    In first ever documented case, Talaria electric dirt bike goes up in flames in US
  • Talaria is its own separate company. Luna Cycle is a scum business. The owners of Luna Cycle are the moderators of Reddits ebike subreddit.

    They remove any poor service reviews from Lunacycle and actively harass people who post about issues with their orders. They have been caught creating sock-puppet accounts to comment pile and downvote negative threads.

    Purchase an e-bike from anywhere else but Lunacycle.

    One Wheel Completes Its Lineup With a New Pint: The S Is Faster, Stronger, Better
  • Tilt forward a little too much and the board is driven into the ground with a powered wheel behind it. So easy to crash. The design is inherently flawed and requires the user to maintain level balance at all times and on fairly stable and level ground.

    I’ve seen people take these off road without much issue and that’s awesome for them but if it’s my money, I want to buy and ride something that is more forgiving, especially when motorized. I say that as someone who regularly rides an electric mountain bike that goes 80 km/h.

  • Honestly all I want is to replace Laezels nipples with floppy peens. It’s all I ask for. It’s all I want. I love Baldurs Gate 3 but it’s missing this. I cannot hope to be satisfied fully in any other way. Im a reasonably happy guy with a reasonably good life but if someone was to make this I’d pay BIG money. I’m talking more than $5.

    Therapy Sessions Exposed by Mental Health Care Firm’s Unsecured Database
  • That’s perfect! Now marketing companies have way better data on the addiction market segment which is handy because there’s still enough time to tailor custom ads for their psychological profiles which will push them towards products and political positions if we slip them in their social media feeds for at minimum 3 weeks!

    People of lemmy, what was your “oh crap” moment?
  • I was in charge with creating, designing, configuring, and running an e-commerce site on Shopify as well as responding to customer emails and orders. This was for a start-up. First orders would get a promo code for a 15% discount on a next purchase.

    CEO tells me we need to get rid of stock fast as possible, so make a storewide discount on certain models. I go and do that.

    We receive a bulk order of 50 of the discounted units while also using the 15% off promo code we sent out to early purchasers. Realized I should have put in a rule that doesn’t allow discounts to stack…

    CEO and other members all unanimously voted to get rid of me a couple of hours later.

    Canada’s BRP Adds Two Electric Motorcycles To Can-Am’s Offerings
  • The real innovation here that makes these bikes cool is the drivetrain. It’s built into the swingarm area so both of these bikes have the exact same drivetrain but way different riding characteristics.

    Battery life is meh because you can’t really drive this thing to the trails unless you’re already close by. But the performance will knock the absolute wind out of a gas equivalent.

    Well, the big Harris-Walz interview was a bit evasive
  • I mean you can wax poetically about the virtues of voting your conscious and giving third parties your vote but the fact of the matter is the current system is set up to pick either red team or blue team and one of these teams no longer wishes or cares to play by the rules anymore and have a written out and well-funded plan to make this the last election of the country.

  • It’s okay to admit it, was just curious. Realistically the US political system IS a dichotomy. The only options that have a realistic chance of being elected are either Republicans or Democrats.

    don't have to charge
  • This reminds me of the time my mom broke her leg and was in the hospital and a social worker came in and asked her if she was eligible for Medicaid and then my dad got so offended that someone could think she’s “low income” that he forcibly had her transferred out to a private hospital.

  • It’s obvious and you would be deluded into thinking everyone you interact with likes you.

    But how do you feel it?

    Context: I’m a course instructor and I get direct reviews on my lessons and around 95% of feedback is positive to very positive.

    There’s less than 5% of my reviews that have real negative and non-constructive comments. Things like accusations of being incompetent or unprepared or full of shit, etc. They mention times I had technical difficulties or made a mistake (like giving an incorrect response)

    Just by the numbers alone this is a very small minority overall. Yet these comments stick in my head and make me doubt my abilities.

    So what are your strategies or ways you drown out this stuff?

    Sup penguin people.

    I’ve been running various flavours and variations of Ubuntu for a while. I find I have to nuke and reset my laptop every 6ish months because things eventually stop working or I get weird bugs.

    Recently I’ve been having this on and off problem where the computer just shows a black screen after turning it on. The only way to fix this is to tap keys repeatedly until a console shows up and it seems to kick the computer into gear and log in. Other times I have to restart 2-3 times before it logs me in.

    I’ve had a lot of small issues like that (like having to jiggle the volume knob in the sound mixer to get sound working) and I’m wondering if switching to an immutable distro (like bazzite) would solve this apparent config creep.

    I have a Steamdeck and it’s been solid and stable ever since I got it. I know it’s running an immutable distro and after researching a little bit it sounds like they can be more stable.

    I’m no power user but I play some steam games and run a local 7b LLM and like to have a virtual machine or two for Windows XP emulation for some retro gaming.

    Anyone have any opinions? What are your thoughts on immutable distros (like Bazzite)? Pros? Cons? Success/doom stories?

    Hi all!

    I have a laptop running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and I want to switch to KDE Plasma 6.

    How should I change over and why?

    Option 1: Install KDE Plasma 6 alongside GNOME

    Option 2: Backup and fresh install KDE Neon.

    Hi all!

    I’ve had Nextcloud installed on Docker and it has been working for a while until now.

    I had to change my server from wifi to Ethernet and gave it a new static IP. I also uninstalled docker and reinstalled it so I’d be starting fresh.

    I have Nextcloud working and when I go to localhost:8070, Nextcloud works properly. When I use another device connected to the same network by wifi, it doesn’t work.

    I made sure the config.php file has the server’s static IP address listed in the trusted domains category.

    This used to work before but now after hours of troubleshooting, I’m all out of ideas and frustrated 😩 Any help is appreciated.

    EDIT: My wife to stroll by and casually was all “did you check Windows Firewall?” and lo and behold, Windows Firewall chose today to block private connections on Docker Desktop backend -_-

    Once I enabled it everything worked perfectly. Leaving this up here in case someone else stumbles upon this exact issue.

    My wife and I have always wanted to have a dog and out of an interesting turn of events, we have the opportunity to adopt a 2 year old dog that a family friend cannot take care of anymore (they developed an illness that radically saps their energy).

    Super excited but a little worried about making sure the doggo is taken care of properly. We’ll have to drive him back in our car for 3h30 and we have an old overly-affectionate cat.

    What do people think? Any tips? Relevant stories? Give me your thoughts and have an awesome day!🙂

    I’m running KDE Wayland session on a Surface Pro 6 and the UI is much too small.

    I changed the UI scale in System Settings which works for all my apps except for the system text (panels, menus, Dolphin). The text in my system UI is super blurry.

    I’ve done a bit of research and it looks like Wayland may not support fractional scaling properly, but I’m finding conflicting info on this.

    At this time, is it possible to run a Wayland session in KDE with 150-200% UI scaling?

    Every month or so all my devices lose internet and the only way to connect them all back is to disconnect them from the DNS server that Pihole is running.

    I set my Pihole to have a static IP but for some reason after around a month or maybe longer, it just fails. This has happened 4 times over the last while and the only fix is to essentially uninstall everything on my Pihole, disable it, and then reconfigure it from scratch again.

    I’m not sure what’s going on so any help would be appreciated.
