Cobra sucks. “hey you have no income now because you were laid off, want to pay $850/month to continue your health insurance?”

When I play online games I just mute everyone. Gaming is my relaxing time and I don’t feel like listening to people throwing around insults or being obnoxious. There is very little team strategy discussion in most games anyway.

Not sure if the trade offs are worth it. It means making up a database of all people. Maybe it could work if your friends and family agree to be in your local database, but not worth it if everyone needs to be in a massive database.

It’s weird to me that the tobacco companies hadn’t managed to bribe the GOP into legalization of marijuana a couple decades ago or more as smoking cigarettes became a taboo.

It’s funny that Apple was added later given that it is the most valuable company by market cap … it’s seen the highest stock growth of any company on earth.

Won’t these workers think of Wall Street!

Agreed and they have an average tenure of like 1.2 years, but their stock vesting schedule gives you 5% in year one, then 15%, 40%, and 40%. So you’re pretty likely to never get whatever carrot they dangle in front of you.

I really do wonder if Amazon will run out of people willing to work for them someday. Their approach assumes there is an infinite supply of workers to burn through. Given everything I’ve witnessed from the company, I’d never work there. Do they at some point poison the labor pool against them?

It’s helpful when you want to try to figure out an error or even just write a few lines of boiler plate code quickly without needing to look through library documentation.

Why does ml crew defend modern day Russia? Modern day Russia is not a communist country. I’m confused why any communist would defend the USSR in general, especially after Stalin took power. Makes no damn sense to me.

Also a drop safety to prevent the gun from going off if you drop it.
That said it doesn’t have a safety that most people would think is meant by the word, which is a switch that prevents the trigger from being pulled (that is not built into the trigger itself)
And yes, that second paragraph is BS.

It's my first time building a computer. I also haven't really done much PC gaming in the past 15 years, except on my Steam Deck. Actually, it is the Steam Deck that has convinced me to invest in a desktop PC with some more power. I like the Linux experience on Steam Deck and would like to stick with that if possible. I haven't used Windows in 15 years either, as I tend to use Mac OS and a bit of Linux for personal and work. Windows seems to just get worse and worse and I'd like to avoid it if possible. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zr2ZVW In any case, I went with an AMD CPU because I've heard about Intel's recent corrosion issues. And, chose an NVidia GPU since I'd like to take advantage of ray tracing. I've heard the driver support can be a bit mixed on Linux, but I'm open to trying to make it work unless folks think it really is terrible. Any feedback is helpful.
Anyone recently watch the docuseries American Conspiracy about The Octopus Murders on Netflix? Any theories on who killed Danny Casolaro or any interesting information on some of his connections? I had never heard of the case before but, my god it’s like a rabbit hole that pulls you in.
I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public. Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote. It's been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?
There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals. Found a pair of Leatherman Raptor shears ($99 USD) for $12 Also found a Benchmade Follow Up Fixed Blade ($120 USD) for $16 Bought a drone for $15. It’s not high quality, but it’s a drone, for $15. Fun to mess around and learn with. Anyone else find some deals? Or, got another suggestion besides Temu?

Always handy to have a nail clipper, comb, and pen in your back pocket taking up as little space as few credit cards.
Other kinds of posts in the feed are sensitive to actions to scroll, but videos are not scroll sensitive, so you can end up having difficulty getting past them.
I see lots of communities with hundreds of subscribers, but no posts. What is with that? If you’re going to register a community, at least help it get going. Post some content regularly, until it becomes self-sustaining. It’s disappointing to open a community with hundreds of subscribers and not a single post.
I already get rate-limited like crazy on lemmy and there are only like 60,000 users on my instance. Is each instance really just one server or are there multiple containers running across several hosts? I’m concerned that federation will mean an inconsistent user experience. Some instances many be beefy, others will be under resourced… so the average person might think Lemmy overall is slow or error-prone. Reddit has millions of users. How the hell is this going to scale? Does anyone have any information about Lemmy’s DB and architecture? I found this post about Reddit’s DB from 2012. Not sure if Lemmy has a similar approach to ensure speed and reliability as the user base and traffic grows. https://kevin.burke.dev/kevin/reddits-database-has-two-tables/
