I dont believe your results are what would happen but neither of us have data to back it since its conjecture.

Here’s what I do know, US has more guns than anyone and also has the biggest issue with gun violence. Normally I dont imply correlation is always causation, but I havent seen any other reason that is unique to the US for the increased gun violence other than the uniquely high number of guns and the clear fetishization of guns.

This is as someone looking in, so I dont pretend to have all the answers, it just seems weird to say “there are lots of pool drownings each year, so let’s put more pools in everyone’s houses so they can learn preventative swimming” that’s what adding more guns sounds like to me.

Aren’t a ton of school shooters by a teenager who took his dad’s gun? How would he do that if dad doesn’t have a gun

Id imagine it would reduce school shooters at least

Wouldn’t the jury take it at face value that the gun was found on him? The other pieces you mentioned are speculation.

Pihole gets less and less effective as more stuff gets encrypted or share domains with the basic functionality of the device.

Yeah. The indie game scene really is where the value is

Sign of the times.

I used to buy a ton of games. Its now hard to justify with the price of everything going up so dramatically. I still buy more than average, but probably more along the lines of one every few months and never full price releases.

Was staying away from Linux for this reason. Last time I used it, it was brutal.

I just installed pop OS and everything works out of the box except for the faceID thing. But that was 10 minutes setting up another app and now it works.

The laptop performs so much better now than it did with window 11

Pink Floyd fan here. I would not wear this because even in the pink Floyd lore its a representation of a fascist group. Even in the best case its still a dog whistle.

Wait, so the achievement is just to get Gary Newman to say hes the real gary? How is that recognized in the game?

Last time I tried Linux for gaming was over 10 years ago. I know there is proton now which makes it easier etc. But even then I would constantly have issues with sound or drivers or some other thing that made it less “plug and play” than windows. Has this been improved in that time?

I have a laptop thats 16gb ram and Intel iris xe but has chugged since it was forcibly upgraded to windows 11. I want to try Linux to see if day to day things would be more performant, but I dont want to add a bunch of headaches because of it

Edit: thanks all for the great responses. It sounds like I should give it a go

Edit2: I dove into pop os and really happy so far. Better performance doing regular browsing etc. Had to mess around to get Linux howdy to work, but otherwise very seamless. Much much improved since the last time i used Linux.

I’ve heard about this from a number of youtubers. It seems to be a much bigger dip than they’ve ever seen

Ok, but isnt it a bit fucked up that ice is using “gotta catch em all” when they are talking about “catching” actual people? Like jesus christ so dehumanizing.

God the US is so fucked.

It is a valid perspective imo /shrug

So the is the reverse.

Imo people are allowed to be attracted to who they are attracted to for various reasons.

Is your conservative friend part of a hate cult?

I dunno about funniest cause I have a terrible memory. But the other day my dog escaped out of the side gate. We didn’t notice for half and hour. When we went looking for him in the backyard, we found her patiently waiting to be left back in through the gate she escaped from.

I looked on the cameras and saw that in that entire time. She just walked to the front patio and sat with her teddy bear in her mouth, just looking around. Then turned around and walked back to the gate to be let in.

How dare you not think of every single edge case and exception and explicitly call it out in an appendix?? I expect better of lemmy

There’s also been a rise in swim shirts for boys and men. Which I see as a positive. Especially when it comes to sun exposure

They know that, that’s why they have the reels auto play hah Its Definitely a problem i can solve

Less youtube, more stories and reels on Instagram and Facebook. I should really delete all my meta products…

And its hard not to engage when someone says ridiculous things like child deaths are acceptable cost to keep 2nd amendment
