My company blames me when people fill out forms with junk data just to get to what was already a public link, then I have to go in the CRM every morning and delete a dozen "your moms" and "nunyas".

So now they're just charging people for what they were already doing anyway.

In HS photography class the teacher gave us CD-RW discs to use as flash drives to keep our pictures on and they actually lasted all semester using them every day.

A lot of malls in Asia have signs that say not to walk on the escalators. So yeah I guess if it breaks you're SOL if the people in front of you aren't rule breakers.

If the conditions are still the same that cause people to want to ask for a 4 day work week, then people will keep asking!

In HS trig class I asked the teacher what was the actual logic behind the tan function, and she said "well it's just programmed into your calculator" and I said I realized that but how did it work, she told me to go ask the AP calc teacher.

The YouTube viewing experience on FF is terrible. I have premium no ads and still manage to break the interface occasionally by clicking a new video or seeking the video playing.

This does happen though when they cc me on an email that has nothing to do with me, and expect me to dig through the whole thread to see why it's relevant.

It's like the movie Sliding Doors, except it's a pocket door to your parents guest bathroom.

How do these people watch conspiratorial content and miss the fact that pale male European colonialism literally is the conspiracy?

The part about remote work that has caused things to stagnate is that most companies still aren't setup to hire out of their own state. So it's not done much to open the gate to opportunities that are a great fit and can be done remotely, because I'm in the wrong state. And there's still an attitude of "what would somebody in that place possibly know about things here". The likelihood I will ever be domiciled in the same place as where my perfect job happens to be is super unlikely. This is 95% employers just discriminating based on location because they don't want to do paperwork or have an open mind and 5% not having the benefit of in-person collaboration.

 
 

I want to setup a wiki as a new Lemmy user guide that lists the popular instances we federate with and their popular communities so people can easily find their interests and start posting. How can I do this on Lemmy so that other people can edit?

 

My favorite lake in the Midwest is Storm Lake in Iowa, just because of how incredibly random it is surrounded by flat farmland.

 

And they won't say no because of the implication!

 

Does the Midwest server not store essentially dead communities from other servers? For example I can find and join technology@beehaw but not iasip@lemmy.ml. I am guessing because the IASIP community doesn't meet some content or engagement threshold. But, I want to post there so it will meet the threshold! It seems like this could create duplicate communities across servers if small communities can't be easily revived.
