So to put this in perspective, at an average cost of 10 cents per LEGO this set would cost over 4 million dollars.

fidodo@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The FTC Just Banned Noncompete Agreements And It's A Huge DealEnglish0·1 年前The FTC’s three Democratic members were in favor of adopting the regulation, while its two Republican members were against it.
Not surprising in the least. Of all the Republican hypocrisy their attitude towards workers using their value to increase their earnings is one of the worst. They claim that they support self reliance and building yourself up, but stuff like this shows that it’s clearly a lie. They support businesses maximizing their earnings by charging what the market will bear, but as soon as a worker tries to do the exact same thing they lose their God damn minds.
I think the characters are in those careers commonly because it’s what the writers know.
And then you proceed to put on heavy armor and never see their face or body again
fidodo@lemmy.worldto Framework Laptop Community@lemmy.ml•As much as I love the idea of the laptop, and as much as I want one, I just can't seem to justify it over my current Lenovo T480. Other than a faster/newer processor, I'm not sure that I'dEnglish1·1 年前The main feature of the framework laptop is that it’s more maintainable and and sustainable. If your current laptop is fine then neither of those matter and using your current laptop is the most sustainable option.
I really don’t want a Roku because of bullshit like this https://www.pcmag.com/news/roku-bricking-tvs-unless-users-accept-dispute-resolution-terms
Don’t just think about the position of president. Think about the thousands of appointments they make. It’s not voting for 1 position, it’s voting for an entire branch of government, potentially 2. Whatever you think about them, remember that it’s gonna be either Biden or Trump appointing all those positions, so even if you hate both of them equally, add up all the incredibly powerful positions they appoint and compare the sum of it all. It’s a compounding magnitude, so I cannot imagine how anyone can not have a preference when you are considering the full reach and impact that the 1 position has. Supreme court justices, federal judges, agency and department heads, countless secretaries, regulatory board heads, ambassadors and more and more, plus all the influence on positions those appointees have below them.
It’s not an nft, it has to be hexagonal to be an nft
Damn it, all those stupid hacking scenes in CSI and stuff are going to be accurate soon

fidodo@lemmy.worldto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•My mom uses Linux, btwEnglish0·1 年前Lol I’m a tech lead and I’ve done this on a train no less. Thought I had my headphones paired but it took me a few minutes to realize why the sound was muffled.
fidodo@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•Nuclear fusion reactor in South Korea runs at 100 million degrees C for a record-breaking 48 secondsEnglish1·1 年前I’d like to know more. How do you actually harness the energy produced by temperatures that high? Is the end goal to figure out how to sustain the reaction at lower temperatures or do we actually have ways to generate electricity from those temperatures without losing most of it to waste?
This exact kind of situation does happen all the time. I don’t believe it’s a majority of men at all, but even if it’s a small percentage, that’s still a lot because of the magnitude of their actions. Even if it’s only a 5% chance that rejecting a guy is going to cause them to go completely off the rails, you’re still not going to want to take that chance because there’s nothing in it for you, and in those 5% of cases it’s going to be extremely upsetting, or in some cases, actually physically dangerous to you.
You need to touch grass and talk to more women if you don’t know that most women have experiences exactly like this.
fidodo@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Daylight saving creator left the chat....English1·1 年前What matters is consistency and our time system has tons of crazy inconsistent shit in our. Everyone knows about leap years, but do you know about leap seconds? Imagine trying to write a function to convert unix time to a current date and suddenly all your times are a second off.
Just look at this insane bullshit nonsense. The added complexity of time zones and daylight saving time is nothing compared to simply supporting our time system.

The desktop was feature complete in 1998. Everything after that was unnecessary complication. I use xfce desktops and it hasn’t changed a bit and I love it.

fidodo@lemmy.worldto solarpunk memes@slrpnk.net•how can something be so courageous and yet so trueEnglish2·1 年前Apple is by far the most monopolistic tech company you can choose from.
But… While capitalism naturally leads to monopolies, capitalism can’t function under monopolies, so I guess supporting the most monopolistic company is going against capitalism…
That’s a hot take I’d expect to hear from a 12 year old.
