Gosh, it's almost as though most people aren't hateful bigots. Hateful bigots should take note, but they won't. In fact, if they do it'll only be to point out how they're being persecuted. I dislike hateful bigots.
I got into a heated argument (preschool) about whether the car jumped or flew. My dumbass neighbors (my age and younger) contended that it flew. Their mother backed them up. I bet they turned out really fucked up with a parent who was willing to lie to them and distort reality rather than hit them with a dose of reality. I was super mad about it. And now look at me: I’m an atheist who believes in Leftwing politics, so I’d say that on the spectrum from reality to fucked, I turned out pretty ok. Hate to think how they must see the world today.
These blips in my feed continue to entertain in a disinterested sort of way. I fear I’m gradually growing to enjoy them a bit more per thread. Perhaps I should pull back. Or maybe I’ll just rubberneck.
She flirted with him, according to his supporters. She was twelve, so I don’t see how he was expected to resist her charms. /s, obviously, but only about the second part — dude assaulted a child.
That’s why I went backwards from SE back to IT. I enjoy working with people directly and helping them. It’s also a hell of a lot easier in terms of hours and crunches (we have no crunches).
Basically, I had to decide whether I wanted the money and “glamour” of working on a well-known hot project or to be generally happy with my life. I’m a lot happier now.
If you wanna buy a car made by a company that just paid a $55billion bonus to one of the biggest asshats in the world, this is your chance.
Maybe my ratings will go up if we all inject bleach.
“See? We proved that democracy doesn’t work!”
Rush bragged about how Bush senior carried his bags when he stayed at the White House. He had tremendous political power whether he could command troops (like the PotUS / congress) or not.
Tell me again about brainwashing with a straight face.
It’s not complicated.
Love that kissy face.
Same. How many teens currently vape? Wait, did they not know these substances are harmful?
I’ll believe it when it happens. And if it does, I won’t expect it to stand if the admin flips in November.
Disgusting behavior by GOP is no longer surprising and that, in and of itself, is deeply troubling.
I liked it better when I thought they were welcome the sub/dom community, but I’m also for collective action and worker’s rights. Both are good. Just one felt a bit more fun.
Organize, people. It works.
I don’t wanna gag. I wanna straight up choke. Give it to me hard.
I feel like I’m half-vicariously learning about this person from reading occasional threads like this one. It’s oddly interesting and dull at the same time.
I had a similar experience when paying out of pocket when a former employer offered really shitty healthcare. Turned an outrageous price into something minuscule just by them entering in some info on my behalf.
What a dumbass take. Women are paid less than men. It's unfair and wrong. Compensation should be blind.
My considering that women might not fight as hard overall for higher starting pay is not apologetics. It's something I'd never considered and someone else fleshed it out in a reasonable fashion that social norms might make this more likely due to (accurately) perceived unwillingness to tolerate pushback.
You only see normalization because you want to pit us against each other. I can make an observation without advocating for more of the same. It sucks that you'd try to level that at me.
There are either a lot of Cybertruck flippers out there, or people aren't happy with their electric pickup trucks
People apparently don’t like their stupid trucks.
I didn't know about this and thought it interesting. Figured some others might as well.

> But up until now, you haven’t been able to sign into iCloud using macOS on a VM. This made the feature less useful for developers or users hoping to test iCloud features in macOS, or whose apps rely on some kind of syncing with iCloud, or people who just wanted easy access to their iCloud data from within a VM. > > This limitation is going away in macOS 15 Sequoia, according to developer documentation that Apple released yesterday. As long as your host operating system is macOS 15 or newer and your guest operating system is macOS 15 or newer, VMs will now be able to sign into and use iCloud and other Apple ID-related services just as they would when running directly on the hardware.
Well, this is good news that makes me happy. I know a number of devs will be appreciative of this, even in its limited present-form. Presumably, we just need the march of time for older OSes to be supported (starting now with 15 and going forward, I mean – as in, they might not backport, but I don't expect them to take 15 away when they ship 16).

I'm absolutely shocked that Israel would stoop so low. /s

Popular Mac app Bartender appears to have been quietly sold approximately two months ago, with neither the prior owner nor the current owner...
I've been a paying user since 2015. This makes me sad, as it's one of my most beloved utilities and this isn't a good look. I'll keep running it without updating until it stops working or I find a replacement that I like. Also:

Vice-presidential hopefuls are falling over themselves to explain why they’d undermine democracy.
I opened this post in News last night but had to put my phone down. Now I went to comment and it has been removed, so I’m reposting to Politics. Apologies if someone already did so. Haven’t had a chance to get on Lemmy until now.

Worth checking out the posters that an activist has prepared at the bottom of the article.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker recently made a commencement address bashing Pride Month, and telling women to stay in the kitchen.
Seems like someone deleted this after it got posted, so let’s call out this piece of shit. Apologies if repost.

I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I'm accidentally disparaging when I don't mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I'll start:
I'm in the Bay Area, specifically Oakland. Despite Bay Area hate from some posters, I think it's great. How about you?
The M4 is looking like a very strong generation for Apple Silicon. According to leaked Geekbench scores likely posted by...
> On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

This is an obviously good thing.
