Public Money, Public Code. All governments should only be using FOSS software.

Surprised this isn't mentioned more because it's one of the only true alternatives for all the google feature-set.

I am a time traveller and I was trying to throw you off my trail but I seem to have failed.

What's a movie that you were probably "too young" to see, when you first watched it, but you're glad you did? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Trainspotting. I do feel like it kept me away from drugs though.

Trump counterbalance keeping it in check but my gut is saying once tariffs come in February there's going to be a market correction. Pure speculation on my part.

You're describing the internet though. If two people meet in a public space and conspire to commit a crime, the public space isn't fined. In the same way that if two people on Lemmy meet and then conspire to commit a crime, the space shouldn't be fined. If OTOH the platform owner was made aware and didn't take action, then yes that would be aiding a crime.

Does anyone else expect WW3 within the next 1-2 years? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I think it il depend on the military industrial complex in the USA and whether they decide to off Trump or not. If Trump goes isolationist then they'll probably merc him. If he invades Panama and starts a hot war with Iran then there probably won't be a world war (ironically). If China invades Taiwan and the US blinks then there won't be a world war. If the US attacks China for taking over Taiwan then we'll be in a world war.

Chinese app RedNote gains millions of US users this week as 'TikTok refugees' joined ahead of ban — Reuters in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
[–] Hexadecimalkink@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

You're using an ad hominem fallacy by saying the messenger is the problem and not refuting the evidence itself.

The USA is banning tiktok because it can't control the platforms messaging in case misinformation is being spread in the USA. Why is it that China can't also control the spread of this misinformation? Feels like you might be a chauvanist 🤷‍♂️

There's a lot of evidence out there from American journalists that the Chinese are in fact, not forcing sterilization on the Uighur population or putting them in concentration camps. https://medium.com/@braisedporkblog/debunking-the-uyghur-genocide-a-resource-list-a31dd0ea3d87

HVAC creating a slight metallic smell every time it starts up (lemmy.ml)
 

The best way I can describe it is when you have an oven on clean mode, that you start smelling that metallic kind of smell.

The watchmen came and put new filters on the HVAC unit, but I still get a wiff of it for the first 20-30 seconds of the unit starting up, and then it doesn't smell anymore. I'm wondering if whatever that smell is, is unhealthy, and what it could be?

Would getting a higher MERV filter help or is it likely something wrong with the unit?

Donald Trump will “never” support Putin, says Volodymyr Zelensky (www.economist.com)
 

"There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”."

You're lying down, trying to sleep. Some part of your body is itchy, scratching will wake you up, not scratching will remain itchy. Do you scratch or wait for the itch to go away? (lemmy.ml)
 

I have this issue often. I know if I scratch, it will wake me up and take longer to sleep because of my body movement. If I don't scratch, my mind only focuses on the itch. Sometimes I'll wait 5 minutes for the scratch to go away and then I just cave and start scratching any minor itch I have on my body. Has anyone just not moved and let the itch subside or does everyone scratch?

How hard would it be to implement an emoji reaction system (like Telegram) instead of Up or Downvotes? (lemmy.ml)
 

I recently read a funny comment and wanted to give it the 😂 reaction like I would on a Telegram post, but upvoted instead. Reddit had upvoting downvoting but wondering if Lemmy, being an open source innovative software, should evolve past the upvote downvote and allow for a wide range of emoji reactions to a post.

CIA Leaking Like a Sieve As It Blames Ukraine for Impending Debacle - A Son of the New American Revolution (sonar21.com)
 

Interesting if the CIA are prepping for an excuse to exonerate themselves from any messups in strategy they have the Ukranians; blame the people who followed our instructions for not following them well enough.

Interesting take if the CIA are laying the groundwork to exonerate themselves from a possible impending failure.

Does anyone in Malaysia talk about the film "Entrapment"? (lemmy.ml)
 

This movie came out in 1998 - there's a very famous scene where they're planning a heist at the Petronas towers. I've visited Malaysia and I still think about that movie.

Do people in Malaysia have common knowledge about that film at all, or is it like a meh reference.

For context, there's a film called Canadian Bacon that most Canadians over a certain age are aware of.
