Teacher accused of having sex with two students says she ruined her 'dream job' with stupid 'mistakes', jury hears
Notice how it says "having sex with" instead of "raping" because she is a woman.

Would Lemmy Benefit from Implementing Polls?
Its a good idea, but how would that work with federation? There is already an issue with the number of upvotes on a post differing between instances. Would polls have the same problem or no?
Edit: now that I think about it, polls are already a thing on Mastodon but I don't know if they have these issues or not.

the encryption keys, why can't the government just sneak on them?
You are describing symmetric encryption where both parties have the same key. There is something called asymmetric encryption that solves this. Basically you have a public key and a private key. You can give your public key to youtube, they can use that key to encrypt the symmetric key that will be used for the actual communication. The only way to decrypt the symmetric key is by using your private key, which is only known to you. So youtube can safely send it to you so you can decrypt it. Now you both have the same key and nothing was sent unencrypted.
Well your public key was sent unencrypted but that's fine because of how asymmetric encryption works.

Bad naming practice. CheckSuck implies it only checks and returns the result. Everything the function does should be included in the name to avoid confusion. Call it SuckIfUnsucked or something

Can you trust locally run LLMs?
LLMs are not different from any other type of software. Is there a privacy policy you can refer to? Can you monitor the network to see of it is trying to communicate with anything? If you want to be sure, just block internet access. This seems to be open-source so you could also just search for the phone-home code and remove it if it exists.

I'm going insane
This is actually really interesting and I think about it every time I look in a large mirror. IIRC it is because the mirror is always "halfway" between you and your mirror image. So as you step back your mirror image gets further away and looks smaller, but so does the mirror.

Nothing I can find. The latest release has a "breaking changes" section but that is nothing unusual. All software has breaking changes from time to time and should be addressed by your distro maintainers.

what's going on with bud light?
They paid Dylan Mulvaney (a trans woman) for a sponsored instagram post and sent her a beer can with her face on it. Conservatives got mad because they are giant bigoted babies. That's it.

This little gadget to find out which type of USB-C cable you have
Reply in thread
Loads for me. It is a video of a small device with a screen. Both ends of a usb-c cable are connected to the device and the screen shows the max power, max data speeds and other information about the cable.

How did a raccoon knock out power for large swaths of downtown Toronto last night?
A raccoon was behind the massive power outage that knocked out electricity to some 7,000 customers in downtown Toronto for hours Thursday night.
Hydro One said a raccoon “made contact with equipment” at a downtown station, which cut the lights for parts of the city. The raccoon's condition is currently unknown

Real Virus protection 😂
Covid was not the deadliest virus in history and nobody made that claim. It was however contagious enough to create a pandemic and sufficiently deadly to be a big problem.
Those masks don't protect the weather and are not meant to. If you want to protect yourself you would use a N95 respirator and some kind of face shield to protect from water droplets. But you would obviously not mention that because then this meme would not make sense.
