Daily Lemmy comments up from ~7m to ~11m following the launch of Sync?
I'm gonna blame it on all the sync haters just commenting about how sync sucks and why FOSS is so much better.

Shot in 1.6 seconds: Video raises questions about how trooper avoided charges in Black man's death
I was scared when I was a 19 year old doing a patrol through Sadr City in 2003, while manning the .50 cal and having dozens of kids suddenly show up and throwing rocks at me. Did I waste them even though I would have been justified because it wasn't uncommon that patrols would go through markets and peopled start throwing produce and mix a grenade in?
No. Because I was well trained and realized that life is precious. And I was dealing with those rocks a lot longer than 1.6 seconds.

Actors’ Union Says It Receives ‘Last, Best and Final’ Offer From Studios
As a Teamster union steward, any time I hear about a last, best, final, I immediately get super skeptical. Which one is it? Last? Best? Or final?
Probably not best. Probably not last. Final? Doubtful.
Whatever the offer, triple it, then double that. SAG has these motherfuckers by the balls. Double the triple double. Fuck them all.

USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible
About a decade ago or so, I found myself in a reddit argument with someone that claimed they had never attempted to plug a USB in unsuccessfully. They said that every single time they've plugged in, it was the correct way. Some people are insane.

What's your juicy work drama that you just want to tell us about?
I was able to file a grievance against a person everyone hates. It's a slam dunk grievance, I even have evidence from their Instagram.
Everyone that I've told about it has been over the moon that someone gets to put them in their place finally.
Monday morning we have our big meeting regarding it, and I'm going to straight up fuck their ass up. I hope they quit. Seriously, they are such assholes to everyone. No one has a nice thing to say about them.

What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?
I worked for lumber liquidators, and their point of sale software seemed to be surplus navy because if you dug deep enough you could order nuclear sub parts.

California governor vetoes bill offering unemployment pay to strikers
If I strike, I get strike pay from my union day one of the strike. The government should not be paying for striking members.

It would be simpler
My wife caught my googling "why do we say baloney in stead of bologna", took a photo of it, and roasted me on Instagram. And I still don't know why.

Apple wins bid to pause Apple Watch ban at US appeals court
So one of the largest, most profitable companies of all time, stole some tech, got caught and slapped on the wrist. It's going to end up costing them 3 minutes of profit and they are balking. Maybe.
Fucking capitalism.
