Good to see proliferation of presence detectors. Good for turning things off when nobody is around.
In my last job I got to play a bit with the SeeedStudio mmWave presence box. What was interesting (and a little confusing) was that it took multiple add-on boards for things like on-device fall detection (for elderly). For the time I had with it, it worked fine with HA: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/mmwave_radar_Intro/
Somebody will take a sip.
‘Shoe Penis’ has good energy, but might limit bookings for Bar/Bat-Mitzvahs and Quinceañeras.
12+ years on Reddit. Walked away in disgust after the API fiasco and killing Apollo. Found Voyager here and that really helped the transition.
I miss the local subs, especially related to current events, and game day threads of local baseball team. Haven’t found a good replacement (the Athletic has them but they’re harder to navigate). On current events, unless it’s a really big national news story, not much.
Between the loss of Reddit and Twitter, I feel like I’m getting less realtime news. But in retrospect, it didn’t really matter. I’m actually fine reading about something two days later once the outrage has died down.
My daily usage definitely dropped, which is a good thing. I’ve been reading digital and physical books more instead of mostly a diet of audiobooks and podcasts. If there’s some idle time, I dip into a book instead of reflexively checking social media.
FWIW, Lemmy has the same vibe as Reddit 10 years ago. I’m planning on sticking around and contributing more.
How to give land more votes than people. Not long before election results are measured in number of acres.
If you liked Apollo, you’ll really like Voyager for Lemmy: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762
That’s probably a low figure. The PM and his wife’s multiple homes were raided in 2018: https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/dozens-of-hermes-birkin-bags-and-other-items-seized-from-najib-linked-apartment
Jho Low, one of the key figures behind the 1MDB scandal (supposed contributor to the PM’s funds) is said to have funneled even more, investing in Hollywood movies and dating actresses and supermodels. He is still a fugitive. There’s a fascinating book on the whole thing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_Dollar_Whale
Let’s not forget… the reason this type of licensing exists is because large cloud providers were taking a large code base and selling them as services . Often, the main path for the creators to make any money from their code is to offer a paid, managed tier, along with professional services. They would end up competing, and losing, against those cloud providers.
Not saying this kind of license is good or bad, but the reason is often not to stop self-hosting or screw contributors, but to maintain couple of the only pathways FOSS can bring in revenue.
Now we have two problems…
Ignore them. Send a pull request with the full source of Arch Linux.
Someone must have forwarded hotel management the Nazi Bar story.
Overall, everyone would be better off staying put, not panicking, and hoping a plane and trained pilots can get everyone on the ground, safely.

There are bleacher seats with back support, but they are cumbersome to carry and if you stand up, you can knock them onto the people behind you. Also, they’re a bit anti-social in a sold out event where everyone’s squeezed in.
I’ve found inflatable bleacher cushions to be a good option. Some store very small in a pouch, then you blow them up at the game. If you tip them off the seat, nobody gets hurt. No back support, but they make sitting a lot more comfortable.
The AP article, mentions ‘southeast Iran’ and Kerman, but includes a map of Iran with a marker for the capital, Tehran. They couldn’t be bothered to spend 30s and lookup where it actually happened.
It’s like posting an article about a school shooting in Arizona and putting up a map of US and only labelling Washington, DC. I get it’s not the main point of the article, but JFC, your job is to inform. 🤦🏻♂️

Thank you for the write up. It looks like they need to find out why JA722A actually came to be on the runway. It’s truly amazing that nobody died on the JAL flight.

Where’s the bear-proof bin?
I talked to Japanese colleagues about this a lot. The issue isn’t just plain old xenophobia. In a lot of cultures, when someone gets married, there are considerations about marrying ‘the right kind’ for the family. As silly as that might sound to U.S. ‘melting pot’ ears, these could be tribal, economic, linguistic, geographic, class, education, age, gender, and yes, race.
In traditional settings, the elders have to bless that marriage, welcome the person, and ideally have the families mesh together and be on the same page.
Inviting foreigners with vastly different backgrounds on almost all those axes, it’s a pretty tall order to ask everyone to change those attitudes. And saying one family should close their eyes and do it for the sake of the country while their neighbors hold out for a ‘suitable’ match is going to be tough. The demographic ‘time bomb’ has been a known issue since the 80s and people are still resistant to change.
At some point, though, realities catch up.
My bet would be it would take a generational turnover and a few years of popular sitcoms normalizing it.
