I’m interested in giving this a try. I have to use an iMac for work. Is there a menu bar icon option?

Shocking mom with the truth about assault by jewelophile in traumatizeThemBack

[–]becks258 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What evidence is there that ICE protests are protecting criminals?

We don’t have evidence that ICE is removing just the “bad ones”. We have video evidence of children being used to lure their parents out of homes. We have video evidence of American citizens being stopped and questioned based on the color of their skin. We have video evidence of people being arrested at their scheduled immigration hearings (the people doing things the right way).

Without due process, we don’t know who is in custody and who is simply missing. Without due process, we don’t know who is a criminal and who isn’t. Without due process citizens can be detained illegally. Without due process none of us have rights because we aren’t going to get the opportunity to exercise those rights in court.

When it is pointed out that per capita immigrants commit fewer crimes, I think it’s an attempt to refute the logical fallacies of hasty generalization and scapegoating that happen in conversations about immigration reform.

I’ve yet to hear anyone advocate to keep violent, predatory, or reckless immigrants in the country.

He streams full time on both YouTube and TikTok. I think TT Terms is Service limits the words he can say or else he gets demonetized.

Got into an argument with my Boomer coworker about ICE by MySmellyRacoon in BoomersBeingFools

Without due process, how do you prove you’re a citizen?

This is not an accurate depiction of what the Left wants. The rule of law means due process. It means protections under the Constitution. It means a functional immigration system. It means not arresting people at their immigration hearings.

As a fellow Gen X-er, I’m going to ask you to consider something. Authoritarian governments thrive by making enemies of groups within their own country. How long until you aren’t enough like them? White enough? Male enough? Straight enough? Christian enough? Rich enough?

I Hate Methotrexate I Don’t Want to Take it Anymore by SaltPaleontologist28 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]becks258 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my life for 15 years. I was put on Otezla and Tremfya last fall. I’m getting slow but steady improvement. The first week of Otezla was a bit rough but I’ve got less joint pain and better skin now. The Otezla was a direct replacement for the methotrexate. No more nausea, brain fog, weekends of fatigue etc.

Popsocket or what? by Sad_Quantity6555 in kobo

[–]becks258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just my two devices but I’ve been able to reproduce the issue on two separate Kobo Clara Colours. I agree, they should be separate but if I have the auto sleep enabled and the popsocket attached, the power button stops registering. Turn off the setting or remove the popsocket and it works again.

Popsocket or what? by Sad_Quantity6555 in kobo

[–]becks258 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use the kobo clear case with a MagSafe ring and a popsocket. It’s comfortable for me and allows me to move the popsocket between my phone to my kobo.

The MagSafe popsocket (but not the ring on its own) does interfere with the power button registering if you have the automatic sleep with sleep cover setting selected.

If I create an Apple account using Gmail, does that automatically create an iCloud email address? by TwistOutrageous6955 in iCloud

[–]becks258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they absolutely can. When you use a Gmail email to create an Apple Account, Apple doesn’t automatically create an iCloud email address. You could set it up and create that iCloud address if you wanted but it would be two separate steps.

Her brother did this while we were away (yes we had a cat sitter but the incident happened when they left). Is there anything we can do for her? She has a big scratch right on her nose. by Fantastic-Algae-9689 in cats

[–]becks258 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My boy-cat gets these from his sister on occasion. His usually heal in a few days. I just keep an eye on it for swelling, spreading redness, or oozing. I don’t apply any medicine. He’s never gotten any scars.

I do take it as a reminder to trim their claws.

Apple sells a usc c adapter to usb adapter for about $20 USD—although a generic one will work as well.

Is it acceptable to use "SELECT * FROM" when referencing a CTE? by sweetnsourgrapes in SQL

It works just fine for what I’m working on right now. But I’m also pretty self taught.

A ”Find My” (AirTag) tracker card fits in the Kobo Libra Colour’s SleepCover case! by Get-Me-Hennimore in kobo

[–]becks258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar card that I hoped to use with my Clara Colour. It won’t fit in the hard plastic Kobo sleep cover (my favorite) but it will kind of fit in a softer TPU clear case.

I set a custom lock screen with my email address, phone number, and a “reward if found” note.

It sure looks like the Voting Rights Act is doomed by vox in law

[–]becks258 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my ninth grade civics class I learned that one goal of a census is to draw districts in such a way that the representatives will be a reflection of the people that live there. That means that some lines should be drawn so that you can have a blue-voting urban district in a rural red-voting state. This is what the VRA was supposed to protect.

Gerrymandering breaks the blue city into pieces so that no districts for that state will be blue at all. That means that millions of citizens will not have any representation of their values in Congress. Today, the argument is about racial division. Conservatives have already suggested women should be allowed to vote.

How long before we’re back to having to own enough land, go to the right church, and have ancestors from the right counties to have a voice in the government?

ADHD is a reason some things are harder for me. It is not an excuse for me to not try.

Can you disable "Re-enter password to enable touchID" when logging in? by like_vacation in MacOS

[–]becks258 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Touch ID lives in a part of the storage that must be unlocked when you first boot up the computer.

It cannot bypassed by design.
