This is in Canada not the US.

They definitely aren’t. They just passed an anti-lgbt bill and the next day a well known trans woman was stabbed to death.

.ml here, I hope he goes to prison for a very long time.

Granted I knew nothing of the differences between .ml, hexbear, etc at the time I joined, and still kinda don’t. To be fair I question what the hell im doing half the time anyway lmao.

Maybe someone that is a little more involved in the different servers could shine some light? Cause man I get frustrated seeing some of the stuff I do, even when I try to tailor my feed to certain subs it still bleeds through lol.

As much as I don’t want to agree, I partially do agree with your first statement and hope (regardless of how little faith I have in the justice system) that they are intentionally doing this so they can let the can of worms open if he loses and then take every single person they can down with him when they try to derail the results and attempt a 2nd coup.

It would be the icing on the cake, like you lost and you made a second attempt at it, there’s no fucking back tracking and now we have even more people that came out of the woods to help you and we are going to take you all down.

They could put him in jail now, but corruption is rampant, but maybe (sliver of hope) there is some quiet digging of graves for these people to fall into.

It’s not, but you only pointed out xenophobia as the cause.

I’m opening the door a little and pointing out that it’s much bigger than just xenophobia that’s all.

Having lived there for almost 10 years, most of it as a “local”, they also have a very real problem of foreigners coming there and destroying apartments or racking up debt and just leaving.

There’s more going on obviously, like the xenophobia you mention, and just straight up racism, and probably other things. So it’s a little more than just a cultural problem but that is a decent chunk of it.

I’m curious about the stick drift thing.

I have 3 controllers, two of which I’ve had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that’s about how long it took me to get one.

Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn’t have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I’m not considering that one.

Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.

I was considering that, but was reluctant to do it without any advice since I don’t know enough about the Deck and how it works other than it runs on a variant of Arch.

After your comment I did try it and it worked.

Thank you!

Did you read the article?

He was already a special needs student with an apparently individualized education program. This doesn’t sound like a “Why now?” Situation. It sounds a bit like there may be more going on, especially since the school district declined to answer when questioned about it.

You may be right that it’s probably not the first sign of aggression but he’s also autistic with other issues. Do you know how expensive it is to get help, how our healthcare/insurance system preys on people to take their money rather than help them, and the likelihood of this family maybe not being able to help more than they already were?

I feel sorry for the person that he hurt, but this is a mentally ill black kid getting tossed in prison because of a mental illness. Which is going to ruin him just like you said.

The judge saying he showed no remorse is bs used to paint this kid in the worst light. Well no fucking shit he showed no remorse, if he’s got a bunch of mental problems that would make sense. I knew a kid growing up that was similar, he was extremely strong and even the slightest thing could set him on a rampage. His parents drained everything they had into helping him, but it wasn’t enough. When the insurance stops paying what are you going to do?

I’m not saying that nothing should be done but there’s more to this than “parents failed the kid with mental disabilities”.

Edit: just realized you said US based. Tuta is not US based so that might not work for you. Sorry about that.

Tutanota (now just Tuta) allows you to use your domain. I use it, it doesn’t support external clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but they do have Android, Linux, Windows (maybe Mac too) clients.

It’s also cheap.

I’ve been using it for a few years now, it works for me.

You can get a free account to check it out first and if you like it just upgrade to get the personal domain usage and increased storage limit.

Yeah, it sounds like some reform to the process should be made.

I don’t necessarily disagree with having child welfare involved, just how they handle things might be a bit (or a lot) on the iffy side.

This is where you get to an impasse though, the procedures are possibly (I say possibly because I don’t know the history there) the way they are because people complained of not getting enough help, so the rules were changed to become more involved to better protect those needing help. Now it’s too much so people are up in arms again.

So often victims of domestic abuse go back to that situation, whether it be fear, love, pain, or whatever other reason there is. There is a reason for “but we simply don’t trust you to stick to that decision”.

There isn’t a cut and dry solution to problems like this. It doesn’t really matter which direction they go, there will always be people screaming about not doing enough, or doing too much etc.

They may be legally required to tell the abuser what is going on… I mean, how can you serve a no contact order without telling the accused.

There is a ton of work to unfold here, so many things that are in place for a reason, as unreasonable as it may seem. It will always be a work in process with such sensitive situations.

I’m from the States and have spent a more than a decade living in other countries, and have had plenty of time to see how people around the world interact with their (and other people’s) children. I have to agree with you that this really doesn’t seem like a big deal.

It looks really bad from a western perspective, especially for people that have no understanding of other cultures.

Do I agree with it, no. That’s just my personal preference though. He didn’t backhand, punch, or otherwise harm the child, and the child didn’t even seem phased by it.

Had he done this in a country other than Turkey it may be newsworthy, this just seems like rage bait.

So why can’t we call this what it is.

An attempt at election interference and throw his ass in prison for treason. For such a high profile person it should be considered no less.

Looks like Asphalt 9 was already grabbed by someone.

Because without context it comes across as racist.

Which is exactly what these people are being when they are saying that she is a diversity hire. Basically that she was only hired because she is black/indian, and a woman, not because she is qualified.

It’s actually being pushed as “broken” for 6.10 but should hopefully be completely available in 6.11.

Really? I’ve never actually noticed one.

Maybe because of the ad blocking stuff I use on my phone.

Waze works well also.

Edit: I’m getting a lot of down votes and just wanted to clarify that I have never seen an ad in Waze.

I 100% believe people saying there are a lot of ads. I think the way that I have my phone setup is why I’m not getting ads.

Will definitely have to look into the others mentioned here.

I didn’t at first, but after the response from @mranderson17 I ended up doing just that. Which seems to have resolved that issue.

Prior to enabling testing/unstable repos for access to Plasma 6.1, CM was working fine on Wayland. However after the update it seems to have broken it but changing to X11 fixes the issue. So it’s likely a combination of me messing with my system and something with Plasma 6.1.

Thank you for that.

It didn’t help but it definitely got me moving in the right direction. I remembered that I recently (yesterday) enabled the testing and kde-unstable repos in my system so I could install Plasma 6.1 to check it out. Prior to this change I had CM working properly but was having issues getting CSP to work. Well, I figured out a workaround to getting CSP to work (after this change) by just copying over my install directory from windows on top of the install in Linux. However since I had already updated to Plasma 6.1 it came with the new issue of the drop down menus.

I was using Wayland. Just swapped over to X11 and it’s working as intended. So something with Plasma 6.1 on Wayland is causing the issue.

So mostly a bunch of messing around with my system is probably what is causing the issue and for whatever reason disabling the testing and unstable repos isn’t allowing me to revert back to the previous version of Plasma. Not really sure why but that’s a totally different issue.

I really appreciate the time you took to give me such an in depth response.
