Trump and 18 others charged in Georgia election inquiry
  • Keep in mind the Republicans are evolving beyond Trump, and this New Right is a real threat.

    Case in point, that story earlier this week about Republican thinks tanks funding anti-education, anti-trans, anti-race mixing efforts, which stokes their culture war in ways that have and will continue to provoke real people to act in violent and harmful ways.

  • I always thought it would be great if there was a rom you could flash that just opens every up on an old phone so you could use them as project computers.

    How many of us have a drawer full of old phones that we keep with the intention to one day use for something?

  • How do I keep my fence from settling so much?
  • Now that I take pics I see the latch side is leaning, which makes sense, since the whole fence is probably settling and pulling it.

  • How do I keep my fence from settling so much?
  • Now that I posted these I realize that latch side post is leaning. There's a whole fence on that side, so I wonder if it's getting pulled by the others settling.

  • How do I keep my fence from settling so much?
  • Yes, wooden posts set in cement. Not sure how deep, because it was new construction, so I didn't do it. It seems weird that it's still settling, but we have definitely been having insane weather swings since it was built, that we don't normally get.

    Austin IS prone to foundation issues because something about our soul isn't great... I'm in an area that isn't too bad, but definitely has some issues.

    It does sound like we're going to have to reset those posts deeper.

  • How do I keep my fence from settling so much?
  • Theyre all wooden posts, set in cement. I don't know how deep though... We hired someone to do it. They are definitely moving vertically, but I don't think there's any wobble from side to side... The latch is locking, and it's about two inches tall, but it is always in line in the y axis, it just goes off up and down. Not sure if it's both sides moving, but I know the gate is now also hitting the cement holding the opposite post.

    Pics would help for sure, I'll get some tomorrow.

    How do I keep my fence from settling so much?

    I'm in Austin Texas. We installed a fence three years ago and the posts between the gate door have shifted about four inches. This makes closing the door a pain in the ass, as the latch quickly becomes misaligned. A few times a year I move the latch bracket down to align it with the other part of the latch. My fence post is full of holes, and along with the constant slamming necessary when it gets out of line, it has started splitting.

    How do I end this cycle? How do I keep it from moving so much?

  • Nothing to add, but this is a wildly distopian thread.

  • Life always finds a way. We need more people to post pictures of their plants and gardens.
  • I'm in Austin Texas. We got this guy around mid spring and it was bright pink. We've tried full direct light, bright indirect, half and half, putting it indoor and outdoor. It's pretty much all green now. How do we get that pink back?

  • What are some useful skills or hobbies that anyone can learn for free?
  • Since I've begun "trying" in the kitchen, I eat way healthier than ever before, and most of my meals are better and cheaper than restaurant equivalents.

  • What should we do about Threads?
  • I think we got to a point in corporate comms where everyone decided we have to post at a regular interval, even when there's nothing interesting happening.

    This feela like a good time to revaluate what we do on social. I have thought about standing up an instance, but realistically we have our internal Teams that employees use... So they wouldn't use it, and I can't imagine myself subscribing to a bunch of company instances, so it seems like it's an effort for nobody.

    That said we often put on community events like hackathons. I think situations like that are perfect for posting on our cyber security servers.

    Less white noise trash is better.

  • That update for the swipes
  • So... I'm using Connect on Android, but I just learned I can swipe here too, so thanks.

  • What should we do about Threads?
  • I was recently asked by my employer if we should move our social media efforts to fediverse and my recommendation was that this community it's both too small and also would be hostile (rightly) to corporate empty posting.

    As soon as threads has a web interface that's usable I will be starting up there...

    You put your recycling in the blue can, compost in the green can and your corporate garbage on Meta.

  • Best Lemmy client for Android?
  • I keep getting errors when trying to visit new communities. Definitely growing pains, but its much more full featured than the rest, from what I've seen.

  • What are the cybersecurity weaknesses of the Fediverse?

    Most of us are Reddit refugees, and probably clicking more random links than we ever did before on websites we've never seen before. This whole experience feels like the old internet, but also throws up insane red flags with a modern internet perspective. What are the cybersecurity weaknesses we should all be looking for, and what are the best practices?

    Here's my reason for posting this. As I search for new communities across instances to follow, I sometimes end up clicking a link and I'm no longer logged in. In the corner, that could be a Sign In link or it could be phishing. It's likely due to me not understanding how to properly navigate this system, but there's nothing stopping someone from setting up a sight like this as far as I know.

    Thoughts?
