It’s documented that he had regular contact with the CIA and that the CIA stonewalled congress on providing information. The CIA even appointed one of Oswald’s handlers as a CIA liaison to congress, while covering up the connection. Congress had specifically requested the liaison have no connection to the case.

It’s pretty nuts that former CIA director Allen Dulles and the CIA killed a US president because he didn’t help them successfully conduct their coup in Cuba the way they did in Iran and Guatemala.

The skull thing is pretty dumb.

Blake Stone. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile

Honestly, your job doesn’t matter. Study the absolute hell out of leetcode and do mock interviews. Then, when you feel confident you’ll know you’re ready.

Sorry to break it to you. 1990 wasn’t 20 years ago, 2000 wasn’t 10 years ago.

What’s wrong with Tim Cook?

Edit: Downvoted for asking a question, y’all are miserable people.

If you watch WWDC, they shared how it works. They have a private cloud that does not persist data on it, only processes it. Also, it’s audited by a third party and there is a cryptographic mechanism that will not allow your request to be accepted unless the server software has been publicly signed by the auditor. At least, this is my best understanding of it from what I remember.

Also, in the same presentation they announced that you can now lock your Apps and hide them, which will keep its data out of the OS search results. I am fairly certain this also means it’s opted out of ML/AI processing given that any LLM would rely on the same search index.

Americans don’t know what’s good for them

The issue is some updates don’t contain just security fixes, but rather privacy invading features and advertising that make the OS shittier.

Niche is like “heatpumps” or “succulents” or just any random topic that you want to learn more about.

For me, Reddit was always invaluable for getting initial information on anything I needed to check out for the first time.

1. Takes a bit to get set up with something passable. The default Lemmy UI is kinda shit and you have to figure out which apps to use to make it work for you. It can feel a little unpolished initially.
2. Niche communities just aren’t there yet. There is a lot of effort in creating them, but low engagement. It also doesn’t help that federation can mean communities on one topic are divided.
3. Content can get a bit stale. I feel I see fresh content for about an hour a day and then have to wait another day before the next batch. When I browse throughout the day I start to notice the same stories popping in my feed over and over. Sometimes this happens for days on ended with one story just kinda coming back.

In what case is a BEV better than hybrid already?

I mean, it works though. The Prius is one of the most reliable cars on the road. It can go 500,000 miles

It should be called “unregulated money laundry for criminals”

Lemmy has a much smaller user base

Recommend that you go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display and uncheck “Show Wallpaper”

This will make it so the display is mostly black when not in use. Black pixels don’t use power on OLED screens, so it will help boost your battery life.

Or, leave the wallpaper if you’d rather.

They’re killing the furniture industry! Their habit for laying in bed is reducing the demand for things like dining room chairs, recliners, couches, and sofas.

I personally don’t care if people want to be vegan and sometimes I’ll eat vegan food. For me though, on the whole, I find vegan food unappealing. It usually involves compromises and doesn’t taste that great.

Additionally, I did eat in a house of vegetarians for about 10 months once. I ate meat outside the house on occasion, but mostly ate vegetarian. It was really hard on my stomach. After meals, I would usually have crazy gas. It did improve over time, but always was an issue for me.

For these reasons, I don’t prefer veganism or vegetarianism. It’s okay if you do though.

Edit: for vegans wondering why they’re hated, I think the downvotes to this comment summarize it. Above I’ve expressed a view perfectly tolerant of veganism. I’ve even tried some of it myself, but don’t find it appealing. Rather than just accept that someone else has a different dietary preference than you, you shit on them. If you want to be tolerated, be tolerant.
