Save you a click:

The second case that begins next month began with a lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by the Justice Department and eight states in December 2020, during former President Trump’s administration.

Prosecutors allege that since at least 2015 Google has thwarted meaningful competition and deterred innovation through its ownership of the entities and software that power the online advertising technology market.

What are some good ways to alleviate hiccups? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Vector@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

My partner suggested this to me once and I thought, “nothing to lose” so I gave it a go.

Correlation does not imply causation, so I can’t guarantee that the sugar is doing anything at all, but every time except once I’ve had a teaspoon of sugar with hiccups, they have stopped.

To that end, I’ll be doing it as long as it keeps on seeming to have an effect.

I modded a scanner into a camera. This is ‘drake V’ in c/photography@lemmy.world

It’s anything but unimpressive (the image or the camera!)

I muck around with astrophotography and have produced some hideous images, that I was ecstatic with because of the effort required to produce them and actually landing a result. And the tangle of wires and mismatched adapters are all part of it, even if it looks like an abomination 😅.

If anything, I find it super interesting, and it inspires me to give something similar a go!

Great to hear you got it sorted! May I ask out of curiosity which library you are using to play sounds?
