I thought terrorism laws were designed to prevent jury trials.

Isn’t part of the reason these laws exist to suspend the sixth amendment for “national security” reasons.

I’d like some kind of visual task scheduler instead of having to read up on how to do cron jobs every time.

A very silly but useful hack I did to get the MS flight sim install down to about 40GB (normally ~270GB) before I gave up on windows was this.

Set up a nextcloud server on a raspberry pi.

Install the client on your windows machine.

Add your games install folder as a connection on the nextcloud client and enable VFS (virtual filesystem)

Once synced, right click the folder and select “free up space…”

This will basically delete the file data from your local machine and redownload it whenever windows tries to access a file.

Now launch your game and it’ll take a while to start as it has to redownload the files it actually needs to run, but it won’t bother getting what it doesn’t have to.

I prefer an oversized black hoodie and a spotlight positioned to only reveal my chin

I hate how everything has to be stupid culture war nonsense these days.

I’ll probably get the game but be disappointed I don’t get to play as Geralt.

I’d also be disappointed to get a new Horizon game where I don’t get to play as Aloy. Does that make me a misandrist?

I live in a pretty diverse area and everyone loves talking about where they’re from. It’s like a universal ice breaker that can start an engaging conversation with people you otherwise have nothing in common with. Honestly if someone asks where you’re from there’s a far greater chance they’re trying to get off with you than fine tune their racism.

I don’t think it’s possible to have a Lemmy UI without JS because it serves up JSON not rendered pages. You could sign up on a kbin/mbin instance though to get a static frontend.

Pro tip: Use a stolen laptop with live GPS tracking to do your computer crime and the police won’t have the resources to deal with it.

I bought a convertible car that was completely ditched once. The canvas roof was in such a state that it consisted mostly of black bags and duct tape.

I ring a friend and ask him what he’s doing and if he wants to go for a drive in said car.

He said he’s too busy 'cause he has a bunch of jobs to apply to and wants to spend the day handing out his CV. I say that’s a perfect excuse to drive the new car round.

Get to his house and show him the car and we decide we should drive round with the top down because it’s sunny. The top is made of duct tape and bin liners though, so we grab a kitchen knife each and set to work on getting it off.

First place he wants to go is a job for a theatre tech. We drive over to the next town and I pull up and he runs in with just his CV and leaves all his possessions (coat, phone, wallet, etc) in the car.

Unbeknownst to me, the guy he handed his CV to gave him a tour and a bit of an interview on the spot so I’d be stuck there for an hour in the same parking space.

Also unbeknownst to me, the theatre was at a high school so I’m now suddenly surrounded by kids leaving at the end of the school day.

It’s awkward enough that I’m a guy in my late 20s parked outside a school in a convertible, but it took me a few minutes to realise that all the staring I was recieving from the kids was because the back seat was covered in black bags and duct tape held down with the two biggest knives I could find in my kitchen.

The police even came and I was hoping they would stop so I could explain but they just kept driving past me at walking speed.

Wait. Does that mean sellers are not obliged to track sales of uppers and barrels and the rest? Yeah I can see why lawmakers are pissed off now lol.

What’s the point in those beyond a tech demo though? Don’t they use so much of the donor gun that it’s effectively no different to just scrubbing the serial number but with a lot more effort?

Cold water falls to the bottom of a kettle and boils on the bottom. Microwaves can miss the bottom, possibly?

I’m also sceptical of the ghost gun thing. AFAIK the only real ghost gun is an FGC9 which is about the size of a submachine gun and is definitely not what is seen in the video.

It’s integrating as best it can. It has an embeddable player and LDAP logins. It’s kind of a failure on the part of other platform Devs to use it.

Lol.

Seven years ago I spent hours trying to explain to my MP that this would happen if they weakened encryption and put in back doors.

He seemingly couldn’t get his head round the fact that you have to assume foreign adversaries have access to everything in transit and they’re not going to be worried about longer prison sentences designed to make up for weaker security.

I should send him an email asking if he understands the argument now it’s coming from an American in a suit and not just one of the plebs.

The fundamental problem with cryptocurrencies is that the people with the enthusiasm to make them (libertarians), are too stupid (libertarian) to understand why a deflationary asset cannot work as a currency.

It’s inherently a speculative investment. Nobody is going to spend something that might be worth dramatically more tomorrow and nobody is going work for something that might be worth dramatically less tomorrow.

You need gravy thick enough to hold the fork up for proper bangers and mash

Americans have one Sunday roast a year and get so excited about it the rest of us have to hear you talk about it for a whole month.

It’s funny that even the daily mail commenters are celebrating.

I don’t know if it really matters. Earlier this year Palestine Action got released despite having no defence because the judge wouldn’t allow them to argue they had to break the law to protect life and property.
