Last job killed my love of IT, management beat it out of me. Wonderful company, demotivated by my manager from the first week. Couldn't be a nicer guy, smartest tech I've ever met, Peter Principled his was into management.

I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of 'hitlerites'

Can they rush in after the first two words, before you say "not"? Can they enter if they stuff their ears before they hear the final word?

We haven't even made it to January 20 (Trump inauguration). We already have major fires in our second largest city, terrorist attacks, talk of invading Greenland/Panama/Canada. almost no one talking about what we really need to do to cut carbon. Hospitals are full in my area and people talk about washing hands, but not about masking. I am already so weary. I don't know what is going to happen after January 21.

EDIT: on web, it renders like this

Today I noticed a huge wall of spam from UniversalMonk from 2 different accounts and didn't initially think much of it and blocked their communities but more spam came from different communities.

So I'm European and am aware that American culture is very different in many ways. Idk if this is just some type of thing about American culture and mentality in general that has always been there or if it is a trend that started recently in the past few years.

And please don't tell me "just change jobs".

I’m a business analyst, and a big part of my job involves working with engineers and product managers to gather detailed, in-depth information. For reasons I don’t fully understand (though I have my theories), I often find that engineers, in particular, seem oddly reluctant to share the information I need. This makes the process more challenging than I’d like. Does anyone have tips or tricks for building trust with engineers to encourage them to share information more willingly and quickly?

Not just websites and online services but games, stores, restaurants, etc are they? Have you noticed significant quality reduction with nearly matching price increases?

Every account you ever had, every post/comment you ever posted, now has your real name, a photo of you, and your address, all just magically show up on the webpage right next to each of your posts/comments (also, no "hacking" could hide the info). All deleted posts/comments are magically restored and nothing you do (short of permanently shutting down the website and physical destruction of the servers) can delete them. (Any edits would still show every change you made.) How fucked are you?

I get it - Google sucks for a lot of reasons. Unfortunately, they own the largest video sharing platform, and it's difficult to avoid. Many people opt to use and share links to 3rd party web interfaces that greatly de-enshittify the experience (Piped/Invidious), and I'm glad for that and that those projects exist.

Today I went to burger king for the first time in years. It was even worse than I remembered it. (had the vegetarian option, don't know if it's as bad with the meat burgers) Additionally it's fucking expensive and not as quick as it used to be. So my question is why do some people go there regulary?

Please kindly take your grift to Reddit, Facebook, or Twitter

Mine is orzo. It's slippery and it should grow a spine and be either pasta or rice but not both.

The reverse of that post I've made a week ago...

How many millions of users does it have? How many posts? How active are they?

For me, it was always Optimus Prime from *The Transformers* movie.

Some ideas are: * You branch off into another timeline and your actions make no difference to the previous timeline * You’ve already taken said actions but just didn’t know about it so nothing changes * Actions taken can have an effect (so you could suddenly erase yourself if you killed your parents) * Only “nexus” or fixed events really matter, the timeline will sort itself out for minor changes * something else entirely

Tell a fish success is measured by climbing a tree, and he will spend his whole life thinking he's a failure.

Okay this is gonna probably make absolutely zero sense, but I'm gonna try and explain:

"But tires"

I have recently become more aware of and generally interested in electronics and amateur radio, and it got me thinking. What advantage, if any, would there be to having amateur radio experience, over a simple disaster crank radio/flashlight, in the event of a major natural disaster or some other emergency that leads to a longer delay in power being restored? For the sake of argument, let’s assume you have a generator or battery bank to supply your own electricity.

Like this:

Rules: explain why

Not just as in Lemmy, but as in general.
