in case you’re on the older side, in addition to what they said in the other comment OTA broadcasts are now digital HD.

right back at you, genius.

anyway, there is literally no point in thinking on anything you say if you honestly believe this:

Me: "Hiring processes have ALWAYS used sex/race/etc in hiring, it is not a new thing invented by woke lefties. DEI policies are there to REDUCE it."

You: "The former is present when needed for business"

All the non sequiturs and irrelevant historical quotes are just burying this very clear statement that you're racist.

You said it's "promotion" in pre-hiring process, but not in the hiring process. Logically this means multiplication, that is, that this works as a quota. Mathematically it does, and, of course, I can't for the life of me care what they call it in socialspeak.

utter garbage.

Yes, I understand both these statements.

The former is present when needed for business,

you don’t understand shit.

I'll also add that the hardest part in building any mechanism is designing it properly, not voting for it and not being so proud how you voted once for the right party, voting doesn't involve thinking, it involves putting a mark on a paper. And the reason various freaks and jerks are now in charge of your country is because of poorly designed mechanisms aimed at various noble goals failing again and again.

what the fuck does this have to do with anything?

if you want a pragmatic answer, apple tv with emby or jellyfin+infuse works for me. not saying apple is perfect but at least their business model is not 100% dependent on monetizing your data and targeted ads.

May not always work like this, but sometimes it does.

like where? according to Cook they do not have quotas.

Also yes, what you described is similar to quotas,

no, it literally is not.

anyway, we are missing the forest for the trees. i will restate the main point i was trying to get across in my original comment. Hiring processes have ALWAYS used sex/race/etc in hiring, it is not a new thing invented by woke lefties. DEI policies are there to REDUCE it.

oh it WILL happen on both sides. it's just going to be part of our lives now, and social media is fully justified in removing it from their platforms.

yeah it's basically deepfake porn.

such as the use of race and sex in hiring decisions.”

this is such a misunderstanding of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and it's a shame to see BBC frame it in this way. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies are there to REDUCE the "use of race and sex" in hiring decisions by reducing bias towards majority demographics. There may be policies to promote race/sex in the PRE-hiring process to ensure you have diverse candidates to consider, but it is NOT demographic quotas that override hiring based on merit.

it's not a bug it's a feature.

any govt system.

i have accepted that most of the internet will be a vicious cycle of enshittification. go to cool new site, site gets too popular for its own good, monetization kicks in, site now sucks, rinse and repeat.

FOSS stuff like lemmy and mastodon will never get past the first step, which is fine. they will just occupy a separate niche.

also mainstream professionals are going to bluesky, like press and corp PR. big step towards critical mass.

we did impeach him for extorting ukraine last time.

if you want it to interact with a wide range of environments and objects that were designed for humans, then a humanoid robot may be the way to go.

they could have gone so many different directions. nutcracker. river dance. yackety sax…

APD doesn’t have similarities with ADHD. ADHD can cause APD but APD like many other common symptoms is not in the official catalog of symptoms for ADHD.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9493945/

"Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) present overlapping symptomatology."

Someone with ADHD can better focus when they get the info simultaneously as text and audio? Unbelievable!

Or... maybe she really does have APD as her doctors says she does?

I don’t say that she has it but most neurodiverse will see lot’s of checked boxes.

...because APD has some similar symptoms to ADHD. yet there are many armchair psychiatrists in here diagnosing her with ADHD.

The woman in the article is also just a single example. They mention that this condition is on the rise in general.

it's not untestable, they just haven't actually done it yet. In fact they say in the article research is needed.

eh, I don't see a problem with this article specifically, and I don't think your "cancer" hyperbole is helpful. If people feel like they are suffering from a similar listening/attention issue, there's no real harm in trying to go without noise-cancelling for a while to see if the symptoms improve.
