Star Trek celebrates the diversity of humanity. The extremes of genetic engineering and (on the other side of the spectrum, perhaps) the Borg are symbolic of the corruption of that diversity.
For an in-universe explanation, I suppose you could just look at the degree to which cybernetics are tolerated. Rutherford-level cybernetics? No problem! Borg Queen-level cybernetics? Helm, warp nine, full reverse!
That title makes me chuckle. He should go set up a fresh install of Windows and see what the default security experience is like. Mac OS makes it smooth and fast, and relatively unobtrusive in comparison.
It's so amazing to see a comment like this. For years and years, the tech industry workers were heavily anti-union. I'm glad to see the sentiment turning around.
If I think I’m sick, regardless of what I’m sick with, I try to isolate and mask as much as possible. Nobody wants to get sick from me. For the flu and Covid, I go and get tests to allow me to take the antiviral medications. If I have Covid, I mask for a couple of weeks just to prevent spreading it.
Yeah, this is usually the reason I will downvote a news article. Misinformation needs to be marked somehow, and a negative score is a good way to do that.
I know this pain. This is why I have so many 49 minute timers
Oh no. There goes my workday productivity.
As many tinnitus sufferers like myself know, the never-ending ringing in your ears can become unbearable at times. Sometimes white noise can help by making it harder to distinguish the ringing from other sounds. I know I've run fans in my bedroom while falling asleep to help distract me, for example.
You can use the iPhone's Background Sounds feature to generate this noise for you. And with Airpods Pro, you can deliver the sound directly to a single ear and let external sounds in so you can still hear what's going on around you.
Here's how you do it.
The background sounds will play continuously, but will be suspended for announcements from Siri and phone calls. ~~Interestingly, background sounds are just reduced in volume by about 90% when you start playing Apple Music~~. There's a setting in the Background Sounds pane that will disable the background noise while media is playing. Otherwise it will continue playing but will be reduced in volume. Background sounds resume normally after stopping any of those activities.
We've been hard at work updating and refining the site since we came online about five weeks ago. If you're a regular user of the site, you should notice significant speed and stability improvements, as well as a lot more content. Here's a quick recap of the changes we've made over the last month.
As always, if you have recommendations for the site, or questions about the rules or how we operate, or if you just want to be social and talk about how god-awful the heat is, please feel free to post in our town square, the Ninja Tea Room. Until next time, stay smoky, ninjas!
If you're looking for NSFW communities, Lemmyverse.net now provides a Show NSFW checkbox to help filter your search. Unlike a regular checkbox, however, this checkbox has three states.
By default when you visit Lemmyverse.net, the checkbox is unchecked. That means that any search you perform will exclude any community marked as NSFW.
Figure 1: The Show NSFW checkbox is unchecked, so no NSFW communities will be shown.
Clicking the checkbox once changes the filter to include both NSFW and SFW communities in the search result. This is indicated by a hyphen in the checkbox with a yellow background, as well as a tooltip if you over over it.
Figure 2: After clicking the Show NSFW checkbox once, NSFW communities will be included in search results alongside SFW communities.
Clicking the checkbox again will set the filter to display only NSFW communities. This is indicated by a checkmark in the checkbox with a red background. As before, a tooltip will also indicate the state of the filter.
Figure 3: After clicking the Show NSFW checkbox a second time, search results will be limited to displaying only NSFW communities.
As you may have guessed, you can click the checkbox again to uncheck the box and display only SFW communities again.
In closing, here is a note about NSFW communities on Lemmy. If you are using the Lemmy UI on desktop or mobile, there is a Show NSFW Content setting in your profile. You will need to have this setting enabled before you can view the posts in the NSFW communities you subscribe to. If you've had this setting turned off, just be aware that your Lemmy experience could dramatically change when you enable it, especially if you spend a lot of time on the All timeline on a busy Lemmy server.
I think it's important with a piece like this to take a step back and figure out why the editor put it in the publication to begin with. Let's take a look at its components.
This isn't propaganda. Some editor saw this, knew how people would respond, and published it for the clicks.
I read the article a couple of times. Nowhere in it is Ravitz advocating this model. He's talking about how he is using this model and thinks that it can be a wealth generator. He hasn't even sold his first renovated house yet; he just thinks he will sell it in August or September.
Strip away all the dressing up of the article and you could title it, "Guy who sells houses improves his house and plans to sell it for a profit, and if it works he will keep doing it."
I'm an admin on lemmy.ninja, a month-old Lemmy instance. Users are required to validate their emails, but the email sent to them to do this always ends up in the spam folder. There's nothing we can do about that. We've found, however, that if the users are told to go get it, they can find the mail and validate just fine.
What's the best way to get this message to users while they're creating their new account? Is there a file we can edit to add instructions about checking their spam folder while they're creating the "create" button?
I'm hoping someone has a creative solution. I know it won't be a 100% fix, but any little bit helps.
OP, I just wanted to say thank you for writing such a good title. It's rare to get such an informative, clickbait-free title these days.
I assumed these were just the same communities only started on different servers?
This is correct. Anyone can start a community on any Lemmy (Or KBin) server, and they can name it whatever they want. When a community is on a remote Lemmy instance, you see the @ suffix to help you see which one it is referring to. When no @ suffix is shown, that means that the community you are looking at is hosted on the instance that you are currently viewing Lemmy content through.
I don't know how much future frustration you just saved me, but I'm betting it was a lot. Thank you!
Let's say you are applying for an engineering position and you want to mention that you contribute to an open source project. Mention the software stack used, maybe the number of downloads, and your focus on the project. Explain it in general terms. If it gets asked about in the interview, just answer questions without providing the name of the project.
