Wow almost 9 years old, but I hadn't seen this before so thanks for posting.
Socks are always a good stocking stuffer. Also candy, bathroom products, cards, etc.

Ukraine Asks if Telegram, Its Favorite App, Is a Sleeper Agent
The messaging app’s popularity has soared during the war with Russia, leading Ukrainian officials to increasingly weigh Telegram’s upsides against its security risks.
About 70 percent of Ukraine's population uses Telegram as their main source of news, but the government is worried that the app is being used as a method of disinformation and spying by Russia. They are trying to pivot to apps like Signal instead, but it is difficult to break the habit of such a majority of the country.
Carplay does indeed work once you plug the phone into the car. But, it doesn't seem to support the "carplay home screen" where you see the map in one half and your music in the other. It always boots me back to google maps there, which is annoying and will probably prevent me from using this in the car much. The car icon also moves in frames at a time, is often behind where I am, and the voice assistant's voice sounds very outdated and unpleasant. Hopefully it gets better over time.
WBZ glued Apple AirTags inside a number of Starbucks cups to track where they ended up.
I wasn't sure the best community on slrpnk to post this; but this one seemed pretty applicable.
This hasn't happened to me but probably because my computer doesn't support Windows 11 (it doesn't support TPM)
Macs also make you put your password in all the time for updates, installs, etc. Laymen seem to use macs just fine
That's fair. So you don't think people should have the choice?
It just seems like it's antithetical to all the reasons we made weed legal. People are going to do it anyways, might as well make it regulated and collect tax on it. I don't smoke tobacco but I just think making it illegal won't change anything. Let people make their own decisions, you know?
Legalizing weed but banning tobacco makes no sense to me. I hope this doesn't pass.
Proposed legislation would phase out nicotine, tobacco sales in Massachusetts

I don't have an answer to your specific question, but honestly I think learning to subscribe to a community is a really important "tutorial" on using lemmy/reddit. Otherwise they might not understand how to get to each one. You also could just have them look at the local feed so they wouldn't even need subscriptions.
I personally haven't used it yet but I believe you can do all this with Matrix (choose your client - probably Element).
Seems to be mainly because Bluesky is just a better user experience.
Changes in terms of service regarding AI (artificial intelligence), changes in the block feature and the presence of so many bot-like ‘impression zombie’ accounts are viewed negatively by Japanese users
But, X is still incredibly important in Japan and Bluesky isnt a serious threat to it culturally right now.
X is still a major, major news source for Japanese users, so it really won't slow down anytime soon. Newer platforms like Threads or Bluesky really don't have any meaningful adoption or use for brand marketing in Japan — yet
I actually have not plugged it into the car yet. I thought I remembered apps showing up in the carplay settings immediately after downloading, but maybe that's not the case. I'll report back after I've tried.
Organic Maps not showing in list of car play apps. Does it not support?
Hi everyone. I recently downloaded Organic Maps and am interested in trying it out as an alternative to Google Maps. However, when I went into my CarPlay settings in my phone to put the app in a good location, it is not listed. I did some googling and it seems like Organic Maps should support CarPlay. Just checking for confirmation on that. Thanks!
The japanese philosophy of Kintsugi may help you look at things differently. Impurities are what make us all unique. Nothing in nature is perfect.

Many data centres use water-based systems to cool the plant with towers evaporating the heat, like a huge perspiration system, which means that the water is lost. It also has to be drinking quality because impurities can damage the servers.
If anyone was curious like me.
Wow that bug sounds wicked annoying. Sorry about that. I love uncharted 4. Since you're playing on crushing I assume you've already played it? I want to replay sometime soon. I haven't since it came out actually; I played twice in a row but haven't since. My main gripe with it (the most probably think of as a positive) is that there aren't enough combat encounters.
Any infinite group applies to this too. The group of integers, real numbers, etc. are infinite. Just add 1 👍
