FYI - ten states (and D.C.) require employees to pay employees for mandatory jury duty. Eighteen states prohibit employers from requiring employees to use personal leave for jury duty.

FYI, I think you mean “wary,” but this is one of those happy accidents where the wrong word also works in its own way.

“Some folks”

Who tf cares about Hunter Biden?

While it doesn’t contradict what you’re saying, apparently ”the provisions of his parole required him to surrender any electronic devices and passcodes." Wtf

I thought the original post was satire - list all of the privacy issues, then throw in “Privacy <3” at the end. Seriously, almost every one of those points has a potential privacy issue.

Guess I was being too generous.

Kyle Rittenhouse committed 37 murders!

It looks like it regularly goes on sale that cheap on Amazon, at least in my region:

I can’t tell if these crypto people (comparing the energy use of banking to Bitcoin) are dumb, or if they think everyone else is.

I guess Freud was right

Fair enough - thanks

Out of curiosity, what source do you use for gun violence data? The Gun Violence Archive puts the number of non-suicide gun deaths at almost 19,000 in 2023. I’m sure there are other groups running their own estimates though, and I’m curious how the methodology and results differ.

Does your client allow sorting by controversial/score/down votes? I haven’t seen that option, which on one hand I’m happy for (one of my self-destructive reddit habits) but is also sometimes is so satisfying.

It’s not even close. Passenger cars crash so much more frequently than planes (and other forms of transportation) that the rates of death are much higher.

The most intuitive analogy to federation to me is email. You may have an account with one provider (gmail.com in the example of email, or lemmy.world in the example of Lemmy) but you can send emails to other providers (email example) or post messages to other instances (Lemmy).

Just like with email providers, a Lemmy instance may decide not to allow communication with another instance - this is “defederation.” Instances that allow communication are “federated.”

Just like email, you don’t normally need to worry much about whether you are on the same instance as a particular community or user - it just works.

This is a simplification, but for me is a good working model.

As another user said, it sounds like this is a NHTSA term:

This is clearly nonsense. Besides the fact that 1000 mph wind is not possible, the earth and atmosphere are rotating at roughly the same speed.

Let me say it again, the earth and atmosphere are rotating at roughly the same speed. This is obvious.

The lack of basic education that some countries have on common physics concepts such as the rotation of the earth is shocking.

It’s as if they teach their school children nothing but abstract concepts for 13 years, and then send them out into the world without understanding how relative velocity works, or how electricity works, or how a computer works, or their nation’s laws and their rights as citizens and workers, or… anything, really.

For all that education, people seem to leave school completely unprepared for the real world. They are let down by the system. It’s sad to see.
