Spectrum Call Center in Charlotte, NC Reportedly Provided Fried Chicken and Watermelon to Employees for Juneteenth
  • Reading the article, it seems like it may have been more of a case of poor judgement from management instead of intentional racism (maybe subconscious stereotyping, though). It's a really stupid mistake. For any holiday, all you have to do is ask the team for input BEFORE making decisions and you can avoid most of this nonsense.

  • I'm surprised more brands aren't simply defaulting to Threads. You still see links to their Xitter profile instead of Threads.

    I prefer Mastodon, myself, but I get why major brands would prefer a centralized network.

  • That still makes it sound like there’s real honey in it. Should be “Honey Flavored Sauce” IMO

  • It’s a decently fair complaint. Other food products have to use language to somewhat clearly differentiate between real and “flavored like” products.

  • Thank you.

    That Gizmodo article is HORRIBLY written up and there never actually mention the quote outside of the blurb beneath the headline so the lack of context had me questioning them. Pretty shitty reporting.

  • A Confederate statue in North Carolina praises 'faithful slaves.' Some citizens want it gone

  • Where to find Marketplace support?
  • Thank you. I had to click through a few pages but it got me to an actual contact form.

  • Where to find Marketplace support?

    Long story short, my son plays Minecraft on the iPad and used some gold coins to purchase an add-on (“TNT!”) from the marketplace. Unlike other addons that work fine, this one gives a “Download Failed” error message every time he tries to install it. I can not, for the life of me, figure out where a support option is for Mojang to help resolve the issue or refund the coins. Does anyone here have any suggestions?

    "I lost trust": Why the OpenAI team in charge of safeguarding humanity imploded
  • I mean is this stuff even really AI? It has no awareness of what it’s saying. It’s simply calculating the most probable next word in a typical sentence and spewing it out. I’m not sure this is the tech that will decide humanity is unnecessary.

    It’s just rebranded machine learning, IMO.

    Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve?

    Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t seem to have that screw.

    Anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

    [MacOS] Anti-virus recommendations?

    Looking for some insight into what everyone is using for antivirus. I have AVG a whirl but I experienced some weird stuttering on my M2 MacBook Air, so obviously I want something that is minimally impactful on performance while still being accurate.

    Thank you and a suggestion

    First of all, just wanted to say thank you. I’ve come over from a different app that I paid for and then it has been, mostly, abandoned. I appreciate the feature set and thought put into Arctic and have donated a bit through the BuyMeACoffee link.

    One suggestion/wish: Can you please change the “< Subscriptions” button to something like a hamburger menu icon instead? Here’s my thought process: The current button points backwards which, generally, acts as a navigation to the previous screen one was on. However, in this case, starting on the chosen default tab, there’s nothing really to go back to, yet. Turning this into a menu button gives a better indication of its function and looks more aesthetically pleasing (IMO)

    Either way, thanks for the great app and I look forward to your work in the future

    Freestar Collective and all security forces fire on sight with no existing bounty

    I don’t have any bounties according to the kiosks, yet Freestar Collective and Akila Security fire on me on sight. I have no idea why. Has anyone else run in to this? I’m not sure what to do other than constantly flee.

    Edit: Used wrong version of “sight”

    Edit: it’s all security forces except the UC.

    Find My Frustrations

    Thought I lost my AirPods (3rd Gen) at work yesterday. Find My kept saying they were last seen there two days ago and when I turned on “Notify when found” it would send me notifications within a minute that they were at my work address. Searched all over waiving my phone around and couldn’t find them.

    They were at home. 10 miles away. I was holding them in my hand, fully charged, and Find My was still telling me they were at work.

    [Bug] specific post loops forever in feed and in post view

    https://lemmy.world/post/7304479

    That post causes an endless scroll repeating the same text over and over again. This doesn’t happen in a few other clients I’ve tested it with. Same behavior in feed view or post view.

    Development update?

    Don’t want to be THAT guy, but I paid for the premium version so I feel like that earns a bit of a pass.

    Is Bean still being developed? I understand Steve had a case of Covid that took a while to get over, but he’s been almost nonexistent on Lemmy, in general, and there’s been little communication. Sure, I jumped and took the chance with my money on a newly developed app, but I was hoping the development would be further encouraged by the starting subscribers.

    There hasn’t been an answer on my thread asking about 0.19 support which means, possibly, the app won’t even function in the near future.

    Hoping to hear from the dev that things are picking back up again.

    Will Bean be ready for Lemmy 0.19 changes?

    Looks like some significant changes coming to the login authentication. Will Bean be ready to support once 0.19 is released?
