Syncthing for Android discontinued
  • treadful treadful 7h ago 100%

    Damn, this is actually critical for me. I use it to sync photos, files, and password vaults between my devices.

    Kind of wondering if it's worth getting into Android development now...

    Maybe initially. But long term, if people get into weed through a legal market, they have no reason to engage in the black market, which provides access to lots of other drugs you can OD on.

  • The FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Program Has a New Target: Animal Rights Activists
  • treadful treadful 13h ago 100%

    Their rationale, from the article:

    The bureau has floated the idea of charging animal rights activists under a statute prohibiting biological weapons, a subtype of WMD, the records show. This may include toxins, viruses, and microorganisms used to deliberately spur death and disease.

    Marceau described this focus on agroterrorism as an effort to pin blame on activists for the rampant disease outbreaks on factory farms.

    I find this hard to believe it would fly in court. Unless it's true of course, which seems unlikely. Animal rights activists releasing a disease to kill livestock (and maybe start a pandemic) seems illogical, but not everything animal rights extremists (if that's what these people are) do is always logical.

    It could just be the FBI gathering intelligence in an area they expect violent extremists to arise. Same way you might track militia activity. Doesn't make a ton of sense to me but the FBI has had a big fear of animal rights activists doing extremists shit for a long time.

  • What is the food eaten in Close Encounters during the infamous mashed potato scene?
  • treadful treadful 3d ago 100%

    Very likely to be "chicken croquets." They were all the rage in the late 80s and early 90s. The were also likely be paired with mashed potatoes and corn.

    I remember them being great as a kid but I really have no interest in trying them again.

    It does not provide enough information to make a rational decision with. Especially when that's the entire focus of the article.

    Even the level of detail in your post would have been an improvement, even though it's still significantly lacking.

    If you want to take advice from vague blog spam that's your business. I'd prefer not to.

    What I hate about this, is that every time it comes up, nobody ever really goes into details of why. What is no longer safe? What breaks down? Or is it updated standards? Just fucking get into the reasons so people can make rational choices, instead of just saying "trust me bro."

    Does that even help nearsighted people? The screen is literally an inch or two away from your eyes. There's nothing to focus on.

    I've never noticed much of an issue seeing in VR games, though I'm not uberblind either.

    A nationwide blackout. A broken economy. A widely contested presidential election. A populace terrified of its autocratic leader and his increasingly violent security forces. What’s a president to do? Declare the early arrival of Christmas, of course. Facing widespread domestic and international criticism over his claim that he won a July presidential vote, President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela is trying to turn the nation’s attention toward the one thing almost every Venezuelan loves: Christmas.

    Boar’s Head Provisions Co. recalled liverwurst because it may be tainted with the listeria bacteria, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. The agency said a sample of Boar’s Head liverwurst from a Maryland store tested positive for listeria. The company is also recalling deli-sliced meats made the same day on the same line as the contaminated liverwurst at a Virginia plant, the USDA said. The sample was from an unopened package, collected by health officials as part of an investigation into the listeria outbreak.
