It means a slowed increase in temperature which means safety for coastal areas, a slowed increase in extreme weather events - there are a lot of proposals out there and studies on their effect. You just seen to want to say fuck it, I don’t want to change or pay slightly more for energy or change your actions.

You described most CA laws - don’t get me started on CARB and how is just pushing us toward bigger, less efficient cars while killing innovation by smaller engineering shops

lps2 , (edited )

It has virtually nothing to do with emissions (as if it did, they would just hook up a sniffer to test and be fine)- instead there are blanket bans on any modification not from Edelbrock or a s couple others unless those companies pay exorbitant fees to be “CARB-approved” which has snuffed out innovation from smaller machine shops. And the loopholes are what has driven cars to be bigger and not more fuel efficient

As someone with an Audi that will adjust your cruise control automatically based on speed limit (or rather what it thinks the speed limit is) I couldn’t be more against this. I had to disable the feature after multiple times where it thought I was on some 15mph ramp rather than the freeway and slammed on the brakes in the middle of traffic going 70mph.

US destroyer has ballistic missiles fired toward it, after responding to attack on commercial tanker (www.cnn.com)

Two ballistic missiles were fired from Houthi rebel-controlled Yemen toward a US warship in the Gulf of Aden, after the US Navy responded to a distress call from a commercial tanker that had been seized by armed individuals, the US military said Sunday....

On a more serious note, how the hell do people use GitHub? I was the Gitlab admin at my prior employer (and self-host my own instance) and now I am just a user of GitHub in my new role and jesus does it lack any organization whatsoever, it’s actions are crap compared to Gitlab CI/CD, and it’s projects are a flaming pile or garbage

California program to lease land under freeways faces scrutiny after major Los Angeles fire (apnews.com)

The area under an elevated Los Angeles freeway that burned last weekend was a kind of open-air warehouse with businesses storing everything from wood pallets to cardboard boxes to hand sanitizer on lots leased by the state through a little-known program that now is under scrutiny....

Doing work with government, I understand why - ten billion different stakeholders to wrangle, strained budgets (probably not as big of an issue in defense but rampant throughout the rest of gov’t), lawmakers changing things mid-project that have a material effect on how the project is carried out, and endless redtape throughout the process. I don’t propose FF for gov projects either because inevitably they violate our assumptions by not getting their shit in order which kills the timeline, adds a ton of overhead, and results in a change order anyway which then just starts the whole process of approvals all over again.

Hmmm, we have a company who’s success has been largely due to it’s large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community… Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who’s success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

Which I get - I’m starting the candidate gathering stage for a fairly senior role and the pool of candidates I have to choose from is already quite small given the requirements and niche product and of course I am going to defer to those I have worked with in the past as I know what they can do. I just find it funny that when faced with a very specific issue that unity picked someone who has a track record of fumbling that exact issue

lps2 ,

It’s funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They’re past their series F - they’ve got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it’s been downhill since.

Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)

lps2 ,

It’s just funny given the community backlash both companies have faced in recent days

lps2 ,

Both sides are genocidal, war crime committing, religious zealots it’s just that Israel has the upper-hand due to support from western nations (largely due to Christian zionists in those western countries) while Palestine is largely supported and funded by Islamic zionists from middle eastern countries.

lps2 ,

That too is a bit of revisionist history and if you extend the timeline back a bit you’ll see both parties have semi-legitimate claims to the area (hell, Israelis have been there for a thousand years before Palestine ever existed and before Islam came into existence around ~600ad) and both are religious nuts hellbent on destroying one another. I just feel bad for the innocent civilians stuck between two genocidal, warring factions of religious fanatics. Anyone who tries to claim one side here is more legitimate than the other or is more depraved than the other is just ignoring reality. Obviously Palestine is the “underdog” here but it doesn’t mean they aren’t committing war crimes en masse

lps2 ,

This is 100% about the disease that is religion. And by your argument, Native Americans have no claims to land because they have been pushed off their ancestral land and have been gone for a long time - or have they not hit the imaginary line in the sand where it’s been long enough that they have “forfeited” their claim?

lps2 ,

Wow, speed running to otherization and dehumanization of those you don’t like. Fucking tankies being nazis as per usual. It’s like horseshoe theory in real time and shows you care more about ideological motivations than the despicable acts being committed so long as they align with you politically (which is funny because both sides here are authoritarian, theocratic regimes)

lps2 ,

Ahh yes, let me pick one genocidal piece of shit to support so as to ensure I am not viewed as smug

lps2 ,

Clearly you didn’t read my other replies in this thread where I expressed concern for the innocent people stuck between two warring regimes. Nowhere do I support the status quo, the atrocities being committed by Israel especially in the west bank / Gaza, nor do I ignore the open air prison that Palestinians have been forced into since the 1940s - but feel free to continue putting words in my mouth

After using and hosting Gitlab for years and having to move over to GitHub enterprise for my new role… Holy shit does GitHub suck. It’s organization and projects are trash and GitHub Actions barely scratches the surface of what was easy in Gitlab. I don’t know how it got so big with such a terrible UI and limited feature set.

Seriously no nested orgs, shared CI/CD variables, or a kanban board that makes sense (new projects is so much worse than legacy). I hate Github

Can someone explain Usenet to a long-time torrent-er?

I’m a pretty heavy torrent user, running a media server complete with sonarr/radarr for automatic downloads. I download a lot, and have multiple TBs of upload on various private trackers. I’ve been torrenting forever, but I’ve always wondered about usenet. Over and over on this, and other, forums I see people saying that...

lps2 ,

Curious how it is now as I used to be a Usenet person back when fserves and bots on IRC channels were some of the best ways to request and get nzbs to throw into your Usenet client. I’ve been a torrent user on private trackers for the last 15 years and while I have everything automated, I still run into quality issues or rogue releases with inaccurate language info / subtitles / etc

New UN migration chief says private sector 'desperate' to take migrants despite negative narrative (apnews.com)

The new head of the U.N.'s migration agency said Monday that the private sector is “desperate” for their countries to take in migrants to mop up labor shortages, especially in the West — endeavoring to steer a narrative away from reticence and suspicion about migrants in many parts of the world....

You seem to be ignoring where profits are going - shareholders have, for decades, taken far more than their fair share of things and wages absolutely can go up without driving companies out of business it’s just that one group has to take less and that’s the shareholders. Employers will continue to do anything in their power to keep shareholders happy over employees and that absolutely includes bringing in cheaper, migrant labor. It’s not a labor shortage, it’s a wage shortage and investing in productivity doesn’t reduce jobs, it creates new ones - often that require a different skill set than the one it replaced and that’s one reason we are failing, we aren’t helping people acquire new skills en mass

Seems FigJam is somewhat popular in the space? It’s an Adobe product now since they acquired Figma. There’s also Miro and LucidChart that are popular

lps2 ,

To each their own, I really don’t like Miro as is just graphical, no way to export my data in a machine readable format. In LucidChart I could create an ERD diagram or BPMN chart and get it in say XML in a format that I could actually script on top of to help with development. As for direct Figma competitors, I’ve really enjoyed self-hosting PenPot

Really like the hardware but the software is utter shit

Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans?

Dear lemmy, someone very close to my heart is starting to fall into conspiracy theories. It’s heartbreaking.

What confused the fuck outta me as someone who has been in the crypto space since 2010 is that it wasn’t new or novel in any way. Colored Coins was virtually the same thing and it flopped in a similar fashion and there were several similar projects that did the same or never made it off the ground. Then, some shitty monkey drawings come along, are backed by virtually the same thing I had seen before and suddenly people I knew from my hometown who barely had two brain cells to rub together were claiming to be financial and tech gurus while peppering “block chain” into conversation. The one thing that brings me solace is that they all lost their investments

I mean, sure, if you ignore 200 years of judicial precedent and radically reimagine the definition of the 2nd amendment.

So instead of ignoring reality, how about we push laws that severely restrict gun ownership as that actually has a chance of passing and being upheld and maybe some new precedent gets set that allows more, similar laws to further reign things in

After Dobbs you really think the SC is going to support your position any time in the next 20 years?

lps2 ,

Your comment above around Dobbs kinda proves otherwise and that’s a big part of the problem - the legislative branch has abdicated responsibility over the last ~25 years and have decided to instead politicize the judiciary so while the supreme Court has lost legitimacy in the eyes of many Americans, they unfortunately very much have the authority
