Nonsense article. They claim Americans "work harder" because they have longer hours, no regulation, and no legal requirement for time off. In other words, they're closer to slaves.
This is true for all public holidays in the UK, there's a (usually) fixed number of public holidays but the dates are flexible.
They're also included in the minimum 28 days paid time off too, meaning if you're a full time worker and have to work on a bank holiday your employer is legally required to offer an extra day off somewhere else instead, either a fixed date or added to your holiday allowance. Conversely, the "extra" day off you get when a monarch keels over may be subtracted from your holiday allowance for the year. This is also why my employer is allowed to follow English bank holidays despite having next to no presence in England; the number is fixed but the dates are not.
Trans men and castrated men exist, I don't think it's the balls.
This makes intuitive sense to me just by looking at the two extremes, assuming a persistent and consistent everlasting rainstorm.
If you're moving at infinite speed the raindrops are effectively held in place so they don't fall on you; you only get wet from the drops you walk into on your way to your destination. Since the space between you and the destination is the same regardless of your speed you'll always get at least this wet.
If you've moving at 0 speed you never reach your destination so you're in the rain for ever and get infinitely wet.
I'm not sure what the argument for moving slower to stay drier is.
Do you eat butter straight? When you cook with butter you can add salt as needed, it's much harder to remove salt that's already there.
Men do cry. Quit the toxic bullshit.
Just right click a link, it's the option directly under copy link.
The T being added in is what? Maybe fifteen years old?
This didn't sound right to me, I'm sure I heard LGBT more than 15 years ago, so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia LGBT was first used around 1988 but OED says 1992, other sources say it became widespread in either the 90s or 00s (varies by source). So 15 is a lower bound for widespread usage but I don't think we can get much more specific than "15 to 35 years ago".
If you're pressing a button and want to cancel you can pretty much universally just move off the button before releasing the press and it won't trigger the action. Works 99% of the time with a mouse, almost as often with a touch interface. Some custom-coded buttons will action on start press (not great imo) and some buttons do some other action on a long press, but if you're holding it and nothing else has happened just dragging off is safe enough.
It doesn't read that way to me, but either way my point still stands. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing something you like, and calling that "wasting adulthood" is incredibly fucked up.
The last line is literally telling people they are terrible for enjoying themselves. There is no excuse for that.
Jesus Christ, this is toxic as fuck. You are not a bad person for enjoying life. You are not a bad person for being happy or seeking happiness. Excessive consumerism isn't great but you are still not a bad person for owning things. You are definitely not a bad person for trying to improve your life or the life of people around you.
I have no idea why they decided to attack renewable energy, it's undeniably better than the fossil fuel systems it's to replace. They say they're against alternative energy immediately after complaining that a third of the world has no electricity. This doesn't even make sense! They don't want you to make electricity available to people, they just want you to feel bad about it.
Inequality sucks, but you are still allowed to enjoy things.
What does make you a bad person is actively seeking to make other people's lives worse. For instance, making a comic with the sole intention of shitting on people just living their lives.
I signed in this morning and checked my profile to find I'm not actually here. Did anyone else accidentally stop existing overnight?
Not sure exactly how long this has been happening, but it's been bugging me for the last week at least.
Running Firefox 129.0 (64-bit) on Linux Mint, it seems like the login session is just constantly expiring. Every time I boot up my machine the first time I open programming.dev I have to sign in again. Closing all programming.dev tabs and navigating back to programming.dev without closing Firefox seems to always preserve the session and not require a new sign-in.
~~Closing all Firefox windows then opening Firefox and navigationg to programming.dev is a semi-reliable way to reproduce, about 75% of the time it requires a new sign-in even when I'd signed in less then a minute ago before closing the window.~~ Further testing shortly before submitting this post and those steps no longer reproduce the issue, I'm signed in even after closing the window. Maybe it's a recurring transient issue with login service?
Potentially relevant add-ons are UBlock Origin (0 blocks, shouldn't be an issue) and Privacy Badger (also 0 trackers blocked). I'm connected through VPN, but the issue seems to appear regardless of whether I stay on the same VPN server or switch servers. Firefox reports Content-Security-Policy issues but these seem unrelated and also appear when the session is successfully preserved.
Possibly helpful, occasionally when I open programming.dev I'll see it's signed out then automatically signs in after a second or so; this might have been a known Lemmy issue at some point with delayed authentication as a (now insufficient) solution. A good chance that's a dead-end, might be worth checking anyway.
Edit: It's worth noting that I'm also signed in via the android Jerboa app on another device and don't get signed out there. This could definitely be relevant if it turns out the Jerboa session somehow interferes with the Firefox session.
That seems iffy to me, that font only has upper case. I ran it through myself and got Caligula Regular, a free (afaik, check before use) font which seems to fit just as well.
