Re: on by default

IMHO, the problem isn’t that it’s on by default, it’s the fine tuning of the feature. The velocity and pattern needed to trigger it + the lack of a reasonable max scale.

MacOS has had this on by default for a decade, but it feels more intentional when it appears. Meanwhile, I litterally still see KDE threads from people trying to troubleshoot “bugs” about their cursor size.

The KDE cursor needs about 15 min of a motion designer sitting next to the engineer that coded this.

Been in Mac OS since El Capitan (10.11.0) in 2015

I feel like all of your knowledge about “middle management” is derived from The Office.

Instead of reasonable pay, you’re offered a title and persistent lies about career growth. And it feels pretty shitty when you’re confronted with the fact that you’ve invested a bunch of energy in something that won’t pay off.

I want Amazon fulfillment center workers to be paid a living wage, but calling some of those jobs “skilled” is stretch.

Real talk - lemmy’s mod tools blow, and the only way to combat this shit is if more people volunteer to help keep an eye on the report inbox.

So if you see a community that is struggling to address reports in a timely way, they’ll likely appreciate anyone that offers to help mod.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I thought you could only upvote / downvote posts. Comments were just a thread, and whoever commented first was at the top.

Hence why a lot of our early shitposting was just commenting “first” as soon as an interesting post when live.

I should’ve clarified.

It had post voting, but no comment voting.

My migration was primarily driven by threading, voting, and ads.

1. forums (community topics) >
2. slashdot (community topics + threads) >
3. digg / reddit (community topics + threads + comment voting) >
4. Lemmy (community topics + threads + comment voting - ads)

Obama was right. Once people lived with the ACA, they wouldn’t want to go back. The GOP knows that now, so now they’re going to pretend that they fixed it.

And that’s a symptom of media and social media echo chambers.

Our policy was that no one with a marijuana conviction for mere possession could do any (jail time) at all,” said Paul Henderson, who led narcotics prosecutions for several years under Harris. Defendants arrested for the lowest-level possession would typically be referred to drug treatment programs instead of being charged, and weightier charges for marijuana sales would routinely be pleaded down to less serious ones, he said.
