Brazil supreme court unfreezes assets of Elon Musk's Starlink, X after taking fines
  • All ISPs were required to block Twitter/X. Starlink was the only one that didn't. They didn't charge SpaceX because it belonged to Musk but because they violated the court order.

    Texas SCOPE act takes effect Sunday. How does Lemmy comply?
  • If you own an instance it's better to check with a lawyer. They might give you a warning first or they might go after you immediately. How effective that is depends on what country you live in and which country the server is in.

    What's an impulse purchase you've made and it turned out to be awesome?
  • On the flip side I sold my house in December of 2019. Then decided to rent for a year to figure out where to buy next. Didn't pay close enough attention to the market before it was too late. I still stay up at night sometimes thinking of how bad that went.

    Whats your take? Creepy or not?
  • It can be difficult and uncomfortable to tell someone you don't like them. For women, it can also be dangerous because some men get very aggressive when they're turned down. You don't know her experiences and why she chose to make those statements. I don't think what she did was wrong.

    I've been in similar shoes. It's really hard to notice the cues. Neurotypical people also don't understand how we think. Since they don't know what to expect they get scared. They don't know what other boundaries we're not aware of.

    Just a DIY USB keyboard, but I made Timex Sinclair themed keycaps for it on my laser.
  • I would be very careful with laser etching plastic unless you know exactly what the material is and if you have a really good venting system in place. The fumes from some plastic can be very toxic and once you have symptoms it's already too late to reverse/heal the damage.

    A chart showing the handful of companies which own the majority of american news outlets
  • I'm surprised YouTube and Google News are listed as news outlets. They don't create news content, they aggregate it. Arguments can be made about biasing which content is shown first, but not about the content itself, which is owned by the other entities on the list

  • I'm looking for something that goes through building a jetpack compose app with storage.

    I find linking the UI state with data updates really confusing. I can get it to show up, but updates are inconsistent/jumpy.

    I've been working on a project where the source of truth for the data is actually coming over a Bluetooth connection, and my code feels like a mess. I want to see what good code looks like from scratch so I see what parts of my code are salvageable.

    programming.dev Neat trick for desoldering many-pin components - programming.dev

    I just came across this and thought I’d share. I’ve struggled to get headers and IC’s off boards after soldering them on backwards/upside down. This video shows a cool trick with a piece of copper wire that makes them very easy and quick to get off without expensive tooling. I was thoroughly impress...
