For shooters, especially competitive ones, as high as possible up to my monitor’s refresh rate (165Hz). Everything else 60 FPS is fine. Even 30 FPS can be fine, especially if I’m playing something on Switch.

I live in Germany and I own the RTL515 (ordered from France), which is technically banned from even being installed on a bike here, regardless of the mode used.

I generally use these modes:

At night: steady with flashing when cars approach

During the day: day flash mode (different pattern when cars approach)

When others may be cycling behind me: peloton mode (dimmer and pulses when cars approach)

Not once have I been stopped or fined for using this bike light. I know it’s a controversial topic, but idgaf, I’m convinced it’s safer than the German model, which not only doesn’t flash, but is also significantly less bright. The laws are dumb anyway, considering it would be perfectly legal to use the light mounted to myself or helmet. But the moment it’s attached to the bike it’s illegal? Makes no sense.

I might be wrong, but I think you still can’t use a ‘:’ in a filename in macOS. If I recall correctly it will let you do it and show it in Finder, but actually replace it with a ‘-’.

Sometimes I can’t scroll voyager when using iPhone mirroring with iOS 18/macOS 15. I haven’t been able to pin down what causes it to occur though unfortunately.

This is the way. I blocked keywords relating to Trump, Musk and the far right extremist party in my own country the other day and while some stuff still gets through it has made Lemmy significantly more pleasant to browse.

I can read about that stuff elsewhere if I really want to, but honestly I think we might not even be in this mess if the media didn’t amplify those voices every time they said or did something outrageous.

I implemented the filters using the Voyager app, but I think most Lemmy clients have similar options. On desktop my instance offers Tesseract which also allows filtering by keywords.

I don’t think only gender neutral bathrooms is the way to go. There should be an all gender bathroom and a woman’s bathroom. Unfortunately we live in a world where women may still feel understandably uncomfortable with men in the bathroom with them.

Note: To be clear I’m not saying the women’s bathroom should be for cis women only, it should only exclude men.

I’m fully bilingual (learned both languages at the same time) and that is not my experience at all. For me it is 100% subconscious. I just automatically speak the appropriate language for the situation I’m in without thinking about it.

In fact if I try to consciously speak the “wrong” language for the situation I’m in it feels very weird and it takes a lot of effort to not mix up the pronunciation.

Dreaming/inner thoughts work the same way. The language is always automatic based on context.

Nothing says big dick energy like having a tantrum because you convinced yourself a woman who doesn’t even know you exist called your penis small.

Weren’t Sirius Cybernetics Corporation also the first against the wall when the revolution came?

Pick one. Just saying, whatever the situation, it obviously wasn’t a safe option.

When German cops do police brutality they burn you to death in your cell

That’s why you stamp it out first.

You can change the home button behaviour in the settings to take you to the app view.

public infrastructure doesn’t give you a lot of options for getting rid of butts

It’s literally the same infrastructure as for every other kind of litter: a bin. Just stamp it out and throw it away. If there isn’t a bin take it with you and throw it out later. Before I quit smoking I had a small plastic vial with a screw lid that I collected the butts in for later disposal. A small jar, dedicated pocket ash tray or in a pinch even a plastic bag or simply a pocket would work too. It’s really not that hard.

I realise you’re probably not one of the people who litter their cigarette butts, but you still shouldn’t be making excuses for people who do. Throwing cigarettes on the ground is no better than any other kind of littering. And while I’m at it: the same goes for bottle caps.

There’s a headphone jack on the other side. I don’t think Apple make a computer without a headphone jack. Most models have more than two USB-C ports as well and all current models have a dedicated “Magsafe” charging port.

Not for much longer unfortunately. He will likely be elected the next chancellor when early elections happen sometime in the next months. It’s also not unlikely that he will willingly form a coalition with the far-right extremist AfD that love to suck on Putin’s tit and have supported the idea of Ukraine ceding territory to Russia.

He’s a disgusting piece of shit and this is just him using Ukraine to fish for votes.

It seems like it’s still possible to disable Gatekeeper on macOS 15: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255759797

I haven’t tried it though. It’s so rare that I want to run something unsigned, I prefer leaving it enabled and then allowing whatever it is I want to run.

Yeah, but part of the trolley problem is that it’s not just about choosing the option with the least harm, but also how being active in the decision impacts the morality of the situation. Being of the opinion that letting 3 people die on one track without your intervention is better than actively choosing the death of 2 is a completely valid response to the trolley problem. You don’t have to agree that it’s the right decision, but it’s still valid.

Applying that to the election would mean deciding that letting the bigger harm that would be a Trump presidency happen is preferable to being an active participant in helping steer the metaphorical tram onto the Harris track and harming the people there.

There are no black and white answers here. That’s the whole point of the trolley problem. Everyone is going to have their own point of view and it’s going to vary depending on how they perceive the harm on each track. Like I said, if I had a vote in the US election, I’d probably vote to send the tram onto the Harris track, but my willingness to do so wouldn’t be infinite, just because the Trump track is worse. At some point the harm becomes so big, that I would refuse to be an active participant, even if inaction meant an even worse outcome. Some people (understandably) feel like that with the current choices. That doesn’t make them Trump supporters or bad people.

Are people really claiming Trump isn’t worse? I think it’s more that people think that Harris may be better than Trump (pretty low bar there), but still too bad to vote for. Voting for the lesser evil only goes so far. At some point the lesser evil is still too far from one’s own ideals that voting for them isn’t an option. Different people will obviously draw that line in different places and if I lived in the USA, I’d probably begrudgingly vote for Harris in the coming election.

Democrats basically slandering anyone who refuses to vote for their candidate as Trump supporters is fucking stupid and will hardly convince anyone to change their minds. Especially when it seems democrats have had nothing to offer the left other than “the other side is worse” for as far back as I can remember. If they want the left’s votes, they need to earn them.

I’ve read about places banning their use at night because they kill hedgehogs.
