JoBo, to technology in Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent

That’s a fantastically efficient way to destroy their business. There’s no way to get honest reviews of employers from employees who know their identities will be exposed whether they consent or not. Doesn’t even matter if the review is after leaving that job, future employers can go nosing too.

Absolute techbro-brane gold.

JoBo, to asklemmy in Why is it frowned upon here to 'steal' content from reddit?

Most content that gets posted on social media is ‘stolen’ from another social media site. That’s not really an issue.

But there are bots posting up threads from subs like AITA (complete with links to Reddit) where there’s no point engaging with a non-existent OP, so the threads do not get any engagement. And they often get posted in massive batches so it fucks up your feed too.

Lemmy needs to develop its own culture and that is made harder by people trying to make it a mirror of Reddit.

JoBo, to news in Gun supervisor for 'Rust' movie to be sentenced for fatal shooting by Alec Baldwin on set

She was crap at her job but she was also too inexperienced for it and employed to do it by cost-cutting producers who took so many shortcuts on set safety, half the crew walked out before this happened.

More powerful heads need to roll.

JoBo, (edited ) to technology in How do i stop this kind of pop up from ever appearing again? Win10

Got this via Mastodon which will not let me search for the source.

If you’re in the US, when you set up Windows for the first time, select English (Europe) or English (World), not English (US). That will stop it installing all the bloatware that USians are not protected from but everyone else is.

JoBo, to asklemmy in why are incels frowned/hated upon?

The word was coined by a woman and the support network she set up was for men and women. Until the space got taken over by bitter men blaming women for all their troubles and, here we are.

The woman who founded the ‘incel’ movement

JoBo, to nostupidquestions in If Venezuelan money is so worthless, why is it expensive to buy Venezuelan bank notes online?

Because they’re being sold into the foreigners’ gag-gift market where demand, and thus price, is higher.

JoBo, to technology in New York Times takedown domino effect hits nearly 2000 Wordle clones

Wordle is a ripoff of Lingo, first broadcast in 1987.

They can take themselves down.

JoBo, to news in Human knocks down woman in hit-and-run. Then driverless Cruise car parks on top of her, Victim in critical condition

Should the Cruise car have not started moving if there was a person still on the crosswalk? This whole sad affair raises many questions.

There are some questions but “should cars start moving while a person is still on the crosswalk?” is surely not one of them.

JoBo, to europe in Your next excuse is on platform 5 – German train travel has become an experience worthy of Kafka

One theory goes that the decline began in the mid-90s, when the government started its efforts to make Deutsche Bahn fit for sale.

Yep, that’ll do it.

JoBo, to news in Female surgeons sexually assaulted while operating

Seems like every situation where there is a power differential.

JoBo, to news in Saying prosecutors should focus on Antifa, judge frees white supremacist in beating

Hope that the antifa prisoners get a successful appeal against their excessive sentences out of this.

And that the fash judge is forced to retire immediately, with a review into all their sentencing decisions.

JoBo, to asklemmy in Would you live in a rural area?

Grew up in the middle of nowhere. No bus. No shop. No pub. It was hell. Left home for the city at the first opportunity and will never go back. I don’t want to be dependent on a car ever again.

JoBo, to politics in Well. That didn't take long.

News sites need to start using screenshots of tweets. That article is mostly empty space with some @s in it for me.

Archive link for those with the same issue.

JoBo, to science_memes in How is the hydrogen made?

That is true of all colours of hydrogen other than green (and possibly natural stores of ‘fossil’ hydrogen if they can be extracted without leakage).

Green hydrogen is better thought of as a battery than a fuel. It’s a good way to store the excess from renewables and may be the only way to solve problems like air travel.

How hydrogen is transforming these tiny Scottish islands

That’s not to say it’s perfect. Hydrogen in the atmosphere slows down the decomposition of methane so leaks must be kept well below 5% or the climate benefits are lost. We don’t have a good way to measure leaks. It’s also quite inefficient because a lot of energy is needed to compress it for portable uses.

And, of course, the biggest problem is that Big Carbon will never stop pushing for dirtier hydrogens to be included in the mix, if green hydrogen paves the way.

JoBo, to world in Amanda Knox faces a new slander trial in Italy that could remove the last legal stain against her

Just to pre-empt the usual misunderstanding when these badly reported stories get posted: this is the equivalent of an appeal, initiated by Knox. Not the Italian courts persecuting her.
