  • What does Biden's polling or blood matter? Do we get a choice? The red party candidacy will go to Trump and the blue party is apparently planning to skip the election and keep Biden as president until he inevitably dies of old age because they've opted not to hold any debates.

    Voting reform hasn't happened, so without a miraculous level of coordination and turnout from like-minded voters, Biden being reelected is the best outcome we can hope for. Without a way to ensure a majority of states will vote third party (remember we still have the electoral college with unequal representation and most delegates are able to vote however they want, and many states first count votes by district), voting for a third party candidate is half a vote against your second choice. If you're in a state where your vote actually matters, you can vote for a third party out of protest or because you really think the third party candidate is better, and then your least favored candidate can win as a result.

  • It varies by state. If you're selling into certain states, your chickens must have at least a certain standard of living. Unfortunately, eggs probably aren't often shipped across state lines, in which case it doesn't mean anything for farmers in other states and they can still abuse their chickens. https://cagefreelaws.com/

  • It wasn't always like this. Back before companies understood "minimum viable product" things were better. Now companies do the "minimum" and then never come back to finish what they started because they can't see a profit in it. It's obvious in the way Microsoft has been replacing the old, working parts of the OS with new parts that look more modern but don't work as well, and rarely improving the replacements to reach parity with what was replaced.

  • Maybe it's like mobile operating systems where those apps are part of an immutable area and can at most be hidden. However, given how incredibly slow OS updates are on modern Macs, that would be surprising.

  • Try using ICE instead of proxying all your traffic through a VPS. If you're just using the VPS for session establishment you won't be using a lot of bandwidth and won't get blocked or go over quota. Try searching for things like "wireguard mesh stun".

  • YouTube has RSS feeds you can access without scraping, but it's per channel so if you follow a lot of channels you'll be following a lot of RSS feeds.

    Lemmy also has RSS feeds for each community.

    Are you looking for a reader instead? A reader aggregates the feeds and displays them. Usually it keeps track of which items you've already read.

  • Is it a feature of the Galaxy Buds or a feature of the Galaxy S24? They say this is better than the Pixel Buds because it doesn't require an internet connection, but the Pixel Buds do not have language translation at all. They're headphones you connect to a phone that has language translation, and it's the phone that needs internet to work. If it were a feature of the Galaxy Buds that would be much more impressive, but since the article doesn't say exactly, it's unlikely that the Galaxy Buds actually have real-time language translation at all and it's just phone software and marketing.

  • Nobody cares about your home services unless they can use them to send spam or mine bitcoin. Owncloud is a funny name because it seems to imply it's for personal use: your own cloud. I didn't know until I found myself in one, but apparently a lot of schools use Owncloud.

    phpinfo is just a bad idea. It's a built in facility that dumps everything without knowing whether it's sensitive or not, right into the current page, making it trivial to add this vulnerability to your own application or library that an unsuspecting developer will include into their application. There's not even a single security warning in the documentation. Here's practically the same problem from 21 years ago: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2002-1725
