  Blood line is a literal line of blood between the family. In-laws don’t count. It’s important when talking about royalty and you trace back whether someone has actual “royal blood” or is just an in law that married into the family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you like/dislike about lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My only gripe is it is EXTREMELY left leaning in general, and if anyone has a less polarizing opinion about something the hive mind reacts.

  Not to mention you can’t talk about anything political without someone bringing up how my political views promote genocide.

  I am on the fence about switching to a Galaxy this year. Someone convince me. I’m coming from an iPhone 12. My biggest hangup is going to be moving my stuff over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trickle down⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just from personal experience cash gifts to employees can backfire because on average people are selfish and when you give cash many will get upset because you could have given more. What I do is give coupons for free lunch like I’ll buy them a plate from any nearby restaurant. It’s pretty inexpensive and it makes them feel like money is not an issue since they can choose any menu item.

  If I’m being honest there are no good options for not spending to appreciate employees. There is always a cost but it’s worth it if you genuinely care about your employees. The more they feel like you care the cash value of your gift becomes less important.

  I saw an interview with Jack Ma (I think) where he said his job isn’t to be the smartest at the job. His job is to find the smart people and make sure they work together. I think that may be what’s happening here. Leadership is incapable of holding the engineers accountable and making sure they follow all safety protocols. Whether that is incompetence or malice I’m sure we’ll never know for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the problem. You have to buy a brand new phone because your phone is locked. With this law if you bought your phone outright you could switch carriers within 2 months if you found a better deal. Can’t currently do that in the US.

  Poverty is wealth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “T-Mobile claims that with a 60-day unlocking rule, “consumers risk losing access to the benefits of free or heavily subsidized handsets because the proposal would force providers to reduce the line-up of their most compelling handset offers.”

  I’m I stupid or are they threatening to arbitrarily raise prices for no reason other than spite?

  Also wtf is a “handset”?

  That’s a testament to the tolerance of millennials. We are more open minded and will at least listen to what our kids have to say.

  It’s ugly and you he fold is noticeable which is distracting when watching videos. Not to mention Huawei is banned in the US

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No because it’s ugly. The fold is noticeable in the Samsung version as well. Very easy to tell the screen isn’t glass and that is bothersome when watching videos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple is leaning into the criticism that all they do is copy Samsung tech. Nobody wants a folding iPhone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else getting this message when they try to comment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This type of forum relies on volunteers. They are doing the best they can. I rarely see posts ever get locked. I’m sure this one was locked because it got out of control.

  More and more I am tempted to buy one of those 36,000 lumen flashlights and shine it at people who refuse to remove their high beams. You can tell when it’s just a tall truck and some asshole with high beams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like you are implying you have entered a wide range of fields and can speak for multiple industries about typing.

  To me it seems like you have done many entry level positions which yes, most require a lot of typing. I know it’s hard to imagine but there are a lot of blue collar jobs that use computers but don’t care if you type fast. Did you know the mechanic that changes your oil uses a computer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know your age or your skill at typing but I can tell you look down on people who type with 2 fingers.

  I have never learned to type correctly and have been using 2 fingers my whole life. Yes it’s slower than if I had learned but I have never felt slowed by it not have I ever been told my performance is lacking because of it. I don’t even really look at the keyboard anymore when I type because I memorized where the keys are. Much like you do on a phone I know where all the keys are and I type fast.

  I know you can’t imagine it but hunt and peck would describe a person that had never seen a keyboard. That’s not how many people type.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because you can’t imagine it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. There are plenty of jobs that use computers but you don’t need to transcribe anything. In my job we use excel a ton. I only need to type a few sentences. The rest is copy paste and using formulas. I do just fine with 2 fingers.

  Granted I type pretty fast even like that and don’t have to look at the keyboard much to type. Mostly just to reposition my hands from time to time. Much like you would on a phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re confusing the action of typing with the skill of typing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  typing isn’t as useful a skill as it use to be. Not many jobs need it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the meat and potatoes of the article.

  In 2023, they decided that the best way to deal with the problem was to secretly bolt a Starlink terminal to the “O-5 level weatherdeck” of a US warship.

  They called the resulting Wi-Fi network “STINKY”—and when officers on the ship heard rumors and began asking questions, the leader of the scheme brazenly lied about it. Then, when exposed, she went so far as to make up fake Starlink usage reports suggesting that the system had only been accessed while in port, where cybersecurity and espionage concerns were lower.

  Rather unsurprisingly, the story ends badly, with a full-on Navy investigation and court-martial.

  I really like Space Marine. It was my introduction to the series and I even dabbled in the multiplayer which I normally never do. I tried future war hammer games and they just never clicked for me.
