Fair point, here's a lower quality version of this:

That's surprisingly not that far off, modern pockets evolved from bags tied to belts and the word comes from "poke", meaning pouch.

You haven't raised any concerns, what exactly did you expect people to address? Literally the only thing you did was whine about people having a different opinion and strongly suggesting your view is the only "sensible" one. There's nothing to discuss there.

You're right, I've never had to deal with any of those while driving. Can you imagine construction workers closing a road? Crazy, just never happens.

The town Oldham is manc (of or related to Manchester), old ham is mank (disgusting, more often "manky"). It's a very regional pun.

If you're living somewhere with hard water you're probably already used to the kind of issues you'll have, mineral deposits will build up over time and make it less efficient so you'll need to clean it regularly. I can't imagine vinegar would cause any damage but you should probably check the manual first, there could be maintenance instructions in there.

A saloon is where you get a drink, a salon is where you get a haircut.

I'm not sure about that, I think the real issue here is that there just aren't enough train lines

On an article about employees not getting paid someone commented with the excuse that they're moving "more in line with youtube" where creators don't get paid. Since you apparently disagree with the obvious meaning, how did you interpret that?

So you believe it's okay to not pay the people you hire because Google doesn't pay people who upload videos to Youtube?

Market share isn't relevant here, if a company hires you to do something they pay you for your work. If they don't recoup their costs from the work they hired you to do that's a bad business decision on their part and not a valid reason to not pay you. This is why developed countries have employee rights laws.

Do you consider that a valid reason to hire people and not pay them? To me it just sounds like an excuse for a company to abuse a lack of employee rights to get free labour.

 

Seems like federation has been broken for a little over a day. Comments don't seem to be propagating to or from other instances, checking All/new it suddenly switched from a constant stream of posts from other instances to exclusively posts by local users.

 

I signed in this morning and checked my profile to find I'm not actually here. Did anyone else accidentally stop existing overnight?

 

Not sure exactly how long this has been happening, but it's been bugging me for the last week at least.

Running Firefox 129.0 (64-bit) on Linux Mint, it seems like the login session is just constantly expiring. Every time I boot up my machine the first time I open programming.dev I have to sign in again. Closing all programming.dev tabs and navigating back to programming.dev without closing Firefox seems to always preserve the session and not require a new sign-in.

~~Closing all Firefox windows then opening Firefox and navigationg to programming.dev is a semi-reliable way to reproduce, about 75% of the time it requires a new sign-in even when I'd signed in less then a minute ago before closing the window.~~ Further testing shortly before submitting this post and those steps no longer reproduce the issue, I'm signed in even after closing the window. Maybe it's a recurring transient issue with login service?

Potentially relevant add-ons are UBlock Origin (0 blocks, shouldn't be an issue) and Privacy Badger (also 0 trackers blocked). I'm connected through VPN, but the issue seems to appear regardless of whether I stay on the same VPN server or switch servers. Firefox reports Content-Security-Policy issues but these seem unrelated and also appear when the session is successfully preserved.

Possibly helpful, occasionally when I open programming.dev I'll see it's signed out then automatically signs in after a second or so; this might have been a known Lemmy issue at some point with delayed authentication as a (now insufficient) solution. A good chance that's a dead-end, might be worth checking anyway.

Edit: It's worth noting that I'm also signed in via the android Jerboa app on another device and don't get signed out there. This could definitely be relevant if it turns out the Jerboa session somehow interferes with the Firefox session.
