Generally speaking, algorithms on these sites don’t serve me a ton of videos with no views from creators with no followers, en masse.

If you are based in America, you will want to keep a close eye on the semi-regular attempts from congress to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
If it’s ever successfully repealed, you’d become liable for anything posted to your forum.

This is true, but one thing I noticed with AC Shadows is that there were a LOT of no-name streamers posting reels with fake hype over the game. It was a little egregious and came off as more than a little desperate.

A catalog for organizing various Roms you have. It can pull metadata from a number of courses and properly add all the details, cover art, and platform information to each game. It’s smart enough to auto-generate collections based on game series, and embed YouTube videos for gameplay of each one without even any configuration.
The best part? It has Ruffle and EmulatorJS built in so you can play any games supported by EmulatorJS in your browser. I tested games up to N64 and they all ran smooth as butter right in the browser with gamepad configurations built in.

Jellyfin is ugly, buggy, and the options to secure it aren’t really up to snuff.
If Jellyfin implemented proper SSO support (without needing the plugin) and the clients worked with it as well, I’d be much more willing to use Jellyfin.

The U.S. is doing one of those things, to Russia. The other Russia is doing to itself.

That’s definitely part of it, but I think a bigger contributor is iMessage. iPhones have a dominant market share in the US and iMessage has been the gold standard for a long time and it doesn’t even use the SMS system.

It’s like with email addresses, you can have the same email address as someone else as long as you have different servers, like @gmail.com or @yahoo.com. So this one is Selhosted@lemmy.world I believe, and it’s the largest on Lenny I believe.
- Comment on Release v1.130.0 · immich-app/immich 1 week ago:
What has to be fixed for me to use it in production is the apps connection to the back end to not break every time it’s updated. Because on iOS app updates are forced, but the server I update less frequently and if they’re not the same version the app doesn’t work.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 week ago:
I am an absolute die hard Hitman fan. I’ve played all of them. Replayed the whole series last year. Blood money was a better sandbox by far than the previous games. And it’s still a blast to go back and play just for the nostalgia and the vibes. But the people who insist today that it’s better than the World of Assassination trilogy are smoking crack. Not only that, but in some ways Blood Money was a big downgrade from the previous games. Hitman 3 in its current state today incorporates all the best things about Blood Money, the games that came before it, the game came after it, while cutting out the negatives.

Yeah the pedantry on your behalf is a bit much, but you do you.
No, they can’t ask for a specific form of ID
A social security card is quite literally a specific form of ID. Therefore your wild claim that employers are allowed to require it is wrong. They can only require that you provide them an acceptable document from a predefined list. Providing your social security card is merely one of the documents from the list you can choose to provide. No employer is allowed to require it.

My “wild claim” is the law, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security. And I’m going to trust the very agency requiring this documentation in the first place over some random HR person on Lemmy who does their job poorly.
4. Can I ask an employee to show a specific document when completing Form I-9?
No. The employee may choose which document(s) they present from the Lists of Acceptable Documents. You must accept any document (from List A) or combination of documents (one from List B and one from List C) listed on Form I-9 and found in Section 13.0 that reasonably appear to be genuine and to relate to the person presenting them. To do otherwise could be an unfair immigration-related employment practice that violates the anti-discrimination provision in the INA.

Because the context of the thread here is a scenario where you’ve lost your social security card.

Then I would suggest you not try to split hairs. It is not a legal requirement to provide an employer with your social security card, and they do not need to keep copies of any of your identifying documents on file. These two preceding statements are objectively and inarguably true. Any argument of “Well you can always CHOOSE to provide them” is neither here nor there. I can choose to provide my social security card to a crackhead on the street corner, but that has nothing to do with legal requirements either.

Yes, any employer/HR outfits that tell you that they require your social security card are grossly misinformed, as that would not be legal.

You’re required to see proof of identity and authorization to work, however you are NOT required to see the social security card specifically, nor are you legally allowed to require it of your prospective employees. And even if they do bring their social security card for you to verify, you are NOT required to make your own copy of it unless you’re reviewing it remotely.

The employer can view a social security card or birth certificate, but they DO NOT need to retain a copy of it. And you can provide a number of documents in place of a social security card. It is absolutely not legal to require a social security card for work eligibility, it’s simply one of the options an employee may present.
I have worked many jobs legally in the U.S, several of which required extensive background checking and identity verification. Never once have I been required to present a social security card.

I wouldn’t say most, most will just ask for your SSN. They absolutely do not need the card for any reason whatsoever.

A good observation. Hence why one of those games can afford to launch during a crowded window and the other, despite their confidence in their work, and the quality of their work, could not. You’re starting to get it now.

That’s just not how these things work.
Also if an (already established) company’s future is jeopardized by a single game not doing well, I’m sorry but it’s not well managed. Ask me how I know.
That’s not really here nor there. It also isn’t really true.
