If you wrap silly putty around serious putty and detonate, does the silly putty act like shrapnel during the explosion? Or maybe it turns into a bunch of rubber ‘bullets’?

It deeply saddens me when people pay money for locked down hardware that’s not only designed to spy on them, but their family, friends, and neighbors as well. Ring, Amazon Echo, Google Home, that creepy Facebook robot screen…all insecure spyware.
“I don’t care if his name is Tux – get him out of here!”
Omg if that is what the guy was referring to then I am going to die from laughter 😆
“Good, if those still wishing to make satanic hand gestures and hidden eye symbols keep doing it and don’t stop Alex Jones I might just do that,” [added] X user Robin Cope.
What are these satanic hand gestures that I am missing out on? Sounds cool.
No worries! :)
Yeah. I guess we shouldn’t expect that to change any time soon?
If that’s the case, maybe public votes is the best way to go.
You should not be ashamed of your vote history.
I agree, people shouldn’t be ashamed of their vote history unless they are trying to harass a person or community with a pattern of downvotes.
I still don’t want to be harassed for my voting though, nor will I be pressured into defending my votes if a user brings it up.
Who determines the quality of one’s posts though?
The users? Users are reactionary and often vote based on how a post influenced their feelings. It probably works on Stack Exchange because the scope of the forum is solving technical problems.
Downvotes can be useful in certain contexts, like when you visit a thread and are looking for factual information, such as the answer to a tech question. I don’t want to accidentally follow someone’s bad advice because the bad advice didn’t have any downvotes nor any responses as to why it was wrong.
It’s not perfect, but voting is a quick, often effective method of fact checking.
It would encourage harassment the same way comment history does: someone goes looking for it, sees it, and attacks the person over it.
Aren’t we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?
No! :) The most Linux I use is a Steam Deck.
I feel votes should be visible to admins but otherwise anonymized and private, or else I fear vote-harassment could become a forever-problem on Lemmy. As a woman who has been harassed on Twitter and Reddit in the past, I strongly urge the Lemmy community to embrace privacy on this issue. If there’s any way to make votes more private between users, we should do it.
If we don’t and users get harassed, they might leave. Lemmy needs more women. And you all are great but Lemmy also needs people who aren’t Linux nerds! Lemmy needs diversity.
This is the correct answer. Divide competitors up by class, skill level, or anything else besides perceived sexual anatomy.
I can’t tell if you are joking and that makes me really uncomfortable.
Wow that is awful. I hope that never happens to you!
Just curious: why do you use a vpn for gaming?
For one, CNN has a history of firing / cutting ties with anyone that is pro-Palestine (not even anti-Israel, just anyone who simply doesn’t want people in Gaza and the West Bank to die).
Sony’s Xperia phones are fantastic and the bootloader can be unlocked on most models (check the sony bootloader unlock webpage to check). Xperia phones have a micro sd slot, headphone jack, and physical camera shutter button. I have an Xperia 1 iii running LineageOS w/microG and it’s fantastic and stable. Bit of a learning curve to set it up though.
Depending on where you live, I would recommend the new Xperia 1 VI; Sony is promising support for three OS versions and four years of security updates. It’s not great but it is far better than what they previously promised with their phones.
I have an Amazfit Bip 5 with Gadgetbridge and for the most part it works just fine. It even accurately recognizes my bicycle workouts, something my Apple Watch Series 5 could never manage to do. For $80, I am very satisfied.
On the flip side, the Sleep and Do Not Disturb modes let through calendar notifications and sounds no matter what, which is mildly infuriating.
I also deleted the Zepp app after the initial pairing, so maybe that’s part of why my experience is different?
Thank you for an informative and non-snarky answer.
