What are your gardening goals for 2025? in c/gardening

Hell strip overhaul from rocky weeds to... Something with intention.

Also, to get over my fear of ordering a bulk delivery of mulch instead of wasting time and extra money, getting inferior product by the bag, from the big box hardware stores.

Don't try to hang Android phones on boomers. Boomers are dipshits with tech and iphones are designed for toddlers. Majority of boomers use iPhones.

This is all theatre, trump is going to "save it" after starting the initial push to ban it (for the wrong reasons) to pretend he did something for you. Worst part is that all of the no/low info voters and non voters will eat it up.

It's the equivalent of a person pushing you into the middle of the street and at the very last second, that same person tells the drivers to all stop. "Wow, I owe you my life!"

Just wait until people start "falling out of windows" at the white house. It's only a couple stories though, so many will live to ~~tell the tale~~ publicly apologize to trump while he sits on the toilet.

Tim cook, a gay man, donated a million to trump. Don't let Apple pretend they aren't playing both sides.

What's the proper gift for a one month anniversary? (self.aboringdystopia)

Remember remember!

The 4th of December

A CEO dies all alone;

On the street he was lain,

cold, pale and in pain,

thousands of deaths that he own.

The decisions he'd struck,

Layers removed from the slaughter,

Were a shareholder's treat,

Your dead mother or daughter.

Those investors all wait, on that cold winter morn,

Still unawares of profit potential they'd mourn,

Poking at hotel breakfast, bored looks on their face

As was Brian's when he denied and delayed at great pace

Endless growth, deposed, on behalf of us all

Luigi didn't do it, we were hiking in Nepal.

I don't care if Monday's filing cases without evidence to clog the courts

Tuesday's prematurely declaring victory and Wednesday accusing fraud because vote count went overnight due to unsupported and disproven gop challenges of voting machines

Thursday, trucks with ski masked neo-nazis pulling up to the Capitol with assault rifles

It's Friday, I'm in a camp for suspected Marxist socialist antifahs!

Monday, barricades at politician's homes can fall apart

Tuesday, Wednesday, break my elderly neighbor's hip when cops break the door down at the wrong home and tackle her for being a suspected "illegal"

Oh, Thursday doesn't even start because musk/trump dept of efficiency has outlawed clocks and calendars so there can be no more legal labor challenges of unpaid overtime, no weekends and no holiday pay

It's Friday, I'm in only the second week of trump's second, never-ending term as America's dictator clumsily toppling 250+ years of democracy

You know you can do the right thing here. Go register, go vote. (Start here) - It's fast, simple and painless. You know we have to tell ourselves the above could never happen here to feel safe, but you also know it's closer to reality then ever before and you can do something, right now.

You willingly give them key points of information about yourself, directly or indirectly. They then read those signals and use your own information against you to convince you they have answers. And they are often wrong, but you walk around repeating their "insights" as if they are true.

Do companies store facial and voice recognition data from the thousands of hours of zoom/teams calls that their employees use? (self.technology)

I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory. Made me think about how it would probably be so easy for nefarious bosses to be able to identify that person through voice recognition SW with all of the data that comes from us looking directly into cameras and speaking clearly in modern workplace meetings.

Do "anonymous" callers need to start using voice modulation software for these kinds of calls in the modern world?

If Reddit had a soul/conscience, I think it was us, and we're all on Lemmy now... (self.reddit)

As a little background, I didn't actively use Reddit for months following the blackout. I still barely stop in over there and if I do I'm never logged in our contributing to the communities there (where I was previously a daily poster/commenter).

Just bringing up a point that I'm not sure I'd seen anyone discussing directly over here; the general sentiment and quality of posted information on Reddit has become tangibly worse in multiple ways (I think coinciding with this group, us, leaving).

Now don't get me wrong, Reddit sucked in many ways and for long before the migrations to Lemmy, but there is a noticeable difference in a few key areas:

  1. Less skepticism in replies

  2. Less sourcing of information in posts and replies

  3. Less counter positions expressed generally

  4. If there is a decent reply, you have to scroll much further down to find it

  5. Less plain labeling of obvious bullshit

Many of us used to introduce counter viewpoints or clarifying information into posts, with sources. That functionally worked as a roadblock to stall the quickly building momentum of disinformation/misinformation. Those roadblocks often feel absent over there now, IMO.

Not saying we hold a responsibility to go back there or that we were saving lives before, but the difference is very apparent to me - Have you seen it? Any examples?

Have you noticed, in "Watch Later" playlist YouTube no longer remembers position in playlist when you complete or exit a video? (self.youtube)

This was on the roku app on a TV, haven't explored other platforms yet.

I'm assuming this is to disable the ability for users to quickly start, back/exit and restart a video until an ad doesn't play. Eternally user hostile, enshitification bullshit.
