MeaanBeaan@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Inside the new regime: Source says Team Trump is growing "disillusioned"17·6 days agoPeople are still trying to push this nonsense that democratic candidates need to appeal to the objectively dumbest people in this country in order to be a viable candidate. Its ridiculous. Red voters are only ever going to vote red. They always have and they always will. Left leaning people in this country outnumber right leaning people by a wide margin (because reality has a left leaning bias). The issue is that dem individuals often just don’t vote when a candidate is put forward who is cowtowing to the right. The right still votes right and the left doesn’t vote. Then we get what we have now. If dems put forward a politician that progressive voters actually want they’ll have a much better chance. And AOC is probably a more well liked dem politician right now (among the left) than anyone else except maybe Bernie. But he’s probably too old at this point. So AOC makes the most sense right now to me and probably anyone else with a brain.
It’s not a pipeline. 2018 and 2025 guys either had 2014 guy killed or they ruined his life and forced him into suicide.

Assuming thats the case I don’t really see a problem here. I’ve never been able to download any applications at all on any work computer I’ve ever used short of apps the company itself uses.
Seems completely understandable to me to bar employees from using a competing service especially if there are genuine security concerns.
I used to work as a teller at a bank and at one point some higher up sent out an email to the branches talking about how great Chick Fil A’s customer service was and asking branch reps to brainstorm ways we could incorporate chick fil a’s policies into our own to improve the customer experience. I sent a long email explaining why I believed their customer service was insincere, overrated, and culty and why I believed it would be a bad idea to do anything to emulate their experience since people who come to banks don’t want to feel like theyre in a fast food restaurant.
A month later I had a raise and a new position in the customer service team. Sometimes speaking your mind can benefit you.
Though, quick disclaimer: I’m a cisgendered tall white dude. My experience is likely not indicative of someone else’s.
MeaanBeaan@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•It's not illegal to be ineffectiveEnglish12·14 days agoThe Peter principal is the idea that anyone good at their job will keep getting promoted until they are no longer any good at the job they were promoted to. The idea is that anyone who has been in any position for any significant amount of time must be terrible at it otherwise they would have gotten promoted to a different position already.
Personally I think it definitely applies to some people but I don’t believe it’s the universal rule people make it out to be.

It’s not like Microsoft just started being terrible. They’ve been terrible for a real long time. Way before AI was a thing. This is just a symptom of Microsoft’s awfulness not a reason for it.
MeaanBeaan@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Smithsonian begins removing exhibits, artifacts from African American History Museum61·17 days agoIf I’m understanding correctly there’s two books being removed. And the Smithsonian is saying the loan agreement with the owner of the books, Rev. Brown, expires in May. So they’re returning them to him to rotate in new exhibits per regular operating procedure. If that’s true I don’t really understand the issue here. Rev. Brown seems to be under the impression that they’re removing the items because of Trump’s order. But he, at least in this article, doesn’t even address the Smithsonian’s explanation so I don’t really know what’s going on here. But it really doesn’t seem like this is because of Trump’s policy. If it was why would they just be removing these two books and nothing else?
MeaanBeaan@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In the most delicious irony imaginable, the notorious early 2000s 'You wouldn't steal a car' anti-piracy campaign may have used an 'illegal' fontEnglish6·19 days agoYeah. I didn’t fully read the article lol. Thats on me.
MeaanBeaan@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In the most delicious irony imaginable, the notorious early 2000s 'You wouldn't steal a car' anti-piracy campaign may have used an 'illegal' fontEnglish311·19 days agoDidn’t the commercial use unlicensed music too? I feel like I remember there being a lawsuit for unpaid royalties or something.
Edit: Yup!
Edit 2: I’m an idiot who didn’t fully read what I posted.

This might help. If they could read.
Then Elon is going to tweet out some nonsense misrepresenting the report just like he did with their report they put out last September showing mishandled government spending to the tune of 2.3 trillion dollars between 2003 and 2023. (He first lied and said doge found the mishandled payments when they didn’t. And also said the full 2.3 trillion were Medicaid payments to individuals outside the US. Which was just a blatant fabrication)
MeaanBeaan@lemmy.worldto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•They're just so wonderfully full of "The ends justify the means" aren't they?English303·1 month agoSays they dislike trump more than Democrats do then proceeds to explain why they don’t dislike trump more than Democrats do.
That checks out.
MeaanBeaan@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Leaked Memo Reveals Insane Ban on Words Agriculture Department Can Say81·1 month agoThis is only “baffling” if you’re a total fucking moron who hasn’t been paying attention.
If people these days don’t know what rollercoaster tycoon is I’m going to start feeling way more old than I already do.
Until I can run special K or RTX HDR to inject HDR into games that don’t support it I’m not going to switch to Linux on my main gaming PC. Its hooked up to my Nice OLED TV in my living room and games look too damn good with HDR to give that up for Linux. Yes I know HDR works on Linux now. But it only works with games that support HDR and the only “Auto HDR” solution I’ve found is a janky reshade plugin that only works with dx11 games and doesn’t really produce very good results. I’m really holding out hope that valve figures out a nice auto HDR solution they can build into gamescope.
How long until trump posts this on Truth?
