Oh I see, thanks. I didn't understand what OP meant by Wi-fi Direct, I was thinking it just meant going over the LAN via the router. So I guess this means a device making itself into a wi-fi hotspot with is own local IP address that can be connected to directly, right?

Try KDEConnect (or GSConnect for gnome). Clients for Linux, BSD, Android, Sailfish, iOS, macOS and Windows.

Another option (maybe better, depending on your distro) is Warpinator. Linux, Windows, and Android.

It would be much more effective if he "took over" Israel instead of Iran, since the "agreement" stipulates that it is dependent on Israel stopping its attacks on Lebanon.

Not just no but Hell No.

As I understand it, you can't just real a url from the code and enter it into your browser. You have to have their app installed on your phone to read it with, which then somehow sends to google to unlock the page. So obviously the code contains the IP address/fingerprint of your desktop and/or a code linked to that instance of the captcha page. The purpose is so they can link your desktop browser to your phone = to your identity, for the giant database. Linking all the devices you use to your ID has long been a goal.

Instead of separate dedicated shape tools, in gimp you use the appropriate shape of Selection tool to create the shape(s), then you either add the fill and/or border of the style you want, or use 'Stroke selection' to choose from various draw/paint tools/styles. So for a circle you use the Ellipse Selection tool.

You can use any of the transformation tools, including Rotate, on the selection vs the image contents --you choose the tool option for which thing you want it to apply to. You can drag or enter a specific number.

(this is just information for anyone who wants to know how to do the things you mentioned. I'm not interested in talking about how good or shitty the programs are or comparing them)

I think it must have started back when Twitter first came out and tweets could only have 140 characters, so posting an image of text allowed people to have longer amounts of text. Just a guess.

But since then, I don't know. I hate it too! It's so stupid.

OK well, maybe if we ignore the images and just read the text we will find valuable information!

In my small city (midwest US), it used to be very common for the cops to shoot people's dogs. It must have been a fun sport for them--they'd just say the dog charged at them and that was it. It would happen at least once every couple months or so.

Until one day about 15 years ago, when a cop responded to a house alarm in the middle of the day. Apparently the lady didn't realize it was armed or didn't get it turned off in time. She had a small poodle which ran out into the yard barking and the cop immediately shot it dead, as per usual. Except oops, there was one problem. It was a judge's house. It was a judge's wife who witnessed the callous killing of her harmless pet poodle, not just your average citizen this time.

And thus ended the dog-killing streak in my city.

omg that bottom 'finger' ...

There's a looooong thread on mobileread forums about how to do this. Amazon changed their ebook format a year or two ago to make it harder to remove the DRM, but someone usually comes up with a new way to do it every time Amazon tries to foil them.

This is the thread I have bookmarked -- I haven't kept up with it all since I quit Kindle back when they removed the "download & transfer" option to let us save our own purchased property. But I think their newest format has been figured out now, so if it's possible to do, the instructions should be in that thread.

That fucking wormy-brained piece of shit.

You left out the best part:

According to Rome police, the department received an email listing Greene’s home address and saying a pipe bomb had been placed in her mailbox shortly after 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6. The email initially went to a junk folder and was not seen until Monday at about 9:30 a.m.

From the article:

Although a host of eyewitness accounts and video camera footage recorded Mangione’s movements before and after Thompson was killed in New York City on Wednesday, police said they were unable to locate him until a McDonald’s employee identified the suspect at a Pennsylvania franchise nearly a week later.

They should have said "the suspect's movements" or "the shooter's movements". Not "Mangione's movements". They are already presuming guilt by saying it was Mangione who was recorded. Newspapers used to be careful about doing this. I think they can be sued for defamation for this, can't they?

This thing about them not getting the promised reward needs to go viral so in the future whenever someone's thinking of turning someone in to get the reward money, they'll know they're highly unlikely to get a damn thing.

Quote of Zelda from the article:

“You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”

Perfect description.

No heads will roll. What most stories miss is that the main reason they didn't use official channels for this (and most likely many of their other conversations as well) is that they don't want to comply with the Federal Records Act. They don't want there to be a record of a lot of the shit they're saying and doing and plan to do.

I'd say it's because during Biden's term he was running a fairly basic administration and during the run-up to the election, inflation was something they (repubs) could use to rile up the base, but now not only is the election long over, there's so much new horrible stuff every day (both real and made-up) in the spotlight that inflation pales in comparison.

One mistake Temu is making is showing it as "Import fees". That's correct of course, but they should label it specifically as "Import tariffs" or "Tariffs", so that it's clear what this is. From the comments in the linked reddit threads, a lot of people just think they're extra fees Temu is voluntarily putting on as retaliation, their brains still aren't making the link between "import fees" and "trump's tariffs on China".

“Damn that’s wild because I voted for you to have zero tariffs and a $50K tax break as a small business owner under Kamala,” reads the top comment under the video.

One of the best comments because it's true and he can't dismiss it as people being mean or reveling in his pain, just stating reality.
