Long story short I have a friend who’s dating someone extremely abusive and is trying to end things with them. This psycho uses his phone to harass her by calling/texting over and over and over again and I want to render his phone useless.

I’ve tried to find some Text Bombers on GitHub, but none of them seem to work when I test them on my own phone.

Is there a working text bomber out there?

I figured a good way to see how the average person is doing in the current economy would be to see what the ramen sales are like.

Glad we’re focusing on the real issues….

I love my iPhone mini 12. I’m a smaller person with smaller hands than average and the Mini just sits in my palm perfectly.

It’s a real shame they got rid of it. It’s just felt “right”.

Something tells me we’re seeing the start of the fall of the free internet.

Everything seems to going the route of subscriptions/paywalls.

Im pretty sure I have some trauma from watching all the Liveleak executions as a teenager back in the day.

Yes and that is a genuine and valid argument against Israel’s actions. It’s the cycle of violence.

What Israel is doing in response is wrong.

But I’m shocked at people actually applauding Hamas and their actions.

Nah man. Hard disagree with you there.

There’s no way you can kidnap, behead, rape and kill innocents or attack a music festival and call yourself the good guy. If you do, then you’ve got a fucked up moral compass.

I don’t like the shit that Israel has done to the Palestinians either, but Hamas is a terrorist organization only using the Palestinians suffering as a weapon of influence for their abominable beliefs.

They don’t give a shit about Palestinians. They care about power and killing Jews.

The world isn’t as black and white as you make it out two be.

It’s such a fucked up situation.

The Palestine vs Israel argument is a legitimate one that needs to be addressed.

However, Hamas is nothing more than a terrorist organization that uses the struggles of the Palestinians to stay in power much like how the Israeli government often does the same to their own people.

[–] drewisawesome14@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

And all Hamas has done is poured fuel on the fire. It’s so fucking sad and gross.

Pro Israel, Pro Palestine, fuck Hamas.

The Palestinians do have legitimate grievances with the Israeli government that need to be addressed, and Israel has every right to protect itself.

Hamas uses this for their own sick agendas and to maintain power.

Someone pointed it out, but how many of the people Hamas murdered do you think have joined the many protests for the freedom of the Palestinian people?

A lot of Jews in Israel support the freedom of the Palestinians and they have demonstrated such.

Hamas doesn’t give a shit about the Palestinians.

And Israel is showing the same by bombing innocents.

That’s what I was wondering

 

So essentially I took a class last semester, passed it, but didn’t learn shit because I rarely attended the lectures (worked evenings, class was in AM, used the hour to catch up on sleep). I didn’t realize how important the class was to my major, and now I’m seriously struggling in my current classes.

Have you ever had to retake a prerequisite in order to better understand a subject?

 

I’m not sure why, but it never fails for me to be disappointed whenever I use an amp sim.

Whenever I plug in my guitar directly into the DI and load up an amp sim with a cab ir, it just sounds super flat. No dynamics, no life, just very lack luster all around and I have no idea why.

I have recorded guitar tracks while running a distortion pedal into a Mooer Radar Cab IR Loader and it sounded very good. But cannot for the life of me get an amp sim to sound nearly as dynamic when I run just my guitar into the DI

What gives?

 

I’m recording my first album using real drums that I’m recording with two mics. I used to use drum programs like EZDrummer so it was fine to use just regular guitar plugins. Now that I’m using real drums recorded in a room, the guitars used with VSTs sound off and way more artificial now when compared to the real drums. I want something that I can record with the same mics I use on the drums to give it that “same room” sound. I’d like a budget amp, whether new or used, that’s great for recording old death metal with a mic. Budget is $300. Would spend a little over if needed, but just really would like something that will sound great when recorded and isn’t going to cost me a mortgage.

 

I just had to report something to the police that will probably end a very close friendship of mine, but it was something that was totally not okay and I had to do it. But I still feel like a piece of shit for it. Have you ever felt like this and how did you get through it?

 

My good friend at work is dating a guy that is also a coworker and at first I thought this guy was pretty cool.

As it turns out, he’s batshit insane and a horrible human being.

It has come to my attention recently that he had been spreading rumors and information about me and sexual identity (Bi), outing me in order to manipulate the work place into being “against me”. Including outing me to close work friends of mine that I was keeping that part of my life private from out of fear of losing their friendship.

I have already gone through HR, and that employee is currently being investigated, but the more I find out, the worse it gets.

This guy has been threatened by my friendship with his girlfriend, my close friend who I have known longer than him, and without either of our knowledge, he installed a spy app on her phone which gave him access to every text, snap, instagram, Facebook, phone calls, and even what she does online. I know this because she came to me saying her phone was acting up, and me being ex-IT, found the app he installed on her phone.

Recently I just heard from another coworker that he has been telling people of my gay sexual relationships which I do not recall ever telling him. He has also told coworkers about things I have texted her verbatim, so I am starting to think that he may have possibly gathered information about my sex life through text messages to her, without either of us knowing he could read them, and has been telling my other work colleagues.

I know this guy isn’t coming back to the work place, but I feel so crossed that I'm not sure even that’s enough. I want to know if, because he obtained that information illegally, I could file a lawsuit against him as well.

I have felt so violated all this week because of this guy, someone who I thought I was friends with and even defended at times, stabbed me in the back and did this horrible thing to me.

Obviously this is lemmy and I don’t expect there to be any lawyers here, but do you think I may have a case?

 

I need to replace my 5 year old laptop this summer for the fall semester and I’ve decided that instead of a new computer I should just upgrade to a tablet. I’ve always loved the iPad mini for its size. It’d be extremely portable and I would honestly get a lot more use out of it other than just school work, but I’m nervous about having to type notes or papers with it for how small it is. I’ve considered the Air because it’d be easier to use it as a computer, I know I could write papers and type/write notes easily with an Apple Pencil. It would be a great school computer, but I don’t know if I would use it casually like the mini. I’d love to buy both but can’t afford that. Which one would be better?
