- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 2 days ago:
Yeah, it’s a lot easier to just make it a habit and doing it everywhere instead of overthinking the context.
- Comment on Your next phone could have a 10km Bluetooth connection 3 days ago:
Trackers like the Apple Tag would definitely work better with this.
- Comment on Study: California's $20 fast-food minimum wage improves pay at small cost to consumers 4 days ago:
It’s almost like the arguments against raising it were made in bad faith by industry groups.
- Comment on 2 Instances are being used for coordinated vote manipulation, and should be defederated. chinese.lol lemmy.doesnotexist.club 1 week ago:
That user is pretty annoying tho, I’m pretty sure I’ve downvoted them organically a ton of times. Setting up your own instance to do it automatically is next level tho, and definitely should be blocked.
- Comment on It’s heroic, hardy and less than a millimetre long: meet the 2025 invertebrate of the year | Patrick Barkham 1 week ago:
Congrats, Patrick!
- Comment on Sen. Mullin suggests 'fake news' would decline if violence could 'still' settle disputes 1 week ago:
I’m always happy to see politicians joining the Free Luigi movement.
- Comment on DOGE Is Planning a Hackathon at the IRS. It Wants Easier Access to Taxpayer Data 1 week ago:
Yeah, and you build an MVP in a hackathon, not something that needs to be relied on by a whole country. I hate these people.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
And it really feels like none of those Republicans have a sense of smell. This lady probably reeks of cigarette smoke, and Trump reportedly literally smells like shit.
- Comment on California ballot measure named after Luigi Mangione would make it illegal to ‘delay, deny’ healthcare coverage: ‘Crazy’ 2 weeks ago:
who said the sick stunt was necessary to get publicity for his proposal.
He means sick as in awesome, right?
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 2 weeks ago:
Nah, it’s just lint and other crap getting into the port. You can clean the USB-C ones easier than the micro-USB ones, but eventually they all go.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, the USB port on all my phones was the first time to go, and then you’re just stuck doing the stupid little dance of getting the cable to go in at the exact right angle to get it to charge. With wireless (especially with MagSafe), you just put it on the charger and you never need to worry about cables. I’ve got a plug on my USB port to keep dirt out now.
- Comment on E-bike rider killed in collision with police car 2 weeks ago:
Yes.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 3 weeks ago:
Credit for that goes to Kshama Sawant, she had to fight the Democrats on the city council and shame them to get there.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 3 weeks ago:
It was AIPAC money as well. That’s also why Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman and Katie Porter aren’t in Congress any more.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 3 weeks ago:
Or the boss calling a cost of living adjustment a ‘raise’. No, motherfucker, I’m just back to where I started.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 3 weeks ago:
And I’ve never heard of a contract that explicitly ties non-union workers’ pay to the union contact, but I’d be cheering the union guys on if they ever asked for a raise if that was the case.
- Comment on Do you think the US will actually log its national parks? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, he thinks of everything in terms of real estate value. Like the way he talked about Gaza, as if the people of Gaza are incapable of building stuff themselves if they hadn’t been under a blockade for almost a century.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Might be just someone wanting to highlight an architecture issue that allows someone to spam everyone.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
It is showing that there’s a lot of work to be done to deal with the spam issue. It’s basically relying on every individual instance admin to moderate their stuff and defederate from other instances that drop the ball. If Lemmy gets big enough for spammers to really try to attack it, the admins will quickly get overwhelmed.
- Comment on Crossbow killer Kyle Clifford was 'fuelled' by Andrew Tate videos before rape and murders, court told 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, looks like they forgot a word.
- Comment on Burgertory owner Hash Tayeh charged over pro-Palestine rally chants 5 weeks ago:
Just complaining in the media, IIRC. Nothing super violent and obviously not anything that would justify the shit that’s been done to him lately.
- Comment on Burgertory owner Hash Tayeh charged over pro-Palestine rally chants 5 weeks ago:
While it’s ridiculous to go after him for that specific chant/opinion, he was one of those anti lockdown scumbags too.
- Comment on ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos 5 weeks ago:
Because that strategy worked out amazingly in the past.
- Comment on The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever 1 month ago:
Reddit had a subreddit dedicated to bots just posting to each other as well.
- Comment on Mozilla says its new Firefox terms don’t give it ownership of your data 1 month ago:
I am able to sync my stuff from Floorp to Mull and back without much trouble.
We really need better names for stuff
- Comment on Jon Stewart lacerates hand on air, for the second time. 1 month ago:
Something Musk cut again. I’m amazed how despite doing stuff like that Republicans keep getting elected. Seems like an easy attack ad to cut.
- Comment on GP visits to become free for most under $8.5b Labor [campaign] Medicare promise 1 month ago:
Yeah, it’s about time they started funding healthcare more, it’s been allowed to get way too underfunded.
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 1 month ago:
People generally don’t know or care which level of government is responsible for what, and for most issues it’s a mix anyway: state governments can’t run a deficit the same way a Federal government can, so they could pitch in one way or another, especially if they’re almost all run by the same party until recently.
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 1 month ago:
It would help if Labor didn’t fuck over one of the biggest unions in the country. They’re dragging their feet on giving other union members (nurses, transport workers, etc) the raises they deserve too. Like, these people worked in impossible circumstances during the pandemic, and now the politicians are acting like they completely forgot about that.
Obviously things would be worse with the liberals, but come on. They’re just too focused on getting a balanced budgets because they don’t want a bad headline in the Australian (which they’ll get anyway regardless).
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 1 month ago:
They were designed to be only used for the administration of social security. Since they were sending monthly checks, they needed a way to know that the person going to the office and saying their address changed was who they said they were. This was at a time before driver’s licences were common and they didn’t have any other type of ID, and there were just a lot fewer people.
Later on the SSN started to be used by banks and other entities even though it was never meant for that, and the risks associated with the relatively insecure design just compounded, because instead of just fraudulently claiming someone else’s social security checks (which, unless the target died, would probably be figured out within a month), it opened up all sorts of extra avenues for fraud.
