Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.

Meanwhile, this is Harvard University senior Shruthi Kumar, who went off script as she gave the English commencement address, slamming Harvard for denying the degrees. She read from notes that she pulled out of her graduation gown.

This should get air time. While the others walked out in solidarity together, she's putting herself on the line individually. It gives administration a name to the crowd.

An important part that seems lost in this:

Yoel Roth, the company’s former head of moderation and safety who resigned in November after Musk’s takeover, posted Wednesday on the Twitter competitor Bluesky that “it’s insane to write ‘we have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation’ while also arbitrarily reinstating accounts that share” child sexual abuse material.

Roth fled his home late last year after Musk, in tweets to his more than 100 million followers, suggested Roth had encouraged children to access adult material online, a misrepresentation of Roth’s graduate-school writing that exposed him to online harassment and death threats.

“This guy blew up my life by saying I condone pedophilia, and then he turns around and does this,” Roth said on Bluesky.

Read everyone, this is hype, and Canada is being dumb on this one.

The Flipper Zero is also incapable of defeating keyless systems that rely on rolling codes, a protection that's been in place since the 1990s that essentially transmits a different electronic key signal each time a key is pressed to lock or unlock a door.

Most of this reaction is due to staged videos on TikTok and politicians not understanding technology. Maybe they'll stop a few joyriding kids, but car thiefs aren't using F0s.

For posterity, but also for forks if the repos go down, I have created https://github.com/SimplerMobileTools and downloaded all the original repos, branches, and tags which will soon be uploaded there.

I have already got SM Gallery compiling, so thats a start, and will upload all the repos tomorrow when its not so late.

Note: Any former maintainer of SMT will be added on to SrMT upon request.

EDIT: All forks updated with notice of rationale and link to this discussion.

EDIT2: https://github.com/FossifyOrg is a soft fork created by one of the current maintainers. I will keep the hard fork up just in case.

Yea the post is misleading. The community is games@lemmy.world not /c/games. That's reddit language creeping in.

Posting this at top level since its burried in replies:

Fact time. You don't always die when shot, and the US is a baby factory. I can't find good stats on non-lethal gunshot, so I'll do the rest.

Verdict: Pretty accurate.

  • 8.4% without health insurance (33 in 400)
  • 11.5% poverty rate (46 in 400)
  • 20% adults at or below literacy level 1 (80 in 400)
  • 57% mental illness untreated (228 in 400) (requires math from NIH source)

Let's not let Apple sugar coat. An appropriate title:

"Apple has layoffs and shadily tries to hide it"

11 million comments this month. 11 million comments from people smart enough to leave behind the other. 11 million comments, likely largely from actual humans.

Lemmy is thriving.

Calling out rude people needs to be normalized. Stop being polite to those who aren't.

Hot take: The ruling is accurate.

Vote for candidates who privatize utilities. Get what you vote for.

Only sucks for those that can't leave and are stuck with a system they can't correct.

Reynold’s attorney said they offered to swap her their lot right next door or sell her the house at a discount. But she has refused both offers. “It would set a dangerous precedent if you could go onto someone else’s land, build anything you want, and then sue that individual for the value of it,” DiPasquale said.

Good for her.

Important context:

  • Data was recovered

I'll add one thing to other's responses. Make sure she, not they, but she is covered financially. If she spends 10 years with him, not developing her career, and he drops her, will she be OK?

I.E. its perfectly OK for them to have this arrangement, it's not OK for her to be in a situation where she feels trapped by money.

So some facts here:

  • Commercial truck carrying gravel
  • This was a rebuilt bridge, not a historic one
  • The owner of the construction company has proactively offered to pay for repairs
  • Yes, the driver is am idiot and made a mistake, and is probably going to hear about it for the rest of their lives.

It's been said before: Google does not find you the best result for your query. Google finds you the result that makes them the most money from AdSense and has words from your query.

If Mozilla wasn't funded by Google, the best thing they could do is include a helpful/unhelpful ranking for websites, then filter Google results by that. Search should be social, not commercial.

In 12 months, will this be a big deal? Probably not, so don't risk your job over it (IMO).

"Sorry boss, had a rough day, couldn't concentrate and a simple question threw me off my game. I know I left you in a bad place short handed, and I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again."

If a coworker brings it up:

"Just had a rough day, not something I really want to talk about. Anyway, what did you get into last night?"

Everyone, and I mean everyone, has been where you are in some way, shape, or form. It's OK, and you'll be OK, too.
