“These riots are clearly not ‘peaceful protests’ as you can see from the photos of these horrific wounds,”
When you use force to deny peoples rights, they fight back and you end up with wounds. Back the fuck off and you don’t get injured officers.

Emby has a decent xbox app for media streaming. TBH I’ve just been using an HTPC lately though.
- Comment on A woman has been ordered to remove a gorilla statue from the front of her house in Wakefield or face a fine. 4 weeks ago:
They haven’t brought up any saftey concerns, simply ‘you didn’t ask first, so now it must come down’
Their initial letter about it only mentions aesthetic issues. Someone doesn’t like how it looks and is flexing their position to get it removed.

- Comment on Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed 1 month ago:
Outright banning it or taxing the shit out of it have the same effect: buyers go to underground sellers, further risking their health/bypassing legal quality controls.
Source: I’m a weed smoker in Canada. While it is legal here; it’s like 80% cheaper to use ‘native’ dispensaries (shops on native land, run by natives, and thus not subject to federal/provincial taxes). It’s been several years since I last used a govt dispensary, and that was mostly because my usual sources were unavailable at the time.
$10-15/gram shatter vs $45-50/gram at a govt dispensary.
At least the taxing option brings in revenue for the govt and keeps people out of jail just for consuming their substance of choice without harming anyone else.
- Comment on How do I remove bird poop from cement and/or metal surfaces? 1 month ago:
I gave two options, a pressure washer, and a floor maintainer.
The floor maintainer can be used wet or dry and will grind off a small amount of the concrete during polishing.
Just something to be mindful of. Airborne pathogens from the poo is a bigger issue.
- Comment on How do I remove bird poop from cement and/or metal surfaces? 1 month ago:
Home depot rents pressure washers for like $35/4hrs. They include soap injectors to add concrete cleaners with the spray, but you can also just dump cleaner on the ground, brush it with a broom then pressure wash.
There’s also a ‘floor maintainer’ which is often used to clean/polish concrete. Either with a bristle brush attachment or various grits of pokishing pad.
As others have said, 100% use PPE. Face mask, gloves, eye pro. Concrete dust contains silica which leaves you with silicosis and bird poo (well any animal poo really) contains some rather nasty diseases humans can contract. Keep yourself safe.
- Comment on Will I get notifications if lemmy users comment on my post? 2 months ago:
Depends on the client.
I was using Jerboa for quite some time: it doesn’t provide notifications.
Switched to Boost somewhat recently: it does provide notifications.

Except aspartame and sucralose tase like ass.
As a daily Original Coke drinker; Diet Coke and Coke Zero both make me gag. I’ve tried several times, I can’t finish a can of either.
- Comment on i just got an ad in my lemmy inbox. 2 months ago:
Given the date, I doubt this has anything to do with the company. Probably just a joke/troll with poor taste.
Apr 1st would be a really dumb day to start a new ad campaign on a platform explicitly created to escape corporate greed. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot…

Does America even make any consumer routers?

Not that you should be anyway; but don’t use any password you’ve used anywhere else.

I just woke up from a nap, and now I’m eating cookies. Don’t have any juice boxes on hand tho; a can of cola will have to do.

The land may become uninhabitable by humans, but something tells me aquatic life will be alright… Maybe no all of it, but there will be adaptation and life will go on.
That’s not to say destroying our ecosystems is ok, just that we’re probably not going to end life entirely.

Well that answers that question. Thanks :)
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 4 months ago:
👋
Most of us run systems for friends, family, even a few coworkers; but there are those out there that sell access to their systems to anyone wiling to pay. This is explicitly forbidden by the TOS of Plex/Emby, and I’m pretty sure Jellyfin as well (haven’t checked that one), but it still happens.
There’s even tools like Ombi to automatically manage and retrieve requests for users.

My favorite one is when you tap something on a touchscreen, the item highlights/reacts visually showing the device recognized your input, but it doesn’t perform the action you tapped on. (it works just fine the second time you try though)
I presed the button…
You know I pressed the button…
I know you know I pressed the button…
WHY are you not doing the thing??

Telling someone that they are the problem is insulting, whether you like it or not.
I agree, continuing to feed the machine is not helping; but there are more constructive ways to express the same point. Help people learn and get comfortable with better solutions, don’t scold them for following what they’ve grown up to know as ‘right’.

Shame on you.
Insults aren’t very welcoming for new pirates.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 5 months ago:
I doesn’t really make a difference whether it was the actual platform or a higher decision; the end result is pissed off fans that turn to piracy instead of giving you money. Then those fans give you even less in the future. There will always be some that just say ‘fuck it’ and pay up, but it’s diminishing returns.
This bullshit is exactly how pirates are born.
