Anyone who knows how good we function in a crisis is able to extrapolate from there that this would be a thing.
As others have said it's the burnout and the subsequent time it takes to recover that makes this basically unsustainable. Even when finding a balance there will still be burnout.
No offense but it was the US Government. Most of their websites were coded for it, and quite a few of them didn't work properly or reliably in other browsers as a result. This was true up until it was sunsetted and they were forced to update to Edge and some of the websites still haven't been properly moved over to Chromium. When the pandemic hit and the Armed Forces had to setup remote work for thousands of people Microsoft basically built them a fork of Teams. The US Government is kind of running hand in hand with Microsoft on a lot of stuff if you just hazard a cursory look.
I'm positive at least some of the servers that house Lemmy and its FOSS sister networks are housed in VC companies. The amount of people who can support that data and the servers it resides on is small without Corps being in the mix.
We're not exactly winning over here on Lemmy or Mastodon. I've been a member of the Mastodon community for close to 6 years or so. It isn't a reasonable replacement for Twitter because (for what I used it for, which had nothing to do with Micro logging), it doesn't do what I need it to because the number of people I want to follow there are few and far between. Bands, book authors, local news networks, international news networks. I'm not likely to find out about school closings on Mastodon.
I hope they tar and feather him and then bury him under the jail. I don't understand why a person would do something like that. To anyone.
I'm guessing this is the case where the ex-husband drugged and then allowed men to have sex with her while she was unconscious.
Imagine passing out and then waking up mid loop.
This happens a lot when on all major platforms, there's nothing (not discussion, not ballot initiatives, not informational pieces about causes) that allow you to take direct action. When things broke out in Ukraine and Russia invaded there were people who jumped on planes to go fight. People were posting donation pages everywhere. People were actively rallying against actions they felt were wrong with avenues to help that were meaningful and available to the average human being.
We just don't have that in any political election and since it's a lot of the smaller elections that matter, it's important to note this deficiency. People who feel a call to action, but not a way to enact change get overwhelmed and despair. Lemmy is one of the only places I see giving information about candidates in local and rural elections (and even that isn't wide spread and mostly happens on community pages like the one for people from Maine or Chicago, or wherever).
It could be different. But different doesn't necessarily mean better unless we design it to be better. It's so hard as a little guy to get a foothold in search without one of the big 2.
This article gives basically no examples of what Gemini does better than regular Google Assistant Integration. It just claims it's better and "more natural" and that you can change your mind.
The actual functionality of asking Google to set a timer for 5 minutes or three hours and then saying "no, make that two hours" isn't super exciting. I can cancel that timer and set a new one at just about any time. This type of thing isn't enough to get people who don't want Gemini (like me) to switch.
I don't use steam forums. But I have questions. Do the steam forums have any moderation at all? Is there a report button? Can you report comments or forum threads?
I want to know because I feel like a lot of social media has the same problem as steam forums and these tools exist on the majority of those. They rely on the moderation of fellow users.
I also question whether or not steam actually has an automod or anything like that. Or human moderators.
Please keep in mind that I don't use the forums so I really have no idea. This is the first time I'm hearing about this, and I'm interested in knowing more.
