Otter@lemmy.cato Television@lemm.ee•'King of the Hill' Voice Actor Jonathan Joss Fatally Shot in TexasEnglish7·4 hours agoAnother article for those having issues with the TMZ site:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/jonathan-joss-fatally-shot-1.7550346
I was looking at the Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Joss
On January 23, 2025, Joss lost his San Antonio home, as well as three dogs (with a fourth missing) when his house caught fire.[8][9] Joss says he was using a propane heater and had left the house. “Mistakes happen, man. And it’s my fault for, I guess, leaving something on,” Joss said. “Or if somebody came in and did something, who knows?” [8] He attended the 2025 ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas with other King of the Hill cast members on May 29, 2025.[7] However, he says he was not invited to the panel, and an attendee on the social media site Reddit says that Joss interrupted the King of the Hill panel, bringing up his house burning down which he felt was intentionally burned down because of his homosexuality.
On June 1, 2025, Joss was approached by a neighbor who allegedly yelled homophobic slurs at Joss before shooting and killing him. The suspect was arrested shortly afterward.[7][10][11][12] The two neighbors have been subject to a longstanding feud going back years with police being called multiple times.[13] His death occurred just hours after he uploaded an Instagram video of himself walking around Austin and noting how he already recorded lines for 4 King of the Hill episodes.
Kern de Gonzales stated on Instagram afterwards that various people in the area had for years verbally assaulted them with homophobic slurs and threats to burn down their home.[14] Kern de Gonzales went on to say that the house had burned down after years of threats from their neighbors, threats to which the police had not responded, even after the threats had been reported by Gonzales and Joss.[11] On Joss’ Facebook page, Kern de Gonzales described the attack as a homophobic hate crime.
San Antonio Police Department released a statement saying “Our investigation has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that the Mr. Joss’s murder was related to his sexual orientation.”

Otter@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the term 'blockbuster' came from a time when blocks of ice in front of a fan were used to cool movie audiences. A large audience required more cooling thus "busting" the block of ice.English22·2 days agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockbuster_(entertainment)
https://www.wordorigins.org/big-list-entries/blockbuster
This seems like one of those terms without any clear origin, and the Wikipedia doesn’t list this potential use as one of them. I’m not saying it isn’t true (I don’t know), but @[email protected] you could edit the title to something like “the term ‘blockbuster’ may have come from”. Or even just add “[disputed]” to the title

Can you message me with the link? I can look into it from the admin side. You may need to chop it up into parts if the instance is blocking it:

Otter@lemmy.cato Android@lemmy.world•Why tf are these reminder options so random? Is there no way to pick a few that are always the same?English5·3 days agoA different calendar app might have something better
If you have a common pattern, you could create a custom calendar with that pattern. For example, if you always want 3 reminders for this schedule:
- 10 minutes before
- 1 hour before
- 12 hours before
You can make a calendar with that preset, and then for any events that need that pattern, you set it to that calendar
That’s actually around -18°C (to -23°C)
So it is in line with everyone else
It’s working for me, and so maybe it came back?
Otter@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Self-Driving Tesla Fails School Bus Test, Hitting Child-Size Dummies… Meanwhile, Robo-Taxis Hit the Road in 2 Weeks.English771·5 days agoI believe Waymo has a better set of sensors (Lidar + Radar+ Cameras instead of just cameras), more processing power, and more research / time / resources spent on it compared to Tesla.
So it’s not that we aren’t ready for self driving taxis, but rather about which cars are ready to provide that service

Easiest might be to give passwords to a trusted friend with technical experience and a list of the important things that you want done.

Otter@lemmy.caMto Canada@lemmy.ca•Equifax wiped out his credit score — and a little-known policy means he can't get it backEnglish5·8 days agoThe “crosspost” label is more of a flag that there is another post with the same URL somewhere. If I posted the same article in a community multiple times, it would have multiple “crosspost” labels for that community. I agree that this could be done in a better way
I assume there was a bug or loading issue where the user posted this post twice. Maybe their app thought it didn’t go through the first time and tried posting it again.
Since there is discussion on both posts, I might leave them both?
Otter@lemmy.caOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Where hyperscale hardware goes to retire: Ars visits a very big ITAD siteEnglish10·8 days agoA big part of this site’s pitch to its clients, including the “hyperscale” customers with gigantic data centers nearby, is that each device is labeled, tracked, and inventoried for its drives—both obvious and hidden—and is either securely wiped or destroyed. The process, commonly called ITAD, is used by larger businesses, especially when they upgrade fleets of servers or workers’ devices. ITAD providers ensure all the old gear is wiped clean, then resold, repurposed, recycled, or destroyed.

Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I’d say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it’s a design problem

I also find your comment insensitive, and I think you know better. It trivializes a tragic event by making an offhand observation about family size in Gaza.
