My first thought was that it's an AI generated photo of LeVar Burton. The comment didn't seem like "who is that", more of a "why is this AI?"

Unless something has changed, migrating your account is more like copy/pasting config on a new account. Your post history etc however does not come with it. If that's something that matters to you then picking the "right" server matters a little bit.

For example lemmy.world has defederated from a bunch of instances (https://lemmy.world/instances) Creating your account there means you're missing some of the full experience of Lemmy, for better or for worse. A smaller instance may federate more content, but may run slower or worst case stop working entirely if the admin abandons it.

I just used a handful of different servers over the course of a few weeks to see which was my ideal server.

"The Credit Genie app is free to use and includes interest-free and fee-free advances to help you make ends meet until your next payday. There is a recurring fee of $4.99 per month or $3.49 biweekly for maintaining your bank account connection with our app."

The effective rate will vary, but given the flat fee the finance charge could be huge. Like if you pay biweekly ($7/month) but only get like $10 loaned

Brake pads are also moving away from copper. Little improvements over time

Because nothing is ever good enough

I told a former schoolmate that he was acting like a snowflake and he lost his freaking mind. I expected it to bug him but holy crap.

I don't work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it's not like remote meeting will go away

Yeah this post hit me different than was probably the intent. I've been expecting to get laid off for the past 6 months ago, initially it was fear, eventually it was desire. Didn't happen though and I've since found a new job, but I would have welcomed it if it did.

I'm pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you're right, it's absolutely not screenshots. It's a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it's possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That's not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

Hey vsauce, Michael here

But what is squauce

Between my current job (unlimited PTO) and my last (30 days PTO) I've had 30+ for the last 10 years.

Last year I used 35+ days.

A lot of it goes to smaller things. 1 or 2 days here and there. Few days camping, turn a 3 day weekend in to a 4 day, etc... It really can change how you use your time.
