  Do leap minutes really exist? I’ve never heard of that before? I don’t think we’ve ever had 60 leap seconds since the inception of the idea.

  My suggestion is to find a good instance, such as lemmy.blahaj.zone, and go through the list of blocked instances to find one which works for you. Filtering by software and version number should yield an active Lemmy instance.

  You could try Truth Social if you’re looking for places where people have a deep hate towards others who are not cis straight white men.

  I guess I should clarify that I’ve never used DoorDash or Uber Eats, but for restaurants who have their own delivery people, it’s almost always via someone on an electric bike where I live, so rain or snow is not fun for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doordash deserves it's fate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well that sounds like unemployment insurance with more steps. rather than people buying stuff they don’t need so that it can be delivered to keep someone in a job, and paying the apps the fees, remove the middleman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doordash deserves it's fate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out hiring a cab for your pizza is expensive, who would have thought. Personally when ordering out, I always choose pickup, and fortunately can bike to most places to pick it up. If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.

  The alternative isn’t an open platform, but maybe prioritizing 10 minute city in urban environments where you don’t need a car to get/deliver everything you need

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A full list of 2025 Oscar nominations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just finished watching Emilia Pérez, and saw it won best picture at the Golden Globes, but have no idea why? Anora, Challengers, and The Substance are objectively better movies yet Emilia Pérez won? It’s great to see there’s finally a trans actress to receive an Oscar nomination, but the performance wasn’t amazing, and I’d say Demi Moore or Mikey Madison had much better material to work with and really showed their talent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a step in the right direction but still isn’t perfect because they’ll have huge ranges of salaries which are all made up and that is not in their budget. These make it into your filters but tell you nothing because of how unrealistic it is. Like $55k - $180k. When you get to the salary, they offer $60k and tell you that you’d need to be a god to get higher.

  Master Skywalker. There are too many of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey! No spoil- wait a second...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there was a lot of doubt/denial between ESB and ROTJ if Vader was telling the truth to Luke. That’s why they needed Obi Wan to clarify it to Luke with the “certain point of view” line in Jedi. This was probably a comic from during this period to promote the movie and they used it as a selling point to validate Vader’s statements in Empire.

  If they really blocked lemmy.blahaj.zone, they’re not going to see your comment, but everyone else will, so we can make fun of them without them knowing it.

  Wow I’ve seen some really weird backwards compatibility issues, but this takes the cake. I would have imagined that in the move to XLSX they could have addressed this and sorted it out when saving, but nope, I guess having all days off by one and maintaining a support page explaining Lotus123 backwards compatibility for forever is earlier?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yet they know what dishware I'm looking for...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not saying it would have been different today, but at the time cellphones were so new, and not a lot of people had them, a jury just had to trust what they were told. The way it was presented in the podcast seemed as though it was a very new concept for all, and that they weren’t really told how wide of a net the cell phone data pulled in. It was all trusted at face value, resulting in the conviction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yet they know what dishware I'm looking for...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, if you’re going to do something really illegal, you shouldn’t bring your phone with you anyway, or at least put it on airplane mode. Even without Google Maps, the cell towers will triangulate your approximate location and time, and it’s basically the first thing police pull if there’s a crime in an area.

  You’ll also probably need to make sure you conceal your face as you walk by a million ring doorbell cameras, because those will rat you out and disprove your alibi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yet they know what dishware I'm looking for...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why there are so many Twitch streamers. They get nothing out of it except for a perfect alibi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who benefits from the "14 Min Read" estimates popping everywhere?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I distinctly remember getting about 1% into this article about the heist of the McDonald’s Monopoly Game money, but not knowing how long it would be. I ended up getting to the 5th paragraph and read JEROME PAUL JACOBSON always dreamed of becoming a police officer. He was born in 1943 which is when I realized this was a long story and I couldn’t read the entire thing while on the toilet at work.
