More freedom for people that can afford to buy a car and live in an area with ample parking. But no freedom for everyone else amirite

Realistic scenario: half the workers show up in person just to log into a video conference anyway because the other half is remote.

Pok guy - Cantonese phrase meaning falling on the street (literal translation) or hope you die on the street/suddenly (as an insult)

…unless you’re a tech reviewer that receives hundreds of products a month from people that never expects to get them back.

I don’t know how to be more clear on this, this is a failure on LTT’s part, no question. There should be better processes in place to prevent this from happening. But there’s a difference between knowingly and willfully pawning off something that they knew didn’t belong to them, and incompetently assuming everything everything they sell off has been vetted with the vendor. There’s a large enough team that a miscommunication could have broken down along the chain, somewhere between vendor reps and the person setting up that auction.

Sure it’s unethical, lazy, sloppy, plus any number of adjectives. But as they say: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”

Intent as in “I know this doesn’t belong to me and I will acquire it and then exchange it for monetary value”

Your two scenarios happened yes, but any number of things could have happened before it that would remove intent to steal and exchange for money, like simply miscommunication between individuals (with their team size, it’s not too far fetched to see that happening)

Thievery implies intent. I think I’d like to give the benefit of the doubt here and say it not being returned may well have been unintentional, through carelessness or straight up hubris (“I can do whatever I want with stuff people send to me!”). Either way, it’s incredibly bad, but one is obviously worse than the other.

Ya, but it proves I lived through the 90’s 😆

Waaazzzaaaap

But you just negated your initial argument by using Apple as an example…?

I visited California a few times, and LA is not a great tourist destination imo. But other parts of California is beautiful

Gentle turbulence actually helps, believe it or not.

What are the common attributes between each app that allows them to be federated with each other? Users, a post with multimedia support (images, links, maybe videos), a comment thread, and what else? Can an app deviate completely from this user/post/comment model and still be federated? Do each app need to manually integrate with another app to be considered federated or is any app using ActivityPub automatically integrated to your app?

Except for the millions of Windows users…

I felt the same way, but it’s mostly due to lemmy’s still premature sorting algorithm. Sorting by New, Top Hour, or Top Six changed my experience drastically. There’s still issues like posts having not enough involvement through comments, and duplicate posts from similar communities, but overall it’s much better after about a month in.

It’s pretty cool obviously but until we can see peertube videos directly in our lemmy feed it’s just a fun gimmick. Copying the URL into a lemmy search box just so you can post a comment seems a bit cumbersome. Unless I’m misunderstanding this post

Yeah it’s the reason, back on Reddit, that I’m able to see posts from smaller subreddits show up near the top of my feed because it’s popular relative to the number of subscribers of that subreddit.

And that’s how you lose talent…

I don’t mind visiting the office once in awhile, say 2 or 3 times a month. But to mandate it to every day is asinine. I’m never going back to wasting 3 hours a day sitting in a train/stuck in traffic.

I might be in the minority, but shitpost memes like “I’ll draw a shitty picture every day until x happens” or “I’ll do this based on Y upvotes”, and the “here’s a random hotdog/Gatorade bottle everyday”. I know I can probably just block these kinds of posts, I just never got the appeal of it.
