SilentStorms,

Probably a good choice. Calckey sounds like an unmaintained spreadsheet software project. Firefish is better, if a little generic.

Wife's boss is on a power trip. Is this legal?

My wife works in a restaurant, and the power-tripping manager has instituted a new policy where all shift changes must be approved by management. I think that is reasonable enough, but they’re also asking the originally-scheduled employee why they are switching shifts, then approving or denying based on the answer....

SilentStorms,

Seriously don’t understand managers like this. Also a manager, qnd I’ll even find the coverage if someone needs a day off. I know how nerve wracking it is as an employee calling around asking someone to cover your shift, its a lot easier for me to send a mass text. Incidentally, the staff seem much more willing to pick up shifts this way.

SilentStorms,

It’s pretty much just spam. It posts so frequently that having any hope of getting organic discussion on one of the threads is drowned out.

It’s goal seems to be to make Lemmy look more active, but achieves the opposite.

SilentStorms,

Yeah, I’ve blocked @bot so I don’t accidentally do that. I could see it maybe being useful back before the massive influx we recently had, and only if it posted the top 3 or so posts of a subreddit per day.

Now it’s useless, arguably making Lemmy worse. It seems plenty active here now that I’ve subscribed to a bunch of (real) communities.

SilentStorms,

Wow this couldn’t be any more transparent. Laziest way to get easy PR after the stream of terrible decisions they’ve made. Thankfully doesn’t look like anyone’s buying it.

Looking forward to watching the cat-and-mouse game of people writing “fuck /u/spez” and the admins deleting it. Gonna be a shitshow.

Hells Angels’ control of BC ports (tnc.news)

Thousands of port workers, including scores of Hell Angels, their associates, gangsters, and other criminals across British Columbia, are set to resume strike activity after failing to ratify a tentative deal that was reached through federal mediation. https://tnc.news/2023/07/19/bonokoski-hells-angels-control-of-bc-ports/

SilentStorms,

Holy fucking sealioning OP.

Pick any large enough sample of the population and there will be some criminals in it. You can’t just use that fact to discredit any organization you don’t like.

Garbage article and garbage “news” outlet.

SilentStorms,

I honestly can’t stand the cutesy eyes. I wish there was some more diversity in the options, something more abstract in there would be nice.

Oh well, through the magic of Android I can pick a different one to use from the thread.

SilentStorms,

If they want to succeed, they need to make an app. Classic Neopets on my phone? I would play the shit out of that.

SilentStorms,

Depends what you value I guess, Apple has set so many terrible precedents for closed systems and walled-gardens.

SilentStorms,

For 300k I’ll be “excited” over whatever you tell me to be excited about

SilentStorms,

Please dump that folder somewhere. I’m oddly nostalgic for mid-00s 4chan

SilentStorms,

Oh man, anyone from Canada remember Video & Arcade Top 10? Just reminded me of it

SilentStorms,

Eh any animal products will cause suffering to animals, organic or not.

Honestly all large-scale food production does harm, its personally up to you where you want to draw the line of what you want to participate in.

SilentStorms,

Better? maybe. Good? not really.

What do you consider "good performance" of a game on the deck?

Just curious what do people have in mind, when they say a game is “working great” or “perfectly”. I believe I’m in the minority, but I just can’t enjoy a game under 45 FPS, or if the resolution has to be under 720p and the UI/text is all blurry because of it. Perhaps it’s because I’m used to playing mainly on PC....

SilentStorms,

30 fps and low graphics ia good by me. I grew up with old consoles, having something like Cyberpunk running on a handheld is insane to me.

I honestly don’t get the whole “120fps 4K or literally unplayable” mindset. Ill notice the difference in a side-by-side, but other than that as long as theres little to no lag its perfectly fine.

A clear victory for the free fediverse: Meta now says integrating with ActivityPub is "a long way out" (privacy.thenexus.today)

When Meta launched their new Twitter competitor Threads on July 5, they said that it would be compatible with the ActivityPub protocol, Mastodon, and all the other decentralized social networks in the fediverse "soon"....

SilentStorms,

🙄 “Saying slurs on a private forum is mah god-given right!”

There’s plenty to criticize about Twitter and Threads, but the unmoderated parts of the internet are cancer.

Also pretending that Elon doesn’t remove things he doesn’t like is a joke.

SilentStorms,

Can you provide some evidence for your claim of US agents on staff for censorship purposes, as well as elaborate on which speech you believe is being removed?

99% of the time I see people upset about ‘censorship’ of online spaces, they’re mad about far-right hate-speech or dangerous misinformation.

SilentStorms,

No its the otherway around. /r/anime_titties is a world news/politics subreddit. Oddly enough it had more mature discussion than most of the other news subs.

SilentStorms,

"While it may just be a Barbie map in a Barbie world, the fact that a cartoonish, crayon-scribbled map seems to go out of its way to depict the PRC’s unlawful territorial claims illustrates the pressure that Hollywood is under to please CCP censors,”

I don’t know how someone can start a statement like that and get that conclusion. After finally seeing the “map” this is looking schizo-level delusional. I don’t know how anyone can be dumb enougb to take this seriously.
