Try tap.
Did it instantly turn on? No?
Try hold.
Now you turned it off, maybe.
Fester@lemm.eeto Global News@lemmy.zip•USA | Trump threatens to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China on first day in officeEnglish23·5 months agoCool, a Trump sales tax. Will it bring manufacturing jobs to the US? No, but it’ll help offset tax cuts for rich people by shifting some of the tax burden to poor people for 4 years and give them cover for downsizing.
Then when we elect a corporate-friendly Democrat to undo some of the damage in 2028, corporations can just lower prices by 5%, claim a win, and enjoy another collective price gouge. Fake inflation taught us that consumers will just suffer through their bullshit and blame whoever’s in office.
Then in 2032… another fascist can do tariffs again.
What a great country.
Fester@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump nominee caught 'not being honest with transition team': analysisEnglish10·5 months agoAre you telling me someone who is paid to lie to everyone lied to someone during the process of being hired to a job where he will be expected to lie everyone?
Fester@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Trump's transition team turns to Project 2025 after disavowing it during the campaignEnglish49·5 months agoThat’s always been his plan. And it’ll happen because these Heritage Foundation ghouls will run the government off-camera while Trump and his reality TV cabinet distract us with fights and absurd sound bites in between his golf rounds.
Fester@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump picks former WWE executive Linda McMahon for education secretaryEnglish18·5 months agoThey confirmed her 81-19 for administrator of the Small Business Administration. That was dumb but they were ok with it then.
She was on the state board of education in Connecticut for a little over a year under their last GOP governor. So I guess that’s some experience at least. Totally qualified to run education for the entire fucking country.
🔥 This is fine. 🔥
The real danger is what Heritage Foundation ghouls will be running the show under her, and the other cabinet members. All these clowns are just the people Trump wants in the room with him. They don’t need to be qualified or do anything but kiss his ass on camera. It’s the Project 2025 deputy-weirdos we should worry about.
Thank-you?
You.

Fester@lemm.eeto Apple@lemmy.world•Getting some weird screen glitches with new M4 Mac miniEnglish1·5 months agoI had a similar problem with my last monitor (with a Windows PC.) It would randomly flicker vertical lines, and those lines would show a “ghost image” of something that was on screen when it started. I think it had to do with its variable refresh rate, as it often seemed to happen after gaming or tabbing from full screen to the desktop. But I could never find a reliable way to replicate the bug.
I could always temporarily fix it by running a “stuck pixel” video in full screen for 10-15 mins, like this: (seizure warning) https://youtu.be/-2eQhhMvi-U
It wasn’t really “stuck pixels” but it seemed to blast the problem away for some reason. Could’ve been coincidence though.
If it’s a variable refresh rate issue between the Mac and monitor, you could also try turning Adaptive Sync off if you don’t need it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102144 And also disable it in your monitor’s onboard settings if you do turn it off or already have it off.
I went through a few different GPUs over the years with that same buggy monitor, including the GPU I have now. I since upgraded to a new monitor, and this one has not had any problems in the 6+ months of using.
So I’d hazard a guess that it’s the monitor. Try the pixel video if it happens again or messing with Adaptive Sync. If it doesn’t work, try other similar videos. Maybe it will help.
Fester@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump pledged to roll back protections for transgender students. They're flooding crisis hotlinesEnglish654·5 months agoYeah this is fucked up. Imagine being targeted and demonized by half the country and our entire soon-to-be government, while our “left wing” candidates and pundits just treated you like political hot potato all year. I especially feel for kids whose families don’t even support them. Hope these hotlines stay well staffed at least…
Fester@lemm.eeto Videos@lemmy.world•Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38]English19·5 months agoMy oven has gas burners in the top and bottom of the oven, and a tiny fan in the back for convection bake. The wee fan is meant to help distribute heat evenly throughout the oven. Convection is meant for baking multiple trays on both racks - it spreads the heat evenly throughout.
The air fryer has a big fan right behind the big heating element, which sits a few inches above the food, and blasts heat directly onto the food.
Similar components, but entirely different results.
Your comparison is rightly dispels the misconception that any “frying without oil” is happening though. An air fryer is closer to an oven, convection or otherwise, than it is to a deep fryer and pan-frying with oil. You just won’t get the same speed or results with a convection oven, though. They’re different designs.
Is the pear tree included? Do I get one pear tree? 12 pear trees? No pear tree? This might be a dealbreaker, so take your time answering.
Fester@lemm.eeto PC Gaming@lemmy.world•Trump's Proposed Tariffs Will Hit Gamers HardEnglish732·5 months agoI love how Trump fans and big brain swing voters are trying to justify their vote for tariffs by making it about slavery and jobs. They never cared about slavery before. And it will not just affect gaming - it’s probably going to wreck all tech, appliances, reliable vehicles, everything on Amazon, SHEIN trash, etc.
FYI: Tax cuts for the rich + tariffs = it’s a fucking sales tax.
Manufacturers will not build factories in the US to avoid tariffs. They will downsize and hoard wealth for 4 years until a corporate-friendly Democrat is elected to undo just barely enough of the damage to avoid riots.
This is just a grift to shift more of the tax burden to the working class. Trump fans will gobble it up anyway.
I want off this ride.

Now the richest man in the world is just going to be walking around the White House, tugging the government’s leash on full display.
Fester@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Trump’s win could accelerate the privatization of MedicareEnglish4·5 months agoTry to be optimistic. Maybe you’ll just need to be sure to smile at your grandma when she visits you in prison while you’re serving your 10-year slave labor sentence because you didn’t scroll past that transgender furry porn fast enough.
Fester@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Trump’s win could accelerate the privatization of MedicareEnglish22·5 months agoIf that info is already out there, you can’t get it back. Deleting your account won’t remove it from some other data broker’s server too. You can clear out one copy of it, maybe, but not the 1000s of others that were sold already.
Remember those racist mass text messages from… yesterday? How the fuck did someone know all those phone numbers belonged to black people specifically? And how did they get access to them? What other data do they already have? Everything is for sale. The fact you deleted an account is for sale. We are fucked.
Everyone is about to find out why privacy is important.
