Best: ecstatcy. Worst: stupor.
Seriously though, you mean U.S. State?
Before the ICE problems, I’d have said Minnesota was probably best, but I suspect it’s probably still the best state now after having a chance to return to some degree of normalcy. Kind folk.
Worst: Mississippi is the state that most consistently scores very low on just about every axis you’d want to measure a state by. It has a reputation for being a terrible place to live.
My experience is that the performance of videos depends a lot on how much of the screen the video takes up. More so than on the quality setting (480p, 720p, 1080p). Usually when I want to watch a video, I limit it to about 1/4 of the area of my 1920x1080 screen. But YouTube is pretty watchable. I don’t think even when you select something like 720p@60fps or whatever that it ever actually gets up to 60fps, and sometimes the parts that don’t compress as well drop a few frames (strobing in particular does that), but it’s really not bad if you’re ok with not doing full-screen.
Also, it depends where the video is hosted. If the JS is really light on the page, it’s way more performant. If the JS is really heavy, I sometimes have to wait tens of seconds for it to render the first frame.
But also, this Raspberry Pi is mostly my Lemmy box. Not my main box.
My experience is that it has more to do with what’s loaded in the tab than how many tabs are open. One tab can cause everything to run at like 1fps if it’s bloated. (“Graphic design is my passion” kind of pages with tons of animations, usually.) But 100 Lemmy-UI tabs is no problem at all.
Only 29.
Well, 30 now that I opened this thread in a new tab.
But yeah. That’s on the low side compared to usual for me.
(Firefox on a Raspberry Pi 4.)
That shell script looks like it’ll run really slow.
If you have to ask the question, just take the secret to your grave. You should only risk the blowback on yourself if you know how properly to mitigate the risk of “doing the right thing”.
And maybe it’s fine. Like, if you found a vulnerability in a piece of FOSS software, most projects have an official path for disclosure of such things. Just look on their website and follow the instructions there. But if anyone asked me this question specifically about a vulnerability in some FOSS software, a) I’d say they don’t have the knowledge to make an informed decision whether it’s safe for them to do so and b) I’d question whether they’d actually found what they thought they’d found.
The right image also needs to be screaming at the top of their lungs at 6:30am.
The only “creepy” thing about it is that viewing who upvoted/downvoted what isn’t a feature that’s just built into Lemmy (and Lemmy-UI). I can’t imagine why the authors of Lemmy would want to have a class system with some (instance admins) being able to see vote information and others (everyone else) being unable.
You say “we all know our votes here are public record”, but that’s not really true. Even Lemvotes doesn’t work for at least half of the posts I’ve tried it on. It’d be more accurate to say “we all know our votes here aren’t secret”.
It’s like a koan. I keep expecting “and then he was enlightened” at the end.
You’ve figured it out. Take as much advantage of your employer as you can. Try not to make life harder on your coworkers. People matter. Heartless corporations don’t. Eek out as much fulfillment as you can within that context. There’s nothing better. At least not within capitalism.
I just happen to currently be reading On The Plurality Of Worlds by David Lewis.
I mean, shit’s pretty weird, though.
Hell yeah.
(I’m playing the GC version, though, but yeah.)
Twist: the fly is worthy.
I’ve got a work bestie like that. Helps keep us sane.
Apparently Hy-vee is employee-owned
From what I’ve heard from former employees of employee-owned grocery stores, it sounds like “employee-owned” can often be an “on paper”, kind of technicality that bolsters their image marketing-wise/PR-wise while not actually being true in practice.
A former employee of the Price Cutter location I was talking about, when I asked about Price Cutter being worker-owned (it says so in a sign on the door as you walk in), told me that the union there was completely captured/controlled by the upper management. Like, the vice president had full veto power over what the union decided. (And why TF would a truly “employee-owned” company have/need a union. So you can collectively bargain with yourselves, the collective owners?) In practice, the union was kindof just to give employees some degree of illusion that they weren’t just wage slaves. And maybe to make creating a real union seem less feasible to employees. And maybe there are meetings that employees can attend and theoretically vote on things or whatever, but in practice, the attendees who vote don’t actually have any sway over the direction of the company or conditions for workers or anything.
Not to say I’m not filing a complaint. It probably can’t hurt to do so. But I don’t think “it’s employee-owned” is actually necessarily any reason to think results might be better than if it didn’t say “employee-owned” on the website, unfortunately.
old stuff needs to be pulled to the front
Yeah, the stuff I’m talking about is always the front unit on the shelf. I can’t always be arsed to search behind the front one for fresher units, but when I do, usually the entire stock on the shelf of that particular product is expired all the way to the back of the shelf. So I don’t really think that’s the issue in my case. I might be more vigilant about searching behind the frontmost unit in the future, though.
every major retail store in the country is cutting staff to save money
Yeah, this store clearly has huge turnover as well. Probably not uncommon to see in grocery stores in general, but I think it’s worse here than other stores. The checkout clerks, for instance, often times have to ask for help for things like “how do I ring up the gallon drinking water refills” or whatever. (Which, of course, isn’t the clerk’s fault at all.)
Jesus. It’d be funny if it weren’t so tragic for the poor damned souls who can’t escape.
