Okay I’m just gonna call somebody out - Imperious_melange just deleted a thread with over 200 upvotes where a thriving discussion was underway. It was about whether people perceived a pro-China and anti-west sentiment on Lemmy. I tried to post a reply and the site said “deleted by creator”. The thread was just gone. They also seem to have deleted their account, so I can’t even PM them. That’s all just a huge dick move.
Hadn’t noticed, but wow. I wonder what the motivation is to delete info that would help other people.
I felt the same way when I started messing with Arduino/ESP and 3d printing 8 or 9 years ago. Each was a whole new world of technology to explore that made me feel like I was back in high school or college. Except no exams and no bedtime!
That’s the most extreme cantilever I’ve ever seen. But without any information there’s no basis for judging it - for all we know it might have massive steel beams inside going deep into the ground, and could withstand a tornado better than the house behind it.
Great question! If it’s only a few GB I wouldn’t bother with tape. There are other options like
Let’s go for a walk in the park - they just cleaned the algae tanks!
Pretty good intro for absolute beginners here…
I think any app for text input should have word prediction. It’s mostly for phone users but I’ve found it so handy since getting a phone where it’s well implemented (Pixel 8) I’ve quickly come to think of it as an essential component that should be available to any app.
Thought it said “cats” for a second.
Company: Yes we’re charging you more… but on the other hand we’re giving you less, so it all evens out. Besides, changing hosts is a pain.
Customers: Changing hosts is such a pain.
Forget the kids, don’t let Meemaw find out!
Must be talking about a dwarf Trump pays to wipe his ass.
It’s been said that indecisiveness and perfectionism are liberal weaknesses, and decisiveness and being willing to ignore imperfections for the sake of the team are conservative strengths. I think Michael Moore put it best… Liberals say, “What should we do about dinner? I don’t know… do you want to go out? I dunno, do you? Well, if you do. Okay, where should we go? I dunno, where do you wanna go?” A conservative slams his hand on the table and says, “Get in the car, we’re goin’ to the Sizzler!”
Yea man, instead of just handing over the keys to the fascists they should be doing something, like creating angsty memes!
I’ve never been able to understand “employee engagement”. I became disengaged only a few years into my career, when it became very obvious that the whole corporate “we’re like family” pitch was pure bullshit. Yeah, like a family that kicks kids out the door when it has a couple bad quarters - a family that you’re supposed to love and go the extra mile for but don’t expect it to work the other way around.
As a software dev I became a contractor as soon as I learned about that way to make a living, and the few times I did accept full-time jobs it was with no expectation of anything but a paycheck. I don’t know how people actually believes the company sees them as anything more than a tool and a liability they don’t want. I figured out how much benefits are actually worth and how much more I could make hourly as a contractor, pay for my own insurance and afford unpaid time off. It’s really pretty simple math.
“But you have no job security!” LOL neither do you. Getting new contract jobs routinely took 2-3 weeks, no big deal. Clearly this is just one niche in the whole working world, and I consider myself lucky to have gone into a field where I could live that way. But honestly. believing the go-team-go bullshit really doesn’t make sense.
¿Por que no los dos?
I see extreme anti-carb mentality like teetotalling when the health goal is really just don’t be a drunkard.
So many other things are also non-binary, but people insist that not being 100% on their side means you’re a million percent on the extreme opposite hateful wrong side.
No, shit for brains, giving up your job is an actual commitment. Virtue signaling is a token gesture that costs you nothing - like throwing a million dollars at an inauguration party when you’re worth billions.
Seems like this is forbidden by rule 2: No spam.
