Clusterfuck is happening!
In my country all the influencers are announcing the same things using the same template. I wonder if it's a subsidized or monetized shill.

What kind of weak anon compiles his kernel without supporting the clearly required and already integrated hardware?
It's fine and dandy if you remove coax or something, but video output? Really?

What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?
They let the intern access the production db. The company is one of the biggest hosting and internet service companies in the country. The db was SQL but had no primary key.
I was the intern. I normalized it to 3NF as part of my internship project.

The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
We did it Reddit!
But wait, really? It does not sound like a real victory here. Lots of quality mods retired, people left for Lemmy, and F--K SPEZ written all over the r/place?
Is that victory?

What's the stupidest rule your school ever enforced?
My school strictly prohibits vehicle use, and considers all violations a strong offense that is on a three-strikes out rule.
Yes, it includes e-scooters and swan boats.
Yes, it includes whether you are in uniform or not.
Yes, it includes whether you are in school or not.
Yes, even if you are licensed.
Yes, it is enforceable anywhere.
The rule is obnoxiously blanket.

I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button
As a person from a country that has near zero knowledge, awareness, and enthusiasm for American Football, I agree.

My GF says I look hot when I do chores. Is this just a ploy to make me do more chores or is it an actual thing?
Yes

It is illegal but so far nobody wants to raise an issue with it because it's a school that has a lot of govt officials, diplomats, expats, and businessmen sending their kids there. No one wants to risk stinking their own reputation by raising an issue.
As for "how", apparently if someone accidentally snaps a picture of those kids riding things they shouldn't be, anytime, and a school disciplinary officer sees it, anywhere, he can give out the warning. Has done so a few times actually.
The rationale of the rule is that vehicle operation is something not befitting the image of a student, especially a student at this (supposedly) prestigious school.
Suffice to say the damn rule made me apprehensive of riding in a friend's car for a while, and of the idea of getting my own license when I became of age.
When I decided to ask the school about the apprppriateness and legality of the rule (as an alumnus), they said "we are disappointed in you. You were a great student. We did not expect you to become someone who tries to force us to change our ways of life." That said, unless you grow up to become a nationalist or a right-winger, you are a disappointment to them, so maybe even without this vehicle use thing I'm still a disppointment to them anyway.
This story sounds absurd but yes it is supposed to be this absurd.
I still pass by this school many times as it's on my way to work. I wish I could tell those kids and new parents who might not be aware of "the system" something they should know ...

There's also a guy who says that Lemmy was created by a communist.
Well, this time "at least it's not spez" works even if it's a fallacy.

World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women's events
Reply in thread
Traditionally chess has been a men's game, and female adoption is limited. The creation of an exclusive women's division is to generate a pathway to success for women, even if it's known to have a lower ceiling compared to men. Basically, it is to foster the game in females.

The same happened when I was a kid.
Some bully rallied the class to peer-grade me F. The class did. The teacher honored it.
I bombarded their presentation with questions. The teacher sent me out for being hostile.

YSK: Lemmy DOES have a karma system
In Lemmy, karma is not important.
Alignment, however, is paramount.
Mine seems to be chaotic ADHD asshole. Wait, is this even a proper alignment?!
