Looks like this is a list of manufacturers that allow bootloader unlocking. If you want to install a custom ROM, you first need to unlock the bootloader. Note that carrier branded devices of these brands may still have a locked bootloader. The example I’m most familiar with is the Verizon version of Pixels… I always by the carrier unlocked version of the Pixel to ensure an unlocked bootloader.

If you’re buying packaged stuff, buy it in the hard plastic containers, not the soft plastic bags. The hard plastic protects it much better during transit, and can easily last a week for me before getting soggy and gross.

They kinda sorta reversed course on that.

Following a discussion in our team we want to clarify that we are no longer requesting moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification in the context of violent crimes when the crime in question already happened. We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

On the floor of a closet in a cheap hotel. With the closet door closed.

First of all, how is the bite wound doing? Cat bites (and scratches) can transmit some very nasty stuff, and it’s often recommended to see a doctor ASAP. I had a bite a few years ago that resulted in me getting IV antibiotics.

In terms of winning the void over, patience is key. Let the cat lead any future physical interactions. You can offer your finger for it to sniff, and when it decides it trusts you, it will rub its cheeks against your finger. Talk to the cat in a calm voice. Just talk about anything, read to it, etc. Look up “slow blinks” and learn how to read the movements of its tail. If it’s tail is flicking, back off. Jackson Galaxy is a great resource.

Have you been able to check it for a microchip? Have you checked to see if it has a human family that might be looking for it?

Is this one of those times where someone intentionally makes an inaccurate statement (title) in order to increase engagement?

“Heavy water” is water molecules where the hydrogen atoms have an extra neutron, and pure heavy water is only about 10% heavier than regular water. Also, not something people should be drinking a lot of.

I’ve heard that some apps may make it a little too easy for some users to accidentally up/down vote without realizing. I’ve definitely caught a few accidental votes myself, so I’m not sure how many more I didn’t notice. Also, totally random anecdote, but the pockets in my “house pants” have a weird fabric that combined with the on body detection to keep my phone unlocked sometimes allows my thighs to “butt dial” if I put my phone in my pocket with the screen facing my body, and I’m sure other people have similar stories about accidental inputs, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

That’s kinda what I assumed, but say the parent lives in a state with filial responsibility laws, but the child doesn’t. Can the child still be forced to support their parents? A brief internet search suggests maybe, but these laws are generally not enforced (except Pennsylvania), and also usually take into account the child’s ability to support the parent.

Just seems pretty fucked up that someone’s parents could move to State B with these laws to retire, and suddenly their kids, who have never lived in State B, are potentially being held to State B’s laws.

Any clue how those laws work if parent and child live in different states?

My employer offered me a modest severance package, and set my last day to be the first working day of the month, meaning my health care benefits are valid for almost a full month after my last day.

Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American

Close, but not quite. One thing I notice a lot around here (Lemmy/fediverse) that suggests many users are elder millennials or older, is the frequent use of 2 spaces after a period. I don’t really notice as much of that in other online communities.

My current phone game is ∞ Loop. Just a simple puzzle-type game.

I also like a variety of solitaire card games, but the app I used to like has become quite enshittified, and I haven’t found a good replacement.

My oldest is pretty cuddly, but only on his terms, so I’m always excited to curl up on the couch or in bed and enjoy some snuggle time. If I have the energy, I might do some play time with the wand toy or some clicker training with their favorite treats. If I’m feeling more lazy, just tossing treats… They love chasing them!

I think they’ll let you know what they want. I definitely feel you on the urge to go over the top with spoiling them, but what they probably appreciate most is just having you back. I’ve come to realize that most of my efforts to spoil my cats are more about me than they are about the cats.

Ahh, going to the Google news webpage on my phone does give me quite different results compared to when I swipe left from my phone’s home screen.

I feel ya. Currently trying to figure out how to get out of upcoming holiday travels since dragging them along won’t be an option.

I guess I also look forward to the extra affection they give me when I return, and usually try to plan for a “decompression” day (or at least half day) as soon as I return so that I can take full advantage.

I have gradually set up cameras all throughout my home so that I can peek in on them whenever I feel like it. I also just avoid leaving for extended periods and/or drag them along with me.

Interesting. I mindlessly swipe over to the news feed on my Pixel more than I’d like to admit, and it only gives me horoscope type stuff very rarely… Definitely not frequently enough for me to bother trying to block it. I wonder why you’re seeing so much more of it?

I’ve been using whatbox as my seed box for nearly 10 years now. I’m on their USD 15/month plan, and they’ve upgraded my storage & bandwidth twice now in that time without increasing my costs.

Can anyone recommend some stable general purpose instances that federate with dbzer0? I believe lemmy.world defederated, as the link doesn’t work for me. I had a kbin account, but that seems to be dead, and I’d like to minimize the number of accounts I have to use to access things.
