It’s those DAMN VIDYA GAMES

Lol yea yea and chemtrails are actually a secret government project for mind control

Beginning:“Oh a fun Doctor episode!”

End:“…I need to hug my kids”

Because I like to take advantage of subsidized pricing and I have yet to encounter a brand that’s been able to break through my pfSense box’s adblocking coupled with bimonthly reviews of traffic logs from suspect devices

The Lemmy Anti-AI crowd, they despise anyone using genAI for any reason because apparently we all have shit tons of money to just throw around to artists to have every random idea commissioned and now that we have genAI we don’t.

This is just propaganda from Satan’s PR team, they just don’t want it widely known that he accepts good soup as an alternative payment!

Now this is the kinda AC I can get behind, not that BS kernel level shit

Woah now, some tech is just pure science fiction

If you have the money to go in on a lawsuit solo, you have the money to retain a local lawyer and probably travel costs.

Otherwise, you’ll have to get a class action going which in that case, a local lawyer is still retained but the cost is spread out and for class actions only 1 person of the party needs to be present (if at all)

Some scammers are getting into sophisticated targeting, it’s not outside the realm of possibility they’ve sim-swapped Dad’s phone and intentionally worded it like that knowing you’d call that number and they’d be able to intercept it. Hell these days if they are able to get just seconds of your dad’s voice they’d even be able to have a convincing AI voice on the other end

You’d have fallen for it lmao

you can still have to work on snow days.

When wasn’t that true? Lmao

But some school districts did try to pull that bullshit including the one for my kids. Ours reversed course after many parents (including me) started loudly complaining about it lol

Wow reading through it certainly sounds like it’s the plaintiff law firm that’s being scummy, predatory and even funded by some VC company “Black Diamond”

I don’t quite see the point they’re making, I’m assuming by “massive arbitration lawsuit” they mean they’re being sued because of and to get rid of the arbitration clause?

I don’t see how it’s a win for them in either case tbh, maybe they’re trying to avoid having a precedent set is all that I can think of

“If you’re going to enter this line of work, be ready to face intense scrutiny,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). “If you’re not, then shame on you. Think it through.”

Any bets on when Mr. Tillis here gets busted for something himself? Lol

Have kids and tbh I’m actually kinda jealous of their car seats. They look so snug and comfy and are also the safest passenger in the vehicle with their nice 5 point harness lmao

what industry professionals seem to use most often.

Lol ok, if you want to change to that set of rules, I am an industry professional. Fairly deep into my IT career, and I will absolutely get on to any of my people if I see “Scuzzy” (Not that that particular one will ever come up again, fairly out of date lmao) or “Sequel” or any of that other bull

Irrelevant, acronyms and initialisms don’t depend on the underlying words they stand for beyond the first letter of each word. You can’t use the word underlying C or any of the other letters for grammatical justification or pronunciation.

Each letter must stand on its own and be governed by pronunciation rules independently of its underlying word, if it cannot form a sensible pronounceable word (Like FBI, CIA, SQL, SCSI) on its own it’s an initialism. If it can (Like NASA) then it’s an acronym.

Because it’s not, it’s just something from computing history that is no longer relevant

I’m the head of IT for my company and it’s S-Q-L and I’m a native speaker.

It’s not a grammatically correct pronunciation at all (which is why it seems like non-native English tends to not say “Sequel”) and even MySQL documentation specifically calls it out and says it’s S-Q-L
