  • Google employee made redundant after reporting sexual harassment, court hears

    Jump

  • What does "laid off" mean if you interpret it literally? Have you ever even thought about it? At least you understand how the the term "redundancy" came about. But what if the words we use to convey concepts are just the words we use to convey concepts, and not an act of malice or compliance?

  • Yeah, seems like there needs to be a distro made for retrofitting various phones or something with those features. Maybe even using the zune hw.

  • MAGA demands murder charges for ICE victim's wife

    Jump

  • The rational would be, if two people are committing a crime, and one dies in the process, the other traditionally gets charged for their murder. The problem is, they were not committing a crime. Meanwhile, this ICE agent defied their own training to commit a murder.

  • Where are you getting the term "visual capitalist"? And why did you learn about this phenomenon today? Misinformation has been rampant for over a decade now.

  • With New Year's a couple days away what selfhoted party games do people have going?

    Jump

  • Some people don't have the luxury of being in the same place as the people they're celebrating with. Jackbox games is a popular remote party game, but I am curious if there exists a similar, open, self hosted alternative.

  • It's an appeal to non fediverse netizens to use the fediverse. He lists the usual pros: the services are designed to interact with each other, there's no algorithm, it feels more old internet.

    Are comics more in demand than stories?

    Jump

  • You misread what I said. For the fediverse to work, it needs to be distributed. OP said they didn't see a stories community on "this instance" (was unclear whether they meant lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, but both are notoriously monolithic). Centralizing all users and communities onto a single instance is antithetical to the fediverse.

  • I don't know why you decided that this is a superiority complex

    It is entirely possible you didn't intend for it to sound like you believe writing is superior in some way to drawing.

    I don't trust other places because there's no way to know if an AI story is created or not.

    To be clear, there's no way to know that here either. I'm not saying go to those other communities, I'm just answering the question about where everyone is.

  • This is what I imagine asklemmy posts would have looked like in the 1950s.

    There are so many levels one could answer at. First off, we don't want every community to exist on lemmy.world. Just because it doesn't exist there doesn't mean you need to make it. Second, I consider graphic novels/comics/manga to be just as out of fashion as books these days. AFAIK kids barely read at all anymore. Third, I consider drawing much harder than writing, but that's a personal thing. Heck, both are trivially generated by AI these days, so the idea of having a superiority complex about one seems silly to me. Artists should stick together. In the same medium, if they want to.

    If you don't like seeing visual art next to written art, that's a personal preference. I don't think it says anything about the state of people's brains that one community is larger than another, if anything, visuals are probably just easier to market in a world with a LOT of "content" going around. But at the end of the day, there just aren't a whole lotta people using Lemmy. So I'm not surprised when you say a specific community doesn't have a lot of activity. It could be that people interested in stories just have more established communities on [competing sites].

  • After watching the latest Veritasium video: why is the spin of a proton/electron decided at measurement, why not at creation?

    Jump

  • Maybe give it a second watch. Your proposal is literally what Einstein suggested, and what Bell's experiment disproved.

    Even if my parents never observed me, I would still be a boy.

    Technically, quantum mechanics says no. This is the Schrodinger's Cat situation.

    What happens if a particle doesn't get observed, does it not have spin?

    It is said to be in a superposition of having both spins. It collapses to one spin when observed.

  • Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

  • Welcome to the internet. No one knows each other, no one considers context, no one reads past the headline, everyone makes snap judgements based on half understood heuristics, and then rushes to the comments to grandstand. A job that could be trivially done by AI, and almost certainly is, but instead we'll all pretend like we're the last bastion of human sanity.
