Nomad , to No Stupid Questions in what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine?

Don't use much heat, that will destroy them. Just throw them in at 30C and add a cup of white vinegar. It keeps the smell away even if they get wet again. Dry them quickly when finished.

Have been doing this for years, no problems so far.

Electing a fascist is rich America's privilege, no? I'm speaking of trump just to make that perfectly clear.

Nomad , to Ask Lemmy in If you use an app without wifi or cellular data, does that shut down the telemetry and tracking or does Apple handle that on their side so it can't be dodged?

It stops the communication home for as long as you keep it that way. As for the tracking: data points can still be collected: the Apple location network works entirely by Bluetooth low energy for example. As soon as the app is online again it will send that collected data home and big brother can reconstruct your history.

So if you only care about real time location tracking, that's solved. But not of you care about long term secrecy.

Being next in line to be invaded by Russia helps keep the insane voices down I guess.

Most people I know are afraid of foreigners stealing their peace and property and enslave their daughters and shit like this.

It's people that prosper so long they don't know any real threat and keep imagining one. Queue the far right stoking those fears.

The fins got some real problems and it unifies them.

Nomad , to Technology in So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career.

Reminds me of a production bug we could not replicate for the life of me.

The condition could logically not be reached. impossible.

Turns out, in production we had two threads per process, and one would monkey patch a function in the shared process space with a non multi threading safe locking mechanism.

That took several days to find.

Nomad , to Android in On Google pixel, is there a way to search ONLY locally when searching apps?

Graphene OS is a de-googled veraion of android you can install via a simple website. It has the exact feature you are looking for.

Nomad , to Ask Lemmy in Alternative to bad parental advice: "Stand up to bullies"?

Exactly, the adult world has the same authorities you can get them in trouble with. Just call the police, their employer, spouse or mother and tell them how shameful their behavior is.

I love those speeding aggressive work trucks that have the employers phone number right on them.

"I'm sorry to bother you: so who of you employees is currently usingg that van? You might wanna have a talk withe them."
