Trump on Elon Musk: "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide." in c/whitepeopletwitter

Yeah - this is infuriating. I flew today and went to take out my laptop & tablet - I had packed them in my bag so that it would be an easy move.

She started barking at me not to do that. So I asked about shoes. “I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t mean it.”

Goddamn lady. You just had to say yes.

Poor Barron - I thought he was the best with the cyber.

I mean, I would support his cause.

Louisiana governor to fly MAGA flag for Trump's inauguration in c/[email protected]
[–] PrincessLeiasCat 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Another reason this is so offensive -

MAGA/America First, etc, this isn’t the first time it’s been used in American politics. Trump didn’t invent it - see Warren G. Harding in 1920: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_campaign_slogans

What’s so disgraceful, especially in this case, is that as a result of this type of attitude, foreign languages were banned from being taught in public schools. Mostly German, as a result of WWI, but in 1921 the Louisiana state constitution was amended to also ban French. https://bayoutechedispatches.blogspot.com/2024/10/banned-in-classroom-how-state-of.html?m=1

This was a disaster for the Cajun culture in that state. Landry and Johnson should understand this more than most - it’s a slap in the face to what happened to their (and my) parents and grandparents.

The fact that Landry is bragging about it…I can’t even explain how bad it is.

I wouldn’t fuck around with it for sure. Pretty stiff situation.

Eight years ago 500,000 marched in DC against Trump. He has returned and so has the protest - just on a smaller scale in c/[email protected]

I don’t disagree with you, but things are different this time around.

  • They learned, regrouped, and have an actual plan. They’re also emboldened because they won the popular vote.
  • Trump seems unable to actually face consequences for his many wide-ranging crimes. He will never see justice. People are resigned that no matter what he does in life, punishment will never come for him. It’s easy to feel resigned when you’re up against someone like that and there’s no more hope to be had.

The sad part is - this time they’ll hail that time period as just making ‘Murica great the first time.

We really are a shithole country at times.

Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds in c/[email protected]
[–] PrincessLeiasCat 6 points 4 days ago

The ones on TikTok kill me. They’re the first to complain about younger generations being so loud with their phones, but meanwhile they’re just scrolling that shit in public, a new video every few seconds, with the volume turned up to max.

So you hear every new voice/music with no context.

They do get mad if you have noise cancelling earbuds in, too, so we can’t win. Somehow that makes us in the wrong as well.

iPhone 15 Pro keeps randomly dropping wifi (self.apple_enthusiast)
 

I upgraded from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro. So far the only internet I’ve connected to since I got the phone is at home, but with 2 different networks (one is 5g but otherwise same router and everything).

I never updated the 13 Pro to iOS 17 because I knew I would be upgrading soon, but I never had this issue with any former phone and have been on this same internet setup since 2016.

I have an iPad Mini 6 that I did update to iOS 17, and it’s fine.

I’ve tried resetting network settings, turning off Wi-Fi assist, turning off networking and wireless in location services-> system services (saw that as a potential fix), and restarting multiple times, but it still randomly drops my WiFi signal on both home networks.

Everything else wrt network/connection on my previous phone is the same - VPN setup, etc.

My SO has a 14 pro & did update to 17 and does not have this problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve searched for answers and I see that this has been an issue off and on for the past few years, but one of the fixes I mentioned above usually seems to help I guess because I haven’t seen any other suggestions.

Could it be the phone itself? Is it worth exchanging it for another one before the 2 weeks runs out?

Thanks everyone.

I forgot to go back for Lae'zel, is it too late? (self.baldurs_gate_3)
 

Long story short, I ran into Lae’zel in the cage just after we wake up on the beach in the very beginning.

I went by her and reloaded for reasons, but accidentally went a different way after that, forgot about it, & just realized she would be good to have as a Companion during combat.

I’m about to kill the goblins, and I went back for her at her previous location but she’s no longer there. Did I lose her for good, or is there still a chance?

Thanks everyone, I’m new to BG/D&D completely so apologies if this is a dumb n00b move, but I am one :)

New Orleans archbishop ignored board findings on clerics accused of abuse (www.theguardian.com)

A board which helps the Roman Catholic archbishop of New Orleans, Gregory Aymond, evaluate abuse allegations against priests and deacons in six cases found clergymen to be credibly accused only for Aymond to ignore the findings and conceal them from the public, a Guardian investigation has found.

Request: Option to change location of comment voting button(s) (self.lemmiosapp)
 

Lemmios is my favorite iOS Lemmy app so far, but I find that when I go to upvote a comment using the voting button next to the commenter’s username (top), I inadvertently collapse the comment.

Would it be possible to have both voting buttons either on the right side like posts have, or at the bottom?

I understand gestures are an option, it’s just a personal preference with the voting buttons. Old habits die hard :)

And if this feature exists, I apologize for missing it. I have looked for it in the settings but did not see such an option. Thank you for such great work with Lemmios!
