Welcome to Lemmy, where everything is wrongthink.

Search engines haven’t worked reliably for several years now, the top results for almost any search are from social media pages that you can’t even read without an account. The Internet is broken.

Read beyond the headline. This is about Pixel MDM including more data, not about RCS actually having any significant update.

This isn’t really even about RCS, but okay.

Your activity is actually harming the fediverse by forcing us to come up with innovative ways to throttle new users.

Why do you need to throttle users who are posting relevant content?

“Ad blockers prevented your review submission.”

No, you prevented the review submission, by taking the time out of your day to write a dialogue box that prevents submissions.

I was just there earlier this month! Absolutely gorgeous spot, especially with all the foliage changing colors. I plan on going back in the spring.

The character jesus was not a real person

I think it’s generally accepted that Jesus did exist, as his baptism and crucifixion were documented by third parties at the time.

The concept is much older than the word we use today.

One of the earliest known vegans was the Arab poet al-Ma’arri, famous for his poem “I No Longer Steal From Nature”. (c. 973 – c. 1057).

Like “vegan” isn’t even a century old yet, it was made up in the 1940s by some guy who thought vegetarians weren’t good enough, and he set whatever rules he wanted to.

Maybe you forgot what community this is, chief.

My kitchen faucet does this. It’s a 2-axis lever. Y axis is the temperature adjustment, X axis is flow. As long as you leave it set to the same Y position when you turn it off and on, it’ll be at the “last used combination”.

An AI wouldn’t have made as many grammatical errors as OP.

I had a teacher in 6th grade who told us that God placed the earth the perfect distance from the Sun; a few inches closer and we’d all burn, and a few inches further and we’d all freeze. I got detention for standing on top of my desk and asking why I wasn’t on fire yet.

That kinda shattered my view of teachers being arbiters of knowledge.

Mopeds are motorbikes.

Shoot him, anyway.

The wild part about it is that this technique required a very specific prism in the camera in order to work properly, and the tech behind it was completely lost to time and nobody else knew how to make that work, which is why we’ve primarily had blue/green screens with chunky matte lines ever since. The guys at Corridor Digital managed to recreate the effect pretty authentically, and it’s awesome to see the results of their work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQuIVsNzqDk

I hope he’s doing well. Thanks to the code he started, I’m on the Fediverse in the first place.

I’m starting to think this guy might be a racist. 🤔

DEI isn’t intended to be “colorblind”, it explicitly suggests that employers give consideration to applicants from disparaged demographics, who may have otherwise been ignored during the application process. It doesn’t, however, imply hiring quotas; there is no such thing as “a DEI hire”.

Many people seem to confuse DEI for Affirmative Action, as evidenced above. This article explains the differences pretty succinctly: https://natlawreview.com/article/dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-v-affirmative-action-they-are-not-same

While Affirmative Action is often seen as a legal and policy-driven approach, DEI is more about cultural transformation and ongoing efforts to create a supportive and inclusive workplace. Both are crucial for building a fair and equitable society, but they operate on different levels and address different aspects of inequality. DEI initiatives, though can impact hiring, focus on the workplace and people in it. The intent is to embrace the collective, minimize bias and treat others in a respectful and understanding manner.
