Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party.

    • Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff?

    Jump

    • Can't unsee now

    • Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

    Jump

  • I recognize your name and appreciate your efforts, fam!

    • Head banging to the Saudi Arabian national anthem

    • Rubin Observatory changes biography of astronomer Vera Rubin in a push to end "DEI" efforts

    Jump

  • "...scientists in general and astronomers in particular are not going to take these threats lying down..."

    I'm glad to hear that and look forward to seeing what they plan to do. Realistically, I'm not expecting much.

    • Tumblr to join fediverse

    Jump

  • Say, are you saying that it's possible to take an existing Mastodon post, and post it into Lemmy? If so can you pliz point me to someplace that says how to do that? So far I've only seen this guide: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1467-8270-7e3d-48d984455929 and it only says how to crosspost a new Mastodon post, not an existing Mastodon post.

    Jump

  • The article seems well-written, except that:

    the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.

    Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we're like "and others" lel... I guess they didn't mention Pixelfed either tho and it's a lot "hotter"...

    • Why do the femcels and the incels not.... date each other?

    Jump

  • depressed/self-loathing people dating each other is a really bad idea and results in shitty relationships and emotional turmoil

    I see what you're getting at here... but sometimes instead it results in going to couples therapy and figuring out the roots of your problem and talking to a psychiatrist for medications, etc.

    • I think this guy should try being a novelist

    Jump

  • Eh... if this were written in high school it'd be promising. In college, not a bad first draft. In grad school, if this is the result of several revisions then you're definitely not top of the class.

    • Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop

    Jump

  • Truly, we have left the era of irony and entered the era of farce.

    • ai comments on cbs videos, but why?

    Jump

  • I think what they're getting at is this is clearly a simple script doing template generation: (1) statement of praise (2) statement of encouragement/thanks (3) a couple emoji. The sentences that are used to populate the templates might be LLM-generated, but these aren't state-of-the-art neural network "AI"s.

    • Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps

    Jump

  • Apple Maps currently shows it as Gulf of Mexico, fwiw.

  • Greetz all! Check out these communities, all of which are active (as of last week):

    • know the chain of command

    • "The insultingly low salary you would have accepted is still too high."

    Jump

  • From the title "Junior Video Editor" and your description of the salary you proposed it sounds like this is an entry-level job that'll probably go to someone fresh out of school.

    It's hard to read too much into it because this might just be a form letter, but it sounds like they genuinely thought you were a good candidate but they were looking for a more junior position. Sometimes this is dictated by their budget available.

    Even if this is a form letter, they probably have a letter for the case where the salary was OK but they never want to hear from the candidate again. So you didn't get that letter, at least!

    It looks like this was a "near miss". It's discouraging, but keep at it, you can do it.

    • DAE feel a bit out of the pop culture loop using Lemmy as their primary social media?

    Jump

  • The big events of my Sunday were !superbowl@lemmy.world and Monsterdon. I consider this an absolute win. My cousin was telling me something about some halftime show but I was like huh?

    Mixed feelings about Eurovision entries. I like seeing them without expectations. I had no warning that Kaarija's Cha Cha Cha or Go_A's SHUM were gonna be as epic as they are. I'll probably be on Mastodon when Eurovision's live.

    Anyway, nothing's keeping you from the mainstream social media if that's where you'll find what you need. You're always welcome here!

    • Former redditors, how do you feel the conversations on lemmy differ than the ones you've observed on reddit?

    Jump

  • Solution: don't look at news communities. Only subscribe to communities without news, politics, or tech...

  • A significant chunk of people on here seem extremely depressed.

    Wait.... are we just gonna let this pass? Not sure how to feel about this...

    • My kids bored out of their minds with a house full of toys, don't know how good they got it

  • Oh yeah good point! That ancient Mesopotamian nerd will also be like: "And they'll make up stories about talking ponies.... and they'll dress up like furry animals and have meetings together!" Oh, Mesopotamian nerd, you were born way too soon...
