No kidding at one point I lived in Texas in the DFW triangle so not exactly rural LOL, havent been in much rural South. I now live in rural north and it is very different, closest interstate is an hour away. And thankfully people don’t really harass each mother much 👍

It’s not rural until your town contracts a county sheriff for a handful of hours a week and otherwise has no police force! Literally not enough funding for a flock deal around these parts lol. If all these intersections ur talking about have paved roads, lights, and bullet hole free signs we may have different definitions of rural!

on Teen Boys Are Using Meta Glasses to Terrorize Girls at High Schools and Middle Schools in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
This. My friend in HS went to guidance multiple times to complain about being bullied by another classmate. After the 2nd or 3rd time requesting thy switch his class, they decided to resolve the issue by forcing them to be partners for an assignment in class. He complained again, and was told to deal with it. One day my friend finally cracked and broke the bully’s nose because he had enough and clearly the school was only willing to make this worse, so they called the police on my friend. It’s pretty insane how some things get dealt with sometimes.

on Viral De-Flock America campaign urging people to destroy AI cameras on Halloween night gains momentum in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
U got any good alternatives to recommend? I was given a ring camera as a house warming gift, one of the nice flood light cam ones. Want to get away from ring but also don’t want to buy more crap LOL but I want to add a camera to the rear of my house and refuse to have ring recording me on my patio nor do I want to up my subscription. Keep migrating toward self hosting my camera system as the best solution but fuck I also don’t have the time to go setting that up right now … Rambling here but in search of good advice 🙏

on Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
This is exactly why I just keep buying the cheapest Motorola on the market. Battery that lasts 3 days, quick charge on USB c and a aux port. Reliable, works every time, and if I loose it only only out a couple hundred bux. Just wish graphene os was on it, but supposedly that might be in the works. Here’s to hoping it’s out before I need a new phone!

on Amid RAM price hikes, Microsoft reportedly raises Windows license cost, forcing OEMs to hike prices even further on hardware in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
I would love a tick box setup. Maybe 2 Linux distro options and a windows option for +$X or whatever so ur laptop can arrive ready to set up with the OS desired on it. Should lower cost for customers who don’t need windows, and maybe people on the fence will decide window isn’t worth however much more it cost to get and order the Linux version. The more units are sold with Linux the more incentive there will be to sort drivers for more hardware etc.

on The AI Slop Backlash Is Actually Having an Impact. Platforms are finally recognizing that people don’t want to consume AI slop. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
I’ve accidentally come across ai instrumental beats a few times. They always lack any sort of soul, I suppose adequate for some background noise but tends to be quite repetitive vs say nightmares on wax or bonobo. I can’t imagine they do well in any other genres, I feel like instrumental should be one of the easier music genres for ai to try to “create”
Half of my homes appliances are from the 70s/80s, and a handful are modern. Can u guess which ones are breaking? Fuck I will NEVER get rid of my cooktop and oven they are older than me and will likely outlive me still !
