edit- follow up question

“a well regulated militia”. since the amendment was passed, and since the US has a military, has there even been a militia? would you trust your random neighbours loading up and marching against something? or would you expect law enforcement to crush it?

seems like the amendment has become “the locals can have guns and murder each other”. Nothing to with a “militia”; or defending your country.

I just bought my first air compressor. The manual says to turn the regulator all the way down when you turn the compressor on and then to turn it up when you want to use the air but it doesn’t say how high. 

If I want to fill my tires to 35psi, do I just set the regulator to 35? Or do I set it higher so the tires fill faster?

I never really tolerated this take on the show. And how many often accused Matt and Trey of being libertarians or even downright bigots even though they're trying to make a socialist statement on civilisation or the topic of the week like gay marriage and treatment of disability in media and how people could potentially be faking it for exploitation both of which were actually very well done and progressive especially the tourettes example.

Also they've ruthless mocked Trump in a story arc not only once but twice. And their latest season is so aggressively ruthless and savage, It feels like they're doing more for the liberal No Kings uprising than The current democratic party leaders who are all talk and no substance.

I'm not saying I don't fully disagree with people's disdain for the show (primarily the trans community. I can see why they hate South Park's guts) but to consider it a permanent stain on basic human decency and a horrid influence for milennials is honestly pretty hair splitting if you'd ask me.

Am I missing something here within these folks? is punching sideways/mocking everyone equally really any worst than complete douchebags straight up punching down for the sake of pissing off the unfortunate because they find it hilarious (Looking at you Tony Hinchcliffe, and Babylon Bee)? Are the South Park guys really to blame for shaping an entire demographic into not caring about any Global Disputes with Current Affairs? Or did the boundaries pushing and subtle satire simply got lost in people who either grewed up into the very thing they were mocking or viewed it as a cesspool of nihlist Slop?

LTT is incredibly corporate (+ a private jet??), Mrwhosetheboss is super AI-pilled (generated "hand painted" wallpaper of him and wife? Really?), Marques has his own controversies (e.g. exceeding highway speeds in a school zone, wallpaper app cashgrab, etc. + he does not seem to have any concept of value or budget), Gamers Nexus has their own problems (e.g. they claimed how Matrix could be Israeli spyware, with the source being a poorly received Reddit comment), etc.

Wendell from Level1Techs is still quite good and relatively out of controversy, perhaps because he doesn't target a general audience like the above? Veronica Explains (Linux and adjacent topics) and Jeff Geerling (primarily self-hosting and networking bits) are also great in their niches. Salem Techspurts (the greatest technician to ever live) and Hugh Jeffreys both cover topics relating to right to repair and they make interesting videos around vintage electronics as well!

Are there any other good tech creators that are not super corporate, not AI-pilled, and outside of controversy?

I just wonder. If you can openly carry a firearm. Could you not also openly carry a sword? Bow and arrow?

Asking for a friend.

I have started drinking tart cherry juice and eating a kiwi before bed. The theory being that kiwi's have serotonin and tart cherry juice has melatonin that help you sleep. Seems to be working for me. It just seems weird to me that they have serotonin and melatonin. I'm also wondering what other hormones can you get from plants?

In an attempt to boost activity I've tried to answer a few questions in this, and similar communities. Looking for an old comment, I found out that a bunch of posts I'd answered are now *Permanently Deleted*, and what's that about? If they're LLM slop there's enough of it I'd rather just block the community so as to not waste any time.

Lots of programming languages have their own package manager, separate from the distribution or OS package manager.

Going loosely from the TIOBE index:

• Python has Pip
• C# has NuGet
• Javascript has npm for Node.js
• Visual Basic also uses NuGet
• R has a repository of packages that can be installed by running install.packages("something") in R
• Rust has Cargo/Crates
• Go has the go get command
• Swift has its own package manager swift package
• Ruby has RubyGems
• Java has Maven and Gradle (not sure if they are full package managers, or build automation tools with dependency resolution)
• PHP has Composer for managing libraries and dependencies
• C and C++ are the only exceptions I can think of, off the top of my head; libraries are managed by, and coupled to, the operating system

Background: I was recently doomscrolling the All page when I found a post bashing a specific topic that's somewhat personal to me. It was obvious that the OP was making a rage post, but gave it a read. I responded with my two sense countering OP's perspective (in what I thought was a respectful manner). Admittedly, I did not read the rules of the community I posted in, but ive found if your civil most people will deal with you in good faith. Apparently that community is not a place that disagreement to the perspective OP expressed is tolerated. I had my post deleted and was banned from the community for my comment (I know its not hard to dredge up the details, but don't want to name names cause that's not really the point).

I keep finding myself dwelling on the whole experience and keep raging about how things played out. I know I'm better off not dealing with that community and frankly wish I'd never discovered it. The whole ordeal is becoming a major distraction from daily life and I don't like the effects is having on my headspace.

So I suppose, how do you all deal with your brain dwelling on dumb interactions with mal-intented people? Lol, the ideal suggestion should not involve any tones of revenge.

1. Can I deny an addon certain permissions listed as "required"?

2. Can I deny it to phone home, as in block any custom outbound connection it tries to establish?

More toggle switches for things like that would be nice compared to "The developer says this extension doesn't require data collection"

Currently sitting on my toilet trying to be quiet and this damn thing is making my ass sound like a brass only orchestra 🫩

the one benefit i see is as a final "lock in your answer" function for any form you're submitting.

And did they have to stop allowing written signatures because of AI scraping? Or is it just because they never looked legible at all?

I was watching a video that featured a Negimaru 120 and it has a really interesting drive(?). It's a vegetable slicer

Here's a video, a review maybe? It's in Japanese but that's not necessarily important.. here's two timestamped links. The first one shows being able to plug into different gears to adjust the thickness of the cut. The second one has a great closeup of it working

Using auto translate, it came up with "joint wire" that led me nowhere. I know it's basically like a flexible drill extension, but what is that action actually technically called?

This is a polyester shirt from the Uniqlo airism range.

I like the shirt, but recently it got these spots on it? Is this from sweat?

This picture is after washing with lots of detergent.

Is there a way to get it out?

It seems to disappear after a while, but comes back after washing.
The shirt also smells ok, but after wearing it for a short while it starts smelling.

It doesn't even have to be that the message is bad or completely objective and propaganda fuelled, it could just be its often incredibly recited, copied and pasted or just a blatantly obvious good lesson that you are completely aware of.

Black people receive a lot of flack for publicly wearing bonnets, so I don't want to be insensitive. I have severe sensory issues and things like satin, silk, etc are the only safe materials for my head.

Edit: will wear something different. I am just doing my best to not be culturally insensitive. I will look for a different style of hats; this question is about appropriation.

How bad do we let things get? Should we wait until the planet can't sustain life anymore? Should we wait until it's 100 degrees F in the Artic? Until wildfires blanket entire continents or the last glacier is gone? Should we wait until fascist billionaires take even more from us? Until there are Flock cameras at every mail box? Maybe we should wait until the wells run dry or the tornadoes never stop. When is it going to be enough? I'm so tired of seeing things getting worse. Every. Single. Day. I'm ready. I've been ready. How about you?

How do we coordinate? How do we look after each other? What is the signal? If we don't work together then we are just continuing our slow march to destruction to the drum of the parasitic billionaires. Please, for us, for the cats, the dogs, the birds and trees. The fish and the whales, the beatles and the centipedes. Please tell me it's worth it to you, that you're willing to get uncomfortable, that you're willing to fight. There are more of us than them, and we are rapidly running out of time to make that mean something.

basically, new to this site and have a few questions but i can't find a subreddit to specifically ask questions about lemmy on.

All languages I know of have four basic directions: left, right, backwards and forwards. Are there any that don't?

Maybe you could have just three: forwards, backwards-left and backwards-rigth? Or more then four, maybe with distinct names for some or all of the four in-between the common ones

My intrusive thoughts need to know.

It's common to receive a mail from some service that they're changing the terms and conditions of their service (internet provider, gmail, etc.) These changes are unilateral and can be about anything, from their privacy policy to the money they intend to charge me.

Why can't I unilaterally send them a mail and say, I am changing the terms of my patronage and will now insert my new policy (pay only xx amount, or demand a mint Chico chip ice cream every Tuesday)?

I think about this but like, I’m not sure if it’s a stupid question so I’ll put it here.
