“Drivers will retaliate against you if you do not cover the part of their wage we refuse to pay them.”

There, fixed that for you, DoorDash.

Using AI to flag footage for review by a person seems like a good time-saving practice. I would bet that without some kind of automation like this, a lot of footage would just go unreviewed. This is far better than waiting for someone to lodge a complaint first, since you could conceivably identify problem behaviors and fix them before someone gets hurt.

The use of AI-based solutions to examine body-cam footage, however, is getting pushback from police unions pressuring the departments not to make the findings public to save potentially problematic officers.

According to this, the unions are against this because they want to shield bad-behaving officers. That tells me the AI review is working!

Holy hyperbole, batman! Threaten to overwhelm the internet!

Someone's hungry for clicks today, eh, The Guardian?

AI-generated CSAM is illegal under the Protection of Children Act 1978, which criminalises the taking, distribution and possession of an “indecent photograph or pseudo photograph” of a child.

Aaaand there you go. This is nothing new. There have been laws on the books for decades to help deal with this exact problem. Someone just slapped "AI" on the story to gin up worry.

Work is less valuable to us because it has literally become less valuable. We get much less in terms of real purchasing power.

You want me to care more about my job? Make it more valuable to me.

The embedded video of Zander Moricz is so good! Click the link and go watch it. If the first line doesn't sell you, nothing will:

"Bridget, our first interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from The Nationalist while I was a Sarasota County School student."

Hell of a way to open a comment!

Porkbun is sort of the darling of the self hosting community. I settled on them after doing a huge comparison of prices and features of all the different registrars available to me. Porkbun was by far the best.

"I suspect they'll rule in favor of prohibitions which is a mistake," said one vulnerable House Republican.

There’s such an easy solution to this problem. Just join the Democrats and vote to legalize abortion. You are a lawmaker, after all.

If a company requires you to re-apply for the job you already have, you lost your job long before you ever recorded yourself with HireVue.

The most obvious result is a government shutdown when the continuing resolution runs out, which will make a lot of people really mad (even those far-right zealots who fantasize about dismantling the US Government).

There are a lot of federal employees out there who would go without payment. Compared to federal contractors, though, they're the lucky ones. Federal employees will eventually get back pay when the government reopens. If you're a contractor, though, you will probably just lose your job eventually. There are a lot of federal employees and contractors in the US.

And here's a fun one: The IRS would continue to collect taxes, but refunds would be delayed.

It’s about time someone pointed this out. Look at all the things phones got rid of in their UI:

• Clustering of icons on a desktop
• Application windowing
• Preferences located inside an application

(It also gives up a lot of context-based right-clicking, but I personally consider the right-click a bad UI design choice.)

Some things, like folders, are only barely implemented, with a host of features that we’ve had for decades removed. Ever tried to sort a phone group by creation date?

I’m writing this on an iPad, which I would love to use as my daily driver, but because it runs iPad OS, there are so many productivity and organizational features missing relative to Mac OS that I do most important things on the laptop.

This article reads like some CEO association paid a tabloid journalist to write propaganda about how wonderful on-site work is. Any longer and the article would seem almost … desperate.

I can't believe they published this article without including a copy of Computer Shopper in the image!

His research was published eight days before the insurrection? This man is clearly a time traveler from a dystopian future who was sent back in time to stop Donald Trump.

I give them three months before the new society collapses due to arguments over age of consent.

I went to my local Apple Store yesterday morning and saw one person leaving with an Apple Vision Pro and maybe a few people inside trying it out. It wasn’t crowded at all. It seemed like the store was pretty overcrowded with employees, though.

On the bright side, I was able to get in and out with my purchase really fast!

It took me almost a year to get in for a routine colonoscopy. While I was waiting, the doctors I was scheduled to see left my insurance plan. I then had to find another provider and wait months longer.

I used homebridge for a long time, but found maintaining it to be a bit of a chore. Home Assistant was easier to maintain and configure, thanks to its web-based interface. And it has a bridge to homekit that achieves basically everything that homebridge did. You may want to investigate it!

I find his argument compelling and genuine. Comedians do "lie" on a regular basis to create comedy. You don't have to look very far to find other examples of this. This is why the line "--this is true!" is often heard during a late night monologue, because the comedians embellish and invent so often that when something sounds like an embellishment but isn't, it's even funnier for them to point out that their writers didn't make it up.

Well, the flip side of that argument comes with people who are in dire circumstances and want to try a drug for the potential benefits, but can’t because it hasn’t been approved yet. I think it’s perfectly fine to welcome the good news along with the bad. Science works with transparency.

please don't say it ... please don't say it ... please don't say it ...

God dammit!

I don't know what I expected, actually.

Of course they will exist. China will own them all.

However it should be said that a 25mph road should really be designed as a 25mph road, with suitable traffic calming measures. Far too many low speed limit roads are big and wide open, practically encouraging people to speed.

Sorry, but this is nonsensical. The wide road did not make that cop drive 75 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone. That officer was responsible for his own actions, and would have found a way to drive at an unsafe speed regardless of how the road was designed.

I will never unsee this.

I was reading elsewhere that some companies who want to transition an H1-B worker to a permanent worker are required to post the position first. They never intend to hire anyone other than the experienced H1-B worker, so the ad stays up for a period of time until they can pretend that the H1-B worker is the only qualified candidate. I don’t know how true this is, but it sure sounds plausible.

I did the same thing as you, at the same time, and had similar experiences. (Except I played MUDs more than I spent time on Usenet. Still, I made friends for life.)

The social media experience today isn't anything like the experience on those old BBSes. I was just remarking to someone yesterday that Facebook's process of tracking which ads stay on your screen -- even if they're not clicked -- has finally defeated my policy of never clicking on anything in Facebook. I watched it slowly adapt to show me things that got me to stop and look, and now my feed is a steady stream of little dopamine hits, and very little social interaction.

I don't know that curfews will make any difference, but clearly the social media landscape of today is way, way worse than what we were exposed to, and it needs to be regulated.

Not Lemmy, though! So far it's the closest thing I've seen to the old BBSes in a long time.

In the 80s, I think, someone else marketed a bra exactly like this. I don't remember it catching on.

I also find the data to be oddly presented, since the data lumps all people between ages 18 to 30 together.

I think that’s connected to the study linked in the article where the “emerging adulthood” category is defined.

First things first: Synology as a beginner NAS is perfect! It’s what I recommend to everyone that is getting started out. So good move there.

I think you should get a four-bay NAS. You don’t have to put four drives in it; you can put two drives in it and have an upgrade path for later. Plus the drives are far easier to install and remove. The processor will also be better in a four-bay NAS, which will give you more options if you want to play around with a docker container or run a VM.

To answer your questions:

1. If the NAS you choose has a USB port on it, you will be able to connect things like external hard drives, thumb drives, etc. NASes with USB3 connectors support USB 3 drives. Just be sure to use a file system that is not proprietary. So NTFS is out, but exFat is fine.
2. I have connected to volumes on the NAS and have connected the NAS to other volumes without issues. It will work fine.
3. I had two NASes sitting right next to my head in my office at ear level — probably the worst case scenario for noise. I barely noticed them. I could hear them crunching away during backups, but it wasn’t bad. I never heard a fan running — just the internal drives making their read/write noises.
4. The drives fail before the NASes do. Synology had some issues with bult-in power supplies going bad after a few years. Their modern NASes now have plugs with a power brick on the cable, which I assume was in response to this issue. It’s a lot less expensive to replace a power cable than a whole NAS! But beyond that one issue (which affected one NAS of mine), the NASes I’ve been using have lasted for … oh, 8 years now.
5. There are many choices for syncing data with your synology NAS. They provide Synology Drive, which gives you a local drop-box-like folder syncing option. They support rsync, and they provide HyperBackup, which is a block-level backup utility. You can choose a Synology shared drive as the destination for a Time Machine backup on a Mac. (I assume you can do this with Windows’ backup solution, but I’ve never personally used it.)

You’re overlooking some things here. Just a few years prior, Clarence Thomas had just undergone an intensive and public trial for sexual harassment of Anita HIll. Meanwhile, a sea change of public opinion against sexual harassment in the workplace was underway in practically every corner of the country. At that time, if you were a federal employee, you could get in serious trouble for abusing your position of power like that. But of course, the President isn’t a federal employee.

This was not just a minor lie and a clandestine blowjob. It was someone in a position of power taking advantage of a subordinate, in the workplace, and doing irrevocable harm to that subordinate’s reputation in the process.

Finally, just because something isn’t a criminal offense doesn’t make it acceptable. Nor does the fact that the Republicans seized on this for political gain make it less wrong.

In an environment of painful (almost insulting) food price increases everywhere, Wendy’s decides to remove price predictability from the equation, ensuring that I never know what I’m going to pay, except that I can guarantee I’m going to be gouged when I most want to eat.

Yeah, I don’t care what they sell. I don’t want to be treated like that.

Totally unintentional. I'll edit it.

Yep, just as I suspected. It's the Wall Street Journal.

The WSJ editors hate work from home. They hate it with a passion. Given the choice, I'm sure they would bump a story about the start of a new world war if they could publish something that says that working from home gives you ass cancer.

This came from a gag Jon Stewart used to do on the Daily Show. It started with the Larry Craig scandal. The Daily Show was good at showing hypocrisy in Republican candidates who were anti-LGBT. In the late 2000s, it seemed like there was a story of an anti-gay Republican being outed as gay every month.

Stewart compared Graham to a melodramatic southern belle and got huge laughs. It stuck. I wan to point out that Jon Stewart never explicitly said Lindsay Graham was gay. But he was an expert at hinting it, and paired with the clips of Lindsay Graham, it was hilarious.

And they are being unusually speedy. The article even says as much.

Overall, the timetable is fast compared to the regular calendar for high court briefing, oral arguments, and eventual resolution, which typically plays out over many months or close to a year. (Other cases accepted this month for review will not be heard until next fall, with decisions likely in 2025.)

Seeing people recommend nginx proxy manager, I’ve tried to set this up but never managed to get the certificates to work from letsencrypt (“internal server error” when trying to get one). When I finally got it working a while ago (I think I imported a cert), any proxy I tried to setup just sent me to the Synology login page.

I think WebStation is causing this. I just investigated my Synology NAS and discovered that the default web portal is redirecting ports 80 and 443 to the synology login portal (which lives in ports 5000 and 5001 depending on whether you use SSL or not.)

That’s amazing! I’ve been living in fear of my super expensive OLED TV getting burn-in. I turn it off during software updates, etc. Now maybe I can de-stress a little.

Is there a reason to avoid Nvidia cards on Proxmox still?

Why not install proxmox on the bare metal of the NUC, then add VMs and containers inside of Proxmox for your reverse proxy, blocky, and other services? Maybe this is what you are doing and I just don't understand.

I have Proxmox installed on bare metal in my primary home lab server. I also run a Synology NAS on the side. I'm not running Synology Drive for any clients, but I've set it up for others before, and it works great in this configuration.

I fully admit I’m not the most talented linux person, but you say that you created an smb share on Unraid, but you mounted it as if it were an NFS share. Is that just a typo, or could that be the root of your problem? I could imagine Synology Drive not letting you interact with files in the mounted folder if the permissions and ownership weren’t set up right.

Thank you for going to the extra trouble to explain this! This is why I love communities like this.
