I read it as, relative to the other created dates, this hasn’t had as much time to prove itself. Longer time with no incident does say something to me, even if this is of little weight compared to the other rows.

ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto politics •FBI shuts down corruption group, fires agents after they monitored GOP lawmakersEnglish2·10 days agoAnother president fond of coup d’état and authoritarianism! That was a fun read for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Óscar_R._Benavides
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto Technology•Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in stateEnglish2112·14 days agoI don’t recall being given the option to vote on this.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions•whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders?English2·21 days agoI use the coffee grinders at WinCo regularly in AZ. I’m surprised to not see many other comments saying so! They also have a fantastic bulk section. I hope it never goes away.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto Privacy@programming.dev•Police drone tracks Walmart theft suspect in real timeEnglish1·22 days agoShooting buckshot over residential areas? Police will forget the theft and be all over the shooter in no time!
From Wikipedia: Shotguns have an effective range of about 35 m (38 yd) with buckshot, 45 m (49 yd) with birdshot, 100 m (110 yd) with slugs, and well over 150 m (160 yd) with saboted slugs in rifled barrels.
These drones fly at the end of shotgun range. Even if you only need to damage a propeller it doesn’t sound very effective. I’d sure like to try, but shooting my 12ga in town is a strait path to jail.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto news@lemmings.world•JD Vance admits groceries and housing are too expensive but bizarrely blames BidenEnglish4·23 days agoJD Vance is a whiney little bitch and a liar.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy•USUAL in your country but NOT anywhere else.English2·23 days agoAre you calling non tippers the assholes, and not the business owners or practice of tipping in general? Tipping is out of control and a stupid obligation as it is currently being used.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto News•Supreme Court will weigh expanding Trump’s power to shape agencies by overturning 90-year-old rulingEnglish2·27 days agoTypical, but not required! If it was required they would probably write bullshit anyway, but this is not even the minimum of standards they are trying to uphold. A supreme joke of a court.
I have been reading through this book on the matter: The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14894629-the-half-has-never-been-told
The descriptions of violence toward slaves is heavily discussed and is quite eye-opening to me, since this is not the version I was taught in school!
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto A Boring Dystopia•BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said America could dodge a ‘retirement crisis’ by encouraging people to work longerEnglish21·27 days agoYou are ignoring the propaganda and corruption these folks experienced their entire lives, in a time where media was even more tightly controlled than it is now. This generalization and attack on an age group (not mine, I’m millennial) misses the entire point in my opinion. Getting mad at boomers is not in any way helping, especially as it relates to this article. People have been fooled their entire lives and I feel bad for all of us.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto A Boring Dystopia•BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said America could dodge a ‘retirement crisis’ by encouraging people to work longerEnglish1·27 days agoThe young people will be the new boomer scapegoat soon enough. The latest generations are not immune to propaganda and corruption from politics.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto Not The Onion•FCC Chairman Says His “Easy Way Or The Hard Way” Comment About Jimmy Kimmel Wasn’t Meant As A Threat To Pull Licenses If ABC Didn’t Fire HimEnglish23·27 days agoAny other insult around the facts of what he said or did would be much more helpful than this.
Sure, I just can’t help but imagine how I personally would react if this became common for all patients.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto Fuck AI•Reddit Wants 'Deeper Integration' with Google in Exchange for Licensed AI Training Data - SlashdotEnglish9·27 days agoHowever, Reddit executives have noticed that traffic coming from Google has limited value, as users seeking answers to a specific question often don’t convert into becoming active Redditors, the people said. Now, Reddit is engaging with product teams at Google in hopes of finding ways to send more of its users deeper into its ecosystem of community forums, according to the executives.
What does this even mean (I’m afraid to know their suggestions)? So I check reddit for an answer if web search is failing me, and they’re going to somehow trap me there? Tease an answer and not show anything until I sign in? Idk but sounds like I’ll be using “-site:reddit.com” more and more, or realizing I dont care enough to get the answer!
I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else…this is pathetic.
Nothing in the image itself, but someone else posted this link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/tear-gas-protesters-broadview-ice/
Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during President Ronald Reagan’s term. (Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune)
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto Hardware•Microsoft insists Copilot+ PCs are 'empowering the future'English1·29 days agoI turned off copilot in the outlook settings and the UI refuses to remove the icon. The icon flashes in full color, next to other things I use, before then going grey/disabled, but its impossible to remove it. So it shoves it in your face every day even after you already learned how much it sucks. Fucking worthless software and UI design going on at Microsoft.
How can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn’t take it anymore. Those were the days!
Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.
ShieldsUp@startrek.websiteto Fuck AI•Amateurs Using AI to “Vibe Code” Are Now Begging Real Programmers to Fix Their Botched SoftwareEnglish7·1 month agoMy experience exactly, from the last 3 companies ive worked for! And now there are no job advancement options internally because the openings have moved to India.
A specific number does not matter to rate it relative to the others. I actually use proton, but 8 years doesn’t seem like much either way.
