It does not seem imminent

I want to see what tech hiring was doing over the same periods

[–] vatlark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

No worries. Thanks!

Hello, thanks for posting to shower thoughts. Rule 2 is that the title should be a complete thought. The idea is that, shower thoughts are simple so someone shouldn't need to click on a post to know the thought.

Mind updating the title?

Finding the international itinerary and the prices is such a pain currently. If you can easily compare routes then buying them isn't so bad.

Trainline.com is OK, but they still don't have all of the routes so its often better/required to buy from the national provider.

Hopefully transitous.org will solve the problem of stitching the routes together and then someone will build the automated payment and ticket management on top of it.

That cone is the tip of a missile. After they built the silo they extended the range of the ballistic missile so its about 50 ft taller than the original design.

Tap for spoiler\s

Meanwhile Mistral named theirs 'vibe'

Took me a moment to parse that headline

Ha, it actually says that? Yeah having a dumb pop-up is pretty heavy handed. If there was a train as an alternative then I get it. The app seems to be under heavy development. When I first saw it it didn't have much outside of France, now it covers much of Europe... maybe you are outside of what is covered well

Oh I hadn't realized it shows CO2. Cool.

What did it do to judge you? Does it give a sad emoji or something?

What is that website? Its like a tarot card learned arithmetic

[–] vatlark@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Cartes.app is amazing.

It excels at route planning but then it encourages you to use comaps for the actual navigation. Because its offline.... its a beautiful opensource ecosystem

 

Has anyone used it or gotten good with it? I have found very little online.

The QMK approach is a little more mature from what I can tell. The acceleration keys seem nice.

what is it

Mouse emulation is when you can move the mouse using keyboard keys.

Popular keyboard firmware allows it:

Even if the thumbnail is broken the video should work

 

While not the IKEA shark, I imagine his platform would be endorsed by the shark, with LGBTQIA+ protections, and opposing the Israel's genocide.

EDIT: They want users to help generate a dataset. You just play a game and email them the data when you are done.

I just did it, it was easy.

 

First I wanted to give a shout out for the amazing work by the jmp.chat and cheogram teams for offering a great alternative to Google voice.

Now the issue; sometimes when I open cheogram it seems to forget my contacts. So all of my existing chats just show the phone numbers. The group chats still have their names.

Then the names come back later, but the problem is pretty common and renders SMS nearly impossible.

Anyone else have this problem?

 

I am really impressed by how well organized they are and how much they have been able to accomplish so little funding. The Global March to Gaza, then the Sumud Floatila have been some great ideas for significant peaceful action.

During the last flotilla and just afterward we saw:

  • A general strike in Italy.
  • Spanish and Italian war ships deployed.
  • Spain's complete arms embargo is enshrined into law
  • Many nations recognized Palestine for the first time and reaffirmed their recognition.
  • Even the US, the most significant sponsor of the genocide, proposed the best peace plan of this administration and took a small but material step in opposition to Israel.

I'm hopeful the momentum continues and I think these people have demonstrated their trustworthiness as much as any group.

Quality info on the aid situation in Gaza (frames.forensic-architecture.org)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by vatlark@lemmy.world to c/palestine@lemmy.ml
 

Really great maps and info on how the aid stations are distributed and operate.

You hear that basically no aid is getting distributed, but the details of the aid stations being hours away and only open 20 minutes a day if at all really clarifies how performative and meaningless the "aid" is.

 

...Other than salt and pepper

For me it's cumin. It's one of the few spices I buy in bulk and actually use up my supply.

In the winter it may lean towards cardamom thanks to copious amounts of chia.

 

Maybe it's not surprising, but moving my saved places from Organic Maps to CoMaps took maybe two button clicks.

Export, select CoMaps, done.

Now to move my donation :)

 

This proposed rule change is open for comment until May 19.

My comment was:

I urge the rejection of this proposed rule.

I think we can be very thankful for the definition of harm as currently defined. If we were talking about the human species there would be no doubt that significant degradation of our ability to feed, shelter, and produce offspring would indeed be considered harm.

From only an economic perspective this proposed rule change is extremely counter productive. We learn an enormous amount from animals and that knowledge creates enormous economic value.

An example is the horseshoe crab. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science estimates the value of horseshoe crabs to the medical research industry at $100M per year. In 2023, the US Fish and Wildlife Service began work to aid their reproduction and support this industry. If harm is no longer defined as a significant decline in ability to reproduce, will we be able to protect this industry?

As our technology advances we are always learning more from animals, so we don't know which animals will give us our next billion dollar industry. After we decimate a species, we may not get to choose if it goes extinct, and with each extinct species we inflict immense harm on current and future generations of humans.
