I’m in a hardware rich business. It really helps to have the hardware in hand to physically try something before telling a customer it can be done.

I want that outfit

Certain kinds of productivity, sure. And definitely on the scale of a civilization, reducing total commuters is fantastic both from and environmental and time-stuck-in-traffic perspectives.

A hundred times worse, eh. Le sigh. The US is definitely not doing well right now. But it still mostly has functioning institutions and largely has women’s rights…

Still leave the question hanging haha

I went through their site. It is entirely unclear from their short form license, faq, etc.

I always presume that, if something is free to the user, you are the product. Exceptions for open source projects, which pixabay doesn’t appear to be.

That would please some, I’m sure.

How does pixabay make money?

Correlation is not causation.

The real problem with work from home is a manager’s ability to track performance. It’s generally pretty easy to track things like output. But what if the goals are not just productivity. Sometimes, for the long term health of an organization, you need to have water cooler conversations, and other horizontal knowledge transfer opportunities that arise organically due to proximity. Friday beers often lead to longer term net positives.

Wait. A stock photo?

I see what you’re saying here. But also, the regime is really bad.

A nihilistic outlook can be a response to, or defense mechanism caused by depression. But it’s also a philosophy that is, ironically, well studied and developed. Not that that matters.

Hypothetically: Lemmy instances where every user has to have physically met an admin and proved that they’re real or something. And they’ll only federate to other instances following the same rules.

It’ll almost be like the early 90s dialup BBS small communities, with FIDOnet ;)

Uncle, how do I upvote twice? ;)

The end of the anonymous web is nigh. We may not like it, but it’s probably the only way. We used to joke in the 90s about requiring an internet driver’s license before allowing people on Usenet. It might actually be happening.

Justifying. Basically you already have a behaviour in mind, but you need an excuse to execute on that behaviour.

It can also be retroactive. You can create an excuse for your behaviour after you’ve already done something – retroactive justification.

Okay, first off, I’m really impressed that Lemmy (the web interface anyway) embeds TIL.vids video player and it just works. Since it’s peertube, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. (I wonder how hard it is to create a peertube instance, hmmm.)

Next: as a former KDE dev, I love these sorts of updates. Put it on the background while I was working this morning :)

Most interesting: hiding things from screencasting… if Plasma were ever deployed in an educational context, this will hurt the anti-cheating software that screencasts your screen during test taking. Well, they probably make you use windows in that situation anyway ;)

Weirdest: mouse pointer stays in centre mode… bizarre. Would be fun to couple with an eye tracking camera to create a fucked up feedback loop haha.

There are mechanisms. See 25th Amendment. But it’s not useful: 2/3 of both houses must agree with the incompetency ruling of cabinet, which consists VP plus 50% + 1 of the cabinet. Since his cabinet is stacked by his lackeys, the only way this could occur is if Vance is performing a coup. Still need 2/3 of each house, which is harder to get than impeachment!
