I'm kind of shocked that you feel like you can confidently claim you know this guy's condition and the cause of him not receiving proper care when you had to be told to call 911 for someone fucking convulsing on the ground.

You really tried to sneak that past by front loading with that tangent, lol.

There's a decent handful of conditions beyond brain trauma that can lead to convulsions. Unmedicated epilepsy is a pretty obvious one. Supposedly withdrawals from certain illegal substances as well. Hope the guy is getting help now.

And ask any hospital worker, one of the most frustrating parts of care is that people can and do just walk the fuck out.

I'd look for old apks for it on places like apk mirror, then look into pulling the assets out of the apk file.

If you're lucky, the music is just sitting in the apk in some standard format like mp3, wav, or ogg.

Likewise, someone else mentioned there are PC versions. You could check for those on various abandonware sites.

You can mitigate (but not entirely stop the technique) by WhatsApp Settings, select Privacy, go to Advanced, and enable “Block unknown account messages.” and also disabling read receipts.

You could also uninstall the app and see if your battery usage reduces, or check in your phone's battery usage statistics for WhatsApp using a lot of it.

Oh god, you don't have any reading comprehension either.

Edit: I told you to read the room in another comment, not the one you responded to here.

"Reading the room" has nothing to do with "laws", lmao. Neither does suggesting better places to post your drivel. You can't possibly be this stupid.

You're free to ignore people telling you to fuck off and post dumb shit like this. We're free to continue to tell you to fuck off.

You're also free to be a drooling idiot trying to claim that the group that doesn't want this shit here is somehow "crying" about it or whatever the fuck you're trying to use as an insult. I see a bunch of people coming together to post the type of shit they want to see, downvoting what they don't, and telling people why.

You're welcome to leave the comm, or create your own one if this space is no longer what you want out of it.

I'm done here. I've got an actual toddler to deal with instead of your concentrated attempts to be one.

Man, fuck Capcom for that shit. Couldn't even be assed to release the fucking demo that was effectively complete. That shit better leak someday.

Sounds like someone's butthurt that other people don't want politics here. Lashing out like this post instead of being able to read the fucking room is pretty childish if you ask me.

Look, if you want some place to post politics, there are countless spaces on lemmy for it.

If you want some place to post nearly anything, 4chan's /b/ could use some more content than endless "share images from social media you wank to" threads. They'd also be far more receptive to your shitty attitude too. But considering you couldn't figure out how to post this without downloading an app, you might just be too stupid to figure it out.

A big part of the shift from lemmy to piefed seems to be that piefed has a faster development cadence, and that the developers of lemmy are openly tankies.

The flagship Lemmy instance, as in ran by the devs, is lemmy.ml. The ml stands for marxist-leninist. The lead dev regularly bans people from the entire instance for so much as questioning Chinese and Russian ~~propaganda~~ news sources, and they have many many other very controversial takes. There are some comms across the fediverse that document a lot of this, like !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

From a sticky there, the lead dev Dessalines denies the Tiananmen Square massacre and praises the Uyghur genocide.

So far as I'm aware, the piefed devs haven't been involved in any drama, and aren't posting hardline shit about their political beliefs either.

I do sys admin/engineering work in a Windows environment. PowerShell is what got me this job, and together with my programming experience allows me to keep up with my seniors who have been in their positions for a decade or more.

It also helps us all make a good team. They have the knowledge and experience advantage (though I'm catching up), I have the skills to figure out how to implement/automate the plans in a way that doesn't involve days of mind numbing manual actions.

Unfortunately, yes.

You're looking at AI upscaling as a shortcut to the end result you want: your book. But from experience, jumping to the end of something robs you of the joy and accomplishment of doing the hard work to get there.

Instead ask if the book really needs illustrations. If it does, wouldn't taking the time to do them right be better? It would also give you more time to revise the other aspects of it.

If this is something you're passionate about, don't douse water on that fire by cheating to the end. If it's not something you're passionate about, why do it in your free time to begin with? If you think you'll somehow make money off it, you'll have plenty more hurdles to go through that can't be AI'd away. If it's just a passion project, use that fucking passion.

I understand the intense desire to just be great at something without putting all the effort in. But there really are no shortcuts to this shit. The main advantage that other people have over you on this is that they started earlier, so they have more time put into it already.

If your friend group doesn't let you use proxy cards, they aren't your friends.

I was checking if you were one of the accounts that gets made and spams 10 news/political posts in it's first day of existence (I block those).

You aren't, but for fucks sake you commented on one of the anti-news shitposts last week. You know that plenty of people don't want this sort of shit in the shitposting comm.

 

Honestly? That's rookie numbers.

 

Definitely a repost, but it fits the season

My daughter is a little over two, and through well meaning family and friends we have more toys than we know what to do with.

My wife keeps buying what are essentially (fancy looking) big boxes and just dumping everything in them. Love my wife, but that's not working, it's just hiding some of the mess in a box.

We end up with these hardly ever opened boxes full of unorganized piles of toys that we end up having to dig through to find anything specific, and the toys that my daughter is actively using just end up scattered around the floor so they don't disappear into the box dimension.

Every once in a while my daughter opens and digs through the boxes and dumps half the contents on the floor anyway (not like she can see specific things to grab what she wants) and then we just kind of arbitrarily choose some of it to put back in the box and a new combination of mess to leave out.

Unfortunately we have another baby on the way, so I'm probably not getting my wife to let us toss any of it right now.

I'm leaning towards cubby shelves with individual bins for different "types" of toys like her daycare does, but I wanted to hear what strategies other parents tried, and what has and hasn't worked.
