If anything, rising fuel prices would make RTO mandates even more effective at generating stealth layoffs.

In future, it’s better to link to articles directly instead of to a news aggregator like MSN.

Most of GameStop’s inventory has shifted to being gaming accessories, trading cards, and merch anyhow, so game sales are less important to them than they used to be.

Reposting Reddit content in bulk to Lemmy (versus individual users reposting their own guides or informational posts) does nothing to organically build communities here, instead leaving a bunch of empty posts that make their communities look dead. It’s a chicken and egg problem, of course, but simply copying Reddit content wholesale isn’t the answer.

Edit: Just want to clarify that I’m not doing any downvotes here, and see the logic in that having the best of the best Reddit content here could help convince some people to look at otherwise dead communities. The problem is that relying on such content encourages Lemmy users to be consumers of content rather than producers in their own right, and therefore think that maximizing opportunities for Lemmy users to contribute in their own right is for the best.

Arctic has a ‘Manage Uploads’ feature for all content uploaded using the app, but unfortunately the app hasn’t been updated in a year and a half. There’s lots of Arctic features I wish other apps would adopt, since in some ways they have yet to surpass it.

Blorp supports draft posts; not sure if any others do though.

The overlay could be removed with an ad blocker, or they could switch to Desktop View, or they could switch to Old Reddit.

Even better, they could switch to the Threadiverse and not need to deal with a company progressively tightening the belt on user freedom for profit maximization.

And at the very least, they shouldn’t be paying the fascists running it $2,000 a year to be there.

The majority of the proposed cost cuts would be in eBay’s sales and marketing operation, where Cohen said he planned to lower spending by $1.2bn.

Cost-cutting just for the sake of cost-cutting doesn’t lead to long-term profitability.

The judge in that case called Linehan’s social media posts directed at her “deeply unpleasant, insulting and even unnecessary” but said they weren’t “oppressive or unacceptable”.

Perhaps the judge would find it more oppressive if she were the one being misgendered on a regular basis.

Laptops can be rated for whichever power level the manufacturer prefers; USB-C PD is used between the power supply and device to negotiate the maximum power level allowed for by both, so a consumer that purchases a 100W or 240W cable and power supply could still use them with a lower-rated device.

A 60W USB-C laptop can therefore stay at 60W without issue, but if a 240W laptop is produced, it should also be made to use USB-C under such a regulation.

The current military buildup isn’t a response to China or inherently supportive of U.S. foreign policy goals, it’s a reaction to Russian aggression. The current U.S. administration is glad to let fascism spread, and thus is doing nothing to stop Russia, but that just means Europe needs to continue supporting the defense of Ukraine, demonstrating the independence of its own foreign policy in the process.

This isn’t the Cold War, and foreign relations don’t have to be purely about siding with either the U.S. or China; the EU can and should stand on its own as a superpower in its own right. The U.S. is being weaponized for fascism under Trump, but that doesn’t solve the problem of China being an undemocratic nation conducting ethnic cleansing against its non-Han citizens and actively interfering in the sovereignty of Taiwan. A push towards green energy serves to boost China’s soft power, but it doesn’t fix those problems, nor account for the massive amounts of fossil fuels still being consumed to power the Chinese economy (including 25% of global coal consumption).

The limit should really be 240W, because that’s what the USB-C PD 3.1 spec goes up to.

Edit: Per reply, the regulation is designed with 240W accounted for, and updatable in case of further improvements to the standard.

LLMs aren’t artists capable of originality, and thus shouldn’t be eligible to win awards for their output.

The claims about aggressive tactics are inaccurate

took off his pants and shirt, handcuffed him, and drove him 65 kilometers to the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he was fingerprinted, photographed, and jailed

In comparison, they’ve demonstrated that they’re willing to murder innocent civilians to suppress dissent, but in any normal society, even this is aggressive tactics.

House Bill 2103 would close a loophole in the state that could let white nationalist groups establish communities under the guise of a private club or member-only organization by blocking such groups from restricting membership by race, color, and national origin to deny equal access to housing, employment, and public accommodations. The bill also expands anti-discrimination protections for employment, housing, and public accommodations to a person’s sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression.

Race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression; how anyone could justify housing discrimination on the basis of who other people are is asinine, and no legislator should be standing in the way of it.

It passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives because the Democrats are in the majority there, but the Republicans have a 27-23 state senate majority, so it won’t go to the Democratic governor’s desk for signing unless Republicans vote in favor of it.

That’s what the bill is about

Just as no one should be denied housing on the basis of race, no one should be denied housing on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression either. Conservatives are trying to enforce their worldview on society while raising their children to be just as bigoted as they are by depriving them from diverse learning opportunities.

Pennsylvania has a Republican problem that will likely allow such discrimination to continue, but the bill itself is essential; hopefully it gets submitted again once the Republicans lose their Pennsylvania Senate majority.
