How would one search whether one's phone deets were leaked?

What's this? The architect of the 1994 crime bill who helped the Dems get elected on a platform further right than the GOP on policing and prisons is pro-police? Huh. TIL.

Ghostrunner 2 is 80% off for $17CAD and runs great on the deck. It looks like some of the best speed swordplay vibes from Cyberpunk and I'm stoked to play it.

Also picked up Rage for 5 bucks.

I'm not speaking in absolutes here obviously. But it's pretty well established that a very small fraction of people who take drugs (prescription or otherwise) become what we term addicts. There are lots of affluent addicts and alcoholics (I know plenty personally) but just because they have access to medical and mental health care doesn't mean every one of them will go there.

You don't see a lot of upper middle class people end up on the streets with heavy addictions because they can usually get into rehab, get help processing whatever it is keeping them down, and move on with their lives. Lots of poorer people can do so as well (the poverty and "success" porn content out there is easy to find) but for every one of those success stories there are thousands who never make it. I don't think it's hard to parse that poorer people have less culturally acceptable means of getting help (if they don't outright end up in prison for simple possession to begin with, which I'm guessing those peers you're referring to seldom have to worry about).

The thing a lot of people get backwards (fuck the war on drugs actually) is that hardcore addiction is virtually always predated by some type of undiagnosed and untreated mental health issue. To say that another way, mental health issues are not caused by taking drugs. When someone is very unwell and often poor (i.e. low or no access to medical and mental health professionals) they often find a way to self-treat the affliction(s) with street drugs. Those same underlying causes for a more affluent person will be dealt with alongside medical supervision (and often with the same class of drugs) without falling into the trap of addiction (because supervised, and supported).

Nothing cool about being a drug user by choice, nor an addict trying to cope. It's just reality.

I don't have any personal experiences with any of these crew finder sites but I know lots of people who've used them. The catamaran designer I *apprenticed under met his wife through one. She had no prior sailing experience but was willing to learn, and he needed crew to do a Caribbean crossing, and that's how the story began for them like 25+ years ago. They still sail together all over the world.

The other advice is good too. Just walk the docks and ask around. People love talking about their boats.

This kinda describes where Linux has been at with sleep/hibernation for quite a few years. I don't understand the deeper implications but it's never seemed like a priority for Linux devs, vs how Windows and Mac have solved it long ago. Maybe because Linux hasn't traditionally focused on portable devices but arm (etc) seems to be changing that.

Title. It seems excessive. Even when I fully power it down it tends to drop a lot more than I'd expect.

Thanks.

Litter? (www.petmd.com)

Why is a group of baby kittens called a "litter" and then the same word is flipped to denote the stuff they pee and poop in, throughout their lives if they live indoors? 🤔

Have been thinking about this for a couple years. I have old phones kicking around. Battery shot, hardware dated, but the camera(s) and mic and antennas still work. Would be cool if there were a way to set them up (powered) to stream audio/video or even take stills at intervals (or motion-activated) and then sync the content to the rest of the devices on my network.

I don't know how complex the programming for something like this would be. But I suspect it's trivial for those who do know.
