Big Tech companies are finally getting the names we thought dystopian megacorps would have
I always thought this for the financial market: Standard & Poor
Moody
The Fed (as in, the past tense of feed)

Paradox of tolerance
I've always disliked how this is described as a paradox. It only highlights a broader point found in many systems, a just system is never about "the good" outnumbering "the bad". It's about a balanced equilibrium, as are most relationships. Besides, allowing intolerance is not a tolerant act, that's not the way we define that term. To make such a claim would be as ridiculous as a racist person saying they are practicing tolerance by not challenging or question any of their bigoted thoughts and instead just letting them play out.

Fatal shooting of University of South Carolina student who tried to enter wrong home 'justifiable,' police say
Reply in thread
You are reading as though it is undisputed facts. One reason it is undisputed is because the victim is dead. For one it would be nice to see how likely it was he actually broke glass or reached inside. Was it clear video from a camera at the door? Or some grainy footage from a neighbor across the street? It doesn't say.

And I was fired for it. Depends on the market demand I suppose, some industries there is no denying your worth, in others you're disposable.

Would be nice to get everyone into the same Bitcoin community

Weird, seems like the exact same concept but for social media, yet no one is here.
Thanks for clarifying about the other comment 😂 I honestly thought they said I would lose all my money if we were all on the same community, was genuinely confused.

Should we decide to have a main fediverse community or should we keep posting everything twice?

It would be nice if they developed some way to merge communities and splice crossposts together. This is a common issue with many communities.

Unable to post to lemmy.world communities
Reply in thread
I tried replying to my own lemmy.world post (posted from my lemmy.world account) it appears to work just fine, but I did notice that my sdf account doesn't load comments on some of the posts as I was comparing. For example, someone from a different instance posted on .world and from sdf I see none of the comments on that post
Edit: just an update, I did some commenting and posts on .world and others and it appears to be working just fine, although I didn't go double checking things through my other account, but as far as I can tell it was working fine, the glitch I mentioned earlier only applied to that one post.

Canadian man reading date never knows which is day and which is month unless day is above 12
Reply in thread
Leaving aside the problem that you are choosing a date system depending on who is using the dating system and for what purpose, under that condition the most logical would be MM/DD/YYYY, which is truly terrible, so I'm going to politely ignore your argument.

Reply in thread
So the first point was that depending on your files/archives and how you access it, year or month or day may be more relevant to the user, which is why I was saying it's dependent on the user, so I don't agree that a human centric solution is always going to say the year is less relevant.
And then if we are going to prioritize organizing the numbers in such a way as to save the eyes a millisecond of time, for standard usage month would be the orienting date since you need to make sure you are looking at today's month, and then day would be the next necessary date, and then you'd still need the year there, so you'd end up with Month Day Year. Putting Day first would be just as wrong as putting year first because it is irrelevant until you establish the month, it's too granular.

SEC Delays Spot Bitcoin ETF Decision for All Applicants Including BlackRock, Fidelity
Reply in thread
As per the article, this is to be expected, so it doesn't really mean anything, "SEC staff have traditionally used every possible comment and review period to delay making final decisions until those 240 days have elapsed, making Thursday's agency filings expected."

Yeah that and the Bitcoin post. My .world account was having weird glitches, but I haven't used this one much yet, but haven't run into any issues yet with sdf. (Edit, I realize I commented in two different Bitcoin communities, the first one was .world)

Yeah pretty outrageous, I soon found out employment rights in Ontario Canada are practically useless. I had no idea, I thought I had some basic protections, it's almost nothing.

Probably easier to skim through my history. Yes I believe so, so long as it is @lemmy.world community right? Not relevant where OP is from?

Okay thanks, that makes sense. I'm not highly technical so I'm just trying to run through every potential risk. That was the last thing bugging me.

Interesting story about gold smugglers - should have bought bitcoin

The article is not about Bitcoin but it's the first thing I thought of while reading the article, smuggling gold is so 2010.

100% that's why they call it a passphrase and not a password, it would be foolish to use something that can be brute forced. Anyways, my question is specifically about the storage of the key when unencrypted, would you happen to know if it ever touches the hard drive?
