I mean, just looking at him he’s in his 40s? Doesn’t federal time have very little time reduction for good behavior, so he’ll be close to 70? He may just die behind bars lol.

I never use Ookla for this reason. I use the Google speed test here in the states.

Horsey OP ,

No totally not. I think it’s time I move away from kbin because I constantly have this issue lol

Horsey OP ,

No knock to you and your tip, but I’d never use a browser CarPlay solution🤐 the touch responsiveness is too slow and it’s too much of a hassle to start up at every drive.

Not unless they were getting Ukraine’d by Egypt/Jordan/Lebanon/Syria. Since they’re not, they can make do imho.

The situation here is very, very unique. The state is a swing state that has been trending slowly Democratic. When the AZ Supreme Court ruling came out, Democrats began salivating at the thought of a gigantic turnout for the pro abortion ballot initiative. Any smart GOP politician in the state began to shit their pants because abortion rights ballot initiatives could surge the Democratic turnout in all the state political races and could turn AZ dark blue based on this one single issue. The writing is on the wall though… AZ will be a blue state, but it’s not going to happen quickly as long as the GOP doesn’t piss off the state with unpopular policies.

Iraq: Authorities must urgently repeal new law criminalizing same-sex relations ( www.amnesty.org )

The Iraqi authorities’ passing of a law that penalizes same-sex relations with up to 15 years in prison is yet another blow to the LGBTI community in the country, said Amnesty International today.   Responding to the news the organization’s Iraq Researcher Razaw Salihy said:   “LGBTI individuals in Iraq endure...

I wanna know how Kurdistan feels about this.

Every doctor I’ve had as an adult, except my university health center doctor and planned parenthood doctor, has been hesitant towards my “gay” care. Things like saying I have multiple sexual partners make them wince when I say I want to be tested for STDs on a regular basis. Only my gay friendly providers offered me an anal exam when I said I was generally the receptive partner (to check for warts, hemorrhoids, sores, etc).

Stay under 5mg. Wait at least 4 hours before taking a second gummy. The general tolerance for edibles is lower than smoking. Edibles also last a lot longer and hit harder than smoking.

Definitely don’t drink while high as I would not recommend it unless you were staying put in one place.

Try to follow the crowds; let the locals and other tourists make the first move crossing the streets and crosswalks.

My impression of the cops there is that they are very strict if you’re stumbling around being a danger to the drivers and tourists. Being impaired in Vegas on the street is kinda tolerated since it’s an open container legal place.

Enjoy and stay safe!

I was generally considering getting a model Y, but learned that they can’t be exported overseas and still don’t have CarPlay and Android auto. Not to mention that it’s seemingly impossible to get an insurance quote without buying the car first???? Sorry, I’m going with another company.

Hey hey hey, you can get to the popup abortion clinic in Blythe from downtown in 2h18 👍🏽

What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be?

For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I...

As someone with 20 years horseback riding in the wilderness, I’ve come to enjoy a joint while out there. While I don’t recommend it by any means,I think it’s very much entirely possible to be buzzed on cannabis and still be safe. 1 joint is like 1 beer with a meal for me.

I unironically love cooking with my steel chopsticks.

reporting in from Pima County, AZ:

We're generally just shy here in Pima County of a 60/40 democratic lean. On the ground it feels like more and more people from Cali are moving in and voting blue all the way down ballot. Biden himself isn't very popular, but the Democratic policies are however very popular. I'm in my 30s, and nearly 60% of the people I know are voting blue, with people in Phoenix seemingly trending more blue since 2020. A down ballot abortion issue (it looks like it'll make the ballot in November) will absolutely cause a surge that will push the election over the edge as I know how pro-abortion most people are here. The Democratic Party here is running canvassing and getting people involved; I feel cautiously optimistic about us going blue again this cycle.

I’m not buying a car that relies on a subscription for navigation and lacks CarPlay

Horsey ,

Didn't drive at all until I was 25; got a Toyota Prius C, brand new in 2016 as my first car after working a few years and saving money. Best thing about it is that I'm still driving it; I haven't done anything but routine maintenance on it and get ~53MPG.

Horsey ,

My personal theory is that if he publicly appeals to right wing ideology more people overall will buy his cars lol. The Twitter shit is just piece of that.

So this SOC benchmarks on par with AMD's best integrated GPU? On par with the M3, but not the M3 Pro/Max. If I'm going to switch to Windows, I'm not going to buy a less powerful PC that's less capable than an AMD unit with a discreet GPU lmao. Call me when these are on par with 4080/4090 lol.

Horsey ,

Literally the reason why I use apple products is because their UI is the only one which is consistent, looks the best, and performs the best. MacOS/iOS pings the GPU to draw animations with a higher priority than other tasks which makes it a smoother experience overall.

I strongly believe that the flat and dull UI design of windows and Android looks cheap, tacky, and out of place on the highest end devices. Glassy UI design is the pinnacle of UI design because it looks the best, gives a sense of layering that’s lost with an opaque UI, and puts the powerful GPUs in modern devices to work which ties into a sense of value for money when you buy the higher end devices.

If Apple rebranded themselves to be a flat UI like Windows did from 7 to 8, I’d literally sell my apple ecosystem on the spot. I however don’t see that happening because my bet is that they converge with VisionOS in which glassy design is a critical UI design choice that enables VR and AR to be as seamless as it can be.

I have kept an eye on the android ecosystem and think I’ll switch over eventually if Samsung adopts a glassy UI that permeates ALL of the UI and not just the notification shade/homescreen icon drawer/edge panels. However though, since Samsung doesn’t have Linux software, you have to use Windows’s myphone app alongside Dex applications on windows to get the continuity features I get in the apple ecosystem. As a sidebar, the removal of Samsung notes as a universal windows app (Only Samsung laptops can officially run Samsung notes) left a particularly bad taste in my mouth for android because I feel like that sort of thing could happen with anything I rely on within the ecosystem.

As a note about the windows ecosystem: it’s incredibly slow, android apps are being removed from Windows in 2025 (which would make me rely on Dex for any continuity at all). Windows applications are generally coded poorly, are not uniform because there’s a lack of CoreUI frameworks to build an application off of, and it just looks awful with the mix of XP settings icons and Windows 11 icons all smudged together for legacy reasons. Windows 12 needs to completely overhaul its UI and android continuity for me to even consider using it. As it stands now, I would switch to Linux because I could have a glassy desktop theme, but the continuity features just aren’t there on Linux with android.

Horsey ,

In all reality, you can put Mac applications anywhere. There’s even a dedicated applications folder in your home folder. It’s just a really old legacy thing.

Linux for desktop market share surpasses 4% for the first time, says Statcounter ( www.neowin.net )

Statcounter, a website that tracks the market share of web browsers, operating systems, and search engines, is reporting that Linux on the desktop has over 4% market share for the very first time (Statcounter records ChromeOS as a separate operating system despite being based on Linux). Statcounter doesn’t provide any...

Affinity Photo is also really really good. I’d imagine it’s high profile and will have good support in wine.

I switched to Bitwarden after 1Password moved to electron and booted selfhosters off the app and into their sub model. Jesus Christ is the current Bitwarden UI bad. It’s easily the worst looking application on my phone that isn’t a banking app; I’ve had zero issues with the functionality though.

Horsey ,

The Tegra processor in the switch was like 2 years old when the switch was released. How much you wanna bet they release the Switch 2 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (at best) in 2025 and call it a day? They know that emulating the Switch with that hardware will be possible right out of the gate on day 1 with current technology.

Can Linux be dual booted on a computer with Windows?

I have a Lenovo Yoga running Windows 10 on a 1TB SSD and at some point will probably have to upgrade it to Windows 11. I use it for school and have to keep Windows on it for now because of what I'm currently doing. I want to start getting into Linux in hopes of making the switch sometime down the line. Is partitioning the disk...

All the more reason to put your windows personal folder and /home folders on a separate partition. Windows IIRC doesn’t enforce you storing applications in a particular location, so just make your OS install small (you can resize it later).

As much as I would hate it, I’d consider strategically voting against her, definitely in a primary election, for sure in a general election just to get rid of her. Fuck her.

KDE Connect is something I keep my eye on and check in every once in a while: Is there a dedicated page tracking updates specifically to KDE Connect? I’m really very much looking forward to a time where it is feature compete with Android compared to Apple’s continuity platform. I would absolutely love to move to Android+Linux as my daily drivers, but I feel like I’m giving up on too much by leaving the Apple ecosystem.

Does Connect use BTLE?
Could you guys implement an auto tethering option between phone/PC?
How instant are notifications synced? Do notifications disappear on one side or the other when viewed on one or the other platform?
Maybe implement a “link to KDE” notification toggle to mirror the “link to windows” functionality of Android?

on T-Mobile USA: I preordered my iPhone 15; the QR eSIM and automated SIM transfer system was completely down and I had to spend 30 minutes to an hour on the phone with customer service to swap over my physical SIM to an eSIM I could type (IIRC) into my new phone.

It really confuses me why people would want to play a competitive video game that is balanced around profit. Riot openly admits to buffing and nerfing based on skin sales and champion releases.

They’ve been doing this here in southern AZ since I became a member like 5 years ago lol

If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen?

Imagine the following scenario: On the 9th of January 2024 in the morning we wake up to news that President of the USA Joe Biden suffered a stroke and died in White House. The administration confirms that the death was entirely natural and no third party contributed to it. Even before the news reach all TV stations another one...

18+ Edibles effects? ( kbin.social )

Is there a way to seek out certain edibles effects like how is done with different flower strains for smoking? It seems like the edibles market in Arizona is far less diverse than flower and I'm wondering if it has to do with the effects of edibles in general? I generally want a product that will energize me and help with the...

I'll be honest, I'm trying not to smoke unless I really need a short lived effect haha.

Nearly every single business either employs a full time CPA or uses a CPA firm to check their books.

People like this think that it’s a right to own a business lmao. If you’re unprofitable, fuck off then.

Horsey ,

This is probably a smart move… Trump will never win California but it will open up the Secretary of State office to lawsuits that will only waste money. It’s not like a precedent in California will help other states bar him.
