That would make building a $2500 iPhone in the US even more difficult.

Because of the child laborers making 85 cents an hour?

Name a job where interrupting a CEO’s presentation in public wouldn’t be a terminable offense. What employee handbook says “If you’ve exhausted all other internal channels and are unhappy with the company’s direction, just call out the boss in front of thousands of people and there won’t be consequences.”

If your company is that evil and unsettling to change, you call them out and resign. Calling them out but still wanting to be paid is saying you’re okay with taking blood money as long as you’re saying it’s bad.

I mean it’s not like he went on Truth Social shortly before he announced the pause and told people it was a good time to buy stocks or anything… right?

While I wholeheartedly agree with her message, the reality is that any employee that interrupts a company event to criticize the company until they are escorted out of the room is gonna be fired regardless of the accuracy of their statements. We should be appalled at Microsoft’s complicity in Gaza, not that they fired an employee.

I applaud her for her stand, but she and everyone knew this would result in her termination.

He was sent there, admittedly, by mistake due to an administrative fuckup.

We should be telling the Salvadorian government to have him on a plane within the hour, or we will ensure he has a flight back to the US on a military transport by the end of the day whether they choose to release him or not.

States have idiotic rules that schools must be open X days a year to receive funding. So schools do everything they can to stay open during disasters so they don’t have to add days at the end of the school year.

It’s always about funding.

He defunded the WHO.

The Republican majority in the House isn’t that big. They only need a few to flip, and the reactions to this round of tarrifs are cataclysmic so far.

American tanks :(

The 22nd amendment was written poorly, and prohibits someone from being elected into the office.

Terrifying fact: the Speaker of the House is third in line, and doesn’t actually have to be a member of Congress. If the VP and President both leave office without a new VP being appointed, the Speaker of the House assumes the Presidency, bypassing both the 12th and 22nd amendments.

It works well, and I’m a huge fan and contributor to Open Street Maps (which it’s bassed on). But it doesn’t do traffic, which is unfortunately wha I need from my navigation apps 99% of the time.

If they had a paid option to cover the costs of using TomTom’s traffic API, I’d make the switch.

You seem to be doing some American math in that first line.

No, we’ve just really gotten good at finding other wrong options.

Yeah, and try as we might, we haven’t been able to replicate its biggest selling point. It was unfortunately also its greatest vulnerability regarding the corporatetake over.

It was a central location from which thousands of large, niche communities could be found.

Lemmy is great, but the decentralized nature of it also fragments small communities and makes it hard for them to launch. I was super active of the Scuba subreddit, but on Lemmy, there are like 8 scuba communities spread across the instances, but they’re all so small there’s no activity on them, and that fragmentation makes it difficult for one to reach the necessary critical mass to become active.

Former fireman salesman here:

Don’t just go buy a gun on a whim. Gun ownership is a responsibility with potentially deadly consequences if not taken seriously, and there are moral, legal, ethical, and practical considerations involved.

If anyone has questions about firearms, firearm safety, etc, feel free to reach out. I don’t support violent demonstrations or lawlessness, but anyone wanting to know about the tools for legal self-defense, hunting, and shooting sports is welcome to ask me questions.

Palantir is pretty spot-on. It spies on everyone, is a tool of evil, and once used you never know who’s watching and influencing you.

They took 3 weeks to attach my new plotter to the network because they didn’t know how to figure out how to trace a fucking Cat 5 cable.

We have 12 employees in the city. My home office has a more complicated network closet.

Oh, I’ve tried the shared mailbox thing. I had it at my last city and it worked fine, but our third-party IT service contractor here is the shittiest I’ve ever heard of.

It includes the latest release, but it’s the same one included on last year’s flu vaccine.

I think the devs may be quietly winding down support over the next few years.
