  • State Department reveals plan to buy $400m in ‘armored’ Teslas in biggest contract of 2025

    Jump

  • Apparently this is being disputed. Biden started the ball rolling about getting an armoured EV fleet. Sounds like some document said Tesla on it but now it doesn’t.

  • Sounds like a problem for them, not me.

  • A couple of months ago my manager pulled me aside and very nicely told me off for not taking me annual leave. She said she wanted to see it all used before it reset.

  • Do we support CostCo? I’m not sure if that’s a joke or if they’re cool.

  • Is this a normal thing in the US? I live in the UK and I don’t think I’ve ever had a vacation request denied in my whole life, even when I submit them with less than two weeks notice.

  • Parents sue TikTok over child deaths allegedly caused by ‘blackout challenge’

    Jump

  • Parents can’t police everything their kids do, especially when they’re older.

  • Musk says he 'deleted' IRS easy filing team that let Americans file taxes for free online

    Jump

  • Does everyone have to file taxes? In the UK, unless you're renting a property or otherwise have some income on the side like that, you don't file taxes at all, it's just all done automatically.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • I thought they were taking the piss with the $30, is that for real?

    I used to live in Morocco and I paid about $3 a month for free deliveries with their local equivalent.

  • Question about instances

    Jump

  • Feddit.uk is good if you’re in the UK. Then you can switch to Local and see lots of UK stuff.

  • Dell is making everyone return to office, too

    Jump

  • I don’t know why people don’t want to work in the office. I spent a week working from home and it felt like a prison.

  • What's up with employee-owned companies/co-ops? How does it compare to a strong union?

    Jump

  • I don’t know much about them but I like the idea and I’d be more inclined to use one.

    We have the Co-op in the UK and it’s a household name. They run a bank and local shops but I think do more than that. They’re not employee owned though, they’re consumer owned. I’m not entirely sure what that means but I remember you used to be able to walk into a shop, pay a small amount of money, and then join. Each year you’d get a small amount of money depending on how much profit they’d made.

  • Alternatives to VirtualBox?

    Jump

  • What about VMware Workstation Pro? Or are you looking for something FOSS? It’s easy to download without creating an account and I found it easier to setup that VB. I actually switched because I’d been having connectivity issues with VB and it took me a year to realise it was a VB issue.

  • Spending on physical video game software in the US has been cut in more than half since 2021 and is now more than 85% below its 2008 peak.

  • Everyone’s in here acting like this is happening because they’re getting rid of shops. The shops wouldn’t be going anywhere if people were using them.

    People use digital media because it’s so much more convenient. I’ve moved house three times in the past four years and it was so much easier just having to move my console rather than lug a bunch of games with it. Plus I can buy them while I’m sitting on my arse and I don’t have to go to a shop or wait until the next day for a delivery.

    People are using digital media because it’s convenient, not because the shops are closing.

  • Former Arkane designer says Dishonored 2 cost more to make than Skyrim, and while it didn't meet Bethesda's sales expectations, the series' reputation still 'saved the studio'

    Jump

  • Was Dishonoured 2 any good? I finished the first one but it was really soured by the whole chaos system thing. I really didn’t like how I was supposed to play the game without killing anyone to get the good game. Playing the game without killing people is boring but the sad ending is so depressing it makes you feel like you failed.

  • Let's discuss how to efficiently promote Lemmy to potential new joiners

    Jump

  • Just a thought I’m having, but rather than just spamming Reddit with Lemmy links maybe we should promote it more on Linux type areas, at least people coming from there will find their niche content here.

  • Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy

    Jump

  • How is Lemmy (or whatever) ever gonna scale up to the size of Reddit though? If they can’t deal with trolls and bots and spam then what the hell are we gonna do?

  • Know the difference

    Jump

  • They didn’t get to choose the apartment they lived in, they couldn’t own them, they were often basic with communal kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a good thing they were free because the wages were low, and people were assigned jobs so there was little they could do to improve their careers, not that skilled people got paid much more.

  • New rules?

    Jump

  • I have no idea what’s happening but if I know Lemmy then the community is overreacting.

  • This ain't balanced at all!

    Jump

  • This joke is from 2002.

  • Chinese TikTok alternative RedNote could pose greater security risks, experts say

    Jump

  • I don’t understand, why are exactly are people moving to RedNote? I’ve never heard of it.
