I mean what I read is "We don't like to openly admit we pay peanuts and treat our employees like shit while asking them for more than humanly possible."
🔥 I have news! After a 1y hiatus, I’m once again leading this year’s #StateOfHTML survey, thanks to generous funding by Google. ❤️
🙋🏽♀️ Is there is an HTML feature or Web API you're dying to see progress on? Suggest it and it could be included!
Browsers fund these surveys to see what matters to devs — so if others care too, it can really help. E.g. these surveys are the reason we have CSS Nesting.
⌛️ The survey is launching later this month, so time is of the essence!
📢🕯️ The Public Health Emergency Operations Center at the Ministry of Public Health on Tuesday announced in a statement that an Israeli airstrike targeting a car in Al-Ayrouniyeh – Tripoli has, according to initial reports, resulted in two fatalities and three injuries
This is a hill I will die on: there was a turning point of the net, unnoticed by nearly everyone, that laid the ground work for the global political fuckery and rise of fascism we live with now.
It went unnoticed by most of the world, a totally inscrutable event. But everything changed after that moment.
I am truly asking this: what is the strange attractor that is turning them all into literal unironic Nazis?
I would have thought there were many different kinds of right-wing lunacy. You would think the message boards would have investigated every possible meme combination
And yet here we are with the richest man in the world armed with the most sophisticated technology that's been fed the sum total of human knowledge and it's just "Hitler did nothing wrong"
📢 On JUL-13 the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) will launch Handala—a civilian boat setting out to challenge Israel’s illegal, deadly blockade of #gaza
🔹 The vessel will carry life-saving humanitarian aid and a message of solidarity from people around the world refusing to stay silent as Gaza is starved, bombed, and buried under rubble
As Cambodian garment workers took breaks from toiling in sweltering factories on Tuesday, they feared for their jobs after US President Donald Trump's threat to impose a 36 percent tariff.
A new Study by the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), led by Highly Respected Chair, Dr. Stephen Miran, has found that Tariffs have had ZERO IMPACT on Inflation. In fact, the Study shows that Import Prices are actually DROPPING, just like I always said they would. The Fake News and the so-called “Experts” were wrong again. Tariffs are making our Country “BOOM.” Many new Factories, Jobs, and TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in Investments are pouring into the U.S.A. Someone should show this new Study to “Too Late” Jerome Powell, who has been whining like a baby about non-existent Inflation for months, and refusing to do the right thing. CUT INTEREST RATES JEROME — NOW IS THE TIME!
A difficult but necessary post. The full report of the Dinah Project is out, showing systematic sexual violence by Hamas used on the 7 October massacres (and on hostages afterwards). The many incidents in six different locations suggest this was intentional, not incidental - sexual violence as a weapon.
Clear patterns of sexual violence emerge from the findings, including victims found partially or fully naked with their hands tied, sometimes to trees or poles; evidence of gang rape followed by executions; and severe genital violence. Sexual abuse also continued in captivity — released hostages reported forced nudity, physical and verbal sexual harassment, sexual attacks and threats of forced marriage.
Sadly, this report was necessary. Too many people are denying sexual violence was part of these attacks, people who in other circumstances say #BelieveHer. Perhaps it complicates their simplistic 'good guys and bad guys' view of the world, clashing with the narrative of 7 October as an act of liberation.
Needless to say - except on social media - this doesn't justify the ongoing horrific death and destruction in Gaza. (And if that's what you thought I was getting at, please go away.)
@quixoticgeek Why are you rejecting good advice out of hand? You don't have much empathy if you can't understand why a subversive shitlib subhuman killing itself would be a desirable outcome. AnHero.png
Neofeud is a Dystopic Cyberpunk adventure game in the vein of Blade Runner, but with an overlay of Game of Thrones-like political intrigue, and 1366x768, hand-painted, stylized visuals.
As a lifelong consumer of PBS, it’s TRULY been my window into other worlds via its diverse programming, so much so that I became a subscriber as soon as I could financially, the attacks from the current administration are one of the CLEAREST examples of how white supremacy harms us ALL
PBS is the one place where EVERYONE, regardless of race, class, or privilege, can access and enjoy consistent, QUALITY education AND entertainment
But in an environment where an understanding that “knowledge is power” is under attack then, of course, the most accessible channel has become a target

I always imagine Kash speaking with a thick Texan accent because of Alex from The Expanse. I read the books before watching the show or even knowing who Kash was and always imagined Alex to look like him.

Las torres del viento persas tienen cientos de años y se originaron en el antiguo Egipto, aunque las más célebres son las de la ciudad de Yazd (Irán). Estas torres suelen ser rectangulares, se instalan en los tejados de los edificios y no requieren de electricidad. Funcionan utilizando el viento entrante y teniendo en cuenta su ondulación, dependiendo de la temperatura (el aire caliente es menos denso, por lo que flota por encima del frío). Cuando el aire accede por los agujeros de la torre, deposita sus impurezas en el pie de la torre y discurre por el interior, a veces a través de depósitos de agua que favorecen su enfriamiento. Gracias a la presión del edificio, el aire caliente sale a través de la torre.
El captador de viento de Dowlatabad es el más alto del mundo (33 metros) y todavía sigue funcionando. El sistema fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 2017, y pese a que funciona a la perfección, se ha ido dejando de lado en favor de sistemas de refrigeración que consumen energía.
This is not to be confused with the shooting of a cop guarding an ICE detention center in Alvarado Texas by a band of literal freedom fighters allegedly attempting to free people inside.
Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience Juries put the moral intuition of ordinary people into the heart of the criminal justice system.
We will not comply with this unjust law. Many people from celebrities, to artists, to writers, to journalists to activists are intending to break this unjust law. We will do it together. Unjust laws are no laws at all.
🤬 Què més ha de passar perquè l’Estat Espanyol deixe el negoci del genocidi amb el mal nomenat “Estat d’Israel” ⁉️
🚢 l’Estat Espanyol podria declarar un embargament integral d’armes via Reial decret , JA‼️
🚫 En canvi, continuen passant pels nostres ports vaixells amb material armamentístic destinat a cometre, cada dia, l’extermini del poble palestí.
🔥 Exigim, amb més força que mai, la fi del trànsit d'armes pels nostres ports dirigits cap al règim genocida israelià !

Blame Halo for being a huge faggot, he went thermonuclear when I said I'd install his horse gacha ironically Turns out that amidst all the daily ToS changes there's a new "DON'T POST ABOUT THE GLOBAL VERSION OF MY GACHA OR ELSE" rule
This has been a known rule for almost a week now. Not sure why everyone wants to test Halo's patience about the Umamambo or whatever this nu-My Little Pony fad is but it's incredibly gay that you don't follow his rules and then act like he's sperging out and that it's funny.
This is the second time this year an Italian on fedi broke the rules and got banned from an instance. Italians represent a significant portion of fedi rule breaking. What a troubled race.
Earworm, highly infectious, you probably shouldn't open this.

I had the great misfortune of being exposed to "baby shark" again recently, and now all it takes is, like, a shark emoji and the song is immediately locked and looped in my brain.
I would stab my own ears out, but it's too late. The sound is coming from inside my head. 😱

Experts scrambling to understand losses in hives across the country are finally identifying the culprits. And the damage to farmed bees is a sign of trouble for wild bees too
This is a combination of many, many different devastating factors all amounting to a perfect storm we call the 6th Great Extinction. How is anyone supposed to "completely" understand the interaction of pesticides AND viral diseases AND parasites AND deranged weather AND...
@violetmadder @johncarlosbaez So, as a beekeeper (we just catch swarms around the neighborhood), and we did not see these kind of losses. But we have non-commercial queens, feral... they may have evolved to better deal with all these issues.
- no, I don't expect complete understanding! I'm just commenting on the subtitle of the article we're taking about:
"scientists discover what’s driving record die-offs of US honeybees"
This subtitle does not match the content of the article. The subtitle makes it sound like there's been some new discovery that explains what's going on. I think the article just lists some of the usual well-known contributing factors to the decline of bees, no new "discovery".
Donald Trump held another one of his dear leader propaganda meetings where he praised his administration for doing a great job after hundreds died in a Texas flash flood.
4 000 ressortissants français serviraient actuellement dans les rangs de l’armée israélienne. Selon la résolution de l’ #ONU, que la #France a voté le 18 septembre #2024, Paris a l obligation de prendre des mesures contre les militaires franco-israéliens, qui interviennent dans le territoire palestinien.
I am 100% certain that the intractable and ancient questions of “What is ‘human?’” and “What is ‘intelligence?’” will finally be resolved once and for all by corporate lawyers in a contract dispute with billions of dollars at stake
I just went to get a sandwich. The ordering is (optionally) done via kiosk. This time, the kiosk started suggesting items for me based on what I'd purchased before. I was initially puzzled as to how it could recognize me prior to any identifying information being input, then realized that there was a small camera embedded in the kiosk, and that it must have done facial recognition.
Identifying customers isn't new; I understand that facial recognition has been used by grocery stores for loss prevention, to help flag people likely to steal things. But I wasn't aware that it'd reached the point of sticking all purchases into a database, regardless of the usual methods to obtain a unique identifier, like loyalty cards or obtaining a phone number.
Assuming that this becomes the norm, short of wearing a mask --- which is a pain, and runs into anti-masking laws in some areas --- I don't see how one can realistically avoid having all of one's purchasing being placed into a store's database for data-mining. That kind of bugs me --- I'd like to be able to do stuff like purchase a sandwich without having the store profile me.
Thoughts? Ways to counter it? Okay with this/not okay?
Now you know where the camera is, just hold your hand over your face long enough to put a piece of electrical tape over it.
If you're worried you'll get in trouble, just remove the tape as you leave. If you actually do get in trouble, protest that it's your right to privacy, and you've done no damage to the equipment.
Or just take a laser or mini torch to the camera, that's up to you, I won't tell..
