Technology•As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled MonstrosityEnglish
2·2 months agoYea, as the other person mentioned, to my knowledge (which is limited) the video decoding in the browser on Linux tends to be browser and hardware specific. I know it’s gotten easier over the past couple years tho.

I received these socks when I wrecked my ankle in the emergency room so they could fit over my air cast. Or… did I just think I was in the emergency room…. I may have some thinking to do.

THE POLICE PROBLEM•‘No Arrests’: In New York, Some Police Can Drink, Drive and Avoid ChargesEnglish
10·3 months agoWhen I was younger I would play golf at my local country club. I wouldn’t have been able to afford a membership but a friend of mine worked the bar/sign in sheet for golf. So when I came in he would pretend I was a member and hand me cart keys to go play. To make amends, I would come in after golfing and have a couple drinks so I could tip my friend. A couple times a week, a state trooper everyone knew would be in there pounding 7 and 7s. He’d had four or five and then take “one for the road”. Always had his cruiser with him. Also New York State.
It’s not a vaccine problem, it’s an education problem. A large portion of Americans are exceptionally gullible to propaganda and Republicans have weaponized it very well. The anti-vax narrative is not present in large portions of the population in other developed nations. We need to look within, not at the solution to disease.
Edit: Unfortunately others are informing me that this is a problem in other countries as well, which is sad. My partners family is from a country in Europe that doesn’t appear to have this issue at scale so I foolishly extrapolated.

movies@piefed.social•‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Is Netflix’s Most-Watched Movie Ever With 236 Million Views, Beating ‘Red Notice’
13·4 months agoAgreed. My middle-aged friend talked this movie up like crazy until I finally watched it. It was meh.
I’ve had at least a dozen dreams of trying to text someone during an emergency and I’m unable to do so. I keep fat fingering the buttons and it won’t send.

Linux@programming.dev•Security Researchers Find XZ Utils Backdoored Debian Images on Docker Hub
351·4 months ago“The backdoor targeted SSH servers by hooking into OpenSSH’s cryptographic functions through the liblzma.so library.”
Not exactly academic in this case.
“On Sunday, while on a hunting safari with us in South Africa’s Limpopo Province, Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo. He was tracking it together with one of our professional hunters and one of our trackers. This is a devastating incident, and our hearts go out to his loved ones.”
Go fuck yourself Coenraad and Vermaak Safaris. Unprovoked my ass. You were trying to murder the Buffalo. Also, stop calling this shit hunting. You can’t lead a millionaire douchbag with a gun out into a ranch with a tracker and call him hunter. Are you going to pull the trigger for him too?

FGOP•GOP Rep. Mills accused of threatening to release nude videos of ex-girlfriend
3·4 months agoCory mills was 41 when he started dating the 21-22 year old Lindsey Langston. Seems on brand for a GOP member. Here are some other classic GOP tidbits:
Mills was married:
“Langston said that Mills told her he was separated from his wife at the time they started their relationship. The representative is still married.”
Assault on a woman allegation:
“Langston told the sheriff’s department that she was in a relationship with Mills from November 2021 until February, when she said she ended it after seeing media reports that police in Washington were called to investigate an alleged assault by the representative against a woman.”
Threatening to release nudes and assault future partners:
“Cory Mills has accused the Republican member of Congress from Florida of threatening to release nude videos of her after she broke off their relationship, according to a police report.”
“Lindsey Langston, a Florida Republican state committee member and 2024 winner of the Miss United States beauty pageant, told authorities on July 14 that Mills also threatened to harm any of her future romantic partners, according to a report she made to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Department that was obtained Tuesday by POLITICO.”
And the icing on the cake? He did in fact vote for the ‘Take it down’ revenge bill. Will the police do anything about these allegations? We all know the answer to this question.

World News•South African farm worker says he was forced to feed women to pigsEnglish
41·4 months ago“Such tension is especially rife in rural areas, despite the end of the racist system of apartheid more than 30 years ago. Most private farmland remains in the hands of the white minority, while most farm workers are black and poorly paid, fuelling resentment among the black population, while many white farmers complain of high crime rates.”
That last sentence sounds familiar. Gee-whiz, I wonder why the crime rates are so high?

Congrats on playing “life” in hard mode and getting ahead. And props to your mom.
Two questions:
- Do you have a relationship with your dad?
- How did you stay out of the drugs/violence growing up?
Nice! Congrats on the position.

Holy shit that was tough to finish that article. There are so many quotes from this idiot that are just fucking nonsense. Here are my top three:
“It is just as tough,” Liebman exclusively tells Fortune. “Back then, it was more difficult in some ways because you had less neighborhoods that people would live.”
Plus, she says, never has there been more opportunity at young people’s fingertips—not just when it comes to inventory on the market: “If you’re not afraid to show off your skill set, and you try and find yourself an opportunity where you’re going to be appreciated and where people are going to allow you to expand your horizons and hopefully add value to the company that you’re at, I think it’s an unbelievable time.”
“It’s not that expensive,” she adds. “So if you’re willing to move around, which people are now, I think that there are definitely opportunities out there… You’re going to secure a much, much less expensive apartment than if you are insistent on being in the West Village.”
