I remember one vacation to Orlando where we went to Disney and then Lego land. At Disney they’ll put walls around construction and then add these inspirational posters like “excuse our dust while we reimagine your dreams” or whatever. At Lego land they had the same plywood walls but then these plaques with some ISO-compliant safety icons and a message like “construction area: trespassing may cause death”.

I genuinely have to ask because I no longer am able to differentiate sarcasm on the internet, but were you being snarky or did you actually want to know if a grown-ass adult managed to figure out using a website all by themselves?
Plot twist: mystrothedefender is actually the cat in her avatar and was actually just trying to insult dogs.
Was just talking with a coworker about how with the rise of server-side rendering we’re finally technologically back to Web 1.0

Technology@beehaw.org•Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industryEnglish
19·7 months agoPerhaps the government should collect money from the AI companies — they could call it something simple, like “taxes” — and distribute the money to anyone who had ever written something that made its way to the internet (since we can reasonably assume that everything posted online has now been sucked in to the slop machines)

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that habeas corpus has its roots in the Magna carta, from the 13th century.English
4·7 months agoBut that’s what I’m saying - From a practical perspective we’ve learned that it is essentially impossible to prosecute – let alone convict – a sitting president. They have de facto immunity, even if it’s not technically de jure.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When talking to yourself, do you use the pronoun 'I' or 'you'?English

710·7 months agoDidn’t the Supreme Court last year basically decide that the President can do anything without restriction if it’s to execute his duties? Until someone does something about that I don’t understand the purpose of articles like this other than to be rage bait.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does an Influx of Former Reddit Users create a Shift in Athmosphere?English
12·7 months agoI’d be willing to bet that there’s a direct relationship between not just the size of an online community and its overall “civility” level, but also its age. I’ve seen threads in chat rooms of 8 normally good-natured folks get Godwin’d just because they continued on for long enough that one topic turned heated. With Lemmy we’re seeing a natural increase in both.
I joined about 3 years ago and there was much, much less content and conversation, which definitely made me try to be more polite as possible to the few who posted (if only because it’d be the same folks over and over again and I didn’t want to discourage them from participating). Now that’s less of a concern, so while I still try to be mindful of my posts and comments, it’s to much less of a degree than before.
Why? You ask? Racism (and really just in-group mentality) is at least a part of it:
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

Technology@lemmy.world•Any recommendations for the best expense reimbursement software for remote teams?English
21·7 months agoMy team uses Expensify, and I have to say, I don’t hate it. The website is full featured, the mobile app is actually pretty good, and you can even just email receipts to an email address and it will parse them out properly the vast majority of the time. Management-wise it has all of the approval chains, grouping, etc that you might expect. The company I work for is only about 50 people and my team is only 10 so I couldn’t say how well it scales, but I imagine unless you have some particularly unique requirements it’d do the job.
Word. Also it’s not even remotely true, as history, anthropology and archaeology have all shown us.
Believe it or not that initial wave of consolidation brought prices down. A license of SGI Power Animator cost over $30k in the 90s. softImage was not far behind. 3ds Max basically took the fight out of them, at which point Autodesk started going on a buying spree.









Yes you do.
