This doesn’t pass a sanity check.

A mechanical handle that actuates when deflected 30 degrees can trip a microswitch at 10 degrees to slightly open the window.

I’ve seen three designs for purely mechanical flush door handles in production use:

• A handle with a central hinge where one side is pushed inward to make the other side stick out to be pulled. This design has been used on aircraft for many decades, and has also made its way to a few cars.
• A pull-up door handle with an additional flap in front of the access area. This was used on the Subaru XT/Alcyone/Vortex.
• A handle that pushes in to open, usually found on a portion of the door that’s more horizontal to the ground. Used on the C3 Corvette, among others.

The push-then-pull central hinge is probably not a great choice for the application because its operation will be less obvious to a rescuer trying to get the door open quickly. It’s still better than something that requires electronics.

The rental cars in question were, in fact Corvettes. Corvettes are still using them.

After renting a couple cars with electronic door poppers, I find them plainly worse than mechanical door latches. They’re a solution in search of a problem, and some implementations are hazardous.

This Angelfish?

I put PostmarketOS on a spare device recently. PostmarketOS describes itself as currently being in a state suitable for Linux enthusiasts to try out, not for wider use. That seems about right to me.

On the fun side, it’s proper desktop-style Linux. I can SSH to it from my laptop. I can compile software on it. I can run programs that have no business running on a phone. On the not so fun side, the cameras barely work, data over USB doesn’t work at all, and battery life is not good. Desktop Firefox on a phone screen is pretty bad. Rumor has it there’s some support for Android apps, but I’ve been looking at Waydroid’s splash screen for a long time now with no progress.

Reddit has that, and the ability to follow a user and get notifications when they post. I’m not sure it’s widely used there, but I think it would be a decent feature to add to Lemmy.

Lemmy doesn’t have a concept of a post that isn’t attached to a community. It’s probably possible to post to Lemmy from Wafrn by tagging a community as it is with Mastodon.

You can follow Wafrn users from Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, etc…

In the medical sense a therapist treating someone for pedophilia would use the term, you’re correct. In a colloquial sense, Epstein was a pedophile.

This is so dumb, how could anyone at the FCC even humor such a request?

If you were 22 and they were 25 no one would care. It’s 3 years.

Try moving that in the other direction though; I expect you’ll eventually find pairing that makes you uncomfortable.

There’s the half your age plus 7 rule, but it doesn’t really work if you are under 22.

Doesn’t it?

• 14/2+7 = 14. It’s questionable for anybody under 14 to be in a romantic or sexual relationship even if the other person is the exact same age.
• 16/2+7 = 15. People tend to mature rapidly in this age range, so dating someone much younger is sketchy.
• 18/2+7 = 16.
• 20/2+7 = 17.

These line up with my intuition for the age gap being acceptable, not something that should raise eyebrows. A little outside that becomes a warning sign. A lot outside that is almost certainly abusive.

Grey area. The suggestion that it’s pedophilia is silly given they’re close in age, but a 3-4 year age gap when someone is 16 can be pretty significant; I’d consider it a warning sign.

Early Reddit didn’t have those either, so I suppose it’s a proto-Reddit-like. Nookie does look better.

How? Is the mouse reliant on their servers to operate?

It’s not the first.

This is basically the same as Apple’s notarization scheme for direct app installation on iOS in the EU. I do not believe the EU has sued Apple over that yet, and they’ve had plenty of time to do so.

That’s true but not useful.

It’s probably better to describe both ideologies as extreme-authoritarian or totalitarian. They’re about equally undesirable; when someone has a boot on your throat, it doesn’t matter much whether it’s the right boot or the left boot.

I suspect the appeals are also largely handled by an automated process. It’s the same kind of experience people have when they get banned from Facebook or Youtube.

I think they outsource the sitewide moderation, and much of it is automated, relying on signals like your IP address and the behavior of your web browser (assuming you were using it on the web). It’s more likely their bot thought you’re a bot than a human didn’t like your opinions.
