What's the purpose for this? How often are you microwaving that you're concerned about interference? Have you actually noticed a measurable drop in speeds when microwaving?

~~Nope. If I recall correctly all other interventions failed, so this was a hail Mary that happened to work~~

I can't say everyone does, but I absolutely do. I like making someone feel special and good about themselves with my lil lie

If you can afford a bunch of guns there's no chance in hell you're getting approved for a public defender. Good luck anon

You can't outrun a bad diet. Food — not lack of exercise — fuels obesity, study finds in c/health@lemmy.world

There was another comment I replied to earlier that summed it up pretty well, so I'm just going to paste it here.

Of course it's that simple. It always was. Purely technically speaking. Reduce calories in whatever way and probably even exercise to some degree. No magic needed.

It's just not that easy for everybody equally. Some just can't regulate themselves well, some take drugs that fuck your weight up even if you'd just eat a slice of bread daily, some can't exercise at all, some are too poor to buy non-shitty foods (especially in horrible food-anarchy-countries like the US where sugar is legion), and some simply don't know better or don't understand.

You saying "is it really that easy?" Is survivorship-bias. You succeeded where millions(?) fail. But congrats anyway 😁

Adopted Plants (infosec.pub)
 

Hey there! Hoping for some help. I've never really owned plants, but my best friend is moving out of state and gave me 6 plants she didn't want to throw away. 4 of them are looking pretty rough. They are a ponytail palm, a monstera, a euphorbia Trigona, and mystery plant. They are all getting what I think is medium light? In my apartment, which has a north facing sliding glass door and windows, and they have all been being watered once a week. They also have been getting "miracle grow tropical house plant food" once a week, except for the euphorbia which has just been getting water. Any tips to try and save these lil guys?

Hey there! Hoping for some help. I've never really owned plants, but my best friend is moving out of state and gave me 6 plants she didn't want to throw away. 4 of them are looking pretty rough. They are a ponytail and a monstera, and two mystery plants, one being some sort of cactus I think. They are all getting what I think is medium light?

Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars (denvergazette.com)
 

I hate this news story. If I wasn't living in this community (Douglas county) I would think it's a good story. However, Douglas county has massive NIMBY policies, including outlawing everything that would allow someone experiencing homelessness anywhere near here. No homeless shelters are legal, no sleeping outside is legal, hell even weed stores are illegal in this massive county, despite it being legal in the majority of the state. Douglas county also created its own health department in protest of mask and vaccine mandates. It's a very affluent deeply conservative pocket in Colorado that makes me sick.

Corporate astroturfing is the norm (lemmy.world)
 

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

YouTube: 5 ads the norm now? (lemmy.world)

For context I'm in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they've increased in quantity by 150%. It's also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an hour long. What the actual fuck, why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point? It's literally unwatchable

Edit: the amount of unsolicited advice in the comments is unreal. I don't get ads on my phone or on desktop, I'm very aware of how to block them. I simply won't watch YouTube on my PlayStation anymore. I'm not looking for suggestions, please stop with the recommendations.

Happy Thanksgiving brothers (lemmy.world)
 

I don't have many people to celebrate with. Part of getting older is celebrating alone, which is sobering and a change of perception. If you're reading this, I hope you're safe. I hope you're with family that loves you, I got you have a friend.

The world seems dark, but it truly is safer than ever. Don't give into the media my friend. We're truly in a golden age of information sharing, which makes life terrifying but lucid and evolving.

Play Store Astroterfing (lemmy.world)
 

Has anyone else noticed that the Google Play store reviews are suspicious?

Like, you find a scam company or app, and every review you scroll through is 1 star. And yet the reviews claim 95%+ are positive.

Is there a way to prove it? I've noticed it for 3 years now, I no longer think it's a coincidence. Something scummy or scammy is going on

Is there no way to report ads? (lemmy.world)
 

Lately I've seen some... Questionable ads, to say the least. Is there no way to report these ads on sync?

If there is, am I just dumb and blind? Or is it easier than it seems?

It feels like early Reddit all over again to me, hopefully I'm wrong
