- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 4 days ago:
Please allow me this opportunity to jump in and complain about the minority, but not insignificant number, of people that don’t seem to be aware that that is even an option (just taking your foot off of the gas/accelerator to slowly decelerate).
Every couple weeks or so I seem to find myself behind someone that’s always either accelerating, or braking, with the brake lights repeatedly flashing on momentarily for no apparent reason. It’s like they realize that they’re going just a little faster than they want, and definitely don’t want to accelerate any more, so the only thing they know to do is hit the brake, instead of just taking their foot Off of the accelerator. So they’ve hit the brake and now they’re going too slow, so foot moves off the brake and back to the accelerator. Rinse, lather, repeat.
End rant. Thank you for this opportunity to vent.

Here’s a dumb idea.
How much money did the Federal Reserve print as a percentage of how much money was already in circulation?
There’s your inflation rate.
- Comment on Occasional weird spam posts by otherwise (seemingly) legitimate users? 5 days ago:
I’ve been seeing these posts in various communities for at least a couple weeks. I’ve seen some communities ban the user, but then a different user starts doing it. No idea what’s going on or what the point is.
For those that haven’t seen these posts and want to watch for them (if just for curiosity), sort by “New” occasionally. They get downvoted and/or deleted by mods pretty quickly, so they’re not likely to show up in most other sorts.

- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
Problem is that Lemmy/Fediverse simply doesn’t have the established depth and breadth of information that reddit does yet, and reddit does have it because it sort of killed the internet forums that would have existed foe those subjects. I agree, it’d be great to have more knowledge sources in Lemmy. Growing the community types would be a start, but that needs people and participation, and growth is hard.
That’s the problem OP is asking you to help solve.

Wales tells 404 Media that her husband,

This is her husband, the victim was her brother. We already know her husband is victims brother -in-law. That’s how that works.

- Comment on Take Action: Defend the Internet Archive 1 month ago:
unless I am confusing it with another petition thing?
Yes. Obama had a petition thing directly on the Whitehouse website, and he would respond to those that got enough signatures. Trump obviously deleted it.
My general opinion of change.org is that it’s just a placebo for people to feel like they’re doing something productive when they should be calling their relevant political representatives.
However, since the IA appears to have started this petition themselves, I agree with the other commenter that…
if the IA want these signatures, perhaps they need them.
- Comment on Meta Pissed Off Everyone With Poorly Redacted Docs 1 month ago:
In times like these, it’s hard not to wonder if this wasn’t the act of someone on the inside following the Simple Sabotage Field Manual.
More people should read it (it’s short) for inspiration on what skills they already possess (or can easily learn in advance) to fight fascism when the opportunity presents itself.
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 1 month ago:
Now what is more interesting is that comments per post varies by instance, lemmy.world for example has an engagement of 9.5 c/p and lemmy.ml has 4.8 c/p
I don’t understand what this is supposed to mean. The commenter’s account, or the community they posted to is on .world/.ml? Because those aren’t necessarily the same.

- Comment on Why Companies Don’t Fix Bugs 1 month ago:
Whenever the topic comes up with leadership, I try to explain it in financial terms.
Tech debt is just like financial debt. There are times when its appropriate and necessary to take on some debt. But debt accumulates interest charges. If just keep building up more debt without ever paying it down, it’ll eventually bankrupt the company.
The engineering team doesn’t always know when the finance team is accumulating debt or paying it back, but we trust that they are doing so appropriately.
You don’t always know when the engineering team is accumulating or paying off debt, but you need to trust that when we say we need time to to pay down tech debt, we’re serious. We’ll all be out of a job if we don’t.
They don’t usually like to hear it, but when put in those terms, they don’t have an argument against it. I’m sure if we could provide a statement showing we had $478,562.78 in tech debt at 4.75%, they’d be more understanding about paying it down.
