Oregon high schoolers won't have to prove proficiency in core subjects for at least five more years. Here's why education officials suspended the graduation requirement.
Yep, this news actually broke a couple days ago, I remember seeing a Brave fanboy having a meltdown over it and ranting about how Mozilla is the real shady company, blah, blah, blah.
Between a decade+ on reddit and now here on lemmy I’ve learned most of the time when someone’s whining about a headline or insinuating that the media is purposefully misleading they’re just upset that headlines don’t contain the entire article. Which is obviously a very stupid criticism. It’s surprisingly common but it’s stupid all the same.
Nice! I’ll usually make a couple batches of my favorite soups in the fall and freeze indvidual potions to eat throughout the winter. Nothing beats a freezer full of homemade soups.
Highlights: In 2015, upstate New York judge Robert J. Putorti was overseeing a court hearing involving a Black defendant. Nothing out of the ordinary for a judge to do right? Except, when a Black man approached the stand “too quickly,” Judge Putorti pulled a loaded gun on him in court....
If this sounds like the behavior of some hick from a single-traffic light town that’s because that’s exactly what he is. According to the AP article about this case he’s from Whitehall which is a town in upstate NY near Glens Falls with 4k residents. Just another reminder to avoid Upstate.
Hi there! I thought I should give you all an update on Voyager as a newsletter format. This may become a regular thing, maybe not, I’m still not sure. :)...
Would it be possible to make it so that long pressing the profile button opens the account switcher? Perhaps as an alternative option to the way it’s currently done or as a replacement entirely? It’s pretty much the only thing Apollo had that I’d really like to see added to a future update. Voyager as it presently exists is otherwise the perfect Lemmy app for me, so thank you for the hard work!
The force said it had followed “proper procedure” by sending a forensic pathologist to the woodland near Kineton, and cordoning off a country lane for 31 hours. But the suspected body was actually a “discarded and realistic life-size doll”, a spokesperson added.
Police chief: Alright gents what’ve we got here now.
Officer 1: Well, we recieved a call from a man who spotted a woman’s hand and foot sticking out of some undergrowth in the woods over there [points in general direction]
Police chief: Right, and I see you’ve already cordoned off the area, and called in the forensic pathologist. Excellent. [turns to pathologist] So what else can you tell me about the victim?
Forensic pathologist: What, me? Oh no, I haven’t had a look. Sounds a bit morbid.
Police chief: You didn’t even make sure it was a dead person? What’ve you two been doing here for the last 30 sodding hours?
Officer 1: Well you don’t have to raise your voice. We’re standing right here.
Police chief: I know you’re standing right there, that’s the problem!
Oh damn, did lemmy.film shut down? That’s a major bummer. I really liked the Movies and TV community.
As Lemmyworld and lemmy.ml already have most of the active communities, I thought it would be interesting to have this one (maybe two, one for movies, one for TV) on lemm.ee ?
That’s exactly why I chose to post articles in [email protected] over the movies/tv communities on lemmy.world. I try to support communities in smaller instances by posting relevant content but I guess this is just an inherent risk of lemmy.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.
but then about an hour later, halfway through a conversation with them, I’ll remember I was mad, but at that point I’ve already been friendly with them so I can’t go back to being mad.
lol no offense intended but this dilemma is so much funnier if you imagine it was written by a golden retriever.
Their offer, confirmed by Clooney’s spokesperson on Thursday, would provide the union an extra $150 million over three years and could help fund improved health benefits....
“A lot of the top earners want to be part of the solution,” Clooney told Hollywood publication Deadline
Look, this is a super swell offer but George Clooney shouldn’t be bailing major studios out of their obligations. They can afford to settle the strike all on their own they just choose not to. Frankly, I think George should stop trying to score points for his generosity and grab a picket sign and make himself useful. He isn’t the problem but he’s not the fucking solution either.
Oooh yeah that’d explain it. I had ‘user instance’ labeling disabled in my app. It’s cool that mastodon users can explore and interact with lemmy and all but jeez does the implementation suck.
Update: Brave plans to address the issue in a future release. The VPN service will only be installed after a user purchases the VPN.
“Oh gee whiz did we do that?! Woopsie doodle! We’ll fix it someday!”
Furthermore, no data is sent to Brave from the VPN services. End
This might be true but the bigger problem is I have exactly zero reason to believe anything Brave says about the things they’re installing on people’s machines without consent. If you’re still using Brave at this point you’re a fool.
