Helene wrecked some shit, y’all.

Possible replay this weekend, too. Laugh all you like about ‘climate change.’ Storms like this the were “the nightmare scenario” 20 years ago during OEM planning exercises. Katrina & Sandy were both still hypothetical. Now we also have Helene.

Yes, it’s getting worse. No, there’s nowhere to move that’s safe.

I like you. Never change.

The vote ratio suggests a botnet, but what do I know? I’m just some Internet rando.

Hi!

I’m OK, mostly.

Had some good Chinese takeaway tonight, which was a treat. Ate that while watching my countrymen descend into some kind of froth for dystopic, authoritarian autocracy. That’s kind of a bummer.

I abide. Trying to, anyway

For now.

“Restricted” means the app has been limited by your Android on the amount of data it may transmit/receive as a background app. The app settings assume you’re on a meterd or low-volume data plan, and so they don’t transmit data except when they’re active, or up on your screen.

Their upload/download tallies will still count in your Network accounting. Frankly, your screenshot looks like something I’d expect. Nothing untoward seems to be occurring.

Let those other restricted apps 'run in background" (an app permission) and you’ll see a different picture.

I mean, we’re communicating over the Internet right now, which is pretty cool. Right?

On Lemmy. For now. Things will change. But for now it’s pretty cool. Um.

Hi. :waves:

WTF kind of question is this?

Is it a thing? OK, yeah? A concept of an idea, maybe.

Is it anything approaching moral, ethical or humane? No.
Nooo.
Nope.
Nuh-uh.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Wash that stuff anyway. People cough on it, or drop it on the floor and put it back surreptitiously.

You’re early. McConnell isn’t running for reelection, but I’m not sure if he’s up this year, or next cycle.

The party in his pants apparently prefers China, tho?

There’s Gradle to crave joke to make here, but deploy keeps failing during dependency checks for humor.

… Good?

It’s news today, but should this be?

They’re just going out to vote for you now. Right, Donnie?

suspends asylum claims in between ports of entry when border crossings reach a certain threshold

Seems reasonable to me, and I’m not even in what you’d call a border state. Why wouldn’t you support limits upon what seems an obvious exploit of what is otherwise an open system? We do this in telecom all the time. Any system of exceptions can be spammed, this is just a rate-limit.

I expect nothing less than smarmy, self-congratulatory inference and salacious innuendo (edit: …from Vance).

They got nothing.

Weak.

C’mon, CBS. The ghost of Cronkite might have to visit you.

Show up to the polls and vote.

Already did, so I DO have time for a hit off this hopium pipe.

Oh, jeez. I remember reading that book in elementary school!

Thanks for the horrific trip down memory lane, ya bastid. Happy Halloween, too.

Yeah, it was more salacious even that that. I decided not to post the rest.
