Here's a list

This one runs on a server and you access it in a browser. You can install a kiosk browser on a tablet so it can't be backed out of or closed. They have a test version you can mess with.

Intellectually disabled teen shot by Idaho police dies after being removed from life support in c/news@lemmy.world

I had active shooter training at work. They brought in this cop who said we should have our head on a swivel at all times! Bro, I'm more worried about getting crushed by a forklift or falling off the scissor lift, or losing a finger or some shit. We are not in an active warzone (yet).

They're mad that they got taken to court over a credit default, so they're trying to come up with some mental gymnastics to get out of it.

They are trained to fear everything and everyone. They live in a paranoid fantasy world where everyone is out to get them. They are brainwashed into thinking they are the only thing protecting societal collapse. I've seen a cop post an image macro that says "police are more virtuous than superman because they protect people without having superpowers." Of course that guy is also a white christian nationslist.

Check if your library has access to libby. Or get a free library card from one of the big cities that does. You have to "check out" the books / audiobooks and they don't always have everything.

There's different sound voices for older games based on which sound card you have. The music sounds completely different between some of them.

Probably shouldn't fly a nazi or confederate flag.

Preferably:

Available on Libby

Nonfiction

Not a biography/autobiography

Not a self help book or pop phychology

The narrator isn't annoying/breathy

How would you set up a loaner google tv box? (library as an example) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm looking into setting up android tv boxes or sticks for a charitable organization to loan out to people or possibly for their locations.

I have an ONN box with f launcher, button remaper, smarttube, etc.

I'd like to set that up and then when it comes back the hardware reset button can just be held down and revert to what I set up without going back to the out of the box state.

I think I'm looking for custom recovery partition or something like that.

Which project would be best for a local community hub? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Mastadon? Lemmy? It would probably have to be standalone so people would't be turned off from the content from the rest of the fediverse unless there's a way to prevent federated content from showing on the instance. Just a place to post local news and discussions, maybe a place to sell secondhand. I live near a huge college with a major cs program, so I should be able to get users.

Only getting video output from the motherboard. It did this with Budgie on top of stock Ubuntu and with the Budgie "flavor" freshly installed.

I have an Intel A310 in an HP prebuilt, so that's probobly the issue.

If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

The inside of a snowman could be warmer than the outside. (sh.itjust.works)
 

If you built a snowman during the day the snow only needs to be below freezing. It can get colder that night or the next day by quite a bit. The exterior of the snowman would be colder than the inside even though they're both frozen.

I Replaced the headlight bulbs on the car today. (sh.itjust.works)
 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
