I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...
I need to go into the office to be productive. I don’t begrudge anyone that wants to work from home, I wish it worked for me, but it doesn’t. During the pandemic I was 100% work-from-home and got very little done. I actually asked my boss how long it would be until we could go back to the office. Donkey-brains chose that time to upgrade the office furniture and shampoo the carpets. It was another month until the office was open. I went back, and it was heaven. There were very few people there. I could sit at my desk, listen to my music, and do whatever I needed. Don’t ask me what the difference was. Maybe I just have an affinity for flickering fluorescent tubes.

It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target=“_blank” to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.
I have a greasemonkey script that does this on instances that support the “old” theme. I’m having trouble getting it to work on the default theme because target=“_blank” seems to work intermittently. Or I could be doing something wrong, I haven’t looked into it too deeply.

Views on this have changed in recent years, according to Pew Research Center surveys. In 2019, 57% said people overlooking racial discrimination was the bigger problem, while 42% pointed to people seeing it where it really didn’t exist. That gap has narrowed from 15 to 8 percentage points.

The question isn’t: who decides who can read a book? The question is: Who the FUCK does Senator John Kennedy think he is, to decide whether or not ANYONE can read ANY book? I don’t care if the book is Gender Queer, or The Bible, or goddamn Everyone Poops.
The argument isn’t about books, and it’s not about children. These assholes think they can stop the world from spinning if they keep people from reading about the Earth’s rotation. It’s fucking mind-boggling.
I’m trying to finish grabbing a show, but Sonarr says the final season is #3, while the rest of the internet (i.e. torrent sites) says that season is #5. It looks like the first 2 seasons were split up into 1/2 seasons when originally shown. So while Sonarr is looking for Season 3, it’s finding the first half of what it...
It’s Disenchantment. I just grabbed Season 5 manually and I’m going to put them in there as Season 3. It’s over anyway so I can just delete the show from Sonarr.
So they’re going to continue burning coal until some unspecified point in the future when a new hydrogen-burning plant is built “next door”? Do I understand that right?
If they’re burning hydrogen, where does the carbon to make graphite come from? I don’t get the plan here.

I see a lot of hysteria over this. Compared to the current/old system, this is a change in the right direction. The old system relied on advertisers’ 3rd party cookies, and the advertiser themselves would track you from website to website. This new system creates a “topic” based on the website you’re looking at, and adds it to a list of “topics” based on websites you’ve previously visited. The advertisers no longer have any way to directly track you, because they’re only given a “topic” that shows something about a website you’ve previously visited (not your browser history, just a topic), which they use to supply an ad that may be relevant. Cookies aren’t used in this process, which is good.
But, as with all things, I expect Google will continuously increase the number of topics available to advertisers until the initial coarseness of topics is gone. This wouldn’t necessarily make it easier to track someone, but it could be used to target individuals. For example, if the current topic is “health”, that’s not a problem. But if, in the future, Google refines the topics to include illegal items like “psychedelics”, or even “abortion”, that could be used to target individuals for investigation by oppressive governments.
I reserve the right to change my mind on this new system at any point. For example, I don’t know how the topics are stored in the browser, or how easy they are to access by bad actors. But the removal of cookies from the process is good, and my mind won’t change about that.
Nearly a century ago, nine Black teens were wrongfully accused of raping two young White women — then arrested, tried and sentenced all in the span of two weeks. Now, former president Donald Trump’s legal team has raised eyebrows by citing that case while arguing for more time to prepare a defense in his 2020...
Usually, the appellant has to show they’ve been “harmed” in some specific way, and not “possibly harmed” at some unknown point in the future. But that seems to have changed recently when Christians aren’t allowed to discriminate against people they don’t like.
To be honest, this is a tricky one. The more charges against a defendant, the more time it will take to create a defense.
