Fixable, yes; easily, no. One of the problems is land availability near services and transportation. The second is zoning laws which are not aligned with creating affordable housing. Both if those are processes which will take decades to truly solve, even with consistent, continuous vision and plan.
You know what would be brave? Making a round watch. A watch with a cool, raised bezel that would both protect the crystal and offer a capacitive interface like the old dial on iPods.
I think that’s too brave for the current design team, though.
I heard this morning that a very similar firearms charge against someone else was adjudicated to be unconstitutional just this week. So now they have nothing but a couple years of tax evasion charges which,iirc, he’s already paid.
I agree. Outlaw petroleum extraction and then just nuke the areas that have the petroleum workers. Blame the nukes on Russia or China. No more industry, no jobs to worry about. [brushed dust off hands] Done and done.
This is the ideal response to a system threat of this type, especially if they didn't know the vulnerability existed.
“It should be noted that the vulnerability identified by the students does NOT pose an imminent risk affecting safety, system disruption, or a data breach,” Pesaturo added.
That may be one of the most adult things ever said by an organization executive. Since they have a replacement system (hopefully more secure) in the works and they've used the data from he hackers to mitigate potential financial impacts to the system in the mean time, they're being completely level-headed about the process. It's a damned shame this doesn't happen more often.
I like my vehicles like I like my software - buy once for the features that exist now; upgrade when there is a compelling reason to do so. This rent-seeking subscription bullshit is crap.
My issue is that it's an inefficient use of human resources because it clutters the interface. If you're looking for the answer to a question, you have to post in multiple places and/or search/review multiple communities to see if the question has already been answered. For low-traffic communities the replies get split, suppressing topic participation. For high traffic communities, stories/links that get posted to the "same" community on multiple instances clog up personal home pages and - in the case of large participation - clog up the top feed.
Again, imho, there should be a way for communities to aggregate or sync across instances and be shown as a single feed, like a symlink to multiple folders that is treated as a single location for end users. I realize this causes moderation concerns. I still think its better for the participants.
Oh no, a new discussion board is neither as robust nor as polished as one with over a decade of use and revision.
Most of the complaints are just whining that Lemmy isn't a perfect drop-in replacement for his love of endless, constant time wasting on Reddit. OTOH, the issue of multiple, nominally identical communities on Lemmy is a true weakness of the platform (imho, of course).
Many years ago I switched from iOS to Android specifically because android allowed you to circumvent carrier restrictions on hotspot functionality (at least unofficially). I guess Ajit Pai has bent the knee to telecoms now.
Reminder - gas prices cannot be hiked by suppliers because they don’t own the gas. Petroleum products are bought and sold on commodity markets before they’re ever refined or even removed from the ground. These “futures” are bought and sold and the price at the pump is related to the current price to purchase the product from the commodity brokers, plus transportation and local markup.
There are legitimate uses for futures contracts, but much of it is just gambling and capitalistic opportunism.
And they’re probably still there. I haven’t gone back and looked lately, but I did the delete whack a mole for about three weeks until my account was empty save for my up/down votes. It’s still empty.
But I looked up something a couple weeks ago and went to the Reddit link …and one of my comments was right there in the thread. There were others I could find via google, but not search on Reddit. They’re only there in context.
What the devil?
