Does this confirm that giraffes are brown with yellow lines, rather than yellow with brown spots? This could be huge for the giraffe community.

Did anyone try to return to reddit and notice it just didn't do it for you anymore?

So I’ve switched to lemmy since the reddit meltdown started, experienced quite some withdrawal symptoms, occasionally turned back to reddit, more often logged out than logged in. Now I am merely using Lemmy occasionally and by far not as often as I used reddit before. No more doom scrolling....

Don't be too complacent, of course. I've seen people on the Fediverse turn feral and Reddit-esque during discussions of particular culture war issues. It's not completely peachy here all the time; there are some subjects about which some people can't help losing their composure.

Good on you for being principled. I experience the same sort of feeling, and I've tried to just redirect that need for content into other media.

Alternative take: Piracy is, at worst, morally neutral, and does not have a significant adverse effect on the profits of the people who produce media.

ADVA Soft Changes its Pricing Structure for TouchRetouch (medium.com)

TouchRetouch has switched to a subscription model. The older app cannot be downloaded by new users. The new app allows you to restore your old purchase and sets you to a core plan, where all the old features from that app still work. But, new features will require a sub....

I am 26 and have been in the workforce for a few years.

In short, is there something I’m missing here, or is work-eat-sleep-repeat all there is until I retire?

Yes, except for the fact that you and I will not be able to retire.

If Reddit had been any indication, the debate around Roiland's culpability seems to polarize around the idea that since the charges were dropped he evidently must not have been guilty, and the idea that even though the charges were dropped, we have, through sheer coincidence, just now decided that his various past behaviors warrant immediate cancellation anyway (and that he's totally guilty no matter what, either way).

I feel like the justice system needs to evolve in a way that protects people against social ostracism of this sort, should they turn out innocent. Even if Roiland himself is truly guilty, the fact that we live in a system where someone else who is innocent could feasibly end up in similar circumstances is unacceptable in a society as connected as ours.

Metaright ,
@Metaright@kbin.social avatar

I am not sure how this relates at all to the "justice system", however. Are private organizations only allowed to part ways with an employee because they committed crimes? This is not really about "guilt" that can be proven or disproven in a court case, and there are already mechanisms in place for people to be compensated if they can show that they were unfairly treated or if contracts were violated.

It wasn't a fully formed proposal, honestly. You make a very good point.

Europe is becoming a US 'vassal', leading think tank warns (www.brusselstimes.com)

ECFR: with possible exception of France, whole of Europe “has almost completely renounced the idea of greater strategic autonomy.” “We are so vassalised that we can’t even admit to it. If we did, then people might figure it out and that would be terrible.”

I think they make a good point, regardless.

More Baby Boomers are living alone. One reason why: ‘gray divorce’ (www.cnn.com)

The number of older Americans living alone is on the rise. Nearly 16 million people aged 65 and older in the US lived solo in 2022, three times as many who lived alone in that age group in the 1960s. And as Baby Boomers age, that number is expected to grow even more, raising big questions about the country’s future.

Heyck says she got divorced in her 50s after her son turned 18.

“It was really more of a working relationship than a full marriage,” she says, and Heyck was emotionally ready to be on her own.

But the financial transition, she says, wasn’t easy. For years, she struggled to make ends meet, living with roommates and couch-surfing as she waited for a spot to open in income-adjusted senior housing.

“I was an artist. I lived on the edge financially. I didn’t have a 401(k) … I always thought that I would be married. That was the big surprise,” she says.

How was it a "big surprise" when it's implied that she wanted the divorce to happen? You have an unstable job, divorce your spouse, and then go all surprised Pikachu when it occurs to you that your finances are unstable?

Japan: Can anything be done to stop population decline? (www.dw.com)

The latest numbers on Japanese population make for a dismal reading — the number of people who died in 2022 (1.56 million) was roughly twice as big as the number of newborn children (771,000). Based on residency registrations, the country’s Internal Ministry estimates a total population loss of some 800,000 last year. This...

I honestly can't really imagine anyone digging out a multitude of old consoles just to be able to play one or two titles each. If you want to play older games, surely emulation is the only feasible option for the vast majority of people.

Just wondering if this is possible. Don’t get me wrong, I have no issue with porn being on the site, but the fact that posts like “watch my fuck hole being filled” with graphic videos of a femboy fucking themself with a dildo is showing up on the home feed of this site makes it hard for me to recommend it to anyone, let...

More clarification would be helpful, I agree.

the same way each other digital storefront does

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but "everyone else is doing evil too" is not an incredibly effective defense against doing evil.

OP, what say you in your defense?

Just had my first interaction with Meta Services last night. Thought I'd share what I learned.

I was up late last night and we know how that goes - rabbit holes. This time I was trying to find some ways to make my phone feel a little snappier and possibly eliminate the issue I was having where my recent apps button stops working until I restart the phone. On Android 13 I found that if I changed to gesture based navigation...

So I thought I'd share. It's simple, but here we are. To find them (in Android 13)

I'm running Android 13, and this path does not exist. There is no "see all apps" option.
