short shorts are better

Can confirm, am male and have eyes. 😆

Lol.

I guess I could also slash the tires of the Amazon delivery truck when it drops off packages at my neighbor’s house. Then again, I’d prefer to not go to jail.

It’s a browser for Android based on Firefox with some privacy-related settings enabled.

Ew…

I don’t have many issues, but my memory can sometimes suck, so I would also like something like this.

But not from Meta. I need to be 100% in control of the data before I’d ever feel comfortable wearing them in public.

Eh, they probably just have a feed and post a bunch all at once. I’ve seen other posters do something similar. Creating 10-15 lemmy posts/day isn’t particularly hard if you’re literally just copy/pasting links from an RSS feed.

And it’s a school of thought I happen to agree with. :) But OP specifically called out homelab vs VPS.

I use a VPS and generate static sites using Hugo. Works fine.

I could host it in my network, but I don’t see a point, and I’d really rather not have a power outage or loss of internet break my site (much more likely at home than at a datacenter). I host pretty much everything else within my network though.

What’s with that crazy price jump from $23/year to $18/month? Doubling RAM and cores increases prices by 9x? 2GB RAM and 2 cores is $5-6 at Hetzner, no idea how they think $18/month for 1GB RAM and 2 cores is competitive in any way, that’s a bit of a dark pattern IMO…

I switched from Vultr to Hetzner, mostly because I was annoyed at the screen-blocking prompt to accept the new EULA (included forced arbitration). Hetzner still has the forced arbitration, but the prices are good and I haven’t found anything to be especially annoyed at.

Yup, I had it for a bit when we used Prime, but the experience sucked so I naturally just didn’t use it. Then I realized I’m only using shipping and Twitch subs, and that certainly wasn’t worth the cost, so I cancelled.

Screw 'em.

Hmm, unfortunately I can’t go negative.

Driving isn’t a job we should be protecting IMO. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying self-driving cars are necessarily the answer either, just that if I had to choose, I’d pick self-driving cars every time over human drivers, provided they’re on well-defined routes with ample testing (like in a city).

We should be solving personal transportation another way, such as:

• mass transit
• segregated bicycle/pedestrian paths
• higher density so popular destinations are closer together

And even if they come immediately (big doubt), it could be several minutes, just due to traffic. If doing that pisses off these men, it could put her into more danger than doing nothing.

Nah, California sucks, there’s way too much traffic, and too many NIMBYs to solve the traffic problems.

Weather is nice, but that’s not enough to get me to move there. I have family there, so I visit fairly often, but I honestly don’t really enjoy being there. They have some gorgeous national parks though, so it’s worth a visit for that.

Sure, but that doesn’t necessarily present a danger to you, and if it’s clear that she’s shooting as self-defense (and I think two young men accosting an elderly woman while physically preventing the car from moving qualifies), there’s no reason for you to feel threatened.

If we put it in a non-gun context, let’s say grandma pulls out a knife to defend herself from these men, and then someone sees that and immediately pulls a knife of their own and engages. Why would you do that? It’s incredibly unlikely that grandma is going on a killing spree or anything, she just wants to defend herself from these aggressive individuals.

anyone else simply watching the scene from a distance feeling even slightly any emotion is justified to shoot her to death as a form of self defense

That really depends on your area and what witnesses exist to corroborate your testimony. You can’t just “say” you felt endangered just because a gun was drawn, it needs to pass the “reasonable person” standard (i.e. would a theoretical “reasonable person” feel threatened in this scenario?). I’m guessing an elderly woman pointing a firearm at an individual who is clearly harassing her doesn’t present a danger to a reasonable person who isn’t in the line of fire.

That said, if the elderly woman appears jumpy or something, maybe there’s a case. But it’s not an open-and-shut case like shooting someone who is taking hostages or something.

Did they stutter?

This is the internet, let’s be real here, nobody expects anyone to like them.

Huh, sounds like their legal department was from Europe?
