Android lets you set custom alarms. The best one I have is a recoding of me screaming into my phone to “get the fuck up”

Until the engine warms up, I can’t keep the windscreen from misting up in the winter. Especially if it’s frosted on the outside!

…how do you demist your cars?

If you go into the windows notification centre there is a focus button that handles that for you I think.

Tried to answer, but it got very convoluted, here it is anyway as I typed it out…

Because that’s a less useful metric basically, to change their budget a government can:

• increase existing taxes
• add completely new taxes
• print money (depending on the level of government)

This means that a budget can swing quite a bit in value quite quickly if needed (or if something goes wrong). This means the % could swing quite widely.

GDP on the other hand is effectively the value of the economy, so moves slower and is a better metric to compare different countries with different economies and tax systems (assuming they tell the truth about their GDP…)

Ultimately, if a government needs more money, most of the time it can get it… But whatever they do will have side effects. But those side effects depend on the size of the economy, the bigger the economy (measured by GDP) the more can be done/taken without causing a large effect.

Both of these fail to highlight countries that already have a high tax load though, so in practice a wide range of metrics will be used.

Still not showing anything from Lemmy right? I guess upvotes don’t convert to boosts? I tried favouriting the post, does that make it show?

And their bedtime brew (with vanilla and nutmeg) is the best decaf I have found too!

Isn’t this functionality already built into the default web UI?

But when you have a problem, you complain to your representative that represents your area and knows all the details. That’s a powerful thing.

In the UK at least there are a lot of seats that are swung by those holding them rather than their party.

That way still ends up with candidates that you didn’t vote for though, the ranked choice method means you always have a vote in each round.

In any round though you only have 1 vote still, it’s just collecting the votes ahead of time? The only thing you lose is knowing who is in each round in advance?

In your example, wouldn’t the same candidates have been knocked out in each round regardless?

More than 1 million cubic kilometres of lava. Enough gasses to cause a mass extinction event.

Ugh, life took ages to get started. Lazy bacteria!

It’s still a hell of a long time if you consider that the entirety of recorded (ish) history is only a few thousand years long.

Updated comment to remove an order of magnitude.

It’s not X turning into Y when it comes to evolution. There were all kinds of different dinosaurs, that evolved I to all kinds of different niches. Most of those then went extinct due to rocks falling from the sky, or the entirety of India turning into a huge volcano etc.

So it’s not that a T-Rex turned into a chicken, it’s that T-Rexs lived alongside other dinosaurs that developed feathers and filled more niches etc. those that survived eventually became birds. (Have you ever seen an Emu up close?!? No wonder the Australians lost to them 🤣)

Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge. Also, remember this happened over (billions? hundreds of millions) of years.

Other comments about just not noticing feathers are valid too.

A) discord

B) make friends with one person that does this or plays with other groups, then join them when they are playing with others

oooh, ty

they just send a OTP to your email with the idea that you should be keeping your email secure (and that email providers are more secure than they can be)

The whole site seems like a PoC - the accounts don’t even have passwords! (I could actually kinda get on board with this)

You can probably get the URL for a companies SharePoint pretty easily, but you need a login. You are able to get a PAs credentials through a phishing link etc but need the 2fa code.

You do the IT phishing attack (enter this code for me to fix your laptop being slow…), get them to enter the code and now you have access to a SharePoint instance full of confidential docs etc.

I’m not saying it’s a great attack vector, but it’s not that different to a standard phishing attack.

You could attack anything that’s using the single sign on. Attack their build infrastructure and you now have a supply chain attack against all of their customers etc.

It helps but its not enough to counter the limits of human gullibility.

It requires the bad guy to go to the page and ask the user to enter the code the bad guy gets
