    Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?
  • Please do not make this another 2016, and assume Kamila will win.

    The Russian bots are out in full force to pacify voters that "they have this in the bag". This is an indication that the only way we lose is by not voting. And the sentiment is changing, I see calls to vote less and less now, and comments assuming Kamila has already won more and more.

    It's not over till it's over.

    How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?
  • Incels at least is a natural consequence of the difference between society's expectations, the needs of an individual, and generally the lack of support and or direct toxicity towards men who need help and emotional support men require as humans.

    That one is a societal problem around isolating people away from affection.

    The rest I have no freaking clue how one becomes a Nazi in 2024.

  • You literally can't.

    There's a ton of stuff you can't do with the new garbage settings.

    Let's not even mention that on an operating system called "Windows" you can only have one "window" of settings open. And opening new settings will just replace where you just where. Which is extremely rage inducing.

    GitHub - timelinize/timelinize: Store your data from all your accounts and devices in a single cohesive timeline on your own computer
  • I very specifically want an app that collates all the information that can possibly be gathered about me in a way that I can utilize and abuse it myself. For me there is a lot of utility and value to be found with this sort of thing.

    Of course the security posture of said app needs to be rather robust. And instead of it being an app it should instead be an SDK that I can then choose and control my own storage medium for.

    Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results
  • I hope it happens one day, but that's an almost insurmountable task given the scale.

    Take the entirety of the fediverse, and it's entire history, and you're probably talking a days worth of search engine indexing compute & storage.

    The scale is large and the fediverse is incredibly small. Keeping my fingers crossed, but definitely not holding my breath.

    In the meantime, I'll use Kagi.

    Apparently, Catholic dating is all about money

    It just organically happened over many years. There is no distrust if we're on each other's phones, and we respect stated boundaries.

    What is the safest way for a partially disabled person in the USA to use prison for food and shelter as an alternative to dying homeless in a gutter on a cold rainy night?
  • They literally say in the title "use prison for food and shelter as opposed to dying homeless in a gutter".

    This states, in not unclear terms, that the context here is being disabled and so poor that food and shelter are inaccessible.

    Does everyone everywhere only ever use computers in an enclosed room? Is everyone with something value to exfiltrate easily accessible to kidnap and beat with a wrench?

    This is valuable for corporate espionage, political purposes, or for nation states. If miniaturized, even easier for targeted attacks where it might be difficult to inject malware, or for broad attacks on office workers.

    And the best part is that it doesn't leave a trace which beating someone with a wrench and malware would do....

  • I just messed my ankle up and am going to a conference in a couple days where I normally walk 15-25 miles/day for the next week.

    I've been advised to use a wheelchair instead of crutches. And will rent one when I get there.

    I get the feeling that I'm throwing myself into the fire here, having never used a wheelchair before, and likely spending a crazy amount of time in one moving around over the next week.

    I usually can't deal with sitting down for more than an hour or so before my back hurts, so I'm worried about that.

    What advice do you all have for me? What do I need to know? What pro-tips should I take for the next week?

    30

    In my 30's and only within the last few years have I been able to really introspect my life, and realize behaviors that I've "created" or "fake" in social interactions. I struggled a lot in middle/high school, and even through my 20's. I've essentially "found" myself to some degree in my 30's, but I'm actually not sure how much of it is me and how much of it is masking.

    I recognize the signs when I'm being fake in interactions that would benefit from being more genuine. It's automatic, and I've noticed others take notice when it's the wrong mask at the wrong time. Which just means I get better at it, which is nice and all, but it would be cool if it wasn't such an automatic reaction.

    So my question to all of you is how do you reduce masking behavior in situations or relationships where it may be beneficial or necessary to not do so?

    Awkwardly I guess you could answer this with "You get better at it with time", which is true of most things. However, I'm looking for some emotionally intelligent advice or anecdotes.

    Anyone else get anxiety when waiting for communication on anything soft-planned (or even hard planned for that matter)? Spiraling and all that.

    Especially if the person involved is late or didn't respond. Ofc the reaction is to check in, that's what I'd want someone else to do for me if I indicated I'd do something or message someone. However, that can be interpreted as being needy or clingy when really I just want to know the plan and not be left hanging.

    Life happens ofc, people gotta cancel plans, that's okay. But what really rubs things wrong is being left without information, that's when the anxiety shoots. Do you wait for them, or go do something else? If you go do something else, what happens when they're suddenly available? That's not respecting my time, so it's rude, but do you convey that?? What if you hinged your day on something, that just throws a big ass wrench in.

    Everyone is living their own lives, and things happen, preventing communication. It just feels like it's more common than it used to be, or more... Negligent?

    Gah.

    I guess /rant really.

    I have already seen an allergist, and was on ramp up. We had to move, and to my surprise none of the clinics here will administer allergy shots.

    There is a speciality clinic that will, but only if you are a patient of their allergist, they won't administer injections unless it came from them. There is a 3y wait-list for their allergist.

    This is terrible news. My seasonal allergies are debilitating, they are a disability. In the words of my allergist "You are allergic to the world".

    I could administer them at home, my spouse is an MA and knows how to do the subcutaneous shots. However, that's dangerous, and my allergist refuses to allow me to do this.

    The alternative would be to just walk into a clinic or ER, get the shots administered by my spouse in the lobby. Wait the 20-30 minutes to ensure no anaphylactic reaction, and go home. And do this till I've ramped. But I get the feeling this won't go over well....

    What sort of advice do you have for me on navigating this Lemmy? I was receiving treatment for this condition, and now I can't, which is essentially driving me into depression.

    This is great news, and a strong step forward.

    A big part of this are the limitations around part pairing. Which often prevents repairs as the parts on the device are paired to each other and do not allow you to swap them out.

    Recently this has become a problem even for EUVs like OneWheel. Who lock consumers out of repairing or modifying their devices.
