My wife works in a restaurant, and the power-tripping manager has instituted a new policy where all shift changes must be approved by management. I think that is reasonable enough, but they’re also asking the originally-scheduled employee why they are switching shifts, then approving or denying based on the answer....
Seriously don’t understand managers like this. Also a manager, qnd I’ll even find the coverage if someone needs a day off. I know how nerve wracking it is as an employee calling around asking someone to cover your shift, its a lot easier for me to send a mass text. Incidentally, the staff seem much more willing to pick up shifts this way.
Yeah, I’ve blocked @bot so I don’t accidentally do that. I could see it maybe being useful back before the massive influx we recently had, and only if it posted the top 3 or so posts of a subreddit per day.
Now it’s useless, arguably making Lemmy worse. It seems plenty active here now that I’ve subscribed to a bunch of (real) communities.
Wow this couldn’t be any more transparent. Laziest way to get easy PR after the stream of terrible decisions they’ve made. Thankfully doesn’t look like anyone’s buying it.
Looking forward to watching the cat-and-mouse game of people writing “fuck /u/spez” and the admins deleting it. Gonna be a shitshow.

Just curious what do people have in mind, when they say a game is “working great” or “perfectly”. I believe I’m in the minority, but I just can’t enjoy a game under 45 FPS, or if the resolution has to be under 720p and the UI/text is all blurry because of it. Perhaps it’s because I’m used to playing mainly on PC....
30 fps and low graphics ia good by me. I grew up with old consoles, having something like Cyberpunk running on a handheld is insane to me.
I honestly don’t get the whole “120fps 4K or literally unplayable” mindset. Ill notice the difference in a side-by-side, but other than that as long as theres little to no lag its perfectly fine.

Can you provide some evidence for your claim of US agents on staff for censorship purposes, as well as elaborate on which speech you believe is being removed?
99% of the time I see people upset about ‘censorship’ of online spaces, they’re mad about far-right hate-speech or dangerous misinformation.
No its the otherway around. /r/anime_titties is a world news/politics subreddit. Oddly enough it had more mature discussion than most of the other news subs.
You want to know why I love dat boi? Dat boi is a completely self-made meme. So many other memes are based in nostalgic childrens shows, funny faces, relatable situations, or references. Not dat boi. Dat boi is completely absurd. It’s a low-res frog on a unicycle, and an arbitrary method for greeting him. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so out of recognition. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so because a pre-existing meme format. The first person to ever upvote dat boi upvoted a meme literally pulled from the ether by sheer human creativity and willpower. Dat boi is evidence that humans can stare into the meaningless void of eternity and force their own meaning onto to it. I will always upvote dat boi, o shit waddup!
I had a dream I was on a plane. A totally normal flight. Going in for a landing when things went wrong at the last minute. I swear I could feel the heat of the flames as I saw them coming through the fuselage as the plane is breaking up around me. I woke up on my feet beside my bed sweating. I’ve never had a dream like that...
When I was about 3 or 4 I had a dream that a purple alien landed in my backyard, and turned the neighbour’s dog against me. I was too young to understand what dreams were all about and I was terrified of sleeping for a long time.
I found this one under the carpet. Someone had swept it under. Possibly she herself. If you don’t know this face, you’re in luck. You’ll get to experience it all anew. Click here....
It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?
Only issue I’d see with the WAN show is that a large chunk of it is LTT meta discussion. If you don’t watch/care about LTT that could get a little dull. Same with merch messages.
It leaks out a bit if you watch enough of his videos. I don’t get the sense that he’s right-wing in a MAGA ultra-bigot way, he’s just very very libertarian. Loose gun laws, low-taxes, government stay outta my life kinda guy.
Not the kind of politics I subscribe to, but I don’t consider him to be a bad person for it.
Say you’re having major surgery, like installing some new ribs, and half way through the surgery, while your chest is wide open, the surgeon just leaves. Like he just decides to go home and leave you there....
There would be some other doctor in the hospital that would sew you back up, that surgeon would go to jail for a while, you’d be on the news, win massive lawsuit.
If I own a phone I think I should have the ability to do what I want with it, like installing sideloaded apps and customizing it however I want. There’s also much more choice in hardware.
That said, there’s some neat features on iOS that I’m a little jelly of.
That’s probably not accurate. I did the same thing and it confidently told me it was a specific episode from a show called W.I.T.C.H., the episode didn’t exist and the show didn’t match the description.
ChatGPT makes shit up all the time, you need to fact-check it before copypasting answers.
At this point we’re just rooting for which garbage fire burns faster. Right now I’m cheering for Twitter, I’ll give Threads a year or so before I look forward to watching it crash and burn.

"While it may just be a Barbie map in a Barbie world, the fact that a cartoonish, crayon-scribbled map seems to go out of its way to depict the PRC’s unlawful territorial claims illustrates the pressure that Hollywood is under to please CCP censors,”
I don’t know how someone can start a statement like that and get that conclusion. After finally seeing the “map” this is looking schizo-level delusional. I don’t know how anyone can be dumb enougb to take this seriously.
Totally, I really wish the panic would die down. I’d love it if I could bring my friends over here, and there’s no way they’re going to do that without something like Threads.

given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?
Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?
