Sorry to be a downer, but this is a really good point.
  • They do, which is why they push back against being called weird.

    Also, its about ridicule of the leaders not the followers. The followers then abandon them rather than double down as they dont want to be weird by association.

    'It just exploded': Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians
  • Yeah, that appears pretty racially motivated. Still, the article dances around it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was clickbait. I assume that is her post?

    The story about neighbours daughters friend just reads as plausible deniabikity to post horrid stuff. She had to type all this out purposefully. Its not a retweet ir share or a sentence. Its a narrative shes creating.

  • Snag on 2 pieces of bread? That's a sandwich. What happens to folding it as a wrap because apparently rolls weren't a thing when BBQ fundraisers started out.

    Still, good value. All $5 around here. I was on the BBQ today doing the onions. Didn't even have one myself. Should have but my kids showed up with my husband to collect me and they all ate while in was still behind the grill.

  • Expressing concern for a missing animal in a local post is not the same as spreading false rumours with racism. I'd want to see her post before judging. I also respect her talking to the media about regret and misuse of it.

  • Right, and ridicule is an effective way to shut down fascists. Its why calling them weird is so effective.

    In saying that, mocking them does give fuel to the fire. Its a necessary evil.

    A European consumer watchdog wants you to be able to buy exactly as much in-game currency as you need, not fixed chunks
  • It would likely lead to a lot of issues. The games companies would need licences like a bank. They would need to keep it secure and have funds availabke to offset a run. It would likely also mean that players would be able to refund unused cash.

    If they change the value in game, it might lead to gains which are taxable or losses which are possible to offset.

    Which type of couch is JD Vance’s favourite?
  • The couch from Roseanne. Because it was a wealthy person pretending to be poor for financial gain.

    At least Roseanne Barr has some redeeming qualities and fought for equality at one point. Pity she had sme bigoted views too.

    What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?
  • But it’s ok because they did too. So no social awkwardness, but you need to let hr know they lied about damaging company property and they should start packing their desk.

    More than two-thirds of Australian homes have building issues, new report says - ABC News
  • O think I've met these site managers.

    For a work fit out we were going paperloss office, new company 7 years ago. They kept on wanting to know where the multi function cnwtre printer would be. They were designing cabinetry, electrics and Ethernet around it. When we kept insisting we would not have one, they eventually relented and only planned for it to be in the occasional office/store cupboard beside comma.

    7 years later and the cabling and power points are still there unused as expected but they couldn't get their heads around it. I mean, if we changed our minds we could have gone WiFi. It was so frustrating.

    An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off
  • Also, a grammar lesson for you too! When you dont put 'an' between quotation marks, your sentence doesn't read well either. Next debate should be which quotation marks to use, but that varies by country.

    However, your post enlightened me to my mispronunciation of Ubisoft, despite knowing they were French. I'm not sure that I'll change though. I don't thibknthe French would anglicise a word with widespread French pronunciation to appease non-French speakers, so I'm sure they are (ironically not) fine with it.

    I also agree with you, that in English, most people pronounce it as Yubi, so "a" would have been appropriate and 'an" reads poorly.

    True love
  • My first date with my husband, we went for dinner. I'm not going to want a broccoli themed ring. This is just odd. If she was a big iron man fan, perhaps it would work but just seeing a movie once isn't that. This speaks not just to bad choices but a lack of maturity and understanding each other. Probably good she said no.

    More than two-thirds of Australian homes have building issues, new report says - ABC News
  • Anyone who's lived pretty much anywhere by Australia can tell you our housing standards are pretty crap. Unfortunately cheaping out on energy efficiencies costs us all more in the long run. Its not like cutting costs saved anyone money, either. Out house pricing is very high, even worse given the poor quality.

    In future when we land on other planets we will need a different calendar, Do you think we need a secular calendar or the current Gregorian one?
  • We already use time zones on earth which alter depending on our relationship with the earth tilt and rotation. I imagine well dontge same. Well use earth time as a reference and adjust our 'time zone' to life away from earth.

    Obviously, if another time system makes sense in another place, wed adapt to that specific place, but I think it would still be referenced to earth time.

    Should we meet others with different measuring systems, maybe wed have to adapt ours and theirs to be mutually comprehensible but similarly, I don't think we would change of still using a circadian rhythm for life.

  • Yes, but many of the journalists are normal peopke on the left and write. If they are constantly being stifled, they should still be reporting on that or quitting. There is meant to be done integrity in the profession.

    Its been gone for many years. Now its just content farms.

  • Using containers for different accounts

    I’m trying to set containers for some websites on a shared windows terminal with multiple users under the same login. We use some cloud software and each user has their own log in. Manually opening websites in container manager allows this, but I’m struggling to do so for opening in container for the home page.

    Each log in just launches in the default container (unassigned). I’ve tried using bookmark tree, which seems to support containers, but I can’t get it to work. Assigning a site to always open in a container doesn’t seem to work either as it’s the same site for multiple users (which seems to be the purpose of multi account container), so if it always opens in container A, person B still needs to manually open in their container.

    I just recently got the 190 update pushed. It mentioned lots of fixes. One was image handling.

    I have found that now exiting an image is a bit slow or glitchy. A single gesture to go back does not exit and instead it needs two. Tapping an image instead still closes it but there is a delay that wasnt there before.

    I'm on a pixel 7pro with gesture navigation.

    My phone coverage stopped for a period. I was using connect at the time and a comment failed. I initially thought it was a big but noted after restarting, it still was out. Then I checked with a test search to find it was all internet.

    A few minutes later internet was back. Went back into Lemmy and refreshed. No data showing. I checked down-for-me for my instance and it was up. Refreshed again. No data.

    Again restarted app and it was fine then. So, it seems he connection outage did not allow refresh after it came back, despite a restart during the outage.
