Aa!

But why bother holding back in the first place. If this is whistleblower information like Boeing safety issues, there’s no point in setting up a dead man’s switch. You want to release it all immediately in the first place, because keeping it to yourself undermines the point of blowing the whistle

With whistleblower information, why hold it back in the first place? Wouldn’t it be better to release it immediately if they might kill you either way?

“The Good Place” suggested that what you have done is less important than what you are currently doing to improve as a person.

You may never erase the your moral failings from the past, but as long as you are still trying to be better, that’s what matters.

Gelsinger was hired as a known long time engineer, rather than as a business expert. I would trust his numbers from an engineering perspective, even though I was laid off under his rule

Sounds like Snakes on a Plane to me. That’s precisely what I found fun about that ridiculous film

I’m my experience the scaled sort just has the same problem only the opposite. You end up with a feed full of mostly brand new posts in empty communities.

Either a dozen posts by a moderator of one community, or a single user posting the same thing to a dozen vaguely related communities.

A mild headache is not even an inconvenience in my experience, so “suffer through it” is hyperbolic. As I said, they are most often caused by not drinking enough water, and drinking more water will usually resolve it anyway. If you want to drink tea instead of water, it’s basically the same results, but it’s the hydration that makes the difference.

If it is more than a mild headache and actually bothering me, then I’ll go for a proper pain relief medication. I keep that on hand for that reason.

Well I just suffer through it if it’s just a little headache. I’d rather not use any medication unless it’s actually hindering my ability to be productive.

The majority of the time, a headache like that is caused by not drinking enough water in the first place, and that’s always a better place to start

Lots of things from nature are not going to be good for you simply by being natural. And most medications come from studying the effects of things found in nature on biology.

I’ll use treatments and medications that have studies backing their health impact. Occasionally those may be herbal supplements for better nutrition, but most herbal remedies that we know actually work are just a less effective form of the refined medications and treatments that have been developed. If the medication or conventional treatment is readily available, I would pick that first

And “alternative treatments” are nearly always complete bunk.

Communities aren’t hashtags!

Try using one of the PWA’s, like Voyager. Just go to vger.app in your browser. It’s still a browser-based front end, but it has more features than the default interface

I’ve said before, but part of my biggest gripe with Lemmy is the process of curating a decent feed. A lot of new users will see the mess of posts in All, including political extremists, an ever growing list of fetish porn communities, and bottom of the barrel shitposts, and they won’t be interested in spending a couple hours blocking and subscribing to things before the feed is usable.

One way to address this is to give instance admins better tools to curate a default subscriptions and block list for their users. Allow admins to create what they think is the most accessible feed, but also allow users to customize it as they see fit.

They used to say “one carry-on and one personal item” (which included things like a purse or a backpack). On my shorter trips, I could travel without checking a bag under this policy.

Pretty sure that’s ZH?

Frau Blucher!

Look, I accept a sonic shower.

But I don’t think anyone thought the way to improve the toilet was to make it more “sonic.”

People mention eating it whole… I at least shave the hair off it first.

Yes, my experience with websites over the past few decades.

NSFW stands for “not safe for work.” What do you think it means? It’s pretty straightforward in its meaning.

It isn’t censorship if you can just turn it off and see everything. It’s a warning for people who want to browse at work but not view content that can get them in trouble

Just turn it off and ignore it if it doesn’t apply to you. The rest of us want the tag to be used for its purpose.

Which you can easily turn off if you don’t browse Lemmy at work.

Just because you don’t use the tag for its intended purpose doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t. The tag has a clear purpose, denoted by what it stands for. Most people with adult jobs understand its purpose. Don’t ruin the tag’s purpose for the rest of us by devaluing it
