Our laws aren’t amazing, I’ll grant them that an annoying amount of them are for show only, but those kinds of guys don’t actually know what the law is here, they just assume shit because we’re a liberal state that is known to have gun laws

I’ve unironically seen people that are into guns at that same level claim you cant buy an AR-15 here and meant it, which is patently ridiculous

Cookies and fingerprinting, yes

Tell me you don’t live here (or know someone who does) without directly saying it

I’ve seen mounted MGs in the mountains, my guy, you don’t know what’s actually here and in the hands of some CRAZY leftists. I know 2 different people who have offered me very illegal arms should shit ever hit the fan, one of them owns a functional truck they just need to slide a tripod into the back into some homemade brackets and they can have a mounted MG truck in like 10m

Fuck, I’ve seen an actual RPG get shot (that was wild)

There is no such process.

There is, it worked once and failed once in our history

Step 1: Declare independence from the other government

Step 2: don’t lose the war

Step 2 is the hard part, admittedly

Its really unlikely mostly because we’d have to go authoritarian as fuck to get the maga traitors out before they could seriously damage us from within

The Sierra Nevada make a great natural barrier on one side, then the big ass desert to the south, so getting large amounts of anything in once we cut ourselves off would actually be harder than youd think

If we successfully negotiated with Mexico, Canada, or someone to back our asses up we might be able to manage it just off the idea that bombing us to oblivion is a really bad idea for your supply of quite a few crops & your major entertainment for the country as well as the busy ass ports on our shores, and that’s before you consider how much the rest of the world would find such a move incredibly distasteful from a “holy shit what did you just do” aspect

All in all if ANY state can successfully pull it off, it’s California, but it’s not going to happen

Gotta prove there was evidence on the phone in the first place, which would take forensic work to do and be not worth the work in the majority of cases

Plus it would annoy them, and that’s the real goal here

If you haven’t done this and need the same ability IMMEDIATELY: reboot, or just shut down

Every first boot requires pin same as lockdown

Also: set a nonstandard finger in a weird way as your finger unlock if you wanna use that, then theyre likely to fail to get that to work should you not manage to lock it down beforehand

Finally: there are apps that let you use alternate codes/finger unlocks to wipe/encrypt/reboot the device instead, allowing you to pretend to cooperate with the cops up until they realize they got played

I warned my wife if her dad makes the mistake of showing his bitch ass face to me again he’s dead, she was smart enough to already know

Fucker already literally threatened my life twice before on top of all the other horrid shit he’s done, and now he knows hes not allowed near his favorite daughter or he’s pig food

Nah, i’ll use it for the games that refuse to enable anticheat, and I’ll use the LTSC version whether Microsoft likes it or not

Respecting terms of service is for chumps

Premiere Pro runs smoother on Linux than on Win7-10 ever did

After effects felt the same as PP

So far I haven’t run into any program wine/bottles can’t run. Closest I got was needing to install a second program through wine and run them through the same prefix which is not hard at all

best replacement for Excel

I’ve never met a google sheet that couldn’t do what excel did unless excel was being made to do shit it really isn’t ideal for

Yeah it’s another Corp, but you don’t have to pay and you can simultaneously edit the file on 80 devices at the same time if you want

What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all

In your opinion, maybe

I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never

Ok, that’s your own bad habit, guess you don’t need to participate since you won’t watch em

If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video

Tell that to broadcast news. The information provided in videos like this is basically never something original if it’s not entertainment, so you absolutely can find the information elsewhere

Still have yet to see any arguments as to how relevant content on a relevant link aggregator is in any way bad to people who don’t have a weird hate boner for specific media types, because there isn’t one 😉

I can’t afford cars that cost that much, but the principle is dound

If only there were some save for later button so you could come back later or something

Yeah, figured people would downvote me for pointing out that was a garbage response

Videos don’t degrade the quality of s link aggregator, you’re not required to immediately participate the moment you see it

in my opinion they don’t contribute to the quality here.

As respectfully as possible: huh?

We’re on a link aggregation site, for posting links to things off-site and discuss them in relevant communities

If something is a video or article it makes no difference on its quality or relevance to the community at hand, no?

On Google maps:

Press the little x to stop navigation. Press the play button again to resume from your current position

Proton is a better option unless the game needs Anti-Cheat, which most won’t work in a VM, anyway

Personally I dual boot Win10 LTSC with fake credentials and some privacy tweaks for games that need to be on windows

Ok, even I have a cringe reaction to that by default

Even then though I’ve only really seen people go “you should try mint instead, basically that but without the proprietary stuff”

Think I did see ONE guy weirdly assholish about it but haven’t seen em in a while

I see a lot of the “even once you pick a Linux distro you get yelled at for using the wrong one” and like I just haven’t seen that here?

Lemmy is by far the chilliest place of Linux users I’ve ever fucking seen. Even when I posted an issue on the Linux mint forum I got fucking told “well you used XFCE, there’s your issue” despite it being the better choice for that system

We absolutely will pressure people to try it, because we’re a cult. Meetings on Thursdays at 9PM for my local chapter

Almost like they asked about a specific site and not the concept of link aggregators or something
