Hell, in the inter-war period, mainstream America was even generally pretty comfortable with…uh…if not actual fascism, at least things that looked and sounded a lot like fascism.

Because they’ve also got the lie-a-beetus.

Oh my god, there’s always a relevant xkcd.

Great job!

Oh yeah that’s a good one too.

The old “you embarrassed the company, report to the principal’s office”.

My apologies!

I think the first part in my head every time.

I’m only drafting for career not hobby at this point, so it’s all industry standard software.

One of these days, when I have a house, I might get into 3D printing, but not for the foreseeable future.

For 3D stuff, I’m good with Inventor, but it certainly has it’s quirks.

The Autodesk forums are 40% this, 20% “just learn to program, spend a few years getting good at it, then write yourself a custom script to do what you are struggling with”, 20% “you are wrong for wanting that in the first place” or “you are wrong for having this issue”, 15% “this has been brought up once at some point in the past two decades, try searching”, 4% “OMG yes I have this issue too!”…

…and 1% split between actual helpful answers, and confirmation that it’s a known issue.

This being Lemmy, surely instead of Sydney Sweeney, we’ll have Margot Robbie.

That’s distance, not time.

I gotta say, Google Maps has been getting squirrelly on me lately tho.

Most recently, I was out fishing and wanted to get directions to the other side of the lake and a parking area over there.

The road directions had me driving a little ways up the shore, then down a fucking footpath to the water, then swimming across the fucking lake, then getting on another road and driving to the parking area.

I remember back in junior high we had to make a fake company and product and advertise it in print form for some class.

This was the height of iMac and iPod so my group basically made Apple but for corn instead and it was awesome how many corn related product names and references we were able to work in . Even had a cool minimalist ear of corn logo and our iCorn computer even had an ear of corn shaped tower lol

I don’t disagree, but that bigger picture sentiment isn’t keeping the lights on at Joe’s house.

For the record: I am completely against the notion that we should stifle technical progress to preserve jobs and the status quo, but I just also feel it’s something that we owe it to ourselves as a society to manage that issue alongside the progress so nobody gets left behind.

That’s how we ended up with the solidly blue rust belt turning very purple over the past 50 years, and a state of coal miners like West Virginia becoming blood red.

Sure, but I’d imagine that Joe the Bricklayer may have a slightly different reaction when you tell him the exciting news that he doesn’t have to lay bricks anymore because a robot can do it.

I switch from Google to PA with the first email like this that I got from Google.

I tried maybe 4 alternatives and ended up sticking with PA. I don’t really like it…it’s most used icons are small and hard to reach, navigation is very unintuitive to me…but basically it sucked less than the other options.

In that case, isn’t it sad that bots are producing better content than the Lemmy community?

Really?

I see so much more non-US content here than I ever did on Reddit.

Depressing content, and comments full of political extremism where even if you agree in principle, if you don’t take it to quite the extent the rest of them take it, they wanna crucify you.

Like…as much as my political opinions tend toward progressive, my time here has really gotten me to come around on why a lot of people elsewhere on the political spectrum can’t stand progressives.

I’m not seeing that option anywhere.

The last time I looked into it, there was no way to disable it. I’ll check again though.

Edit: I managed to find it in the third settings menu I found for the app, so thanks for getting me to check again!

Can we please have an option to completely disable the hovering mini pop-up Maps when switching apps?
