This was the "great" things Trump said could be done for Ukraine peace talks.

$10 says they just copy his mod code, refactoring & obfuscate it, then sell it as remastered

trying to erase LGBTQ people from society?

That is the purpose.

Also worth mentioning that a presidential pardon commutes the sentence and ends jail time, but does NOT expunge one's criminal record.
If a j6'er has a felony record from the event,that will still appear on background checks for employment including with state orgs. It's a get out of jail free card, but there are still other consequences attached. That makes it very easy for a governor such as the above to exclude such traitors from holding state positions.

bigoted as they may be.

You are not welcome here or at any other instance then. Report me all you want.

If you truly want your bigoted Freeze Peach, go ahead and start up your own instance. See how long it lasts before every other major instance cuts you off- if you can figure it out, lemmy is notoriously hard to run right.

Reported.

Lmao how free speech of you!!!1!1!!

Here at db0 is about as free as you can get...

EXCEPT.

If your definition of "free speech" is "I want to be racist or homophobic", which I suspect this is, go kick rocks loser.

None. Every single modern vehicle built by every major manufacturer has copius tracking and phone-home features, even the most basic of basic stripped down fleet vehicles with no infotainment still do it.

If you're electronically inclined, one could probably find a modern vehicle that is sufficiently modular and remove/disable the phone-home systems. (GM's OnStar I believe is still fairly defeatable these days, as it is or was a separate computer module). But unless you have deep, innate knowledge of RF and can go so far as to band scan your vehicle after you remove or destroy the relevant wireless tech, there is no guarantee you will get 100% secure. And many of those systems are now (intentionally) deeply integrated with the rest of the body control devices and alarm systems, defeating them may throw errors that will cripple your car into engine limp mode or endless nuisance alerts.

This also doesn't account for the fact that modern vehicles do a lot of saved-trip logging that would still be available locally, if someone were so inclined to gain physical access to and/or confiscate your vehicle to download said logs.

Buy used and keep fixing them, or stop driving, those are your options. Welcome to late stage capitalism, sucks to suck, will that be cash or card?

Some part of me is glad my WWII grandfather died in December, so he didn't have to see thr country he fought for get turned into the very thing he fought against.

It's only illegal if you get caught. 😉

 
 

The collapse of the state Republican Party continues.

 

I'm in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.

Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!)
I've always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel. (I'm also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).

Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.

 

It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

 

Context for the inexperienced: these are cone seat GM lugnuts, the cone portion is supposed to face IN towards the wheel as they are self centering, not OUT... guy didn't know wtf he was doin

Firefox latest on Android 14, web front-end

Images seem to work fine now after the 19.4 upgrade.
Except when posting images via direct upload. I've tried to post an image with body description a couple times now to another community and as soon as I hit submit, it just instantly removes the image and doesn't post anything, leaving me on the create post page.

Edit: Pretty sure this is a front end bug as I had to hit submit twice to make this post. When you hit submit it jumps to the top of the page first.

Legend: Candidate Name (party, %of vote)

Vote tallies current as of 12:30am PST, May 22nd 2024
(Due to lower voter turnout in primaries, most ballots are already counted by this time and these totals are unlikely to change significantly by the election certification date.)

Please see title link to the official Secretary of State page for complete and accurate election results.

Statewide Positions
Secretary of State: Tobias Read (D, 71%) will run against disgraced state senator (who is barred from running for senate) Dennis Linthicum (R, 65%)

State Treasurer: Elizabeth Steiner (D, 78%) will run against another disgraced state senator who is barred from running, Brian Boquist (R, uncontested)

Attorney General: Dan Rayfield (D, 76%) will run against Will Lathrop (R, 64%)

Other Notable Contested Races:
US Representative, 3rd Dist: Current State Rep Maxine Dexter (D, 50.7%) beats out former Multnomah county commissioner Susheela Jayapal (D, 28.5%)

State Representative, 12th Dist: Darin Harbick (R, 82%) beats out current representative Charlie Conrad (R, 18%) for the republican nomination. No other candidates filed for any other party, so Harbick is the de-facto winner of the position.
Conrad faced this primary challenge by Harbick due to his Yes vote on HB2002 that created legal protections for abortion rights and transgender care. Conrad was publicly censured and disowned by the state Republican Party due to his vote not toeing the party line. Read more here.

Personally Irksome:
State Senate District 28: Diane Linthicum (R, 59%), the wife and co-conspirator of disgraced senator Dennis Linthicum, beats out current Klamath County Commissioner Dave Henslee (R, 41%) for the republican nomination. No other candidates filed for any other party, so Linthicum is the de-facto winner of the position.
Mrs. Linthicum has no real world qualifications to be Senator beyond being the husband of the current disgraced Senator, and has all but openly said she is only running to be the mouth of her husband as to bypass the election restrictions.

Notable core gameplay changes:

  • you can now claim authorship of NPC ships after you hack them so that npc pcu limits are correct (and your ownership is also correct)
  • destroyed cargo containers now have a temporary storage item that drops with everything in it instead of puking out 750 thousand items and creating a lag bomb
  • there is now a communications block that can send chat messages
  • there is now ways to wirelessly send actions between grids, a HUGE advancement to automation

This is shaping up to be a fantastic core update. Looking forward to playing it.
