Yes it is what you said.

The police in all countries exist specifically to do violence against citizens of that country. That is literally their reason for existing.

You said they’re there to carry out violence on citizens. That’s not what the police are or should be for.

If you have services available other than the police, it is in your interest to prefer those.

No. You’re again thinking police are violent thugs everywhere.

it is in our interest to offload non-violent services from the police onto social workers and other non-violent labour.

That doesn’t make much sense to me.

My wife gets sexually harassed at work… is she just not supposed to call the police? My car gets stolen… am I not supposed to call the police? I see a policeman in the street and I am lost, is it wrong to ask for directions?

I appreciate that the police may be far more militaristic where you live, I acknowledge that I’m lucky in that regard, but you should at least acknowledge that that stuff varies place to place. I don’t think the belief that police should be/are only “violent labour” is a correct one.

Police having monopoly on (legal) violence does not mean the point of them existing is explicitly to terrorise people to the extent people are afraid to call them for assistance.

Only in places where they are allowed to become thugs is that the case.

Certainly can make things a lot worse. Thankfully my experiences have still been good despite being a brown immigrant.

Living in a country where you’re afraid to call the police sounds so crazy to me.

Ngl a 90s PC beige steam deck would be amazing to run emudeck on

I tried this but even permanent marker kept rubbing off

Idk where you live, but a number of countries give you a 14 day cool-off period where you can return purchases for any reason.

Fucking finally. My 7 will be thankful. Xperias have had this for years.

A lemmy.ml mod, being an absolute joke of a mod? Say it ain’t so!

and 40fps feels like it’s a lot closer to 60fps than it really is.

Counter-intuitively, 40fps, not 45fps, is the mid point between 30fps and 60fps, so it really is closer than what a lot of people think.

On the surface that seems impossible, but looking at frame times tells the story.

Let’s divide 1 second by 30, 40, and 60:

• 1 / 30 = 0.033s per frame

• 1 / 40 = 0.025s per frame (0.08s less time per frame than 30fps)

• 1 / 60 = 0.017s per frame (0.08s less time per frame than 40fps)
