2·1 year agoAgreed. We’re fucked.

6·1 year agoWho do you think I meant by “the third branch”? The comment I replied to mentioned Executive and Judicial… there is only one more branch left… the one with the power to impeach…

Politics@sh.itjust.works•Judge finds Trump administration hasn’t fully followed his order to unfreeze federal spendingEnglish
3·1 year agoIn theory the congressional branch would weigh in and be the tie breaker in the dispute. If they agree with the contempt of court, then they start an impeachment, and judicial rules on it, and if executive branch continues to not enforce the law, congress can call a militia to uphold the law. If they agree with the executive branch however, the judicial branch can only hurl more words. Words without any functional weight to them. edited: for clarity
Even easier and faster; a quick look at google maps presents a list, their locations, hours of operation…Most of these are airsoft stores apparently.

AskUSA@discuss.online•Do you need to be "tough" to live in America?English
10·1 year agoI feel like it also depends on where you go. It’s a big country and the culture can be drastically different in different areas, even within the same state.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•The Ljungavik Dog: A Mesolithic dog burialEnglish
9·1 year agoLiveScience.org mentions the same question back in 2020
Of note, it’s unclear whether the dog died a natural death, or whether it was killed to be buried with its human. An analysis of its remains may reveal this mystery.
I couldn’t find an answer though. Most online sources of the discovery are from back in 2020, then it’s just memes.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Sega files patent infringement lawsuit against Memento Mori developer over in-game mechanics, seeking 1 billion yen in damagesEnglish
27·1 year agoSega alleges infringements of the following five patents: No. 5930111, No. 6402953, No. 6891987, No. 7297361 and No. 7411307, all of which are registered in Japan.
I tried checking out that first patent there,
5930111and who boy… is this shit hard to readAn information processing device includes: a control means for causing the player to acquire a content in response to a game execution instruction from the player; an extraction means for extracting content groups of the same type from contents possessed by the player, according to an instruction from the player; a selection means for automatically selecting fusion source contents and resource contents from each of the extracted content groups; and a fusion means for collectively fusing, for each of the fusion source contents, one of the resource contents of the same type as the each of the fusion source contents. The selection means selects, as the resource contents, contents having a rarity at or below a specific level, from each of the extracted content groups.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla explains their recent foray into advertising - A free and open internet shouldn’t come at the expense of privacyEnglish
483·2 years agoA fundamental flaw in this, is it still involves user data, even if “anonymized”. You can advertise without any user data. We do it all the time. Does a television channel know your gender? Does a radio station know if you bought a car recently? Does the newspaper know your hobbies?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Introducing Proof-of-Work Defense for Onion Services | The Tor ProjectEnglish
7·2 years agoAt least it appears to be something that gets triggered. In theory, if a node is not under attack or heavy usage, this isn’t a consideration. Doesn’t seem to be a perfect solution as it still slows the traffic of legitimate users in the event of an attack. I don’t know the full details, but in the worse case it makes it easier to semi-DoS, maybe not by fully making a node unresponsive, but by making the service so painfully slow that users may give up on it.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Is it possible to suspend games on PC like the Steam Deck?English
21·2 years agoI just tried it on Nobara. Just… application launcher (The start menu icon)->sleep. Waited, and then woke the machine back up and when the machine came back up, the game was still running. No idea if all games will play nice with that, but Satisfactory did.

News@lemmy.world•4 wounded at Brooklyn train station when officers shoot man wielding knifeEnglish
68·2 years agoSurely I misread the title. The wounded were all stabbed, surely. Nope… Cops open fired hit the suspect, 2 randos (one of which was hit in the head), and a friggin cop. All started by suspect not paying the fare. Cops made the whole situation infinitely worse than had they not showed up.
I liked world most too. It has several things rise is lacking. One of which is a serious threat imo. Like, the first time my party ran into anjanath. It just exploded out of some shrubbery and most of his attacks were insta kill. Just having this random threat helped with the world building, suspense on hunts and also gave a clear milestone when you finally get the hunt to take him down. Then there was blood puppy or bazelgeuse, they are all super memorable because of how much of a passive sorta threat they were.

unions@sh.itjust.works•Amazon Quebec ordered to pay $30,000 for anti-union publications. Management intimidated employees who talked to union organizers by forcing them into "employee relations" interrogationsEnglish
11·2 years ago30k doesn’t even sound like a slap on the wrist or even a deterrent, rounding error at best.
Definitely this. The data is not likely gone, but before doing anything that could make things worse, try and get a full copy of the SD card somewhere. From there you may safely try repairing the partition or data carving tools.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows Recall demands an extraordinary level of trust that Microsoft hasn’t earnedEnglish
591·2 years agoAccounting details, sensitive credentials for sys admin use, HIPAA data, PII etc. there’s just so much crap understood to be temporarily unlocked, viewed, and then immediately deleted or locked again. Even home users shouldn’t turn this thing on, check your bank? Balance and account details now always available. Use a password manager? Whatever you looked at is likely captured.
VPN latency depends on tech used. OpenVPN is kinda slow and wireguard quite fast in my experience. That said, both work fine and I can’t tell the speed difference unless I actually use a ton of data (streaming 4k hd videos, or transferring gigs of files or something). Regular ssh, I can’t tell a difference.
Had something similar happen with indiegala. Had an account with them for years, then one day, could not purchase some games randomly. Hit up their support and got the answer “Oh, the purchase was denied because your account’s email address is detected as a temporary email address”… The email address I’ve been using on that account… for years… Is temporary.

I use powershell for some scripting. I’ve been using .net/powershell forever and I know it better than python. If bash can’t handle it in a few lines, and I don’t have to use python, I’ll go powershell.
