Really? I seem to recall being shit out of luck when it couldn’t figure out my WiFi drivers and wanted me to connect via Ethernet instead.

Fraud trial juror reports getting bag of $120,000 and promise of more if she'll acquit (apnews.com)

A juror was dismissed Monday after reporting that a woman dropped a bag of $120,000 in cash at her home and offered her more money if she would vote to acquit seven people charged with stealing more than $40 million from a program meant to feed children during the pandemic....

I don’t see why she couldn’t take the money and get off the jury. It’s not like the briber is entitled to illegal money. At that point she could just make sure the money ends up where it needs to go.

Convicted felons can’t vote, but they can run for office.

This whole thing says more about the quality of candidates than the system, though. The fact that I can say “he’s demented” and you don’t know who I’m referring to shows that the political establishment has its collective head up its ass.

Yeah. Like they should be enjoying retirement at this age, not running a bloody country.

Does turmeric need to be a miraculous panacea? Isn’t it enough that it’s delicious?

Fairy vagina??

I overall liked the first two seasons of Discovery but Michael and Klingonman’s relationship took too much space. It was too much melodrama and I felt like they could’ve done something more productive.

Tilly was probably my favourite character, but there’s a bunch of interesting ones they could’ve developed further. Did Tilly’s mushroom friend ever return?

I’m also hella disappointed they killed Hugh only to bring him back, like that plot line wasn’t interesting at all. I’m dead tired of burying the gays.

It’s funny to me how they are announcing this like it’s supposed to make us thankful that they’ve vaguely sort of almost addressed an issue they’re single-handedly repsonsible for. So much for a “responsible rollout.” Joke of a company.

Honestly I don’t think most people know or even care.

I’m okay with the MAGA types drinking themselves to death. At least then most of them won’t vote.

I mean yeah, no shit. The idea that you could buy off your carbon footprint was always ridiculous. It reminds me of letters of indulgence.

Are there legit credits? Yeah probably, but who is overseeing it? What’s stopping a polluter from faking it?

dojan,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

Right. There are so many links in this chain that could cause the entire thing to break. Corruption in the verification bodies. Fake credits. Deception about actually buying credits.

We’re talking really large sums of money too. Like if I take an aeroplane I can tack on a significant sum to “offset” my fare, and I have absolutely no guarantee that that money doesn’t just end up in the CEOs pockets.

Sure, the company could say “of course we won’t just take the money and run”, and as we all know, companies never lie.

Honestly I support this. You probably deserve money more than all those billionaires that are currently profiting off them.

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

The golden gate bridge is so far away from me. I don’t know what to do to cure depression. :(

People do this even today, too. I’ve somehow started getting videos of babies and toddlers recommended to me (I’m guessing various algorithms thinks it’s time for me to graduate from dogs and cats), and yeah, it’s cute as hell, but it would’ve still been cute had you not shared it and kept it private.

Wow. Calling your own child pig in front of millions of people.

It’s honestly quite strange that this sort of black box system is allowed to exist. How are governments around the world OK with a vast majority of the internet being filtered through a private company’s lens without any sort of insight into how it works? That sounds skeevy as shit.

I love furries and their sexpositivity. This comment made my day.

I wish I could find an English source about the guy who got woken by police assaulting him in his bed because he’d sent private sexy photos of him and his boyfriend via Yahoo mail. It’s definitely one of the things that “radicalised” me.

I’ve mentioned it before, and there are Swedish sources, but it’s perhaps not suitable for a site in English.

This is definitely something that has to be thought about in terms of UI/UX design. I recently developed a Outlook calendar-esque interface, and we’ve had on-and-off discussions for a couple of hours about how we best implement a way to “click” an empty spot in the calendar to create an event there.

I’m championing “we don’t on mobile, but use double-click on desktop.” I think I’m winning.

Aye! Flodhäst in Swedish, and カバ (河馬, 河 river, 馬 horse) in Japanese.

Aha! See, my first thought was that maybe it had something to do with pickpockets being present!

Aww, that’s so sweet! I suppose this means that the way to make adult friends is to tongue-in-cheek talk about adult toys.

I did actually make a in-person friend doing exactly that once.

dojan,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I mean it’s easier to do online since generally I move in fairly sex-positive circles. With my in-person friend it was because I misheard what she said. I thought she mentioned that she’d ordered dildos and whatnot from a particular book store and I was like “wait, they have dildos??” We’d only met like a couple hours earlier, but we’ve been good friends ever since. 😅
