That's Kirk and Spock in the background.

It might be hard to tell, but that's Scotty under all that blonde hair.

Youth loneliness is cured by Adults going into the office in c/linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works

I'm in the office right now, and 99% of my meetings are through Teams.

My favorite days to be here are when everyone else is somewhere else.

What are you talking about? I'm wearing pajamas and a cape right now!

What's a really popular TV show you just couldn't get into? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago

No. I read the books and watched the TV show.

Please put the name of the comic strip in the title so I can filter out the unfunny ones.

Just suck up each grain individually with a straw.

What are your favourite open-source apps this year? in c/android@lemdro.id
[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Are you using syncthing-fork on android? If I remember, the primary app discontinued android support, so someone else took it over.

I use it routinely for thousands of files. It's easier than digging out a USB cable.

Syncthing/Syncthing-Fork. Simply the best cross-system file synchronization app. Peer-to-peer, no cloud storage.

https://syncthing.net/

Scrcpy (Screen Copy). App that mirrors your Android phone to Windows. When I switched away from a Samsung phone I lost the ability to run an app from my phone on my PC desktop. This restores that.

You should know there's an effort in Congress to ban ranked-choice voting on federal elections. (www.congress.gov)
 

I expect this to have broad bipartisan support and to pass with little opposition.

President of what? Bolivia? The PTA? I don't get it.

Cyberpolice.

Why is audio track volume normalization always awful? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You need a program to calculate Replaygain and update the tags. Then make sure your player settings use the Replaygain during playback. Replaygain just adds a tag and doesn't change the audio in any way.

I use Foobar (because I've used Foobar forever), but I'm sure there are programs dedicated to Replaygain calculations.

The ‘Great Dying’ wiped out 90% of life, then came 5 million years of lethal heat. New fossils explain why in c/science@mander.xyz

There is a sliver of hope: The rainforests that currently carpet the tropics may be more resilient to high temperatures than those that existed before the Great Dying.

There is a sliver of hope (/s).

Fixed it for you.

To deny tax deductions and other Federal funding for the costs of gender transition procedures. (www.congress.gov)
 

The bill itself is unsurprising and uninteresting. What is interesting is the title and description written by the bill's sponsors (Claudia Tenney R-NY, Dan Crenshaw R-TX).

"To deny tax deductions and other Federal funding..."

These congressmen think tax deductions are Federal funding. If they did not think this way, they would have left out the word other in their description.

A BILL To prohibit the delivery of opioids by means of the dark web, and for other purposes. (www.congress.gov)
 

Dark Web Interdiction Act of 2025

Here is the text of a bill introduced to Congress (US), ostensibly to combat the trafficking of opioids over "The Dark Web". There's a nice definition of "The Dark Web" at section 4.

I like the part where it says people are using "The Dark Web" both within the United States and "at the international border".

H.Res.395 - Establishing a "Bill of Rights" to support United States law enforcement personnel nationwide in their work to protect our communities. (www.congress.gov)
 

Do these people in Congress actually think like this? Or are they aware they're just being performative?

To require drug testing for special Government employees, and for other purposes (www.congress.gov)
 

Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the head of each agency shall require any special Government employee in a sensitive position at the agency on the date of the enactment of this Act to be entered into a random drug testing program in accordance with the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs.

In 50 years, history will speak about ICE the way we speak about the SS now.

TIL that Fort Bragg isn't named after a Confederate general anymore. It's named after a private from WWII who's claim to fame is having the same last name as a Confederate general. (en.m.wikipedia.org)

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says her job is to be more than just an ‘activist’ against Trump - mlive.com (www.mlive.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://midwest.social/post/24838879

“I get it that it makes people feel good to see people yelling,” Slotkin said. “But not one of those words is stopping the actual things that Donald Trump is doing.”

Perhaps it's not working because of people like Slotkin willing to continue the losing strategies of the past.
