War was the one thing the US was good at, now they have nothing of value left for the rest of the world.

Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.

US is good at pumping infinite money into the military. But they definitely aren’t “good” at war.

Didn’t even need remote version control. All it required was essential files version controlled in the local folder.

This really just shows how inefficient human communication is.

This could have been done with a single email:

Hi,

I’m looking to book a wedding ceremony and reception at your hotel on Saturday 16th March.

Ideally the ceremony will be outside but may need alternative indoor accommodation in case of inclement weather.

The ceremony will have 75 guests, two of whom require wheelchair accessible spaces.

150 guests will attend the dinner, ideally seated on 15 tables of 10. Can you let us know your catering options?

300 guests will attend the even reception. Can you accommodate this?

Thanks,

To me that suggests your view is in the minority.

There was a discussion about “ghost communities” a few days ago:

https://feddit.uk/post/24499702

People are quick to create communities but they sit unused, attract few posts and fewer subscribers. Often the mods move on so even if new posts were to appear they’d be unmoderated.

The simple reason for that is there isn’t enough demand. Lemmy is still small it’s too early to be spinning out ever more narrowed niche communities. If you think content belongs elsewhere then report it to the mods and let them decide. If they see a surge in unwanted Q&A topics then they can amend posting guidelines to direct people elsewhere or to a Q&A thread or something.

Creating a new community for one question is insane.

If there’s a surge in questions not relevant to 90% of readers then sure but Lemmy isn’t there yet

Pretty sure the staff are just giving guests the figurines and then management are surprised that guests thought they were gifts.

They’re completely irrelevant to the average person.

If you want absolute perfection then sure, stick with Chrome but implying Firefox on GrapheneOS is insecure is misinformation.

Pretty sure it’s 3rd April

Is there an easy way of seeing the preceding emails in a threaded format?

I read some posted yesterday that were related but it’s damn confusing whether the conversation has been active in between?

You didn’t screw up, you beautifully proved why the CLI is never a simple solution.

This answer is probably the best here. It’s concise and answers your questions in a reasonably unbiased way.

A lot of the other answers are dripping with personal bias and a few verging on conspiracy.

Then why do you want to see it broken up? Monopoly seemed a pretty reasonable assumption.

Steam is hardly a monopoly.

There are plenty of successfully competing stores. The only real thing Steam has going for it is network effect that every gamer has an account therefore it’s decent for socialising, but even that is being challenged by Discord and a multitude of others.

GamePass is probably the closest we’re seeing to a potential monopoly. The purchase of activation should never have been permitted.

There’s a lot more detail in this BBC story but it still seems likely there’s an injunction against publishing any specifics of the lies MI5 told.

My interpretation is that “Beth” was assaulted on multi occasions by a right wing MI5 informant. She reported this to the police and the suspect was arrested. However while in custody the suspect insisted he was an MI5 operative and MI5 was contacted, MI5 then intervened and had the informant was released.

Most likely MI5 then lied about intervening (the false evidence) but the BBC have clear evidence that MI5 took charge of evidence. Thus MI5’s lies were exposed.

The police did not take a full statement from Beth or obtain the video of her being attacked. The CPS quickly discontinued the prosecution.

The police force concerned and the CPS insist the case was discontinued due to lack of evidence.

Police said they did not seize any items as part of their own investigation, and were “unable to advise when or why these were taken”.

This was untrue, as the police force concerned was responsible for calling in counter terror officers.

The police claim that property had been returned to X was also untrue - the material had been given to MI5.

Bevy is damn impressive. I can understand why it’s not suitable for large projects yet but for anyone tinkering or projects willing to adapt to a rapidly iterate ecosystem is well worth a look.

I did.

I also read a fair chunk of the article you linked and it didn’t change my view.

I disagree that employers fear litigation. Is there something else I missed?

It is very much true

From the link you provided:

This may come as a surprise to some: it is only after two years of continued service that employees have the right to request written reasons for their dismissal.

Employers don’t need to provide a reason for your dismissal.

There are some exceptions but they’re very specific and unlikely to relevant. If an employer wants rid of you they can do so at their whim.

Even if you think you have a case, good luck finding a solicitor who will take on your case. They simply won’t be interested because it’s not easy to win without the rights you get after 2 years employment.

I live in the UK where it’s practically impossible to get fired.

In the UK you only get employment protections after working at a company for two years. Up until then you can be fired without reason
