Its funny at that point of my life I would have moved for the right job, but these where often my literal job but in a worse place.

Hey at least it is in the same city, I used to get ones for 2000 Km away.

Yeah, first time I have been cheering for line go down that I can think of.

Thanks, I have been watching the graph of the lag behind time and its nice to see it now at 6.1 days.

Oh wow, yeah its like night and day. Well now I guess I have to figure out a fix.

Sad times if I have to find another instance, again.

Any ideas what can be done longer term to address this (in general)?

Since I can’t see anything here I will check on .world

Used to have .world but for this I just test without logging in.

Thanks for the reply (I was worried no one would) but would that cause the weird behaviour I am seeing? The timing does not seem to match but it could make some sense.

If what you are saying is the cause then Lemmy as a federated whole may now be effectively split up due to sync issues?

I decided to do a bit more then just “hot” and “active” and its the same across all of them except “controversial” and “Most comments”.

“Most comments” has some .world posts in it but does not match using another instance. The only one that seems to line up is ironically sorting by “controversial”,

This is really getting weird and is making it hard to use Lemmy for me. Like I like some of the posts listed but I can not believe the largest instance is not posting anything. To make me more confused this also started at the same time Mander got really slow, and to add to the weirdness refreshing the page gives entirely different sorting of posts maybe one out of five times.

Yes, same with a bus, train, bicycle or on foot. Also not really relivent to privacy.

Facial recognition needs a camera. Common but not everywhere.

The issue is police not respecting privacy at all, this does not change when on a bus.

There is also a record of where I live, my height, eye colour and a whole list of things. People will still be able to find me on my bike easier then in my car since I can’t be that far from home on it.

You assume we all live in cities, we don’t. I like how my town is set up and is walking and bike friendly, but still most drive. This post was about privacy but you got on the ol’ soapbox about mass transit. Do you really think getting on a train/bus/tram you are not being/can not be tracked?

Leave your city, spread out and enjoy a bit of nature.

Hmmm wonder if you could make it work with bumberstickers? Like have the custom plate P TABLE and then complete on ether side?

They know where I am in my 1986 Fiero? In an area where the nearest traffic camera is at least 50 kms away? Where the police don’t show even if you call them?

Would I ride a train, sure but they are all freight haulers now and would you believe it even easier to track?

And my bicycle? its great, love it. but I am not able to make my 250km commute on it and although I have used it in the winter -50c is not conducive to cycling.

As is tradition.

Hmmm I am kinda in this situation now and I have to say I still want to work just not for other people (unless I know them well). I actually am trying to be more active and working on my own stuff makes me feel good and gets me off my ass.

Not the post but the ad has been posted more then once.

This is not the first time this has been posted (the “job” ad) so ether they are looking for free work (and belong in this part of lemmy) or are so incompetent to make the same mistake again (and belong in this part of lemmy).

I remember having the argument 20 years ago about working for free so you can put it on your CV. Not so happy to see it progress past interns and right to general labour.

What? That is gold, not Mildly Infuriating at all.

I wanted to find a list where deployed snipers where used to a positive effect in a crowded area. So far no luck…

I could not find many good current reports on deployment in general. Here is some older info (2004) so the number is likely a wee bit higher now.

https://www.policemag.com/special-units/article/15349350/swat-snipers

some bits of note are:

“The ASA study, which is titled “Police Sniper Utilization Report 2005,” revealed that contrary to the old 70-yard myth, the average range at which police snipers engage suspects is actually 51 yards.”

and is funny when combined with:

"The overwhelming majority of SWAT callouts do not result in shots fired by the SWAT team. ASA estimates that there are 10,000 callouts per year. Nationwide for the 20 years included in the study that adds up to about 200,000 deployments. ASA calculates that out of those 200,000 callouts only 172 incidents have ended with a SWAT sniper killing a suspect.

The survey also shows that police snipers don’t always kill suspects that they fire upon, nor do they always intend to. ASA documents 219 SWAT sniper shootings. Of these, it’s known that 104 struck the suspect in the head or neck, 104 in the body, seven in the arm or hand, and two in a leg. The suspect died of his or her wounds in only 172 of these incidents.

ASA notes that even some of the suspects who were shot in the head and neck survived their wounds. However, none of these suspects were shot in the brain or spinal cord. Instead, they were hit in the jaw or mouth."
