Technology@lemmy.world•As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled MonstrosityEnglish
18·14 days agoExtended security updates are available. This can be activated for free using Microsoft Activation Scripts.
Microsoft tech support has been repeatedly caught using these scripts to resolve support tickets for license issues. (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-support-cracks-windows-for-customer-after-activation-fails/) Also, the open source MAS code is hosted on Microsoft-owned Github, so they are appearantly not very concerned with people taking advantage of this exploit.
If you go this route, please also see the FAQ entry here. There is currently a glitch with commercial ESU keys (which this uses) and Windows Update will continue to claim that your device will no longer receive security updates. This is also effecting W10 LTSC systems. However, you can verify that the license key is active through Command Prompt and instructions are given in the FAQ.

111·21 days agoFYI, Microsoft Activation Scripts has a method to activate extended security updates on Windows 10 machines. This should give you at least another year of updates.
E: It appears that this gives an extra 3 years of updates. I’ll be trying it out tonight on my last W10 machine.

World News@lemmy.world•Russia is tracking two satellites used by the German military, defense minister saysEnglish
11·1 month agoI don’t think this contradicts their point. Firstly, saying something is a concern is not the same as saying there are no other concerns. It’s not an exclusionary statement.
Secondly, I would expect that every country with these capabilities is tracking every satellite they can find. Of course this is going to include adverserial nations.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there something like LinkedIn, but without big tech involvement, no data collection, no ads, open source, and preferably decentralized (maybe Fediverse or even P2P)?English
3·1 month agoThis is the first time I’ve heard of Scuttlebutt. Thank you for the introduction.
For your multiple-device problem, I would suggest trying Syncthing. It allows you keep folders synced between devices over a local network. I use it for a very similar application to what you are describing:
Logsec is a journal/note-taking software that stores each entry as it’s own markdown file. I use it on my phone, laptop and desktop, and want to have all my notes synced between devices. I could put the folder of markdown files on a cloud server, but choose not to. Instead, I setup a link between each device’s Logsec folder through Syncthing.
Now I can add or update notes on my phone when out in public, and when I return home and reconnect to my WiFi it automatically updates the other devices on the network. Also, when editing the markdown files on my desktop, the updates are synced to my phone nearly instantaneously.
I expect this method would work very well with Scuttlebutt due to it’s similar offline nature.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•‘Who builds a ballpark next to a gun range?’: Coach injured by gunfire that crossed into baseball diamondEnglish
12·1 month agoI’ve already posted a video of a complete trajectory reversal. Maybe you didn’t watch it, but otherwise you’re being stubbornly ignorant choosing to completely ignore video evidence. Also, a 1/2 mile really isn’t far for something moving over 3000 ft/s. It’s clear you’re not speaking from an educated position on this topic.

33·1 month agoMy point is not that heavy volume is required for this to happen, and it’s strange how you could jump to that conclusion.
Instead, a higher rate of fire gives more opportunities to witness anomolies between shots, within a given time. Combine this with tracers, and now you can easily follow these paths, before and after each bullet hits it’s initial target.
With a 6000 round-per-minute minigun, even if you only see one tracer bounce away every second, that demonstrates a 1% chance for every round to deflect and hit somewhere unintended.
Considering that the tracers are normally spaced out on a belt, with other rounds between them; the sample size can be reduced further, and this chance becomes multiple times higher.
When yearly machine-gun shoots were still hosted in Knob Creek, Kentucky, the range staffed people left and right of the firing line with fire extinguishers. After the ‘finale’ occurred and weapons were cleared, they would run out onto the hills beside the range.
With multiple miniguns firing alongside other automatics, and the insane number of rounds fired downrange, it was inevitable to have more than enough hot tracers land in the brush of these hills to start multiple small fires.
The possibility of ricochet injury is simply matter of probability. Sure, I would never claim this is the most probable explanation, but it’s silly to claim there’s absolutely no chance this could happen.
I started writing a response earlier, but quickly realized how hard it was to research strapon and chastity use while at work. 😅 Now that I’ve had time to look into a specific term for this, it appears to be “reverse pegging”.
Given the way you defined your personal root for the term pegging, it sounds like reverse pegging may still fit this mold. Personally, I feel it requires much more submission from a man than regular pegging and has a larger power-dynamic swing.
Anal penetration can feel great for both sexes; however, even more so for men due to their prostate. This combined with the ability to still stroke yourself while receiving anal leads to amazing orgasms. However, by reversing who wears the toy, and restricting actual penis use through chastity, you eliminate both of those sources of pleasure. Also, there is an opportunity to use a larger toy than the man’s own penis (because why not), and this can add an extra layer of humiliation/kink. Meanwhile, the woman can get pleasure from any possible penis shape/size, which can also remain hard indefinitely.
I feel that “reverse pegging” takes significant submission from the man, while the woman holds control of the power dynamic (and quite possibly the keys to his cage). Alternatively, I see vanilla pegging as an opportunity for the man to receive extra stimulation, while their partner forgoes penetrative pleasure. It’s hard for me to understand why men would be opposed to extra stimulation and intense orgasms, so I don’t see much (if any) sacrifice.
I’ve always used the term “pegging” regardless of the genders involved and never gave it much thought. You seem much more schooled on these subjects so I was curious how other power-dynamics may factor into meeting the word’s traditional meaning. I appreciate the new perspective, and hadn’t previously considered how using a strapon without coming “outta the box with a meat rod” would also be such a major influence on one’s perceived power in the bedroom.

33·1 month agoIf you’ve seen tracer fire in real life, I doubt you would keep that position. The fact that a falling bullet traveling at terminal velocity is enough to kill or injure someone, combined with the fact that bullets travel for miles would instantly tell you otherwise. Watch tracers fired at night and you can see how frequent ricochets are when hitting a mix of rocks in dirt. The last video I shared already demonstrated that complete trajectory reversals are even possible, not that this is even required in this circumstance.
The baseball field is only about 1/2 mile from the range backstop (about 22% of a 5.56 bullet’s maximum range). All it would take is a rock plowed up into an inopportune position on the berm to set off a freak accident. Now, as I’ve said in another comment, I absolutely don’t believe this is the most likely explanation; however, to discount it as an impossibility is ignorant.

51·1 month agoI agree that fuckery is the most likely explanation in this case. However, ricochets do not need to remain at a constant height or velocity to hurt someone. A round bounced backward and arched just enough to clear the treeline would be enough. I’m kinda shocked an outdoor range would be allowed this close to those fields. Regardless of physical danger, imagine concentrating on playing ball while gunshots ring out in an adjacent lot!
Just curious: would you still not consider it pegging if the man’s penis was locked in a tiny chastity cage and rendered unusable when they use their strapon on a woman?

They did!
