Last Notes npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot RE: https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/116824076897344879 This needs to be a video game. #note1qw7…cs67 npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot Not exactly right: “Instead of immediately leaving with a completed order, the suit claims drivers waited ‘up to fifteen (15) minutes’ for additional deliveries, increasing the time between when a pizza is removed from the oven rack and when it leaves the building to be delivered. The lawsuit also alleges Dashers could see tip amounts and whether orders were cash payments, making some drivers less likely to accept certain deliveries.” The AI software did exactly what it was supposed to do. The delivery drivers were never meant to have that much access. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot Have you ever tried teaching a subject to students who HAD to take your class instead of electing to take it? npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot There’s a small stand of oak trees near where I walk my dog every day which is currently flooded from the recent heavy rains. I enjoy when that happens, because the local ducks always find it before I do and adopt it for themselves. #SilentSunday https://retro.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/116/352/954/464/903/844/original/1b408d97a069c87a.jpeg https://retro.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/116/352/955/153/509/803/original/013d81b9ea1a2ddb.jpeg npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot RE: https://med-mastodon.com/@bicmay/116200640492149003 “If only I’d listened to scientists, doctors and teachers instead of celebrities and talk show hosts!” said every generation ever. #note1rkm…pqw2 npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot Okay, this was awesome: “According to Rohan Nadkarni, a sports reporter for NBC News, a source confirmed the couple had previously invited #BadBunny to their wedding. The Grammy winner gave them a present no other could likely offer: the chance to wed at Levi’s Stadium during the #SuperBowl.” https://www.nxsmediawire.com/news/was-that-a-real-wedding-during-bad-bunnys-super-bowl-halftime-show/ npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot RE: https://med-mastodon.com/@bicmay/115658104580983111 added CW before sharing #note1h4a…l447 npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot Keep using appropriate hashtags. People who only want to follow those topics will follow the hashtags; people who only follow your account have the option to mute those hashtags entirely. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot That article is really light on details. Whenever I’ve heard of multi-major-website leaks like this, it always turns out to be collections of old data. I’ll wait until @npub1vc3…axsh chimes in. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot I’ll bet Lord Vetinary of Ankh-Morpork routinely gives his city’s more rebellious citizens, through admittedly circuitous means, the education they need to overthrow him. He knows such ambitions are inevitable, and it’s easier to counteract them if he knows exactly what they’re planning to do going in. #GNUTerryPratchett npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot I know they wanted to make the difference between 81% and 100% look much worse than it is to get their point across. A 4:5 pay ratio just doesn’t have the same punch as a 1:3 pay ratio. It’s a valid point, but still a deceptive illustration. https://www.statisticshowto.com/probability-and-statistics/descriptive-statistics/misleading-graphs/ npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot Good to see this broken down country-by-country for once. Kinda misleading to start the bar chart at 77%, though. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot “Tfrandmars”? npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot So because the author doesn’t get 100% of the profits, you think they should get 0% instead? npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot I see no good reason why a successful author at the age of 20 shouldn’t be able to keep earning royalties from that book at age 45, or age 95 for that matter. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot Probably not the specific book you want, but SOME books. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot As I understood it, Pixelfed uses your Mastodon account to create a new, local Pixelfed account; it’s just a convenience. You’re not really using one account to sign in to a different server the way Google and Facebook do. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot please explain what the hell the bearded guy is sitting at, then. No sensible human artist would think that’s how bars or stools work. https://cdn.masto.host/retropizza/media_attachments/files/113/754/974/970/084/152/original/e779477a9c357d78.jpeg npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot My last employer made a big show about handing out branded swag every year: Columbia coats, portable barbecue grills, and picnic bags with the company logo on it. My current employer just gives me an end-of-year cash bonus. Guess which one makes me happier. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot When we brought our Tabasco pepper plants inside this fall, it didn’t take long to see the aphids all over the leaves. We tried a (non-toxic) spray but they kept reappearing. Then one day I noticed a ladybug trapped in our house trying to get out a closed window, and it occurred to me there was an easier way to solve the pest problem. Two ladybugs are now relocated to our plants, and seem to be very happy munching up the aphids for us. #gardening https://cdn.masto.host/retropizza/media_attachments/files/113/618/834/433/983/009/original/422a2e544e943c2f.jpeg npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot try this: https://rss-parrot.net npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot That’s not a bug, it’s a feline creature. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot He-Man is just Shazam! in a Dungeons & Dragons setting, thank you and this way to the egress npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot Easier? Yes, the larger bags do that. MUCH easier? Eh, I wouldn’t go that far. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot #ShoheiOhtani is just maddeningly good at this game: “the superstar stole his 43rd base and hit his 43rd home run to become the first member of the 43-43 club.” https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-first-43-homer-43-stolen-base-season #baseball #MLB npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot I wish there was something like Patreon, but for wellness checks. Like, I don’t need your coffee money, but sometimes I’d like to hear a surprise voice on the phone saying, “Hey, this is your friend GlupShitto943 from Mastodon. How’s it going? Need to vent for a bit while I’m baking?” and then I don’t feel like I’m inconveniencing anyone when I do. npub1w8wacf9k8z7weefysurg5389u993ey7qsa7wyadmrmd4u8rk2y2q9cg2ah Mighty Orbot “The researchers found that [board] games help relieve social anxiety, which is experienced at higher rates in those who have #autism than in the general population. There's a rigid structure to proceedings, with less need to make small talk.” https://www.sciencealert.com/strange-link-between-board-games-and-autism-may-finally-be-explained @npub10v4…s27h
