If this shit happens then none of us (citizens included) have due process. ICE can just say they suspect you're an illegal immigrant and lock you up forever. A lot of people seem to think that if you just show them the documents or prove that you're a citizen this won't happen. All they have to do is snatch you up. You typically see this line of thought from folks defending the current administration, like they believe if you rationally present your argument to authority they'll always agree.

On TikTok I've seen an ad showing literal penis in vagina. But people have to say "unalive."

I can't open the article, but I think I read that this was hosted on an unprotected bucket. Assuming that's correct I wouldn't say this was a breach. A better headline would be "Women dating safety app 'Tea' exposed women's PII".

To be 100% clear, I'm not excusing the hackers. I don't believe it's morally correct to publicize something because it is exposed. For folks curious about that you can look into how to ethically disclose vulnerabilities. I still view this as doxxing. I still believe what the hackers did should be a criminal offense, it's just that I also believe the app holds a ton of the blame as well. How can you proclaim to be about keeping women safe while putting them at risk? That should be punished as well.

Like if the storage facility you trusted to hold your stuff never had locks on the doors, shouldn't they take a lot of the blame as well as the thief who found out a door was unlocked?

Parental controls: exist

Law makers: But what if we made people submit really sensitive information instead of requiring websites to identify themselves as adult for the purpose of content filters?

I'm not sure if this is a weird bug with the search or there's something weird in the database. It's also odd that they show different subscriber counts. Both link to !til@lemmy.world.

Edit: This is related to a known problem as Ategon mentioned. Disregard! :)

With lines like "[your political opinion] is a mental disorder", why is he surprised they aren't coming?

Update: Turns out I was too concerned. The manual actually says to use the top rack.

UPDATE: Stopping and reopening the app fixes this. It needs to actually stop though, you can't just switch apps and reopen. Either wait for it to close on its own or force stop. I did not try the main menu method as suggested, though. It may be easier.

For context, "no hello website" is a term I'm using to describe websites like https://nohello.com/. The gist is that it's trying to get people to no only say "hello" but also ask whatever it is they're trying to ask you about. (In my opinion, this can even extend to generic conversations, like "hey, how are you?" versus just "hey!")

The problem is, many of these websites seem pretty rude. At the end of the day, I don't think it's possible to make one not seem at least a little rude because telling someone not to say hello just sounds rude lol. That said, even my favorite one (https://nohello.club/) has phrases like

  1. Unnecessary pleasantries
  2. useless phrase like "Hello"

But I like it because it doesn't say things like this that the original http://nohello.com/ says

please be prepared to be ignored if you only say "Hello!".

Some context, I'm not necessarily looking to include this on any corporate messaging app bio (unless it was 100% polite, which as I said I don't find possible). But the closer to something that polite, the more useful I think it is.

There is a promotion for new hams to get the Explorer QRZ-1 for $22 (along with some software and a cable, but I already have a cable and CHIRP is free). It is normally $60. Is this a good deal? Is this radio worthwhile?

I currently have a Baofeng UV-5R (Baofeng #1 radio! Wooo!) and a TIDRADIO TD-H3. I haven't really made contacts with either and don't know how well they perform. Is this QRZ-1 substantially better?

Antenna mounted in attic? (programming.dev)

How poorly would an attic mounted antenna perform? Obviously worse than something outside, I'm guessing, but how much worse?

My office has one of those "side attics." It has a half sized door. Mounting a long antenna in there is very tempting because of how much easier it would be than doing anything outside. It's on the second floor as well.

I hear that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren't there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

Two different webs very close together. I like to imagine they'd chat about their days of they could!

For the unaware, there is a thing people do at Dragon Con (and possibly other conventions) called Swag and Seek where people make trinkets and leave them around the convention for people to take. This is probably the coolest one I found this year.

Context here, at least my understanding from when I worked in a deli ~10 years ago, is that EBT can only cover cold food. So they're offering to let you buy cold chicken then warm it for free.

You should be legally required to offer content you have on a copyright or else allow people to "pirate" it. The same way you must defend trademarks. If you don't actually offer content you have the copyright for them you shouldn't be allowed to prevent people from distributing it as abandonware.

Honestly, probably the best outcome.
