Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads
Whelp, I guess I now own my last Samsung phone. It was a good run. I've been considering going pixel for a while so I can put graphineOS on it. This just helps me make that decision.

Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in South Dakota public university employee emails
I think the "everyone anyone your pronouns" thing in email, slack, whatever is dumb. But if I lived in SD, I'd start doing it right about now.

Upvote or downvote, I cannot decide. I'm both laughing and terrified it could happen.

Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. I'm not suggesting we're don't have a really high bar, but 100% is just unreasonable.

Black Friday
Reply in thread
Retailers operate on exceptionally thin margins so that they make nothing or next to nothing outside of major consumer holidays. The day after Thanksgiving became a day when most were off work so they'd take advantage of the extra time to go get some Christmas shopping done. Retailers would go from "in the red" to "in the black" from a profit and loss perspective.
Retailers noticed and started offering sales to lure in these shoppers who were spenders.
Door buster sales as loss-leaders became a thing and soon everyone was in on the consumer holiday.

Programming communities already exist
I'm over on programming.dev (https://programming.dev/communities) -- I really like the idea of servers and thus the sub /c's being centered around topics of interest. I think there's going to be a lot of "generic" lemmy servers still, but I sort of liked how "places" sort of picked lemmy.world, for example (though that's starting to fade with lemmy.world becoming more popular).

Ron DeSantis spent $1.2m per day to open and operate ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
(as noted in the recap, but left out of the title) Florida residents spent that money. Ron just signed the checks.
People really need to wake up and realize they're making life worse for us with our own money.

The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January - Sodium-ion batteries have lower density but are cheaper and perform better in cold weather

I drove a leaf for 3 years and it had 80 to start with and ended around 67. At the end, it was a pain, but didn't notice until around 70mi range. Somehow, 75 would get me from home, to the airport, to work, and back home again with room to breathe. At 67, it was nail biting.
To the point, 150 is probably good for quite a lot of people.

Plus shit like Maven and Gradle leave nothing to the imagination.

Embrace boring software development practices. You'll get good rest on the weekends and have a long and productive career.

Programming.dev instance: Sponsors needed
If you're thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.

I've owned an electric since 2013, never run into a down charging station. Early on, I'd run into single chargers that were occupied, but that's it.
Not saying it's not possible to have a broken station, just never hit it. But I, like most people, charge at home, 95% of the time.

Well shit, I've been on vacation, and I signed up with Cursor a month ago. Not allowed at work, but for side projects at home in an effort to "see what all the fuss is about".
So far, the experience was rock solid, but I assume when I get home that I'll be unpleasantly surprised.
Has anyone here had rate limiting hit them?
