Pretty sure that’s a plain.

sbv ,

Leave. Go for a walk, or a coffee, or go home. Nobody knows you aren’t in a meeting room.

If your co-workers are into it, have a LAN party. I used to work at a place that had a daily management-approved kill session. It was good.

I wish we could deescalate this conflict because it benefits NOBODY.

/uj

  • China benefits because they have an enemy that plays well to a domestic audience
  • China would benefit if it could get TSMC’s foundries undamaged;
  • US benefits because Taiwan wants a big buddy to keep it safe, so they’re forced into a de facto alliance
  • US benefits because it has somewhere to park warships off China’s shores

/rj MIC goes brrrrrrrrrr

sbv ,

tsmc has already said they’ve installed kill switches on these.

They’d be the first target if/when open hostilities break out. c/ncd loves to shit on the PLA, but I bet this is something they’d try to get right.

sbv ,

If I was Winnie the Pooh, I’d pay Owl to go under deep cover for years to get control over the switches, or Kanga to make sure the Switch Master is indisposed when a military assault begins, or Eeyore to physically disable the switches before the attack. Winnie the Pooh has lots of options.

Winter! Winter sports are awesome. Snow is beautiful. Long dark nights are cozy.

sbv ,

Totally agree. I am not compatible with summer.

sbv ,

Huh. It sounds like TV had it right this time. I assumed smelling salts were a convenient plot device, rather than an actual thing.

sbv ,

I have no idea if I’ll ever use this, but it sounds like a great feature.

I think there are much better social media platforms for sharing clips. From what I’ve seen, most of Twitter is people angrily typing opinions at each other, so your target demographic may not be there. The UI is designed for text rather than video, and responses/reactions don’t integrate nicely with videos.

Sharing game clips on video-oriented social media makes a tonne sense, however.

Let me guess, the downside is infinite teeth.

When did you know a career was either the perfect or the worst match for your personality?

I’m trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they’re in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like “do you prefer to work sitting or moving around,” “do you want to not work...

sbv ,

I started programming as a teen. I didn’t realize I could do that as a job (weird, I know), so I looked into lucrative careers I could do so I could afford to have lots of free time to program. Then I discovered that programming was also a job.

The data has costs associated with it: they’ll want to back it up, they need to migrate it when they change formats, they need to maintain the hardware it resides on.

And, as the article mentions, there are liabilities around law enforcement requests, costs due to data breaches, and regulatory requirements.

Three months is plenty for them to target ads.

sbv ,

I guess they’re discovering that your grocery store trip on Feb 17, 2017 does not help them target ads.

sbv ,

You don’t want to run afoul of big slop

This is the level of sympathy I have come to expect from the Internet.

That was an interesting read. Thanks for linking to it.

Cyberpunk RED TTRPG community.

Shadowrun TTRPG community.

Polandball.

A community for my home town.

A Canadian politics and current affairs community.

A community for some of the podcasts I listen to would be nice.

We have a few of those here, but they aren’t too active and they have a pretty narrow Overton window (ie, I tend to agree with most posts and comments).

I tried posting that kind of stuff. It was thankless. Nobody else started posting. I gave up.

we can rebuild her

dirty onanists spilling their seed

What is spilled cannot die

That’s pretty interesting. It looks like they define inaccessible links as urls that get a 404 or the server doesn’t resolve.

I wonder if there are any real implications of this. We seem to know it and work around it in some cases, e.g. StackOverflow saying answers need to contain quotes from pages they reference.

sbv ,

How does the group reach consensus on N?

sbv ,

needing a login that would require an email address is sketchy as hell on the surface, and there’s no explanation given.

The link to the explanation is right beside the text saying you need an account.

Don’t

sbv ,

no no no this is the internet that’s not how we do things here

sbv ,

Who needs a political officer when you have a McHalftrack?

sbv ,

they’re gonna need therapy

sbv ,

They have to be actual cross posts though, don’t they? Would that catch the same link spammed across multiple instances and communities?

sbv ,

I think she’s more of a dom.

sbv ,

We could. But the crews develop a bond with the gimp, and there’s better overall cohesion and performance.

I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality?

I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn’t be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.

Lemmy skews old. For some of us, those are foundational events in our childhood.

(Kinda joking/kinda serious)

sbv ,

Older than what? Here are self reported stats from lemmy.ca:

I like Sync. It’s fast and I find it really easy to use.

sbv ,

sorry, what?

UNLEASH THE DRONE

Generation Squeeze is a Canadian organization that advocates for similar changes.

For our first kid we got an audio monitor. After a couple of weeks we sort of stopped using it. With our second kid, we didn’t bother.

What are you? Some kind of ecosystem?

I immediately came up with the name “poop wagon shit horse” but nobody wanted to join.

I don’t think software releases tell the story. From a non-mod perspective, Lemmy is an okay Reddit replacement.

But, recently, there seem to be fewer non-bot posts. The communities I follow have a handful of active users. It feels like it’s stagnant at best.

What are some free interests/things/hobbies you can do in the city?

I live alone and I’m just wasting away my time here. It’s actually making me very depressed to be honest. I do live in the city which makes think there ought to be at least something to do out here. Though I can’t really afford to spent money on it every day....

sbv ,

Pick up sports, or adult leagues. It can be hit or miss, but I made some good friends playing in rec soccer.

sbv ,

That was a nice read. Thanks for writing it.
