Californians Say X Blocked Them From Viewing Amber Alert About Missing 14-Year-Old in c/technology

The mobile carriers and device OEM's already participate directly in the Amber alert program. Why is X even part of this?

Trump sentencing set for Jan. 10, judge leans toward no jail, no probation, no fine in c/economy

No punishment, sounds like the judge is doing a de facto acquittal, not a sentencing.

I read that headline, and your comment, and immediately inferred WSJ is victim-blaming people just for eating breakfast. The sheer audacity of it...

You never hear about the US hacking China or Russia at the state level. Is the US that good, or just not playing?

Yeah there's that, too. I work in the US for a company that won't let me hire anyone that isn't in India.

Well yea, why pay an American $200K/year at your San Francisco when you can import 2 H1B's for the same price working remotely from your "St. Louis, remote" office?

/s, in case that isn't obvious.

Fuck it, fuck them, and fuck me when I get back in c/[email protected]

[–] plz1 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The "wait for it to be accepted or declined" part is where most in this thread diverge. Time off is a notification, not a request, no matter what the HR platform or managers call it. Now, you can be a dick about it and not give any lead time for management to prepare for your absence, or not, and that would have obvious consequences.

I've always treated it as a notification, not a request, even early in my working career when in retail where you have low-skill power-tripping middle managers that think they can just say no. I was never fired for it, but you can be sure those managers hated me for it, nonetheless. Zero minutes of sleep lost.

Think EVs Are Bad In Winter? Here's Where They Have A Huge Advantage in c/[email protected]

[–] plz1 8 points 1 week ago

Summary

While EVs may lose range in winter, they offer superior traction control and weight distribution, making them safer to drive in snowy conditions. This is due to their ability to quickly adjust power output and maintain a low center of gravity. While all-wheel drive is beneficial, proper tires are still crucial for optimal performance in winter weather.

I work alone in my pub because I don't pay a competitive wage to attract workers.

Any way to change background color of CarPlay's "Now Playing" view? (self.apple_enthusiast)

submitted 1 year ago by plz1 to c/apple_enthusiast

1 comments fedilink

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.

[Bug] Swipe left to reply in Inbox just marks comment "read" and hides it (self.memmy)

submitted 2 years ago by plz1 to c/[email protected]

1 comments fedilink

Reproduced in latest release today. When I swipe left on a comment in Inbox to reply to it, it just hides it. If I go to the All view and re-swipe left, it'll open the reply dialog. So it appears to only be a bug if you have the view set to Unread.

Accessibility abandoned? (self.memmy)

Build 72 seems to be the nail in the coffin for font scaling. All text is tiny now. It's there any plan to support accessibility?

It seems like some failure loop. It won't load the community screen at all. If there is at least one post, it loads fine.

Request: Favorite communities without subscribing (self.memmy)

Some communities will have a deluge of posts, which tend to astroturf the main feed. I loved the feature in Apollo that let us mark a sub as a favorite to make it easy to get to, without subscribing to it and having it hit the main feed.

Can we get the option to put the voting buttons on the left? Also, view on ipad is truncating the titles when there is plenty of room.

When the app launches fresh, it seems to default to All instead of what I had before (Subscribed).

EDIT: I just found the setting for this. I don't recall seeing it before, but happy it's there!

Feature request: Better color contrast for voting buttons (self.lemmyworld)

submitted 2 years ago by plz1 to c/lemmyworld

14 comments fedilink

In dark mode, when viewing the voting buttons, could we get higher-contrast coloring when a post is voted on? The upvote coloring is nearly impossible for me to distinguish from the default un-voted color (light blue vs. grey). I'm using the darkly theme, but darkly red has the same challenge. Using browser extensions to override this is only an option for desktop-only usage.
