Agreed, most of home security is to try and make your neighbours a more tempting target than you. The ethical choice is to do it by making your home a bit more difficult to break into though I guess you could “debuff” the neighbours as well 😉

Or if you have kids they can’t lose their keys if they just have a pin. And that pin can be changed if they tell it to someone.

I wish that he would try his hand on a lock from Yale. Considering that they are part of Assa Abloy who are very well respected in the lock business. My suspicion is that a company who are mainly makers of mechanical locks at least won’t fall prey for the many of the beginners mistakes lockpicking lawyer points out.

The difference is that one will force you to actually stop, if even for just a moment. That can give you enough time to actually see oncoming traffic.

Freespace 2 with a force feedback joystick. When you got a bit too close to a capital ship’s beam weapon and the whole joystick started to shake. One of my most immersive experiences in a game.

I find it interesting that in Swedish the opposite of sunwise is “motsols”, i.e. counter sunwise or literally “against the sun”. Sunwise is called “medsols”, lit. “with the sun”.

I mean people hate Walmart and yet they make a ton of money.

The difference to Walmart is that there are alternatives, especially these days, to Tesla. Walmart on the other hand is known to push out smaller retailers in the town they settle into. The option for people can be really slim regardless if you like them or not.

No one cares about the rich assholes who own other car companies, so why Tesla? For example Toyota were some of the biggest campaign donors to Trump.

Because the others know to keep their mouths shut and not draw attention to themselves. Also F Toyota for being donors.

Also what does this have to do with Fuck Cars? This is about the minutiae of car culture… We should be talking about trains and bicycles here.

This I totally agree with though. I would perhaps also include cars in the capacity of how they hurt our cities for instance, but in this case it’s not like the article said that the Tesla owners bought bikes instead.

Iirc many Tesla owners were/are left leaning and I’m guessing many of them bought a Tesla in a combination of tech enthusiasm and wanting avoiding fossil fuel. The same group of people are probably more positive to, for instance, 15 min cities. So it’s likely that some members here own a Tesla.

Remembering Habe once saying in an interview that valve isn’t a public stock company because they want players as their customers, not stockholders.

My kids school in Sweden, at least age 6 to 12 have a school day from 8 till 13, or 14 for the older kids, and still no homework.

But long days would be counterproductive. Learning is hard work, that’s part of the reason a new job is so exhausting. Doing that long hours for years would only burn kids out even more.

Agreed. I find it fascinating how hard it is for some people to understand the difference between “lawful” and “morally right”.

As much as I dislike Facebook I really don’t agree with the idea that they should pay for linking to news articles.

One could flip the argument in article and ask if having a post on Facebook is worthless for the newspapers, then why are companies paying Meta for ads on Facebook?

I also feel that this goes against the concept of the internet. If Facebook has to pay then why shouldn’t I when I’m linking to a page from my blog? Why shouldn’t Lemmy?

The problem for the rest of us is that big companies can handle the payment, and they can handle the admin for getting paid. The rest of us won’t get paid but we’ll all have to pay. The barriers for entry will only become bigger and only the big boys will be allowed to play.

I’m sorry, the temptation was too great!

Oh I totally am, I’m just pretending not to be so that I can stealthily check up on you…

There’s two parts to a diagnosis:
A. Do you have enough of the ADHD traits as written in DSM-5?
2. Are the traits hurting you in a number of common settings in your everyday life?

Short answer yes

Long answer it might be a ploy but it’ll most likely work. If nothing else you doing your part gives her more time to be attracted to you.

Is there a lot of monies in the competitive Roblox circuit?

It really sucks that they went and blocked Linux. Before that it worked flawlessly. I was close to moving my kids over to Linux when they did.

Unfortunately yes, a month or so Roblox actively blocked Linux än VM:s. They claimed it is only temporarily until their new client is stable so that they can evaluate the results for windows first. General consensus seems to be that could just as well just filtered the results considering that they are able to block Linux all together.

I haven’t checked it out for a couple of weeks though so I don’t know if a workaround has been found. It’s annoying though because Roblox worked perfectly before that. I would have loved to migrate my kids computer’s to Linux as well since I got problems with rage every time I try to fix things on them 😅

I feel that this very much depnd on which games you’re playing. Competitive or Roblox, Windows is the better choice. Majority of the games I play though works without any issues on Linux.

I’ve heard that some games even are faster on Linux even when running proton buy it isn’t anything I’ve myself has investigated.

Gaming is one of my main intrests and I’ve been playing on Linux for at least ten years. It’s not for everyone I guess.
