Gen alpha is using source film maker? I’m not down with latest machinina tech but that seems to me like millennials using vinyl. Rad.

A small blade safe can hold hundreds of blades and it’s like 4"x3"x3". Makes sense they thought the inside of drywall 5’x3’x1’ would be fine. It can probably hold tens of thousands. Even with a new blade daily that’s decades. And when you tear down the wall you’re dealing with Sheetrock, nails and screws already. All that time would have dulled the incredibly thin blades.

This is all to say: it seems wild but was a decent idea.

No one creates wealth alone. When one becomes that rich, they’ve stolen it.

Biden says he is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 Americans (www.cbsnews.com)

President Biden announced Friday that his administration is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 borrowers, marking the latest round of debt cancellation since the Supreme Court voided the president’s student loan forgiveness program....

It’s a small measure but it’s better than nothing. We need free public universities but that’s outside of a presidents unilateral authority.

Is It Worth The Time? XKCD 1205 updated for open source and shared tools. (lemmy.world)

People often ask why I contribute to open source projects or otherwise work on building automated tooling. They see me spending hours to automate a task or fix a bug that take seconds to do or avoid manually, in a way that the original XKCD comic says won’t pay off. The disconnect seems to be that the comic and those people...

Write emails? At 250min, or 4 hours it’s either a major repetitive work task or a hobby.

Or if you’re into wargaming or model making, assembly tasks or painting.

So doubling it: your entire repetitive job. Would have efficiency increased to halve the time. Pretty rare.

They’d be traitors, just the same.

That’s the thing with all flavors of treason: insurrection, rebellion, revolution, civil war, etc. If you don’t win, you’re a traitor.

And the vast majority of Americans don’t want “leftist” anarchists to overthrow the government. You can see what happens when people overthrow their governments by watching abroad.

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Anarchism might be. But overthrowing a democratically elected government in spite of the population’s desires isn’t progressive. That’s fascist. So get out of here with your treason.

So have I. But I’m in my current job specifically because my last team got taken over by abusive managers. I didn’t feel I could talk to anyone in my new chain of command. It also constituted a bullshit office move. I was gone for a promotion in 3 months.

Yeah. Let’s not tell him. He probably can’t look up anymore after staring at the solar eclipse so he won’t notice them.

Overdraft fees could drop to as low as $3 under new Biden proposal (apnews.com)

The cost to overdraw a bank account could drop to as little as $3 under a proposal announced by the White House, the latest effort by the Biden administration to combat fees it says pose an unnecessary burden on American consumers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck....

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Overdraft fees should just be illegal. Bank knows how much money is in there. Don’t allow withdraw if it’s insufficient.

@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

I wasn’t aware you could do that. I don’t use debit so unsure.

That last bit shows he’s a homophobe. He thinks it’s a privilege instead of a human right and is fine with states persecuting people.

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

So yeah. Housing the homeless is an effective solution. There are more empty homes than homeless in the US at least. And you can subsidize or build new places for this purpose, especially if they are transitory for the majority. And it’ll still be cheaper than dealing with all the knock-on effects of homelessness: litter, crime, health issues, etc.

$30/mo/user? Wtf? What are people even using Copilot for? Every single time I’ve tried an AI language model it gives me laughably wrong and bad answers. I would need it to be 99%+ accurate to bother trusting it; especially when just searching an answer and finding a decent source isn’t that lengthy.

Both. We have installed programs as well as OneDrive and cloud versions that can open documents on the cloud.

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Oh yeah, it isn’t as good as the application. It’s slow and cumbersome and has trouble with larger data sets. It IS nice for editing in tandem and quickly viewing a file without having to open the whole program. But for any real work I do I open in desktop.

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

I can hear the HR, PR and security teams screaming from here just at that idea.

At best this would evolve into smart templates. But we can do that now. And we don’t actually need that since the few emails we send that are repetitive we just grab from our drafts/sent folder.

I never really use Lemmy for porn and found reddit somewhat lacking in that as well; it mostly posted big budget stuff and onlyfans.

Still wish there was a way to block Instances instead of just users and communities for non-instance owners. I’d rather not switch instances for a slight inconvenience of having to block every community from an instance.

Can I filter X-Day old accounts as they're likely bots or trolls?

Pretty much the title: I see multiple posts on 3-day old accounts, all promoting disinfo for the RUS, ISR, CHI or some weirdo faction thereof. CanI set a filter on my account to ignore these prolific bastards until they have attained certain age or number of responses that exceed the AI 's smarmy word count?

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Worst case is you’re essentially invisible for a week. I’ve had plenty of platforms have a waiting period to join so not a huge issue. Also easy for bots to bypass by making a bunch of accounts to sit on

Millions of Americans face below-zero temperatures as storms bring blast of Arctic air, snow and ice (apnews.com)

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Subfreezing temperatures across much of the U.S. left millions of Americans facing dangerous cold as Arctic storms left four dead and knocked out electricity to tens of thousands in the Northwest, brought snow to the South, and walloped the Northeast with blizzard conditions that forced the postponement...

I’ve seen dod finance. The amount of paperwork to move money within an agency is ridiculous. Between is even more. If they don’t have a receipt, it’s deliberate or gross negligence.

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Lol, what? Do you have any idea how many people work for the DoD in finance or adjacent to finance? The entire Program Management track is huge. It’s not a crime or even recommended to pretend you don’t work for or with the DoD. It’s very clear what is classified information, CUI, or financially privileged. And there’s TONS of contractors who interface with the DoD in financial matters.

DoD finance is all about bureaucracy: just like most of the DoD and US government itself. There’s so many hoops to jump through to move money it’s insane. Money expires yearly in many cases. That old adage of units spending money in September is somewhat true: sending money you didn’t spend back at the end of the fiscal year is frowned upon. On and on and on I and anyone else with even a toe dipped in could go.

Shit, most DoD finance is public: the NDAA lists top-level spending allocations. Really it’s just non-acknowledged programs where the funding isn’t public. Which is where I imagine a lot of the shenanagins get up to. Your paranoia is silly.

If the corral was full then go to a different one or take it back to the store like a decent person. This is like assholes in my neighborhood who put boxes next to their trash can because they filled it up. And then the wind blows their shit all over the neighborhood.
