If you are surprised by that most Americans want more rights for cars and trucks than for people you have not been paying attention.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Name some default Firefox settings you think don't make sense.English
22·5 days agoThat closing the last tab closes the window instead of leaving you with a blank tab. And that there is not even an option in the UI to change this, and you have to go to
about:config->browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab.
I went shopping with my partner for a lamp. On the positive side, when store employees get chatty, my partner handles the smalltalk. On the negative side, I knew what I wanted the lamp to do; my partner had vague feelings about how they wanted the lamp to make them feel. We did not find a lamp that instilled the right feelings.
It was not a total loss, I bought a lamp for my work desk so I can see better for writing and soldering. And I got some poffertjes from a street vendor.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Timing Flaw in systemd Cleanup Enables Root Privilege EscalationEnglish
211·10 days agoNothing in the Qualys report nor the Ubuntu page for the CVE indicate that there is something to be fixed in systemd, only that you can create systemd-tmpfiles rules that will expose the vulnerability in snapd.
What do you think systemd-tmpfiles needs to do differently?

401·10 days agoYet another critical vulnerability in systemd
This is a critical vulnerability in snapd, not systemd. It sounds like it could also be exploited if something other than systemd deleted the files in
/tmp/. Or if/tmp/was not mounted.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is no one held accountable if a driverless EV ran over a pedestrian?English
204·19 days agoDepends where. In America, human drivers are not held accountable for running over pedestrians, so I am not sure why a computer would be.

1·20 days agoI do not understand why you seem so convinced that I voted for Jill Stein. I did not. I am well aware that she is terrible.

12·20 days agoAre you suggesting that the Working Families candidate running for council of my small city is a Russian asset?
Are you suggesting that instead I must vote for the Democrat mayor who got busted for not actually living in the city when she admitted it when her ex-husband was busted for selling drugs out of the house that she claimed to live in (and where her children did live), and then got busted for campaign finance violations but was still allowed to run again?
Or the Democrat state senator who repeatedly defended sex offenders in the Senate?
Or the Democrat governor who gave a billion dollars of taxpayer money to out-of-state billionaires to build a new head-injury stadium (that the state would not own). And who tried to kill congestion pricing in NYC?
You and the vote-blue-no-matter-who people can fuck all the way off if you refuse to put good candidates.

53·20 days agoDepends where he lives. I always vote third party, but every district I am in is gerrymandered, and my state is not within 10 points of competitive for president, so my votes do not matter other than getting third parties on the ballot.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world• Local AI Companion for Radarr: Uses Ollama to Understand Your Taste (Vibe, Atmosphere, Mood), Auto-Complete Sagas, Explore Filmographies, and Add Movies SeamlesslyEnglish
1022·22 days agoNo LLM use is benign. The effects on the environment, the internet, and society are real, and that cannot be ignored.
You can make the argument that in some cases it is justified, e.g.: for scientific research.
Suburbia means there will be more space dedicated to cars than to people, and you won’t have easy access to nature or civilization, because you are surrounded by miles of just more suburbia.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•How to have firefox's cache be saved on custom directory ?English
3·24 days agoLinux-specific: as of version 147, Firefox respects the XDG base dir specifications, so you should be able to set
$XDG_CACHE_HOME.
My rigid bike is 0/0, which is just about right for what I use it for.
160/135. I would be perfectly happy with 140/115. I hope to keep this bike for at least 10 years, and by then I will be old enough that I should probably stop doing the things for which the 160/135 is nice.

4·25 days agoIf your home IP does not change often, you can use a dynamic DNS service. But your services will be unavailable from the time that your IP changes and the time the DNS record is updated and the cached responses expire.









Reminds me of how we were dressed up as Pilgrims and Native Americans and taught that god blessed the pilgrims with this new land and they were welcomed with open arms and gifts of corn and turkeys.
