- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 1 day ago:
Using hot water beforehand was what caused my irritation. I had a dermatologist recommend using a tri-head electric razor before showering with a dry face. I bought one for $50 a few years back and it’s been a night and day difference for me. I used to get pretty bad skin irritation, despite doing all the suggested things. It’s not as close of a shave, but my skin is a lot healthier. I’ve seen some people say they’ve benefited from only using cold water when shaving, but dry shaving has been the best route for me.

Your problem is likely washing your face before shaving, especially if you’re using warm/hot water.
This was a big problem for me as well. My problem was the fact that my face was wet while shaving or was washed before hand, which caused a lot of dryness and irritation. I was recommended to use an electric Philips Norelco tri-head razor, and use it BEFORE showering while my face was completely dry. After showering, your face is too dry from the heat. The shave isn’t as close with the electric as it is with a regular razor, but it’s pretty close and I no longer battle with the acne from shaving, which is well worth the tradeoff.
Regardless, it may be good to see a dermatologist anyway, but that’s what worked for me and was recommended by a dermatologist.

Microsoft isn’t mentioned in the text, but the 3rd citation is a reference to Microsoft: Microsoft to Launch Much Awaited Cloud Server Farm in Israel in 2021
Separately, I did a quick search: Revealed: Microsoft deepened ties with Israeli military to provide tech support during Gaza war
In recent years, documents show, Microsoft has also provided the Israeli military with large-scale access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 model – the engine behind ChatGPT – thanks to a partnership with the developer of the AI tools which recently changed its policies against working with military and intelligence clients.

Of course their not sure. This is an internet forum. The account being gone must mean it was deleted. Honestly, she was probably getting so much bat shit crazy messages, she deleted it herself. That makes the most sense.

It’s also incredibly inconsistent, at least now that they’re pushing more and more towards powershell.

I’ve had issues with the installer from 24H2 for my unattended. I had to use the previous versions installer and installed the 24H2 ISO.
- Comment on Is it safe to travel with your phone right now? 4 weeks ago:
I appreciate the info, I think that’s good information that I hadn’t fully thought through (but probably could have figured out had I thought about it). I’m not too interested in a Pixel, and the unlocked bootloader is really only useful if someone has my physical phone. My hard drive is encrypted, of course, so my thought as to a way they could gain information if they modify the bootloader and let me decrypt the phone for them. I wonder if the only next best thing is to basically have an alert, or refuse to boot, if there is a change in the bootloader detected, so I can do a clean install.
Most manufacturers don’t allow re-locking of the bootloader unless it’s official Android, so it sucks the only other option would be buy from Google.
I’m interested in what you say about the forensics kit. What could I look for to find more info?
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 5 weeks ago:
It’s pussy shit, sure, but you only get one life. You don’t get another chance. You may feel like shit for leaving, but you’re alive and not in a prison. Which, if you ask me, I’d rather feel bad than be dead.

It removes it from Chromium, but there’s nothing stopping them from manually adding it back before releasing it. Though it would be a lot of work.

I have a motorola running LineageOS and it’s available on mine. Seems like a relatively standard option, though it may need to be enabled under Settings -> System -> Buttons (or whatever it looks like on your flavor of android).

- Comment on Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday? 1 month ago:
I didn’t say there weren’t some forms of generation that didn’t involve steam. I’m just saying those pathetic puny sources will never amount to the energy produced by generating steam. The sun won’t always shine, and the wind won’t always blow. And there’s only so many places you can capture flowing water. And even the most effective forms of solar use solar thermal to make steam. We just have to admit that steam is the GOAT

Seriously. This punk thinks he can have any form of serious power without steam. What a chump

What are you talking about? You’re way off base, and completely unreasonable. It’s so typical of you people that I have a generalized baseless belief of. What about this other person that has nothing to do with this? Do you agree with them, too? I bet you also hate soldiers defending our country, and probably kittens too.
- Comment on Trying to find a game I remember... 3 months ago:
I find AI to be really good at this kind of stuff. If you give it as much detail as you can, including random tidbits, it can often find exactly what you’re looking for. I’ve done it a few times, and it’s always found it with, what I believe, was not very good information. If it doesn’t give it to you, just keep adding random pieces of information.
What you’ve provided doesn’t quite seem like enough, because I tried it and didn’t get much luck. The best it came up with was The Silent Age. Try answering these questions:
- Was there narration
- Was the protagonist male or female
- How long ago did you play it? Like, was a game from 2 years ago too recent?
- Are you confident it was from the last 10 years, or did you just play it from the last 10 years?
- If it was point and click, were there normal animations? Like the character walking over to the thing you clicked?

Google in Russia has been inactive since 2022 after the search giant effectively pulled out of the country following Putin’s special military operation.

They didn’t start with that fine, it was just compounding interest
The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.
And regardless, Russia can’t block Google’s operations in Russia because Google isn’t operating in Russia since the war. Russia is trying to fire Google when Google quit 2 years ago.

The most popular games will likely continue to get pirated, all this will do is guarantee that some small vintage games are lost to time.

Even worse. I’ve checked out digital eBooks and digital audiobooks from my local library. And I listened to those audiobooks for FUN. The AUDACITY!
Audacity is what I used to record those audiobooks so I could listen at my own pace, btw.

May I could check out a paper copy of those bits, would that be okay? Then it’s not a digital copy
- Comment on Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books 5 months ago:
I answered your question on another thread of the same topic, but I’ll answer it here too for anyone else who has the same question: The law is just about digital backups. Vintage stores are still legal, and if anything this would boost sales at a vintage stores. If the game you’d like to play is unavailable at a vintage store or on eBay (or wherever else) then it will be entirely inaccessible for you to play legally.

As someone who may or may not have stripped DRM from library books, they certainly never seemed to care about that. And it was never even to share, but rather to store for myself so I could read it at my own pace. And the worst part… I read it for RECREATIONAL USE
- Comment on Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books 5 months ago:
You’d better not also be reading books for fun. By their logic, any recreational use of books from a library should also be considered illegal.
