I honestly didn’t realize how the fdroid deployment worked, and now I’m gonna be way less skeptical of apps I see there.

What about an African drone?

Could a 5 oz drone carry a 1 lb coconut?

This post was just a couple below for me, ironic: https://lemmy.ca/post/53325803

This is the point that I think a lot of people miss. Yes, people will still have unlawful access to guns, specifically those who don’t care about laws in the first place. But I would just about bet my house that since guns in general are so much harder to get there, that it’s also harder for said criminal (or aspiring criminal) to obtain one.

Plus it’s barely the criminals doing mass shootings (speaking as an American), it’s usually some depressed white dude who just happens to have access to a firearm that they’re not qualified to operate. The gangs and criminals that have weapons generally speaking, only use them on each other (accidents and exceptions obviously occur).

The question is how does America, in its current firearm saturation, hit the same goal. I think it would take a generation for all the guns from legal owners to be turned in or recycled, because most don’t want to give them up. If the government immediately required special permits and only allowed for specific uses and types of arms, there would likely be a legitimate organized revolt from gun nuts.

I’ll try it out, don’t like the icon as much haha.

That’s sad. I’ll keep using it until it stops functioning. Don’t like my cheese moving unless it has to

I just uninstalled Reddit and installed Sync for Lemmy. I’ll still end up on reddit occasionally from a Google search result or something, but I don’t go there intentionally.

The good “creators” to follow for news generally provide a summary in Tiktok, then if you want to verify or learn more they have additional information and sources in their other locations (substack is a big one)

I can generally tell if it’s AI generated, and if I have any suspicion then I try to find other reports and real sources via Google searches and whatnot. Like I didn’t believe the gold trump statue, or the trump and Epstein statue were real.

There’s a great deal of real news that goes through the app. It’s the majority of the content I see.

That’s how it should be then. If it’s down literally every day, maybe people would begin to realize how frequent they are.

Who am I kidding, they dgaf

Meanwhile in KY, our governor’s decisions (like to make conversion therapy illegal) get vetoed

Thanks, I hate it

The gravel one is gonna have some stupid loophole, like it’s one pebble a day, but infinite and free.
