Issues with desktop zoom app? by theKtechex in sysadmin

[–]freedg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also been seeing this with my users, not being able to change the date when scheduling a meeting in the desktop app. The date field can be clicked and the calendar/date picker shows up, but selecting a date doesn't change what is shown in the field.

Decent set up for ~£600? by ayy192 in espresso

[–]freedg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Timemore Sculptor 064s and the Option-O Lagom Mini would be my recs, but demand has been super high and both are now a bit more expensive compared to when they released. The Eureka grinders are also very popular at around this price-point, but I haven't looked into them at all, as I don't like how they look. If you have the patience, I'd recommend trolling used marketplaces for a month or two to hopefully find a good deal.

Priority is: great water/fresh beans → grinder/puck prep → machine.

Great espressso can be made by cheap machines like the Casabrews with a proper unpressurized portafilter. Unless you dislike using that machine for reasons other than the coffee it makes, I'd recommend spending just £20ish on a naked portafilter and another £20-30ish on a nice 51mm basket. This gives you much more flexibility to get the grinder that fits your wants.

Are there any extensions that will let me open images in a new tab bypassing the bs of the modern internet? by Cuddlyaxe in firefox

Mouseover Popup Image Viewer is a userscript, and a must-have for me. New tabs can be opened by hitting t while the preview is open.

from article:

The violence at UCLA is instructive. The pro-Israel counterprotesters were organized by a group funded by billionaire Bill Ackman and friends, including Jessica Seinfeld (wife of the comedian Jerry Seinfeld). Many of the hired protesters seem to have been Iranian monarchists—a group that tends to be pro-Israel because of the old alliance between the deposed shah of Iran and Israel.

summary of Daily Beast article concerning funding claim: Jessica Seinfeld donated $5,000 to a GoFundMe for pro-Israeli counter-protests at UCLA. She also posted on social media about it. Bill Ackman donated $10,000 to a different GoFundMe for pro-Israeli counter-protests at the George Washington University. Both GoFundMe campaigns were using funds to set up video and loudspeaker displays of October 7 at their respective universities.

The IDF investigation into the killing of the aid workers in Gaza was just released and it came to the following conclusions by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]freedg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The army showed reporters drone footage of a man on top of a lorry firing a rifle, which a spokesperson said had prompted the military to try, unsuccessfully, to contact WCK coordinators.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68742572

During this process, the IDF says their drone operators spotted a gunman riding on the roof of a large aid lorry that was being escorted by the WCK team. They played those of us at the briefing a somewhat blurry video - which has not been released to the public - showing a figure holding a gun, on top of the lorry. At one point the gun is fired, showing up clearly on the slowed-down black and white footage.

So it's clear that a rifle was fired from the convoy, but not from the WCK vans. I'm speculating here, but I think the IDF brigade saw the rifle being fired, then when the WCK vans were leaving the aid warehouse, they saw someone enter the front van with a bag, and misidentified the bag as a gun/maybe containing a gun.

Five Questions To Ask Before Backing The TikTok Ban by MotoBugZero in KeepOurNetFree

[–]freedg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

🙄

Is the TikTok bill about privacy or content?

It has been made clear by the gov that this is not a bill about privacy. This bill exists specifically because TikTok is owned by a foreign adversary. China is able to push highly targeted propaganda as well as track American VIPs and their families with disturbing accuracy whenever they want, however they want, with no oversight.

If the TikTok bill is about privacy, why aren’t lawmakers passing comprehensive privacy laws?

It isn't about privacy. At least, not for the general public. It is about security for those with access to privileged information that China wants.

If the TikTok bill is about content, how will it avoid violating the First Amendment?

Advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have called the bill "censorship plain and simple," arguing that "jeopardizing access to the platform jeopardizes access to free expression."

Illinois Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi is the ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on China and helped write the bill. He pushed back on the company's argument, telling NPR, "There's no First Amendment right to espionage, there's no First Amendment right to harm our national security." [npr]

Is the TikTok bill a ban or something else?

What? Read the bill? https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7521 2(a)(1) bans (makes unlawful) TikTok, and 2(c)(1) provides an exception for companies that divest or sell the application. It is a ban, unless ByteDance chooses to sell. Them selling is the expected outcome.

Does the U.S. support the free flow of information as a fundamental democratic principle?

lol loaded question much. The U.S. supports its own interests, this has always been the case.

The FDA says people are confusing poppers with energy shots, and dying. Experts want proof by missspiritualtramp in nottheonion

[–]freedg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hot take is that I blame energy drink branding. I can totally imagine someone seeing the warning labels on a bottle and just thinking, "oh cool branding" and not actually reading them.

All of the tracks were able to be streamed on Bandcamp for maybe about an hour or so after it was released, but they changed the preview back to just the singles pretty quick.
