    Washington Post ordered to rehire fired columnist Karen Atiah. She was fired after posting about “white men who espouse hatred” following Charlie Kirk’s killing

  • I would go back for a couple of days, make them do all of the paperwork, setup my access, all of the things, and then resign. She may have also lost out of some financial benefits by being fired that she would be entitled to. If that's the case, I would think that whether or not she returned shouldn't matter, but it could make it clearer.

  • GTA 6 leaks prompt Take-Two to subpoena Microsoft for Windows device IDs of everyone in three Discord servers — daily gameplay leaks shatter cloud of secrecy around the much-hyped game

    Jump

  • Fair enough. I strictly use it for comms in games I play with friends. I'm not active in any other communities and I'm certainly not paying for nitro. I'd like to migrate but getting everyone to do so probably won't happen. I could maybe convince my closest game friends, but I have a clan in a game with people I don't know that we use discord to chat. Definitely not getting all 40+ to move.

  • What solution did you end up on post Discord? If you had a group of people you communicated on Discord with, did you have luck migrating them out? I'd like to move, but my use is already really minimal and I feel like getting my friend group out is going to be difficult to non-existent in some cases.

  • Also Bethesda. Skyrim has been released so many times since 2011.

  • A question for GNOME/KDE users

    Jump

  • First, I haven't used gnome in probably 15 years, so I can't give a fair comparison, but I've grown with kde over the last 3.

    My opinion is that it's always worked for me, and is decently customizable. I couldn't use Wayland for the first 4+ months due to conflicts with my Nvidia card, but kde 6 (I think 6) fixed all of my issues.

    On new Linux serious, I don't install the full kde suite, because I have other apps I prefer like alacrity instead on konsole. This keeps it lighter but with all of the other DE controls.

    Also, I've not heard a bad thing of the kde dev team, but I have about gnome. I can't cite specifics, but I know I've read some bad stuff.

    You can always install both DEs and try both out and determine which is best for you.

  • Meta glasses are a workplace menace

    Jump

  • I was chatting with our CEO the other day and the topic of recording glasses came up. He said they are band in the company, and they've had conversations with their lawyers, that also say not to allow them. I was happy to hear that.

  • I agree. It would be nice to know why, but I'd imagine we'll never know. We can just speculate.

  • China joins Europe in scrapping Windows for Linux

    Jump

  • I agree and that's what I use on my personal devices. It's different enough that there would be some growing pains transitioning a whole team that's lived in the VS world.

  • China joins Europe in scrapping Windows for Linux

    Jump

  • VS code is lightweight and has a lot less features. Visual Studio is a full featured IDE. If you're familiar with jetbrains, it's kind of like the difference between Rider and Webstorm.

  • I accidentally logged hundreds of thousands of phone calls to military bases

  • Off-site resources aren't by default a cloud solution. The differentiation is mainly in a cloud, it's a cluster of shared resources that host virtual machines and are connected through virtual networks. Having a dedicated server to host your stuff on is just remote hosting. A company can setup and host their only cloud infrastructure if they want.

    To non IT people, the difference between interfacing with something in the cloud or a dedicated hosted setup doesn't exist. If they post a comment on Lemmy, that's may be hosted in a cloud or hosted locally on a server somewhere. If they are storing pictures in Away, then that is cloud storage.

    So their is a distinction on the back end mostly, but it's just the way resources are hosted and shared, so the front end would be the same regardless.

  • Court cuts $50M judgment against Infowars’ Alex Jones over falsely labeling Newtown killings a hoax

    Jump

  • I watched half of the first episode, and while I like what they're doing, I can't watch it. It's satire, but it's too good, and it kinda tickles my trigger reflex. I'm glad people are watching and supporting though. I want it to be successful.

  • I accidentally logged hundreds of thousands of phone calls to military bases

    Jump

  • That's never going to change. It's cloud infrastructure. It's not a company specific term, it's industry wide, and convincing an entire industry to arbitrarily change what we call something won't happen. Even changing from master to main isn't the case everywhere, and main is the default now.

    Also, 'the cloud' is both easier to say and remember than 'upstream processors', which in itself isn't an accurate name for cloud resources, really just one resource.

  • China joins Europe in scrapping Windows for Linux

    Jump

  • I bring it up any opportunity I get at work, but nothing yet. Unfortunately, our IT team does not have the skills or experience working with Linux, so it would probably be a rocky and dicey transition. As a dev, I think I can maybe convince the right people that our team should go Linux and we could be the test cases. We would all survive without the MS suite, but a lot of tools would have to change, like Jetbrains instead of Visual Studio.

  • Grand Jury Declines to Indict Man Caught on Camera Destroying Flock Pole

    Jump

  • It could be that the software isn't accurate enough to be evidence on its own. Similar to how identifying someone in a lineup is notoriously inaccurate. They may be able to use it for probably cause in a search warrant, but without other supporting evidence, they may not have a case.

  • Facial recognition has an inherent bias as well, or at least it did not too long ago. It was mostly trained on white people, so it's accuracy with non whites was really bad. I'm sure the training data is far more robust now, but that doesn't necessarily mean better.

  • EA staff fear new Saudi Arabia owners will police their games: "Projects just won't get signed because they don't align explicitly with what the Saudi government wants"

  • Do Amber Alerts for Missing Kids Actually Work? | The Walrus

    Jump

  • Yep, which is why I don't think that 6 hours away is necessarily too far for an amber alert. I think that's extra true in a place like texas that's so large that it may take a driver about 6 hours to get to a larger metro area from their starting spot. Maybe not 6 hours, but not a 30 min jaunt.
