Kentucky sheriff held over fatal shooting of judge in court
  • They are not taken seriously by law enforcement. They are advertised to be taken seriously.

    It's awful but that's the way it is. If your experience working with a victim in your jurisdiction has been a positive one I'm really glad to hear that and I would love to know what things made it work so we'll.

    In my experience supporting a victim, there's no ramifications for the perpetrator, no appetite for investigation and no support for the victim outside the private system (the support hotlines are particularly useless).

    Police simply are not there to protect and support victims of personal violence offences.

    You can call bullshit all you want, but this is my lived experience in a western country and I have nothing to gain by being deceptive 🤷.

  • Kentucky sheriff held over fatal shooting of judge in court
  • Based on my experience with how the law deals with victims of child sexual assault, I think all we have is vigilantism.

    This would happen multiple times before it's stopped and this is only challenged by the power position of the assailant.

    It's not great, but, in my experience, sexual assault is not taken very seriously, unfortunately.

  • Postal worker parent of trans kid refused to deliver hateful flyers. She's being punished.
  • I love this discussion because it's a complex issue.

    I suppose I stand on the side that maybe she should have just delivered them. It's just words and individuals can throw garbage in the bin pretty easily. I sure as shit wouldn't want anybody filtering my mail.

    OTOH, "got a job to do" is a weak justification for unethical behaviour.

    Put me down 3:2 in favour of delivering the things I guess.

  • Looking to get away from Sublime; Sell me on your favorite non-modal text editor!
  • Typically modal refers to insert/normal mode.

    Mode in terms of the file type is fairly standard across all editors.

    So Emacs, VScode, Vim and Pycharm are the obvious choices.

    Geany and Kate are options but they're not as nice to use.

    See generally helix and zed.

  • Apple's mobile chips are now made in the U.S. — TSMC produces the older A16 Bionic at its Arizona fab
  • Yeah that's been my least favourite experience with Lemmy.

    Many replies are hostile and highly opinionated.

    I don't have an answer for your question but it was a good question and it made me curious.

    I'm in favour of domestic production but I would always want more information about it.

  • Confused about linux as always
  • Yeah gotta back Arch here. It's relatively stable and a good compromise between the two extremes of non-modular highly configured and DIY.

    The only moving part with arch is installing a couple packages.

  • Confused about linux as always
  • Pick a rolling release distribution with a limited number of opinionated choices. Arch is a good one. Void is another (although far less main stream).

    Ubuntu is very non-modular and highly opinionated, probably avoid that.

    I recommend XFCE over LXDE, it's probably a better compromise in terms of what you're looking for.

    So, my advice:

    1. Install endeavourOS (or arch directly if so inclined)
    2. Choose xfce at install time
      • you may install gnome and then xfce over the top of you like
      • you may also like KDE plasma, but try to avoid a mix and match with gnome/xfce and KDE, you'll find some theming etc will be a nuisance
    3. Keep it up to date.
  • RFK Jr says he faces federal investigation for beheading whale
  • Dial it back a bit. Many drug dealers are just trying to earn a living and many sell high quality safe products responsibly.

    Most drug dealers I know have in fact never carried a whale carcass home.

  • Apple's Activation Lock for iPhone components will make a huge dent in the market for stolen iPhones, though it introduces another barrier to DIY repairs (Ben Lovejoy/9to5Mac)
  • You don't have to edit your message, nobody is suggesting that. It is, however, terse and unclear.

    I really like the book "Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace" by Williams [^1], you should check it out if you have time. It has a lot of good advice that is easy to apply.

    See Also Elements of Style by EB White [^2].

  • How do I Graphene OS?
  • To elaborate on this answer, I found the performance with graphene to be really subpar.

    I know it's supposed to be exactly the same in terms of speed, but that was not my experience.

    If You find the performance of your device to be inadequate now you may wish to upgrade first.
