  • Really big trend that year for Republicans to decide they can just ignore subpoenas. Meanwhile, these days Gym of Ohio, who ignored a subpoena in 2022, is threatening Fani Willis for not responding to subpoenas quickly enough.

  • Wow, imagine being so self important that you petitioned the Supreme Court for an emergency intervention to keep you from going to a 4 month sentence for a fairly ordinary situation.

  • Yes, it's become common over the past few years. People walk up to houses or apartments, catch the signal, and use a device to copy it and steal the car.

    Couple example articles:

    So there are signal-blocking pouches sold to prevent this:

  • People using the Pomodoro technique use apps like that. That's usually 25 minutes, 5 minute break, repeated 4 times, then a 30 minute break. This is apparently a popular Android one but there are others for Windows, Chrome, MacOs, I assume Linux and more for Android as well.

  • I don’t know about the Android feature, but on iPhones, they reserve a little power when the battery is dead, or the phone is powered off, and it continues to be fully trackable. It functions like an AirTag by relaying off other nearby iOS devices.

  • You can get a faraday pouch. Also highly recommended for car keys.

  • This saved me on an iPhone before. I lost my phone outside a bar miles from my house, and didn’t notice at the time. The next day I was able to track it and go retrieve it despite that the battery was dead. Otherwise I never would have seen it again.

  • That's true, he's a case study in poor ethics. Always good to know what's going on out there.

  • Why would I think about Jake Paul?

  • An interesting thing to me is that in China, rather than TikTok, ByteDance has an app called Douyin with built-in time limits and a focus on educational videos. Here, and I guess it's kind of our problem, TikTok is known for... you know, the kind of total crap you get on TikTok. Kids dancing, stupid pranks, and "here's how to steal a Kia" etc.

  • Hell yeah, algae

  • Historically the concerns have been that the GPL is less “free” than the BSD license.

  • Oh, Canada?

  • It's quite a giveaway to a lucky American business. I vote Google because then they'll get bored with it and shut it down.

  • Conservative fascism and Trump's foreign policy would kill a hell of a lot more people than 50k in Gaza, but more of them too.

  • First thing trump would do is stop all Ukraine aid and give Putin the green light, second thing he'd do is withdraw from NATO.

  • If you have extra deductions you can regise it. Otherwise, they come up with a tax return they’re satisfied with.

  • Plus smoke.

  • I'll thank you now! though it's not quite a jackground...

  • I actually love the look of that desktop background...
