I feel like the firefighters who refused to help with the fire or go to the heart attack victim's house should be criminally prosecuted at the least and should definitely lose their jobs.

From what I can see, these are search providers and vanilla Firefox ships with all of these as well, I think. You will find these under search settings rather then add-ons. I don't think there's anything nefarious about including search options used by a lot of people, especially when they include ddg side by side.

Why don't you reach out to the Garuda team before jumping to conclusions and maybe work with them to remove problematic search engines and add more privacy aware ones?

Yeah. I'm surprised by how hostile ordinary users have been at this point. Beehaw defedrated after the mods were swamped and most of the content they had to deal with was from these two instances.

I have accounts on both and I was just reading a discussion on beehaw where both the owners of lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works had chimed in and everyone was talking about how to get federated back in the future after beehaw have had a chance to get more moderators and the influx of users stabilizes at the end of the month.

My only gripe is that all of my negative interactions at this point have been with people from lemmy.ml so why do they remain while the other two were defederated? But that might be just my experience.

It isn't harmless. I'm not saying you shouldn't use it. In all likelihood, it's less harmful than tobacco or alcohol, but we shouldn't pretend it's completely harmless.

I wish people would take a more subtle approach. Have a pinned post saying that mods have moved the community to the lemmy one with the link, and have a bot reply to new posts saying the community has shifted and how to post there with a few linked resources. I've seen this strategy used successfully in many subreddits to get people to discord or some other platform.

I think your comment clearly illustrates what might go wrong with it. If they need this data for sorting or something else absolutely, then I would be happy if they just hashed the usernames/instances or used some other form of UID.

Let's also start removing phrases with white, yellow and brown as those are used to refer to people's skin colour as well.

The only reason I would even contemplate not using blacklist or white washing is if an actual person of that skin colour says that it is not okay for them, or there's an actual consensus among people of that community that it isn't acceptable.

I can tell you as a person with brown skin, with brownie or whatever used as a derogatory name, almost everyone I know isn't even concerned with terms like brown out or brown note.

Online outrages or articles aren't an accurate depiction of reality.

Even more dangerously, shit like this drives outrage and diverts attention from actual, real issues faced by people of different races. Like not having stuff to eat or indoor plumbing or mental health infrastructure or access to health care.

If you do that they might catch a lot of dust. The floor is usually where all the dust in a room accumulates.

Samsung has great hardware but my OG galaxy S2 was peak Samsung for me. I still love their build quality but I don't like curved screens, lack of sd slots and 3.5mm jack and so on. Neither do I want all the Samsung social etc. apps.

If Samsung made a clean phone like the pixel with their build quality, that would be a game changer.

I found this to be invaluable when I was borking stuff all the time.

Really? To me, it's unfair to characterize mildlyinfuriating as an agitation community that spreads negativity. I enjoy browsing there because it's a place to bond over shared frustration and humor.

I was just thinking how the developer of kbin made a post regarding a similar bug in kbin and some people made fun of him for missing something so obvious, and here we are 🤨

Why not go even further? Just switch off the pesky temperature limits in the bios.

I mean Google becoming crappy is not something you can easily avoid. I have a medical procedure happening soon and I literally couldn't find any non-corporate listicle on Google or bing. I ended up having to use mojeek to read stuff written by actual people.

So what happened? I don't understand what's going on. Was someone using a toddler to rob people? Or was this person hit by a car or something?

Well Stuart Semple is someone who has generally been quite reliable in what he does and a fairly prominent artist, so he presumably understands how the Adobe tools work. He probably doesn't have the technical know-how on how to build it. The article mentions that it's a team of sixteen people right now without the funding presumably.

I mean the worst case is they pick an existing project like gimp, krita, darktable or inkscape and brings in enough features to Adobe parity. That isn't a bad outcome at all.

Think of it as speaking a foreign language. If you went to Spain, you would need to communicate in a way that people there understand wouldn't you? Think of communicating with neurotypical people as being in a different country. Their language is has the same words but convey meaning differently based on tone and a bunch of other stuff.

In case of the dogs, the neurotypical communication carries information regarding how much fault you assign to that person and yourself, whose stakes are higher, what is the expected action, what are the possible consequences of not doing that and so on entirely in non-verbal format, something that we have trouble with.

The could you and thank you part is essentially communicating that you're acknowledging (and in a way probing) that they didn't probably commit the act out of malice or neglect and giving them room to communicate, while also indicating that they would be helping you by not letting it happen.

Now I am not great at emulating light tone or the correct expressions so I usually just say all of this explicitly in my normal tone. That seems to work mostly.

It's insane to me as a non-American that a) one of the most critical jobs employ lots of people without paying them and b) that person has no responsibility to actually do that critical job.

What if surgeons decided they don't want to operate on someone because they just don't feel like it or like the person? Society is usually built on trust the in an emergency you can count on others.

Honestly it feels really scrummy that people who do firefighting might not be paid.

He pled guilty to lying on a form about his addiction while purchasing a firearm and not paying taxes for two years while he was an addict (through he paid the back taxes after that eventually I think).

I honestly appreciate the fact that everyone was transparent about this and chose to be upfront and take responsibility rather than do all the shit that republicans do when accused of something.
