I believe they are referring to the Challenger lunar launch that exploded. What they believe it came down to was a tolerance issue in the O-Rings they were using which if I remember right was a concern already placed by the engineers.

The original image has something along the lines of “I hate this system” and the smug guy in the well is saying “Ah, and yet you participate in said system!” as a gotcha. I think the purpose in this one is just carrying over the smugness with which people post the XKCD when any new possible technological standard is proposed (whether or not it has any merits)
I think they’re arguing that unless you make yourself easily replaceable, you don’t have to make it a negotiation. They aren’t arguing the law, they’re just talking power dynamics.
Your point regarding the legalities of the situation wasn’t missed. I agree with you that we need rights, but the point on the other side is while they can indeed say no, they cannot compel you to come in through means other than threatening firing you. They can say no and attempt to intimidate you, but firing and retraining for most non-entry level roles is a lot of work and often not worth the time and effort compared to letting an employee have a week off.
So while it is formally a request, we as employees can present it as an ultimatum and often if you aren’t terrible at your job, the power-tripping boss will realize it is easier for them to acquiesce and let you have your vacation than it is to go through the hiring process.
Maybe it’s an instance thing, maybe it’s a Boost thing, but when I search for communities with the simple term “fitness” for example, I only get 5 results that have like, 30 members max....
Right now that is a bit of a sticking point with Lemmy. Right now, as far as I can tell, none of the apps for lemmy really do discovery.
If you are on an instance with a large amount of people, the easiest way is probably your instance’s communities list. This can be found by going to your lemmy instances web domain (in your case programming.dev) and log in. On desktop it will just show a little “communities” link in the top left you can click on, on the mobile site you have to tap trending -> explore communities.
What this “communities” list does is list every community that anyone on your instance has subscribed to. Subscriber and daily active user numbers may not be accurate as they as far as I can tell only count your instance’s users.
What I did when I first started lemmy was go through this list and subscribe to any community that remotely interested me.
The place where you will be able to see the absolute most number of communities is a lemmy indexer like lemmyverse.net which lists almost all instances and has all of their communities listed.
Other than that, though, I think discoverability is something actively being developed on the lemmy platform.
Hope this was helpful and you enjoy your time here o7

I recently moved closer to work, so now my commute is a 10-15 minute ebike ride. I really enjoy the ride, and (along with a small dose of caffeine) it really serves to wake me up in the morning. Basically my only complaint is that when it gets cold and rainy it can be hard to bring up the motivation to get on and ride. Honestly though, it’s nothing that can’t be overcome by some good rain gear. Honestly, I highly recommend going out and taking a nice ebike for a ride if anyone is on the fence about it. I was convinced pretty quickly.

Canada is the only country in the G7 that doesn't have a national school food program. Researchers say that as high inflation affects food prices, more children need access to these programs — but community groups say they need stable funding from the federal government to keep everyone fed.
Don’t know how to solve your problem but I too recently made the switch from gnome to KDE and I really do love everything they do design-wise. Everything being so round in gnome for some reason makes me feel like I’m in a childrens playspace haha

I didn’t mean to argue against the usefulness of LLMs entirely, they absolutely have their place. I was moreso referring to how everyone and their dog are making AI assistants for tasks that need accurate data without addressing how easy it is for them to present you bad data with total confidence.

I’m using Ubuntu 22.04 with a Bluetooth dongle that should be Bluetooth 4.0 but the only controller that will connect is my dualshock 3 . Ubuntu does not seem to detect my dualshock 4 or dualsense controllers through usb or Bluetooth. Every where I check online says it should just work out of the box . Any trouble shooting...
Looking at the products website the dongle you are using only has driver support for Windows 10. Unfortunately, you need to make sure to get a dongle that supports Linux as far as I know. As for USB connection, that I’m not sure. Controllers have always worked out of the box for me on Ubuntu wired. Are you sure the usb cable your connection is capable of data passthrough? Some usb cables are power only.
The best simple black business socks that don’t show the first gaps and then holes after a few weeks are…? Help me out here, please. I’m still desperate. Everything I buy is rubbish.
Do you cave and use both hands? Do you take the chance and try to use them one-handed when more actively using them? Or do you ultimately submit and get an accessory to kinda help, at least with keeping a hold of them?...
I use it one-handed. My pinky supports the bottom of the phone, rest of the fingers support the back, I navigate with my thumb. If I need to type for an extended period of time I use both thumbs to type more quickly. I use the Galaxy Note 10+ which I think is well into being considered a large phone
