Glitchy void

  • You're getting massively downvoted, but you have some valid things you're saying, but also some shortsighted things, I think.

    To be able to quit a job if they wanted you to do something that would contribute to making someone else's life worth is a place of privilege, most people are living paycheck to paycheck. At least in the US. Because of that, most people, even in the tech sector, don't necessarily like their job they just like not being homeless. So they stay quiet and get the job done. I don't think it's that they don't care, I just think it's that they don't realize that if they were to unionize and defend themselves they could get a lot of change done. To make people realize that takes a good leader and/or someone to take initiative, and those types of things are conveniently left out of our education. We are taught to be good workers and to be grateful of the bosses for paying us. It can take quite some effort to make people realize that they generate the revenue of the business and they are the most valuable asset in the company: the workers. Especially down in the south of the US where I live.

    This video pretty accurately breaks down what I'm saying: https://www.tiktok.com/@moneywithkatie/video/7438453768158547242

  • Well yeah if we're applying that to atrocities and murder it wouldn't be a valid argument. But these are workers that don't have a union that are sometimes living paycheck to paycheck. They're just trying to not be homeless.

    I don't work at YouTube but speaking as a tired, underpaid dev who works for a company he hates, I am just trying to get by. I don't even have PTO right now. I do plan to form a union in my area though.

  • I used to like their breakfast burrito and breakfast crunchwrap. I haven't ordered from there in years though. It feels like their quality has gone down

  • Some Arab Americans who voted for Trump are concerned about his picks for key positions
  • I don't understand how any Arab American could think Trump would advocate for peace in the middle east.

  • Alabama voter turnout rate for presidential election 58.5%, lowest in over 30 years
  • Sorry got my numbers mixed up, he has less votes than he did in 2020 but he's one, and if you compare to 2020 there are 15 million less people who voted

  • Alabama voter turnout rate for presidential election 58.5%, lowest in over 30 years
  • Trump had 15 million less votes than then he did in the last election and he still won the popular vote, voter turnout was abysmal

    Trump has less votes than he did in 2020 and he still won the popular vote, and if you tally of all the votes there is 15 million less votes overall

  • Racist Superman
  • It's rhe historical racial connotation, it's similar to why black face is racist but whiteface isn't. White people are the majority both Japanese and black people are minorities that have been historically disenfranchised by white people.

  • Is it time to question the yearly release cycle for phones?
  • Conservation wise there is a very big reason to slow down the release cycle

  • Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?
  • Speaking as an American, I hate how our government runs, there are tons of issues with it, and I do what I can't to help fix it. Like the majority of us are not happy, but we have not collectively done these things, most of the terrible things that have happened in America are the machinations of a wealthy elite who have been able to shape voting districts and policy thanks to continually laxing regulations and unfettered capitalism.

    I was just born here, I didn't make this place. This place isn't what I want it to be. Just line any other country, we are all just people trying to live and get something out of life. With the way the education system is here most people don't even realize how ass backwards things are because "that's how it's always been" for them. It's upsetting. But it doesn't make them bad people, just naive usually. This is why things like intersectionality and critical race theory are so important and this is why the far right in this country is pushing against them. The issues in America boil down to race and class based inequality, intentional defunding of public programs, and then miseducation of the populous on these issues and how they actually affect everyone. I promise you those of us who understand all this are doing everything we can do reverse course. Personally everything happening here weighs on me heavily and I often forget to enjoy what's right in front of me because the big picture is so scary. It's stressful as fuck.

  • Which mobile app arguably has the most features?
  • Sync has ads, unless you do a one time purchase, I don't think I paid for boost but I could be wrong, either way, I have no issue supporting developers. Just because something is paid doesn't mean it's inherently bad, if they're making a living making these apps and they are dedicated to making them better and better I have no issue contributing financially. They are the best two apps. It's a one time purchase, not a subscription. You can continuously support if you like but it's not mandatory. And yes they're closed source, which isn't ideal but I understand the want to protect their code if it's their livelihood and they've put so much effort into them.

  • Honestly 10 outta 10 title

  • Which mobile app arguably has the most features?
  • Boost and sync definitely seem the smoothest and most features rich, boost has better search though

    TIL that credit card numbers are validated using Luhn's algorithm. If it doesn't work with Luhn's algorithm, it's not a valid card number.

    You can read about Luhn's algorithm here

    Sidebar still very very laggy, basically unusable

    Since the much earlier version of this app, the sidebar has been basically unusable, it almost completely freezes up anytime I do anything on it. Is there any fix for this? Is this a know issue? What's going on?

    I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how the sidebar renders my subscriptions. As soon as they load everything in the sidebar takes forever.

    This is the thing that has kept me from using this app despite basically being theost feature rich lemmy app.

    Looking for: Photo Viewer app for local and NAS files

    I'm looking for a photo viewer thay allows you to view local storage and connect network storage

    But I also want to be able to move and copy to and from network storage and local storage

    And modify (ie delete, move files, etc) the files in network storage

    I have fstop currently, but thay allows only read only access to network storage

    Anyone have any recs?

    I can set up most network file sharing standards so that's not really a limiting factor

    if comments are broken on an instance (like they are lemmy.world right now) the app will crash if you edit certain settings.

    Just about anything to do with comments that tries to fetch dara from the server will crash the app if comments aren't working

    Is it time for lemmy.world to work with other hosters to have "sister" instances?

    Lemmy.World is rapidly growing, maybe it’s time for some holsters to group together and distribute Thay load to other instances.

    Maybe custom ui logic could be made for the sign up page that auto signs you up for an instance that is an official sister instance to the main lemmy.world. it could tell the user why ( to reduce load on a single server) and have a choice for the user to opt out.

    Just a thought. I mean I made a new account because I was having trouble posting on my .world account, and I can't even login to jerboa still.

    IMO I think in order to fully utilize part what makes the fediverse great, this should be supported natively. Thoughts? I’d love to hear from the admins and community mods.
