  Those names aren’t doing a very good job of whitewashing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder God⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Republican administrations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top D&D designers join Critical Role after quitting Wizards of the Coast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Either way, the money grab is why I didn’t get back into MtG recently.

  I considered sticking my toe in and was told “oh yeah, just buy a $90 commander precon and hop right in.”

  Yeah, no thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you need an ID? Leave it in your car if you’re driving.

  I don’t think there’s a single state that requires you to actually carry documentation.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_identify_statutes

  These are the states that require you to at least verbally state your name, and only if the officer has reasonable suspicion that you have or will commit a crime.

  They can ask your name. You may not have to answer.

  Research your state’s law on this before you go. It’s in the link.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Basically⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe, maybe not. Politicians have always had a finger in the wind on some issues. I think if you gave a decent historical account including things like current crime rates by race and the bombing of Tulsa, and just mention “generational wealth” like they’re already familiar with it, and then gave them 24 hours to sit on it, I think they’d all be good with it.

  Consider if someone took you, shoved you 200 years into the future and said, “Eating animals was some fucked up shit. Do you know what happened in Factory Farms? Really? Of course we’re all vegetarian.”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not supposed to make sense...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but that’s semantics. Clearly the observation has some effect, but it’s not from any force we recognize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 be vibin'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend thinks the jobs don’t exist, and they’re just posted so the company looks good.

  They definitely did that at college job fairs. They wanted to keep their spot, but weren’t hiring that year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Dox”. Unless you live in Vatican City, naming your country isn’t enough to be considered doxxing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ublock Origin + Firefox

  YouTube started detecting and complaining about that yesterday (for me).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  … or have a bit of empathy and talk to the teacher like a human.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatever happened to cheap eReaders? – Terence Eden’s Blog⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of the old mp3 player days before the iPod came in and dominated that market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(・∀・)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I told Bob not to fuck that panda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s a terrible idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Mirror AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, at this rate we’ll be just fine. (As long as this is still the Reagan administration.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fake keepass repo on github⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s taught me that bigger standard libraries are better. You still have similar issues, but at least nobody’s importing LeftPad. And your remaining dependency probably isn’t importing LeftPad either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fake keepass repo on github⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait til you hear about npm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the use of a comma instead of the word "and" in English news headlines always been a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We know it primarily from context switching. It’s a thing very specific to headline-speak

  Ironically when looking up “context switching” I got programming results. Apparently Wikipedia refers to the language thing as “code switching”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so dismissive.

  I spent a full year posting to !leagueoflegends@lemmy.world and interaction there is still minimal to dead.

  It’s not really the starting of communities that needs help. We need more people to be the second and third person to join and help communities that someone else is trying to start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rare insults dropped⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  nebula.tv/LegalEagle I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Understanding your target audience when marketing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, sweet summer child…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s a tw3?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today, The Document Foundation is releasing LibreOffice 24.8.7. Our goal is to offer citizens, businesses and governments from around the world quality and free software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The delete key asks what you’d like to delete.

  Unless I tell you otherwise, I always want to delete the contents of the cell. If I wanted to clear formatting, I would have done something more than just hit delete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“No Apple tax means we will lower prices” - Proton announces lower prices for users by up to 30% after US ruling against Apple fees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In a decade it’ll probably be the same price it was last year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“No Apple tax means we will lower prices” - Proton announces lower prices for users by up to 30% after US ruling against Apple fees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Here comes the Steam defenders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot

  I mean that’s unironically the problem. When there absolutely are bots out here, how do you tell?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Back then it was just old people trying to groom 16 year olds. Now it’s a nation’s intelligence apparatus turning our citizens against each other and convincing them to destroy our country.

  I wholeheartedly believe they’re here, too. Their primary function here is to discourage the left from voting, primarily by focusing on the (very real) failures of the Democrats while the other party is extremely literally the Nazi party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't be Evil⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They tried to say this wouldn’t work, but Bob the PM thinks its great and has ordered you to put it through. His only concession to your warning was “well, add an ‘lol’ or something to make it sound gamery”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, really good intellisense is a great improvement, but it’s not replacing devs any time soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they’re counting the six iterations of code it gives me as I tell it what’s wrong with each one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL about dating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also she’s absolutely right. That is the proper way to answer this insipid question.
