You would likely be refused entry for not handing over the phone, legal or not.

Using a burner phone is the best bet.

Because American politics is just an us vs them game. No reasoning, no discussion, just the other bad.

Yeah this. I dunno what the fuss is about. Its just missing on github is all.

Literally missed the point my comment.

Sounds like something I should use

With Windows 10, Microsoft started performing a monthly cumulative updating schedule. Every second Tuesday of the month is "patch day" and a new monthly cumulative update is made available.

There are exceptions to this, for security and bug fixes that can't wait until the next monthly round-up. So perhaps this month was one of those? But trends are that updates are monthly. I can see it being perceived as more often, as the update is forced onto us, with a reboot, which can be frustrating.

Azure servers now support reboot-less updating, hopefully that makes its way to consumer products, but who knows.

Microsoft has always had a bad rep for their OS being full of holes and getting exploited. However some of this was due to users not updating. Microsoft would patch an issue, but huge swaths of unpatched Windows machines would be exploited and used as botnets. I think the forced updates were in response to this situation. Not that I agree with it.

Sorry, you're right. The point I was trying to clumsily make is that It didn't have the effect that the RAF were aiming for. Which was to break morale and more importantly, stem the civilian population production of war. If anything, production increased, despite the terror.

I'm incredibly ignorant on WW2, and in general knowledge, being a nerd and all, my brain is full of Linux. However I have recently been watching the World War in Color series. I've been watching several other similar series and I'm totally hooked now.

The run-up to WW2 and current US affairs look strikingly similar. I look at the TV, then my phone, then back at the TV and "it's the same picture".

Enabling captcha and email pretty much stopped dead all new registrations for my instance. I was having an issue with bot/troll accounts and this solved it.

The British turned entire cities into flame tornados during ww2, and it galvanised the Germans rather than deter them.

I used to see this on Reddit, I'm disappointed this behaviour is also on Lemmy.

Users collecting mod status on multiple communities, and then using that power to mass-ban a single user from a bunch of communities.

Modlog show how incredibly trigger happy some mods can be. Minor transgressions, deserving to have their comment removed at least, but then banned from unrelated communities as a consequence. This will only get worse as users become supermods.

Edit: It seems this is how an instance ban is reported, by banning from any communities the user has participated in. Then perhaps it isn't all as bad as it seems.

 

but @LadyButterfly is killing it in my feed.

 

I just wanted to tell you how great you all are.

I moved to Lemmy shortly before the mass exodus from Reddit in 2023. I eventually created an instance of my own and to begin with, leaving Reddit felt like a mistake.

I could browse Lemmy's equivalent of /r/all top-last-24-hours in about 15 minutes, so my doom-scroll time plummeted. I was better for it. However, I still yearned for the meme laughs and thought provoking comment threads of Reddit. Lemmy had them, but they were much fewer.

Fast forward to today. My instance is hosting a popular up and coming community, of which I'm honoured, even if I'm not welcome. The top-24-hour of all posts is now more than enough to satisfy my needs. I laugh at memes, I get to share posts I found on Lemmy with friends and family, I'm exposed to more cultures than just American which is a real refreshing change.

It isn't mainstream, and I think its better for it. It has its own culture, and we are beginning to get all meta with Lemmy in-jokes which I think is both annoying and awesome at the same time (ie. Hussain memes).

Overall, I am just really happy for Lemmy and am glad to be sharing it with all of you. May the good times continue.

 

The shield is a great device, but I'm starting to notice some considerable lag at times.

Before I factory reset it, is there a good alternative?

I have an older Apple TV I'm going to try but I'd prefer to stay Android.

Features I'd want are

  • Android TV
  • Netflix and Jellyfin support
  • Powerful / fast
  • Similar codec support, however only for compatibility. I'm not needing HDR or Atmos etc. Some of my family are deaf so we watch with subtitles and have a simple speaker setup.

I love this guy with every fibre of my being. He is 14yr old and starting to show his age. He has had a great life but I get all teary knowing that I'll out live him.

 
 

Can't wait. Super excited. Visiting France, Brussels, Germany, Netherlands.

 

I was just thinking. In the UK government every cabinet minister, which are those with specific jobs like head of education, or health, also has an opposite "shadow" person from the other main party whose job is to argue with the other. Imagine you had the job of Shadow head of education. Must be an easy job, you just argue with the other guy. But then your party wins the election and things just got real. You got to do the job for serious now.

Sync grabs images using an option for max length of 1500px, so the super long images are just a smattering of pixels that barely represent the original image.

I can't find a way in the app to get a better quality version. I end up opening a web browser to view.
