Can't wait for the upcoming NYT op-eds: "China is killing the diamond mining monopolies: but at what cost???"

Yes, I use android studio and test on a read device via wireless debugging. I used to try to use the internal emulators but they have a lot of problems.

You get full logcat logs sent from your device when you do that, so it makes errors easy to find.

It should show an error, not just a debug line, if it's failing to open. I'd recommend just using a real device instead of an emulator.

I'm not sure if anyone's got it properly working with an emulated device, because you'd need to enable and then select that ime. I always just develop on a wifi connected device.

Saying that Biden raped a woman, would've gotten you banned from reddit (and the liberal lemmy servers) just a few months ago. The liberals dropped #metoo faster than a rock during election season.

Bill gates should be next:

According to the article, Bill met with Epstein on “numerous occasions,” including one visit that spanned hours.

“His lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing although it would not work for me,” he emailed colleagues in 2011, after his first encounter with Epstein.

Totally agree. She's been consistent in her support for Israel over the years, so it's been annoying seeing ppl defend her most recent vote.

We get far too many genocide-defending pissrael posters from other instances to be lenient towards them. Pretty much every site besides a few leftist ones like ours lets them set up shop and run wild.

We refuse to give genocide and genocide apologia a platform here.

I imagine its mainly a matter of 1) expertise, and 2) priorities.

  1. The detectives who are actually good at solving crimes get burdened with hundreds of cases, then suffer from burnout and retire early like a lot of professions nowadays. Then the people who come to replace them have no experience, have to learn from scratch, and the cycle repeats.
  2. Solving murders (especially when it involves poor people getting murdered) isn't profitable, and isn't prioritized as much as revenue-generating activities like drug busts, traffic ticketing, and getting poor and homeless people into the court and prison system. Like its probably <1% of cops of any given larger city that work on and know how to solve crimes like murder or theft. Cops are the hired goons of your city's capitalists, protecting their property is what they're paid to do.

My car got broken into when I was in highschool, and I learned the lesson that US cops aren't going to help you, and probably don't know how to solve even simple crimes like petty theft. It gains them nothing to help you, and that's not what they're being paid to do.

Every theatre piece needs a foil, and playing the controlled opposition is the main function of the US democratic party.

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.
