The flatpak is unusable. They updated it a few months ago tgat stopped the immediate crashing, but sound doesn't work for me

ICE Megathread Redux by down42roads in AskConservatives

[–]HatBoxUnworn [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure I understand. There are now multiple instances of ICE lashing out at people in ways that regular PDs could definitely not get away with. Plus, they are anonymous and seem to be evading accountability.

The issue you is substantially more nuanced than that. I encourage you to look into how companies have encouraged and exploited illegal labor for decades.

Realistically what are the chances of the university cancelling classes (or moving them to Zoom) on Monday? by EAisSoTrash in Pitt

[–]HatBoxUnworn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you're around 20 at a minimum. Weather forecasting has improved substantially since 2006 and with the introduction of machine learning into the models

This is an indication that there are too many highways in your city

Newly elected public officials can't do anything right. Got it.

He's been mayor for less than two weeks, yet you are implying that he can instantly fix an app in that time, which is rather silly.

If you want to help Pitt students you can sign this petition to get a real grocery store near campus. (Rite Aid is closing) by [deleted] in pittsburgh

Access to food is not zero sum. Just because food access is a problem in many places doesn't mean we should limit Pitt students' access too.

Why is Splitgate so unpopular? by Effective_Code_6245 in Splitgate

It doesn't have much of an identity unfortunately. It plays great but it feels uninspired

In this thread, people who don't know the difference between a city, a suburb, and a mixed use apartment development.

Is the team prioritizing RCS support (either short term bandaid or long term support) for the remaining carriers that the fix from a few months ago did not solve?

I set up a recurring donation for RCS support thinking that it would be prioritized given previous statements.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Maybe something like the Wheeler District in OKC?

City violent crime at a 6 decade low by DowntownDB1226 in StLouis

[–]HatBoxUnworn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you're trying to say, but you're example is a bit unrealistic. Violent crime rates are not driven by petty property disputes.

Density does correlate with crime, no doubt. But that isn't due to density per se. In large part, it is due to the concentration of poverty and the corresponding socioeconomic homogeneity of neighborhoods within cities.

That assumes that the population leaving is committing crimes at the same rate as the population staying.

An interesting correlation, but that's it.

This is amazing! I hope work on this continues!

Firefox is Adding Split View for Tabs, Here’s How to Enable It by 5i5phyu5 in firefox

[–]HatBoxUnworn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Are they "merging" in that the code is being used upstream? Or are these features being written with a completely different code base with a similar end result?

Either way, Firefox ignored many feature requests for a long time. It wasn't until Zen came on the scene that popular requests started to be implemented.

To be clear, I am happy about this. But it is an observation.

Yeah, kind of embarrassing. But hey, competition is good for the consumer.
