The number of contestants that don’t start with the most common letters is surprisingly high.

politics @lemmy.world•The question Joe Biden keeps asking: ‘You think we can actually come back from this?’English
79·2 天前Single issue voters are one of the biggest problems with US politics. They’re willing to ignore everything else about reality. Doesn’t matter if it’s Genocide, LGBTQ issues, or Abortion, it’s the same outcome.
The worst option overall becomes the most likely.

Technology@lemmy.world•iPhone and iPad approved to handle classified NATO informationEnglish
333·3 天前That we know of. Apple doesn’t exactly have a clean track record of avoiding double speak.

Games@lemmy.world•New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxesEnglish
51·3 天前Don’t know. That’s not my specialty.
But it’s definitely not by compromising everyone’s privacy and forcing them to identify themselves because the government wants to be able to identify everyone everywhere at all times and uaing children as the excuse like they always do.

Games@lemmy.world•New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxesEnglish
351·3 天前At the expense of everyone’s privacy even if you don’t participate in the loot box economy, because you know the laws won’t be written for only if you access them it’ll be a blanket requirement. That’s not the way to get rid of loot boxes.

politics @lemmy.world•Judge Vows to End Trump Administration’s Noncompliance ‘One Way or Another’English
23·3 天前Even if they wanted to, they rely on Executive branch enforcement.
The US Marshalls need to be moved under the authority of the Judicial branch.
It also has the AI watermark in the bottom right corner. This one doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to pinpoint.

News@lemmy.world•Bill Gates Admits to Affairs with 2 Russian Women While Married to Melinda and Apologizes to Staff for Past Epstein TiesEnglish
22·4 天前We don’t have information either way for every situation, and there’s a lot of the system we don’t have any info about.
Jizzy Lane was obviously part of this entire thing willingly, and there were plenty of staff seemingly not related to the illegality, some of whom reported it and others may not have had any idea.
Epstein had direct intelligence connections with both Israel and Russia according to various released documents. There are almost certainly women related to those intelligence services involved in all of this at some point.
Not everything related to Epstein is as simple as the armchair warriors online want to make it out to be.

politics @lemmy.world•Hillary Clinton to appear for high-profile deposition in US House Epstein probeEnglish
11·4 天前IRC didn’t they refuse the subpoenas originally because it was closed door? They wanted it to be open.
Or am I misremembering that? Hard to remember all this shit nowadays, as designed.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your AddressEnglish
6·4 天前It makes sense if they don’t care. It works well enough for their marketplace and that’s as far as they decided to go with it. Amazon isn’t exactly known for accountability.

News@lemmy.world•Bill Gates Admits to Affairs with 2 Russian Women While Married to Melinda and Apologizes to Staff for Past Epstein TiesEnglish
43·4 天前Their point probably is that Epstein had his hands in a lot more than just procuring underage girls. Not everyone was under 18, so the term “victim” is a lot more complicated when talking about legal adults consenting to things.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your AddressEnglish
12·4 天前Amazon handles fulfillment for tens or thousands of third party sellers.
Unless the item you’re buying says “sold by Amazon” under the Buy buttons, it’s coming from a third party. Prime shipping only means it is coming from the Amazon warehouse, not that Amazon is selling it.
It’s been a major issue for years for commonly counterfeited brands, because apparently Amazon’s warehouses don’t differentiate and all those items are dumped in the same bins, so real products get mixed with fakes and third party sellers get hit with returns, reviews, and even bans for fake products. Apparently Amazon puts the same generic item barcode on all of the items, and once they’re mixed into in the bins they no longer can track individual products back to the original seller.

News@lemmy.world•Astronaut evacuated from International Space Station pays tribute to 'incredible teammates'English
7·4 天前I feel like if it were something related to the flight/mission they would probably be talking about it. Most likely this is something unexpected (pre-mission medical screening won’t allow anyone with risks to fly, there are always backup crew prepared for every launch) and probably completely unrelated to spaceflight, just bad timing.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMsEnglish
41·4 天前Quintessential “works for me” response. Must be a software developer.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMsEnglish
4·4 天前Well you clearly haven’t used the standard available download (non-beta/nightly release) consistently through last year. Waterfox was using ESR 128 since October 2024, kept that base until finally upgrading to ESR 140 last August. So that’s nearly a year of its base being out of date. So the user agent reported that number… sites really don’t like that since they’re looking at that for support.
https://www.waterfox.com/releases/6.5.0/ https://www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6.0/
Twitch only supports the last TWO versions of Firefox officially and will actively block logging in from older versions. So while you might be able to watch Twitch, if you aren’t already logged in, you won’t be able to login.

There are thousands of posts about it online for Waterfox other forks.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMsEnglish
8·4 天前Last time I tried Waterfox some sites like Twitch that actively block usage on old browsers, refused to work because the latest Waterfox release was based on a Firefox like 20+ builds behind.
Firefox was on like version 142 and the latest Waterfox download was based on build 128.

News@lemmy.world•Ex-ICE instructor testifies that agency slashed officer training, lied to CongressEnglish
19·5 天前Those weren’t a training issue, they are a fascism issue. ICE has always attracted fascists, it hits all their dopamine receptors and pays them to do it.
The training issues are all these officers accidentally leaving weapons in restrooms and a discharging their firearms into neighboring hotel room beds.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 yearsEnglish
12·5 天前Not many, but I don’t buy a lot of $25 products in this day and age. Sometimes electronics fail early, that’s why there’s a warranty. I also don’t go complaining about something when it would have been replaced by warranty either.
The fact they warrant the devices through their entire expected lifespan instead of only a year is notable.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 yearsEnglish
181·6 天前You know those have a 10 year warranty right? Including the specific model you linked.

This, it isn’t a magic drug that permanently changes you.
If you don’t change your underlying lifestyle then things will go back to how they were.
This is obvious to anyone that bothers to think about it for even a second.
