Well then. Neat.

So then you are really just paying for the label?
Yes people are using the phrase wrong, not assuming the president is “in line” too. It’s pretty obvious what they mean.
Come on, you know nobody is assuming the president is “in line” for the presidency. They are just counting from the president at 1 and using the term in line. The speaker is the third person to be president after the president and vice president.
As I said, no judgement from me one way or another. Also we have no way of knowing what kind of contract she had or whether there was some kind of morality clause. Maybe this violated it. Maybe not.
All I was saying was that, whether right or wrong, employment can be terminated pretty much anywhere in the United States for any reason as long as it’s not a protected thing, which this almost certainly is not. So saying something is or isn’t a fireable offense probably needs some context. Because anything could be a fireable offense if the company thinks it is.
I don’t know so I won’t speak to that, and no judgement of right or wrong here, but this is the US. Anything is or can be a fireable offense so long as it’s not one of a few specific protected things. In almost every state. So making a post on social media pretty much regardless of content can be a fireable offense if the company deems it so.
True, reddit though does at least seem to have a lot more active niche communities you can go to with active moderation (sometimes too much though) so it’s easy to at least get plenty of content without having to deal with that. Lemmy, not so much.
This case is very local to me so I have been following a lot of the discussion about it.
Way too many people are too quick to call for this guy’s death or saying that he deserved to get shot. And I just can’t disagree more. But I do also get why people are sympathetic to the shooter though, cause he very much is also a victim in all this as well.
This guy though absolutely deserves consequences for these stupid “pranks” and he absolutely should not be earning any kind of money from this. Seriously fuck that guy.
Yea, it is definitely a turn off. A lot of people on lemmy are not just passionate about what they believe, they are basically evangelical about it to the point that they seem like they need to not only convince everyone how right they are, but be assholes to anyone who disagrees. Whether it’s political, or about software, or whatever.
If I remember correctly they got bought out by an analytics company at some point. So you know, ads and data collection.
Or maybe they are and you just don’t like how they are voting.
I’m not saying that’s actually the case, but that point of view always seems to be absent from these types of discussions.
Sympathy? What a dumb take.
People still have wired headphones that still work perfectly fine. We used to be able to use them directly with our phones. We also had the option of using wireless too if we wanted. The option was removed, so now in order to keep using some of still perfectly fine electronics with our phones, it requires adapters. That’s annoying. What is the benefit to me as a consumer now that the jack is gone? Some marketing bullshit about weight or cost savings? I don’t buy it. Phones are larger than ever and more expensive than ever.
That is true, and you can get USBC dac cables for existing headphones that have the ability to swap cables.
But it’s still yet another thing you have to buy when your existing stuff already worked fine, and it still ties up the USBC port so unless you wirelessly charge you still need an adapter.
It’s just less convenient and as far as I am concerned removing the jack has offered no benefits to consumers.
Because they removed something that was convenient to try and force people to either spend more money on adapters or buy Bluetooth headphones.
And if you need to charge at the same time? That’s yet another adapter.
Soon there will be a new fee, the “listing fees fee”
I’m enjoying it so far. It doesn’t have the same user base or niche communities of reddit yet, so for now I’m just doing more general browsing. There just doesn’t seem to be enough of a diverse set of interest yet. So at first it was a ton of posts about sync, currently it’s a ton of posts about LTT. And it’s just full of memes. Definitely could use a wider range of topics and interests.
That said there are a couple of really obnoxious instances that are highly political and as much as I am trying to avoid that, the users of those instances seem to dominate any thread even remotely political. It’s quite annoying.
Or actually an error since it’s already back…
