My understanding is most states follow the precident set by Massachusetts: if you’re caught with them while committing a crime or on your way to commit a crime then its a problem. Some states require you to be a locksmith. Either way, I don’t make it obvious I have them and don’t go around committing a bunch of crimes. Scout’s honor.
A set of lockpicks. I must admit they were much more useful in school than after. But at this point I’ve had some set of picks in my pocket for more than half my life so I doubt I’ll stop anytime soon.
I’ve always hated these cameras. It’s not just “you’re being watched” it’s also comes with some amount of “you can’t be trusted” and “guilty until proven innocent.”
I just need a particular size washer/nut/bolt, not to be reminded that Home Depot thinks I’m a thief by default.
Moderation of bad actors. Not just people who are assholes, or people who post spam, but I mean astroturfing and vote manipulation schemes that cross instances.
I’ve been followed around by a set of accounts who never post and never comment but downvote everything I comment. I have zero ways to report them directly. They were consistently downvoting a set of accounts including me and upvoting a different set of accounts. I DM’d 3 admins but the only attention I got was from a dedicated comm mod who could only ban them from a few comms and they talked to their admin on my behalf.
https://lemvotes.org/ paints a picture of a vote manipulation ring but all I could do was manually message people who couldn’t be bothered. I couldn’t care less they were downvoting me, I have nothing important to say, but the fake engagement around who they were boosting didn’t sit right with me.
This sort of sums up my experience: https://lemmy.zip/comment/29353636 and it’s corresponding https://lemvotes.org/comment/lemmy.zip/comment/29353636

The H3 cheating scandal. Everybody involved sucks.
Does he not realize he’s the prime mascot for underperforming men?
Until god admits he also gave me lactose intolerance he can fuck all the way off
Why? Does he want to buy diesel from them?
Nerdfighteria of the vlogbrothers seem like a good group
I don’t even run arch but I’d be thrilled to stumble upon a Linux store this size. I now realize how much I want a stuffed penguin!
This should be marked NSFW. If Threepo wasn’t open source before, the picture of his naked wires reveals all his secrets now!
Bernie Sanders says if AI is coming for workers, it should bring a four-day workweek with it | Fortune https://fortune.com/2026/09/15/bernie-sanders-ai-four-day-workweek-bill/
People are saying that if AI makes us more productive we should get our time back. They just don’t capture the news cycle.
“War: The Game: The Movie”
I suppose “film” is still accurate. It’s still a movie, it’s just an animated movie no different from the “live action” remake of the Lion King.
Shower trained
But just ten minutes into his presentation, a collaborator interjected telling that “something seemed off to them.” As it turns out, the way the new algorithm handled the edges of the surveys was “wrong,” Sutter admitted.
“It wasn’t a typo, and it wasn’t a missing citation or a factor of two,” he wrote. “It was subtle, but it was very wrong, and everything downstream of it was also wrong, and I had shared the whole thing in a room full of people who trusted me.”
“It was very wrong” HOW?!?!
The article might as well have continued “It was so obviously wrong that to go into detail would waste our readers time as any reader of this publication is well aware of the kinds of things that go wrong with the edges of surveys.”
You bought it. It’ll be $6 next summer
Occasionally I miss my old Nexus 5. The screen felt so big at the time and I loved it’s sharp edges
Because in middle school when I bought my first set I was a little edgelord who wanted to lord it over my friends.
In college, I played all of a Resident Evil game by sneaking into classrooms after hours and plugging my Xbox 360 into the media center’s projector that was behind a wafer lock. Horror is best played on screens measured in feet in dark rooms.
One time my uncle forgot his keys to a storage unit and I managed to get the lock open for him. This might be the one time I used them legitimately.
