  • I really hope this image isn’t ai. I want someone to have taken the time to carefully decorate a duck and build a miniature Enterprise-D bridge for the sake of riffing off a meme. I’d buy that person a drink.

  • I enjoyed your vodka-fueled walk of text. I’ve had a lot of the same observations of religious people in my state.

  • Anyone know what the series of explosions are? Flares, then a final explosion when the missile hit?

  • There are two cooling fans in the headset. Heat is definitely something being actively mitigated. Check out the iFixit teardown.

  • The Supreme Court has been captured by a handful of ideological billionaires. Turns out it’s relatively easy and cheap (if you’re a billionaire) to own a Supreme Court justice. All it took was a few free vacations and scraps from the table to own half the court.

    Alabama has been a socially failed state since reconstruction. I don’t know why anyone would willingly live there.

  • Hey, thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

  • See a doctor. Do it now. Not later. Nobody here will give you accurate medical advice. The underlying causes are diverse. You will not receive worthwhile medical advice without a proper diagnosis.

  • These things are so cool They have their own festival! It’s kind of like the groundhog festival where Punxsutawney Phil predicts the upcoming weather, except they pick a wooly worm each year to make the prediction. It’s all Tongue in cheek obviously, and an excuse to have a party.

  • This is a cool community. I never expected so many helpful replies to this. Thank you all.

  • No wonder the sheets don’t stay on the bed 😂

  • Always fitted. I think that’s my problem.

  • I do latch them below the corners. I have a foam mattress topper, so fitted sheets just fit around the mattress. As a result, there isn’t a lot of extra material to go under the mattress.

    I learned these straps exist. Going to give it a shot.

  • I use PopOS as my daily driver on my desktop. The tiling window management is simply the chef’s kiss.

    I’m stoked for Cosmic DE, it’s awesome to see further community adoption of System76’s contribution to Linux.

  • Kudos to the BBC stock photos department. The title photo in this article is unironically on-brand.

    The editor must have been like: “We need a photo of a specific Yakuza crime boss to use in an article about weapons trafficking.” The BBC photos guy goes: “Sure thing! I got one of him grinning while holding a rocket launcher.” Just perfect.

  • I hope investors will see that the technology powering Reddit is no longer novel in execution or deployment. ActivityPub and its derivatives like Lemmy have proven this fact in practice.

    The value of Reddit lies in its userbase and quality of dataset. As Reddit evolves to become increasingly hostile toward its userbase, the most valuable members become the most heavily impacted. This leads to the migrations away from the platform and eventual degradation of data quality. The sale of user data to AI ahead of the IPO is an important indication that the Reddit c-suite is keenly aware of this.

    Hopefully the financial world will view the IPO as a cash-out for investors and not a viable investment into a sustainable business model.

  • Commonly, 10% of a bond is required up-front. Trump’s total liability in this case is closer to $450 million, so he will need to front approximately $45 million in cash to obtain a bond. Most reputable news outlets estimate he has this in liquid assets.

    However, collateral covering the full liability of the judgment is required to secure the bond. Speculation is that several of his properties will be required collateral.

    Trump may try to secure collateral through other means such as capturing RNC or PAC funds, taking his social disinformation network public, etc.

    I’m looking forward to watching it play out. The civil trials have partially resorted my faith in the rule of law. The criminal cases will determine if Trump can put himself above the rule of law. A successful presidential election, or the Supreme Court granting him “absolute immunity” and I doubt anyone is seeing a dime of the civil judgements against him.

  • On iOS devices:

    Update Voyager to the latest version as this setting was just added in the latest update.

    Settings > General > Toggle “Always Display Reader Mode”

    Sorry, I don’t use android devices so your mileage may vary if you are on android. A workaround would be to install Firefox as it has a similar feature. Be sure to change the change the default browser in Voyager’s settings to Firefox.

    The reader button in Firefox is located in the url bar at the top right. (At least it is on iOS Firefox.) Hopefully an android user will reply with better context than I can.
