Same here they were mobile hot spots for rural areas. So kids could attend virtual lessons.

Really like the pic! Can this place be visited and explored?

I never viewed a midlife crisis as actually breaking free or feeling like your half way so you need to alter. I always viewed it as a, now I finally have money and am in a financially stable spot where I can risk money to splurge on something I normally wouldn’t, point in life. Sadly, that seems gone. You’d be lucky if you have a stable career where you feel like you won’t get fired tomorrow at 30. If you have anything left your desperately saving it for retirement.

Ahhh. I see. So it was some what alarmist. I shall update my comment.

Cancelled my sub when I found that out. Switched to busuu, comparing the two, busuu and Duolingo seem to have different teachings and I noticed that my ability to understand things (comments) in duo is slowly becoming paywalled on the pro(paid) version… Wtf??! Quality of lessons is also seemingly going down.

Then I heard they are handing user data to ICE (maybe this is a rumor) but it just pushed me away even quicker.

I don’t have proof of this so I take this back but am leaving the text so as to give context to the comments below.

Cool, I look forward to hearing those conversations. Post the audio, shouldn’t be a problem.

Thank you!

I’m not posting this because I think it’s a distraction or any kind of psyops campaign. But it’s a little unnerving to think that these people are placing stuff in food and that really doesn’t seem to cause any sort of concern.

Wish there would be a task force, or anyone, looking into these weird cult notes. I found two so far, one tacked to a tree under a leaf on a walking trail and one in my box of granola bars. Literally, In… The… Box. For reference: https://www.axios.com/local/philadelphia/2024/01/23/creepy-notes-crop-up-pennsylvania

How about “where’s the whole video, where’s the whole video”. I like where this was going, but would love to see where it went. I can’t find it. Anyone have a link to the entire thing?

Why not? Seems fitting an ex NASA engineer show Elon, the man currently trying to dismantle NASA, just what kind of intelligent people exist in that agency.

I fixed that twice!

Curious how so many people decided to ditch them and switch (vocally on Lemmy at least) and now they back pedal/clarify/whatever. Turns out we have power and using it works. Sorry not sorry. Edited: pedal instead of petal.

From the article:

Ogles’ resolution is tailored specifically to permit Trump to serve a third term, but not to allow three out of the four living former presidents to serve third terms.

It’s a Trump only privilege which, given the track record, could have been assumed, unfortunately.

Personally, I’m grateful this tool exists. I have used Adobe Lightroom 5 the one you could get on a disc, like, when owning things was actually possible. Adobe has systematically pissed me off over the last decade. Lightroom was great, non-destructive edits, import into year with sub directory sorted by months. Quick copy and apply edits. Lr5 was great.
I’m just a hobbyist photographer, I’m not doing pro level anything or charging anyone anything. I would love to use the student edition. I refuse to though, because it requires Adobe to upload them online, use them for ai training, it’s not private. I take photos on a camera to NOT have them on the Internet. To be honest I’d be upset if a photographer used any ai or cloud storage for my personal photos. Sadly, it’s so baked in a photographer might not even know. Not everyone cares or is tech savvy(which is totally fine) it’s not their fault the company is shady.

That was a first issue, second they won’t support the version I have any longer, ok that’s how software/hardware works, but it’s a subscription model now and that sucks. I upload 6 months of photos at a clip, I didn’t need a monthly sub. Because of that I’m tied to an old laptop that’s on death’s door to edit my pics.

Darktable provides everything I need that Lightroom did, sans a small bit of import magic to organize photos, and it’s a little tricky to use but after about an hour, I understand how to get things going. Anything has a learning curve. With darktable I know my pics are mine, they are on my laptop, I won’t be paying a subscription. That small amount of frustration is worth it to tell Adobe to piss off.

I was reminded that they are currently at odds with Musk (and SpaceX) because of land they bought to interfere with the border wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.

Brain worms will do that.

Well, cards against humanity could get involv…

How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn’t vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol

I can see why there would be confusion. here in the States, it’s regarded that stripping is the last resort to being homeless.

The sign reads left to right, top to bottom, and it tells the tale of chicken (personafied) doing whatever it takes to make ends meet.

Chicken loses their job, then goes flat broke, then finally works as a stripper for dirt cheap.
