Only if you get the fake stuff where it’s just normal yoghurt that they added extra Greek to

If the judge has a history with, even hugging, the accused; I’d be concerned that they might be more lenient with their sentencing than they would a stranger. Especially if they’re back for the third time
That’s always been my philosophy… I bought it, I’m not buying it again
Isn’t this a huge conflict of interest?
Lol yep, I’ve seen them twice, must be a stalker! (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿) I don’t even know if they’re a guy or not.
I have unconfirmed theories.
- My C and V key are literally the most worn keys on my keyboard. The letters are completely worn off, they’re by far my most used keys. That amount of use probably makes the contacts degrade and less reliable.
- Windows 10 (I think?) introduced a “fancy clipboard” with history and multi paste and generally made it an “app”. In my experience the fancier it is the more failure points, since it’s no longer just a simple OS memory buffer, it has its own application logic.
- Since it’s a global hotkey, the OS has to:
- Handle the interrupt
- Query the currently active window / application for a “copy” output of the currently highlighted context
- Wait for a response
- Place that response into a buffer of some sort
- In a highly volatile asynchronous UI where the user can alt tab at any time, I imagine often what happens is that you just didn’t wait long enough for the data to actually copy. Pressing CTRL+C would be equivalent in reliability as waiting 2 seconds, but it’s more fun to press the button a bunch
Probably my most hated feature that I couldn’t turn off. Every time I expected middle click to start scrolling in VSCode or a word document or any app really, it would paste my clipboard instead, and I would die a little inside
My butt and reading comprehension are fine, thanks for asking. I was just adding context.
As for why I checked your history, I recognised your user tag from your reply, and was curious whether this was actually a common thing for you.
0·17 hours agoThese gamble on anything apps are so dystopian it hurts
0·17 hours agoI already kind of assumed cat kibble was made with plants or something lol. Meat is expensive.
As long as they’re healthy and nutrition is met, who cares? I’m sure that they actually tested this food before putting it on the market. Feels like most of the “discussion” was just people raging against veganism and vegetarianism again.
This is a real thing though; it’s called keeping an open mind and trying to reduce bias. Most people don’t get it because they’re basically running an operating system of biases and stereotypes and groupthink.
The hard part is resisting people putting you into boxes. Half my comments or posts on Lemmy, people try to force me into an extremist “take” or “position” so they can argue against me. But very often, there is no hard set belief here, I’m just stating my opinion. If I see information that convinces me otherwise, I’ll change it; but no amount of emotional arguments, name calling, or fallacies mean anything to me.
I didn’t go to the popular instance initially. I will say though that the onboarding process had very confusing UX and I didn’t really understand what was going on or what an instance even was
Also from that Wikipedia article:
Tap for quotes
Official government announcements shortly after the event put the number who died at about 300.
The Swiss Ambassador had estimated 2,700, following a visit to Beijing’s hospitals.
Records from Beijing’s main eleven hospitals, compiled shortly after the events, recorded at least 478 dead and 920 wounded, though Timothy Brook notes that these figures are an undercount due to lack of information from other hospitals.
Jonathan Fenby puts the death toll at over 700 in his book
British Ambassador Alan Donald initially claimed, based on information from a “good friend” in the State Council of China, that a minimum of 10,000 civilians died […] Donald later revised his estimate to 2,700–3,400 deaths
While public discussions about the events have become socially taboo, private discussions about them continue to occur despite frequent interference and harassment by the authorities. Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo remained in China in order to speak out about Tiananmen in the 1990s despite the fact that he received offers of asylum; he faced constant surveillance. Zhang Xianling and Ding Zilin, the mothers of victims who died in 1989, founded the Tiananmen Mothers organisation and were particularly outspoken about the humanitarian aspects of the protests. The authorities mobilize security forces, including members of the People’s Armed Police, every year on 4 June in order to prevent public displays of remembrance, with an especially heavy security presence on the anniversaries of major events such as the 20th anniversary of the protests in 2009 and the 25th anniversary of the protests in 2014. On the 30th anniversary of the protests in 2019, the well-known Chinese artist Ai Weiwei wrote that “autocratic and totalitarian regimes fear facts because they have built their power on unjust foundations” and he also wrote that memory is important: “without it there is no such thing as a civilised society or nation” because “our past is all we have.”
Journalists have frequently been denied entry to the square on the anniversaries of the massacre. Also, the authorities are known to have detained foreign journalists and increase surveillance of prominent human rights activists during this time of year. Internet searches on “4 June Tiananmen Square” made within China return censored results or result in temporarily severed server connections. Specific web pages with select keywords are censored while other websites, such as those which support the overseas Chinese democracy movement, are blocked wholesale.
The actual numbers of deaths seems to be heavily disputed. In a country where the government heavily censors even discussion of the event and redacts all mention of it online, I’m hesitant to take the “official” numbers at face value. The truth is we’ll never know the true death count, we only have unreliable information; but I wouldn’t be surprised if the event was as bad, or worse, than what we know.
That’s it, dock their social credit score (is that still a thing on piefed?)
1·19 hours agoAds aren’t mind control though. Usually they are just triggers for an already existing desire. Unfortunately, a lot of people suffer from rampant consumerism, and want to buy anything and everything.
The recipient of the report probably uses A.I. to summarise it. So all the useless reports are actually an indirect and inefficient communication mechanism between different A.I. instances. Maybe we should cut out the middle man(ager)
0·1 day agoI made a medical software. It’s not the only one in the niche, but I still think I made a difference.
I really focused on quality. No bugs allowed to exist for more than a week. Must be fast, efficient, convenient, pretty to look at, reliable, secure, private, anything and everything for the end user. I worked fucking hard for years. We were the premium product. Every feature made medical professional’s lives a tiny bit easier. I never said “that’s impossible”, I would rewrite half the application over two weeks if needed. Over time, it grew bigger and bigger; it’s a huge product now with thousands of features.
I like to think that I’ve indirectly helped people, by helping the people that help people. If that makes sense. It’s one of two things in my life I’m proud of.
Once, the office got sent a gift basket of chocolate and flowers from a happy customer. You don’t forget that.
0·1 day agoThey probably only did anything because they knew it wasn’t actually real or dangerous in any way. If the teacher were serious, they’d probably be the sleep meme again lol
Honestly that’s a good slogan. I’d vote for them
