I know someone that works there - they had an internal ticket cut to their manager for not coming into the office 3 days a week. Their manager knew nothing about it and wasn’t expecting it at all. Pretty dumb that they’re saying it makes employees more productive when they had their record profits while everyone was working from home in 2020/2021.
Last week, two papers by South Korean scientists made an extraordinary claim that sparked a social media frenzy and pushed up prices of some stocks in China and South Korea: the discovery of a practical superconductor....
After looking into this a bit last night, it seems that all of the preliminary results are showing that it does not have super conducting properties. Of course, I’ll wait and see, but even universities in SK are doubtful.
So, there’s not evidence then I see. How is asking for conclusive scientifc evidence before extraordinary claims “moving the goal posts”? Do you think I have personal skin in this game or something? It seems that you are being blinded by the possibilities, but that’s not how science works.
That’s a lot of word vomit to say that there is no peer reviewed evidence yet.
Notice how I’m not closing the door on it completely? Yet you seem to be completely sold in regard to the original claims with there being little to no evidence, and in fact NO peer reviewed evidence yet.
Former president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, appearing in the federal courthouse that sits just blocks away from where his angry supporters stormed the Capitol building in an effort to keep him in power.
Nope, I just told you: none of them know you personally. Including Bernie. Seems like I really struck a nerve here, probably because you tied yourself to the Bernie ship that sunk in 2016.
Freedom of speech is about the government not getting in the way of you saying what you want. But I understand that you don’t actually care about freedom of speech, don’t worry!
Depending on your thermostat, you might be able to find satellite sensors for each of your rooms. I did this and we can change which temperature sensor the thermostat monitors.
Former President Donald Trump was indicted for an unprecedented third time on August 1, adding another set of serious federal charges to the mounting legal issues he faces.
It’s not possible for him to receive the death penalty for these charges, the max is 20 years per count. On top of that, the fed doesn’t have the death penalty anymore, as far as I understand.
That being said, it is very possible he will go to prison in some fashion. Of course he will never be with the gen pop, but just because he has an SS detail doesn’t mean he can’t go to prison. Also, it could be possible to strip him of the detail, but I’m pretty sure that will be figured out if the time comes.
Problem is, he’s losing a lot of that power now. He doesn’t have many friends in high places these days, even the supreme court has done things to rule against him. I don’t doubt he’ll try to draw it out, but ultimately it’s not up to him anymore.
While that may be the explicit language for the charge, the feds don’t really tend to execute people in the modern post-Gregg era, with a notable exception: Donald Trump restarted executions from the feds when he took office. So, slight correction to my OP. I guess it would be possible, but I highly doubt the US Government would do something as drastic as executing a previous president.
On a personal level here, I am 100% against the death penalty. Even for fucks like this. What’s worse, death, or living your final years in a concrete box and dying there instead? I’d much rather people like him get lost in their own thoughts.
Many thought the halt of scripted programming would lead to a reality boom, but even as fall schedules rely heavily on unscripted, workers still grapple with diminished job opportunities, long hours and a lack of union support: "We get starved out all the time."
My county has an open data site that hosts several datasets including building footprint, addresses, parks, and even some recent imagery. There aren’t very many active mappers in my area, so this would be a great help. Is there a way I can go through the proper channels to incorporate this data? Anyone have experience in doing...
Duplicacy is a great solution, well worth the cheap price. It can do changes only over many different protocols.
I also would recommend setting up something like Uptime-Kuma on it, and also an instance of it home. This way you have an external monitor for your own home network, but also a monitor for your backups! Both Duplicacy and Uptime-Kuma can run on docker.
Yep, OpenAI especially wants to create regulation for everyone else except them (and now apparently other companies in this group). They made that clear in their “testimony” to congress. Rules for thee but not for me.
Mozilla does not exist because of Google. Google doesn’t have controlling power over Mozilla, nor do they have power over the many forks. It’s hilarious that you think a company would give a shit about being a monopoly; that’s what they strive for. This stupid take has been going around for years, and I’m sad to see it spread to Lemmy.

Yeah, nothing could give me hope in this regard. No matter what your average individual does, corporations and billionaires will continue to pollute. And the fact that the article starts by putting the blame on the reader’s carbon footprint is hilarious.
I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?
I hate to ask the scary question, but have you tried to restore your backups before? I used Duplicati and discovered that none of my backups were usable and ended up switching to Duplicacy.
