Like it or not, this is the curse of modern media and, in particular, social media (including Lemmy). Boring details don’t get clicks or upvotes. Hype does. If you spend much time being exposed to one sensational headline, article or discourse after another, you’re going to have a much different view of the world than those who don’t.

If you don’t believe me, walk away from internet media and cable news networks for two weeks. I guarantee you’ll notice some change in your perspective and, possibly, an even see improvement in your overall mental health.

Nothing. It’s one of the alluring aspects of using third-parties. You pay a flat fee, people do work. You avoid all the overhead of HR, benefits, workers compensation and unemployment insurance. If you want someone gone there’s no process, you simply tell the third party that Joe doesn’t need to come back to work, ever, and you’re done.

Amazon and Google are not alone in this practice, nor is it exclusive to Fortune 500 companies.

Aka PATA or IDE hard disks. Basically consumer grade kit.

The statement that the kernel would only ever handle IDE was basically a confession that this would never be a product suitable for enterprise or professional use where SCSI was the typical interface.

Desantis didn’t have an issue raising his hand when the question was whether they would support Trump should he receive the nomination.

Senior management made the case that my unit didn’t have the appropriately documented KPIs to work from home. I made the point that we’d been operating under the existing KPIs for the last 15+ years in the office without issue so the only obvious metric missing was “butts in seats”.

While nobody clapped I’m still employed and the team does have WFH agreements in place.

Lemmy is much less US-centric than Reddit.

As much as I like my thin devices, all batteries should be user replaceable without the need for disassembly of any kind.

Not sure if it's actually XSS. Lemmy.world did have an admin account compromise so it could've been done locally.

It actually looks like it may be being propagated via comments. I received more than a handful from lemmy.world and it appears they were in the process of deleting them before they went dark. I nuked the remaining ones by hand but you can see that lemmy.blahaj.zone still has the same few remaining... https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/search?q=onload%3D&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

There's some misinformation floating around regarding Lemmy not having a karma system. While many have discovered otherwise, this is for those who may not have.

While it's not exposed in the Lemmy default user interface, Lemmy does have a fully functional karma system and it is visible in third party clients such as WefWef and Memmy.

Do with that what you will.

Who had “side with Zuckerberg” on their 2023 bingo card?

No, me neither.

Knowing they're visible on kbin made me realize that most Lemmy users probably weren't aware, as it's non-obvious.

Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)...

What you see via the UI isn't "all that exists". Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see "under the hood". Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won't normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.

This is the type of use case that justifies the $3499 price tag.
