Normally I’d whole heartedly agree, but to be accused of anything even close to CSAM means he is likely one of:
Guess we’ll all find out soon enough.
Oh ffs is anybody on TV not a paedo?!
Man, top ranking Russian officials are hella clumsy
Generally in the UK I’ve learned that what we consider ‘high’ mileage is actually more like average or moderate mileage. This means there’s a sweet spot for cars with around 60-70k miles that are way more affordable than they’d otherwise be, and are usually just as reliable as everything else so long as they’ve been maintained. Like the other guy has said you’ll still pay out for maintenance, but this tends to be cheaper than PCP, lease, or other finance products.
Ex-fleet cars are good for this as they tend to be mostly motorway miles and have been maintained as per contract requirements, so offer a better-than-good chance of being a hidden gem.
The Jags you’ve been looking at are examples of this as a lot tend to be company cars.
From discussion about this with friends, it is felt that exceptions to this rule are things like pickups, vans and other commercial vehicles.
Obviously the usual disclaimers apply - always inspect, look up history, check the service logs and drive a vehicle before purchase. Also, with any second hand purchase there is an element of risk, but lots of dealers offer warranties to protect against the dreaded lemons.
‘capitals’ isn’t in all capitals lol
My word, some good news! Hopefully the extension happens and all my country-boy dreams can come true
We got a rice cooker that can also be a slow cooker, which is another useful strategy. Chop stuff up in the morning, chuck it all in, set it going then eat whenever you want.
Our primary motivation was weight loss ahead of our wedding, but the guiding principle should transfer: make it super easy. We’ve found that the lowest effort method will win out over all our intentions, so we’re rolling with it.
An example: chicken curry with rice. Also a disclaimer, we have a couple of appliances that make stuff slightly more convenient but I’ll put the alternative down too.
It takes around a minute to wash the rice then chuck it in the rice cooker. you can get microwave rice cooker pots or just use a pot on the stove. Once you’ve got the weights and timings dialled in this produces perfect rice just as you’re going to serve with no interaction during.
Then cook the chicken breast and set a timer for when the rice will be ready. We use an air fryer, but used to use the oven.
5 minutes before the chicken is done whip up the curry sauce.
Then it’s just serving - rice goes in the bowls, slice the chicken and put on top, then pour on the sauce.
Whole process looks like this:
Total cook time is around 26 minutes. Total interaction time is around 10 minutes.
It’s also super cheap.
Edit: forgot to mention that you can cook whatever veggies you want in the same thing as the chicken and don’t need to adjust your timings
I see this same issue every now and then on lots of different places, and now it’s happened to me. I think I remember someone saying it happened after their instance got a Lemmy update?
I should add that it isn’t perfect, it’s early access so expect some weirdness albeit a whole lot less than you’d think.
My favourite, for example: if you’re hiding behind cover make sure it is THICK, else a body part might clip through the model making it able to be shot. Mostly happens when prone making legs and feet stick out.
Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Battlebit Remastered. Ridiculous value. Yeah it’s low poly but you stop seeing that after around 5 minutes.
It’s not a fix but a little work around if you don’t want to reinstall:
Edit your password and just re-enter it, then tap save. Seems to achieve the same thing as reinstalling to get a new Auth token.
Agree totally with the feedback Re no information on authentication being dropped. A little splash banner or something would suffice, and then the ability to try authenticating with stored creds again
I found that editing the password and re-entering it then saving was enough. I guess it’s just having to refresh the Auth token?
Okay, clearly you’re just here to to be contrary or whatever. Maybe you don’t like that people have different opinions than you. Maybe you’re a Zuck fanboy and can’t hack being on the wrong side of the fence. Maybe you’re part of some FaceBook/Meta conspiracy to brigade.
If you’re so smart and confident that you’re correct, why don’t you show me the bit where GDPR doesn’t apply? Burden of proof on the accuser and all that.
Here is a link to a search, where the first page of results is showing that when Facebook bought WhatsApp this exact same issue popped up - what was once two distinct services suddenly started sharing data, despite user dissent. We’ve seen this before, and people are pissed off just like before.
I hope you step on some Lego in a dark room. You could use that to post to your Threads account! 🤙
Actually it’s more like being upset that Facebook friends show up in WhatsApp.
The user in the link is upset because their IG profile is now visible in a different service and they did not explicitly consent to this.
And of course there is such a thing as a Threads account, you even refer to it in your second paragraph. Just because they share a common IDP doesn’t mean they aren’t a distinct service. It’s effectively single sign on without the appropriate privacy protections.
It’s cool that you’re into the whole thing, but other people aren’t and they have a right to be pissed off. GDPR and the like weren’t created for no reason.
No, it’s just that users don’t like systems where you have to opt out by default. Like you used to have to opt out of shitty marketing emails after a purchase, but then we changed that to opt in and everyone is happier.
It’s not stupid, you shouldn’t be able to discover users in one service from another unless those user have explicitly opted in. It’s not a technical issue, it’s a principals issue.
In this case, you create a Threads account and you should be able to discover everyone else who has also made a Threads account (cos that’s the point), but you shouldn’t be able to see Instagram only users unless they have explicitly said that’s ok.
This is probably all ‘explained’ in the T&C’s, buts that’s getting into a whole other thing
Firstly, like everyone else is saying, petition your instance admin to defederate - any instance that allows that sort of content isn’t somewhere you want to be affiliated with.
You can also block the user posting stuff - I’ve had to do this with the weird anti-trans spam on that dankmemes community. Depending on what you are using you may or may not be able to do this, but the default lemmy web client will let you.
I’m glad see high effort shitposting has taken root over here too
The BBC have long since forgotten the universally important, and ever relevant, Rule 1:
