A prison guard says she was forced to stay at her post during labor pains. Texas is fighting compensation for her stillbirth. (www.texastribune.org)

The seven-months-pregnant officer reported contraction-like pains at work, but said she wasn’t allowed to leave for hours. The anti-abortion state is fighting her lawsuit, in part by saying her fetus didn’t clearly have rights.

Also, most places don’t want to hire someone who’s 7 months pregnant. They’ll conveniently find another applicant was the more “suitable” hire.

As usual, people are the weakest link in security.

Just imagine getting a degree in crabification

Any reason you couldn’t just post to the magazine from a kbin account and leave it on the lemmy instance? I don’t think there’s currently a way to transfer between the two platforms.

Pokémon Sleep: Japanese walkthrough site lists “sleeping pills” as a tool for real competitive sleepers, but quickly backtracks (automaton-media.com)

A Japanese video game walkthrough listing sleeping pills as one of their recommended methods to get high scores in Pokémon Sleep has gone viral on Japanese Twitter recently. The mention of sleeping aid has since been deleted from the site.

I’d be interested in using it if the data could just be pulled from Apple Health. I don’t sleep with my phone and I’m not buying a $55 toy that does what my watch already accomplishes.

I prefer Wayland (.social) though

Context: Twitter is currently rebranding it self as X.com, which is the bottom logo. X.org is a FOSS implementation of the The X Window System which is being slowly replaced by the newer Wayland display server. Because of the Twitter rebrand Someone decided to make Wayland.social, to parody the X.org to Wayland transition.

Give spez a few weeks and he’ll have followed with a reddit rebrand.

Billionaire investor Bill Gross recently weighed in on falling consumer savings levels, warning that Americans could run out of their pandemic savings later this year, paving the way for a recession.

This may be one of my favorite “out of touch billionaire” comments I’ve ever seen.

UTM is awesome. It’s essentially just qemu on Intel Macs, but it can utilize Apple’s hypervisor for Linux VMs on their ARM machines.

This may be a hot take, but I don’t think every app needs a visionOS-specific version. I think mainstream video apps are just fine as 2D panels running the iPad apps, rather than AR or VR experiences designed from the ground up to perform the same purpose. The only real benefit I can think of is something like Amazon’s x-ray, but that’s a gimmick at best.

I have plenty of problems with Ubuntu and Canonical, but I can’t think of anything they’ve done that would make me doubt Ubuntu’s privacy enough to switch distros over. Of course, I daily drive Arch so there may have been something recent I’m just not aware of.

Maybe my dock will finally ship too. Absolutely love the Pocket though.

Credit to Apple, they have an absolutely top notch marketing department that knows what to say to get people to understand whatever they’re pushing. Works in their favor nearly every time.

Keeping in mind that you will only have the shortcut on the Home Screen, while the App Library still has whatever garbage Reddit decided.

Probably seeing a lot today since the Laptop 16 has been a pretty hyped product and preorders opened today. It’ll die out soon enough.

See, that paragraph alone is too much for the majority of non-Linux users.

Given a direct URL to a `thing` in the fediverse, is there a way to plug that URL into kbin and open it through my kbin lens?

Suppose I was sent a link to this video explaining the fediverse. Is there a way to open that in kbin's pwa so I'm logged in and can interact with it? If not, what would be the right URL format to view it "via kbin"?

I think a kbin app that has an “Open in kbin” option or a browser extension that adds the function into a desktop browser would be the easiest way to handle that, but I’m not sure anything exists yet.

All of those Sysinternals projects are absolute must haves if you want to add much more power-user functionality into Windows for easy troubleshooting.

Well if Amazon’s involved, it’ll suck once they start dipping their fingers into the production side of the game.

That’s kinda the beauty of the Steam Deck, no? It’s a pretty open platform. Someone who wants to dig into the system can go to desktop mode and use a full Linux OS. Someone who wants to use Windows for whatever reason can install and use it. Someone who wants to treat it as a console can just stick to game mode and never care what OS their console runs, much like how a Switch user doesn’t care what’s behind Horizon.

Only issue with federating is allowing Meta/Facebook to create shadow profiles for everyone posting on other ActivityPub services. Currently, the fediverse is free real estate for data collectors.
