Just to be clear, I mean it's literally managed at the Group Policy level (in Windows server environments at least) and no amount of asking will suddenly give your user account permissions to be able to save files of any kind.
You generally literally cannot download it without going through IT to get them to approve of and give your account access first.
At large organizations you're generally not allowed to download much of anything without it passing through IT security and management first. If it's a no, it will probably stay a no.
I wasn't aware because I don't follow Tesla but that's really useful info because you're damn right.
That's Nostradumbass to you.
Yes, and as someone with a pricey cancer treatment at the moment which I can only afford due to Medicaid, there is a very good chance I will be one of them.
America will suffer an economic depression and become more isolationist which will allow the depression to continue unabated. Millions die of starvation and exposure.
A lot of regular Tesla owners genuinely didn't know a ton about the company and until the last few years Musk wasn't quite so openly a Nazi.
I have zero sympathy for Cybertruck owners but I am going to wait to reserve judgement on average Tesla owners until I have proof it was bought recently and that they are okay with Musk as he is.
The reality is some people can't just up and trade in the car as easily as they might want to, even if they hate Musk and all he stands for now.
I'd say those SMART attributes don't look great...
Fell back into the Octopus Project discography after stumbling across this semi-recent (3 years ago) video of them doing an old favourite of mine, I Saw the Bright Shinies on the Moog Etherwave Theremin.
They were probably the best live show I ever saw. They were moving around the stage and exchanging instruments among one another during songs in a hypnotic dance. It was really impressive and I'll never forget it. Also, Yvonne is probably the best and most accurate theremin player I have ever seen.
I saw them with Man or Astro-Man? and since both bands had theremins, the show ended with Dueling Theremins and the fella from MoAM set his on fire during the peak.
I'm not sure what I'm understanding that's markedly different from what we have here in terms of feeds, nor am I sure letting users curate and create their own personal echo chambers is a real "solution."
If I understand it correctly, only some of the ways of viewing Lemmy content actually have an algorithm behind them (Hot view, for instance) whereas things like Top are... literally just the top posts/comments based on aggregated upvotes/downvotes. New just shows things chronologically from newest to oldest, Old is the opposite of that. Controversial is potentially an algorithm but I'm not deeply sure about that, because it seems like it could be calculated as simply as Top is.
Manipulating things over here is more like making spam accounts and flooding with upvotes/downvotes, which is a problem but hopefully one that gets addressed as development continues.
I also thought Mastodon was just a chronological feed as well. Not a lot to manipulate there?
I'll be real, I don't get the hype for Bluesky when it's venture capital funded (by Blockchain Capital no less) and eventually those VCs are going to want a return on investment. At some point, something will have to be done to produce a profit and won't that be when the screws start being turned on the users?
