Wow, crazy
/quietly withdrawing presidential bid
You're thinking of a steering wheel down the pants
Yup and that is the same issue with elections. Candidate A wants to ban private jets and burn tyres, candidate B wants to legalise child labour. A wins then claims they have a mandate to burn tyres
and among advertising, programming, and security professionals that fraction is more like two-thirds to three-quarters
Leopards, face etc
the pairing restriction would "undermine the security, safety, and privacy of Oregonians by forcing device manufacturers to allow the use of parts of unknown origin in consumer devices."
If only there were options that would encourage the use of safe, genuine parts.
Good call. Being crashed into with a 16km/s closing speed probably would be a hindrance.
I wonder if this kind of thing might make conversions into older cars more viable. If the body and the million computers etc will cost heaps to fix in a newish EV, that might mean an increased supply of electric drivetrains at the wreckers. They're not exactly a drop-in proposition but having the parts available has to be a good start.
It might be a jumper on the board. Mine (Q770G4) boots on power, if I can organise some downtime with the family I'll take a look at it (set it up ages ago so can't remember).
Edit: CAB approval was easier than I expected! Mine is in the BIOS, under Chipset > PCH-IO Configuration, set State After G3 to Power On.
You could replace the names in this with Telstra and NBN and you'd get Aussies having flashbacks
Aah thank you, no idea how I missed that. Much better now!
Hi there, I recall on Boost for Reddit that I could open a post, and collapse comment threads to a single line, which was excellent - it made it really easy to scroll past comments I've already read or decided I'm not interested in, and I might be wrong but I think there was an option to auto-collapse everything but new comments? On Lemmy, replies are collapsed but the comment I tapped on remains open, regardless of whether it's the top of a comment thread or one mid-conversation. So best I can collapse to is a post and all of its top-level comments.
The other one is that on Reddit I was able to create a group and add subs to it. That group would appear in my sidebar, and when opened it'd be a feed of those subs without needing to join each one (which makes 'Subscribed' really busy). On Lemmy I can add favourites to the sidebar, but they show up in the list individually - I'd like for example to have a single entry in that list called Home Tech, when I tap it I get a feed of only home automation or homelab stuff. Then another one just for memes. Etc
If these settings already exist and I've just missed them please let me know, otherwise I'd really appreciate if they could be added to BfL.
Thanks for the fantastic app and ongoing support!
Be careful driving anywhere near this guy, he clearly has no idea how to pull out
You're spot on, however the pervasiveness of this kind of data collection and analysis seems to have really picked up in recent years.
In my workplace a similar tool was put in place to keep an eye out for potential fraud, sensitive data being shared, that kind of thing, but at least one exec very quickly started asking questions about "enhancing" it, laughingly suggesting it could help identify flight risks in areas they're looking to cut headcount in, so they could "remove barriers to their exit" rather than having to pay severance. (To quote the great philosopher Nelly, "I'm just kidding like Jason... unless you're gonna do it")
Don't forget too that this is just monitoring chats, there are plenty of other sources of data that could be used against you if so desired.
IMHO the issue isn't so much that people are using work-controlled platforms to say things that workplace doesn't like (though that is an issue), it's more the shift in the employer mindset that tools like this enable, and the huge imbalance it can create when it comes to salary negotiations, constructive dismissal, mass layoffs, union busting, etc.
It's well-known that these algorithms push topics to drive engagement, and naturally things that make people angry or frightened or disgusted etc enough are more likely to be engaged with regardless of what that topic is.
That's simultaneously hilarious and terrifying.
"It's a well-established and indisputable fact that the earth is indeed flat. Anyone who tells you otherwise is part of the conspiracy and/or a sheep. Forward this onto 10 people in the next 30 minutes or you will get autism. Bill Gates is the CEO of the internet and will track and donate $1 every time it is forwarded."
That's what would be called "a swing and a miss"
It's almost like speculating has risks
Needs a massive safety net with "family money/influence" under the successful gambler

Agreed, and I guess if you want to raise awareness of the harms of something it makes sense to engage with the people doing that thing.
