DesertDwellingWeirdo@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Oklahoma AG dismisses assault charge against officer who slammed 71-year-old man to the ground13·6 months agoIn no sane world would a civilian get off claiming self-defense for doing the same thing. AG is a depraved licker of boots and has given the green light for law enforcement to commit acts of violence like this against civilians in the future.
DesertDwellingWeirdo@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Meta envisages social media filled with AI-generated users [Financial Times]English5·6 months agoPoliticians and corporations will be able to pay and use these bots to influence users on policy and politics like they would with advertisements.

DesertDwellingWeirdo@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to ban drug ads on TV. It wouldn’t be easy - West Hawaii Today1·6 months agoI seem many bad things being said, and some hopeful things mixed in. I’m just waiting until it’s all said and done to assess the outcome.

Have you considered upgrading to GrapheneOS?
It’s the camera. A wider lens will help immensely, but you’ll need a dedicated camera for it. I never use my cellular camera for selfies.

Then again…

DesertDwellingWeirdo@lemmy.worldto KDE@lemmy.kde.social•Let's make Windows 10 the last version ever used!9·6 months agoSo many cheap laptops are about to hit the market, and I’m ready for it.
My gaming desktop is the last barrier to a full transition, but I’ve been buying exclusively games with a Linux release for over a year now. Buckshot Roulette, Deep Rock Galactic, Hearts of Iron, Lethal Company, Project Zomboid… There’s quite a few big ones.
I have a large ice chest and a heavily restricted diet due to medical issues and my food banks won’t give me fresh produce unless I show proof of residency (they want you to have a refrigerator). The little daily snack pack with oreos and soda they give you otherwise isn’t worth the trip.
