I like to be home by 11, so there’s room for a little chill time before I actually have to go to sleep!

Getting home and immediately going to bed is the worst!

Mandatory disclosure when images are misleading?

How about just ban images that are misleading ?

The “problem” they are trying to solve is “how do we keep people on the platform clicking and watching more videos for longer?” and the “solution” to that doesn’t necessarily involve showing you what you actually wanted to find.

1km 🤡

Also it’s an autumn day and the office heating is just a little hot and stuffy

They are the ones who fucking started it, not us.

Seems like you’re in the UK too.

Yeah, this was never a thing until Amazon made it one.

Thankfully, the law is very unambiguous about this, and if a parcel is left outside and then stolen before it gets into your hands (unless you specifically asked for it to be left outside) then you are entitled to a refund or replacement.

Amazon play the numbers game and figure that replacing x number of packages costs less than needing their drivers to bring all the undeliverable packages back and try again a different day.

It’s not a cool precedent though and I very much dislike it being normalised.

Same in the UK, would have been an automatic driving ban already with that many occasions of speeding - no difference between a camera and a cop here, they both count exactly the same.

[The proposal] defines a deepfake as a very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice.

The government said the new rules would not affect parodies and satire, which would still be permitted.

Seems like they’ve already thought about this, and the law will cover only digital clones, not human lookalikes - plus carve-outs for fair use satire.

I have two blåhaj - one in my bed for snuggles, who is well loved and well worn, and one hanging out on the back of my sofa for “Sunday Best” 😆

🤮

Exactly :)

I’ve worked as a dev for the national health service in the UK, and all new government services promote a high standard of accessibility. We did a lot of in-person testing with users in labs, in rooms with the one-way mirrors like in a police interview and everything! Users with physical needs, and also users who are simply older, or have low tech literacy.

“Accessibility” covers a huge spectrum This can be the obvious things you might imagine like alt text on images, screen reader compatibility and dyslexic-friendly fonts, but it’s so much more.

We’re talking about things like ensuring good text contrast on all elements, making everything desktop and mobile responsive, using clear and simple language for instructions, and making the steps and user journey straightforward and easy to navigate.

A lot of accessibility concerns don’t only make the service better for people with specific needs, they make it overall better for everyone.

I’m glad I’m one of those people who can’t seem to percieve any difference above 60Hz

Having low standards is pretty convenient

My rule is I can’t buy a game unless I am going to play it that same day.

Even in cases where the rule causes me to miss a sale and end up buying the game later, I’m sure it still saves me money, and - more importantly - saves a tremendous amount of regret and stress caused by buying games that would just sit my library unplayed.

The beginning of this headline had me mislead.

I read ‘creepiest publisher’, and with the state of the industry these days I immediately thought it was going to be some exposé piece on a toxic culture of workplace misogyny, and sexual harassment.

Glad it’s actually a cool studio doing interesting things!

I don’t think we want that. It sets some weird precedent that instances need to be lemmy-dot-something, which is both untrue and restrictive on server hosts as a barrier for entry if that becomes the universal convention.

Nice job :)

Serious question: what is it about bottom-up that is useful or desirable, compared to ones that only come down from the top?

Well, that part at least I don’t think is necessary. It’s a parody of a dating app, and it seems from searching screenshots the real app doesn’t have units either - just the number.

Which is just fine, because the number next to someone’s name being their age is clear from context.

I suspect the person you responded to understood the context, but was cheekily calling out the “technically incorrect” usage of ±

The ± symbol requires a tolerance value to create a defined maximum and minimum range, e.g 300±20 (so Soran could be anything between 280 and 320)

it doesn’t mean “approximately”

But I understand this is just an inconsequential funny picture, so whatever right.
