Waldowal@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump fires both FTC Democrats in challenge to Supreme Court precedent7·4 months agoThe laws don’t seem to matter. It takes too long to enforce them and then the damage is done. Afterwards, Trump pardons whoever he needs to, or calls it an “official act” and no one pays for it.
This will be how our government will work for the foreseeable future. There will be a “cold war” on which administrations can weaponize this the most.
Waldowal@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you guys read programming books? How do you make the most out of it?4·7 months agoYes. I find it very difficult to get a complete knowledge of something just reading random articles and playing with it. For me, one of those giant books intended to document every little aspect has always helped fill the gaps, and take my working knowledge up to expert level. It’s getting harder to find those kind of quality books though.

Waldowal@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any one else have absolutely wild dreams?51·7 months agoUsually no, but the last 2 days, yes. They have involved very accurate plays of songs I don’t normally listen to (which I can’t remember ever dreaming about before). The first was “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton. I was in a bar and it was being played. Heard every note for about 30 seconds. There was a guy in the band whose role was to suck smoke out of a dish with a slab of dry ice in it and blow it into a microphone.
The second song was “Only the Lonely” by Roy Orbison. I’ve maybe heard this song 3 times in my life I think. But it seemed note perfect. The situation was I was hanging out with 3 people I called The Performer, The Guy, and The Lonely. The first two guys had to leave and… cue the song.
EDIT: cue… thanks SpaceNoodle

Waldowal@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the worst movie that you enjoy watching?16·7 months agoA recent one: Ernest Saves Christmas
Almost every line of this movie gets quoted around my house all year.
Waldowal@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which celebrity were you sure had already passed away but has not?31·8 months agoJohn Astin (Gomez from The Addams Family)
Simple and tasty: 3-4 chicken breasts. Pour a jar of your favorite salsa over it. Cook.
When ready to eat, shred the chicken, put it back in pot and stir it up with the salsa. Awesome tacos, burritos, nachos, chicken sandwiches, etc.

Seems like if she’s interested, she might invite you in for a drink or coffee next time you drop your kid at their house. If she’s too shy, maybe you offer next time she drops her kid at your house. If she stays in her car as little Billy runs up, that’s a sign she’s not interested (or just busy at that moment).
I also like the idea of offering to take the boys to a movie or something and inviting her. But she may just want to see a movie, so that’s not a total green light. If she grabs your dick during the movie though, that’s a pretty good sign.

Waldowal@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Programmers of Lemmy, what are your interviewing horror stories?12·9 months agoImagine if you just had to scroll down to get to the other options like “Does not describe me”, and they are still talking about "The biggest psychopath we’ve ever interviewed - just out of morbid curiosity. "
Waldowal@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion ClinicsEnglish13·9 months agoSome additional info based on their published material (screenshot below). The software gets its data from “publicly available sources” which includes tracking information from many different online advertisers, public social media posts, etc. As we know, the advertising data can sometimes have your personal info attached - sometimes not. Babel Street claims to anonymize the data, but let’s assume there is a $$ amount at which they won’t.
So, theoretically, if you can successfully avoid ad trackers, and you don’t post on social media platforms except where you want to be “seen”, you can avoid this tracking (granted that seems quite impossible these days).
