for Optimized usage. I have v0.10.10 installed from Play store.
