I found it really odd that the legislature are able to gerrymander in the first place. Why isn't this process in control of an independent board? Some of the gerrymandered district maps are laughably corrupt.

This must have been an easy one as I normally can't work it out.

I expect actually it will have a profound effect on the number of people smoking. I remember when they banned smoking in public places, smoking declined rapidly since then.

Kids have been bypassing restrictions and purchasing cigarettes for years but the general decline is still happening.

Does that mean you could guess a person's personality from just their look?

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 10 points 4 days ago

Probably assumed it wasn't America because they didn't kill the kid.

Why would you sit on a urinal, that's odd

Why is it called "far-right" and then "radical left"

Every morning I grab a coffee and either sit outside with the fluffy butts or I bring one inside and read Lemmy with them on my lap. Best start to the day.

Typing this from my phone as I'm out cruising on the bike :) it's gonna rain soon so planning to do some updates when I get home later today.

I'll upgrade to latest Lemmy, I think we are 2 versions behind.

I'll also relax the image dimensions and movie size restrictions for the image proxy which I've noticed have prevented some image posts from working.

I don't know exactly what time it'll be but sometime shortly after 1300 UK

Update 2025-09-14 10:01: Real-life got in the way of the update yesterday. Updates have now been applied and we are now on 0.9.13. Also updated frontends and added blorp at https://b.lazysoci.al/ (thanks @nord@lazysoci.al)

Update 2025-09-14 10:29: Removed additional restrictions on dimensions of video uploads for the image proxy, this has resolved at least one example of the "too wide" error received for some images. It is now using the defaults, will see if there are any other examples and adjust if needed.

Does anyone else use a flowerpot?

What temperature do you use? What glass would you recommend?

This is the device: https://www.cannabishardware.com/collections/flowerpot-vaporizer

No I'm not affiliated. Weed is new to me and want to explore how best to use this.

I just wanted to tell you how great you all are.

I moved to Lemmy shortly before the mass exodus from Reddit in 2023. I eventually created an instance of my own and to begin with, leaving Reddit felt like a mistake.

I could browse Lemmy's equivalent of /r/all top-last-24-hours in about 15 minutes, so my doom-scroll time plummeted. I was better for it. However, I still yearned for the meme laughs and thought provoking comment threads of Reddit. Lemmy had them, but they were much fewer.

Fast forward to today. My instance is hosting a popular up and coming community, of which I'm honoured, even if I'm not welcome. The top-24-hour of all posts is now more than enough to satisfy my needs. I laugh at memes, I get to share posts I found on Lemmy with friends and family, I'm exposed to more cultures than just American which is a real refreshing change.

It isn't mainstream, and I think its better for it. It has its own culture, and we are beginning to get all meta with Lemmy in-jokes which I think is both annoying and awesome at the same time (ie. Hussain memes).

Overall, I am just really happy for Lemmy and am glad to be sharing it with all of you. May the good times continue.

The shield is a great device, but I'm starting to notice some considerable lag at times.

Before I factory reset it, is there a good alternative?

I have an older Apple TV I'm going to try but I'd prefer to stay Android.

Features I'd want are

  • Android TV
  • Netflix and Jellyfin support
  • Powerful / fast
  • Similar codec support, however only for compatibility. I'm not needing HDR or Atmos etc. Some of my family are deaf so we watch with subtitles and have a simple speaker setup.

I love this guy with every fibre of my being. He is 14yr old and starting to show his age. He has had a great life but I get all teary knowing that I'll out live him.

They are starting to rip out the cables used in car chargers. It's only 2m long, costs £300 to replace and the thief strips out £4 worth of copper.

The US minimum wage hasn't changed in TEN YEARS?! You guys need to revolt, that is awful.

My daughter is 18 and doesn't need to shower every day. She has no discernable body odour that I know of and she hardly sweats.

I'll be smelly by 4pm having had a shower at 7am. Deodorant can only do so much. I work from home at a desk.

Everyone is different.

Who is buying the phones? The parents. So the parents buy their children a phone and then surprised Pikachu?

Ext4 being "old" shouldn't put you off. It is demonstratively robust with a clear history of structure integrity. It has immense popularity and a good set of recovery tools and documentation. These are exactly what you are looking for in a filesystem.

I'm not saying EXT4 is the best for your requirements, just that age of a file system is like fine wine.
