They don't really care about the effect on pirates, it's all about being able to sell the illusion of stopping piracy to suit wearing idiots.

Every android phone I've had had a one-press 'Emergency' underneath the 0 on the lock screen, is it not the same for others? (although I'd argue that is too easy to hit)

Honestly, the most surprising thing is that they managed 6 successful dives to titanic before it failed.

I was 11, and handled the 'samples' at a BNFL booth (at an airshow) where a geiger counter was set up, it wasn't til the demonstration guy returned and demonstrated to someone else how the coin-sized samples set off the counter that I realised it wasn't a 'self service' type demonstration. The samples were labelled with their atomic symbol, and the most reactive samples were labelled as uranium (about 20mm diameter) and plutonium (about 5mm diameter). At the time I told myself they were likely fake, since leaving a plutonium sample lying around wouldn't be very likely.

I've not died of radiation poisoning or cancer yet, but it's only been 41 years.

There's also $HOME/.local/share for 'static data files' as part of XDG.

Russian stooge stooges for Russia. What a thrilling development.

"We've all seen bands that stay on the stage too long"

Yes, indeed, KISS have been at least 6 of them.

Also a loudspeaker pops up from the centre of the bonnet and starts screaming 'pedophile!' at every driver who doesn't respect elon's authoritay

This makes lemmy more usable than kbin for me

As coffins go, it's pretty.
