But.. it's the states that run elections, not the federal government. This doesn't make any sense.

It sounds like they want you to do it during working hours or else they wouldn't offer those times. It's a service offered by your job so it could be interpreted as a work-related function and therefore you should get paid for utilizing it.

I think you're giving companies too much credit. Freakonomics did a series called "Does Advertising Actually Work?" and the tl;dr was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Someone must be trying out pomodoro time blocking.

My Glucusent book light, I use it every night when I read before bed. It is the best book light I've ever had and I absolutely love it.

I wish Telegram would just enable default E2EE. Oh well, time to switch to Signal!

Control+C is used to kill a process in the terminal and that shouldn't be overwritten. If it is, you'd have to create a totally separate key binding to kill a process. Seems unnecessarily complex when Control+Shift+C works just fine.

Cover letters are one of the few things I've found AI is decent at producing. I give it my resume, the job description, and tell it to write of a cover letter based on those. The employer will most likely skim it or not read it at all, so it doesn't need to be super detailed. Of course, make sure to double-check it for hallucinations.

With the way federation works, all of the lemme.ee posts are synced to all other federated Lemmy servers and I just can't see all of them going away. I think Lemmy will be just fine.
