This isn't just a horrifically-misleading headline, it's straight-up false.

The bill originally was written to directly establish personhood of a fetus, but Democrats got an amendment in that keeps the "pregnant mothers get to use the carpool lane" part, without the language that establishes personhood for a fetus. They literally called the Republicans' bluff on "this bill is about supporting mothers", by making that specific. This caused one Republican to retract his vote, because the amendment "guts the pro-life purpose of the bill".

Props to whoever this company is. This is one of the best bits of customer service I've seen in years.

This issue has resurfaced again.

I'm getting a 100% failure rate attempting to upload images today. Specifically, the POST https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image endpoint is returning a boilerplate 500 error.

It's actually been flaky for the past couple weeks, but up until today, just repeating the upload a few times gets it to work.

This also was an issue about 3 months ago, but resolved itself within a week or so.

Images are in the 100KB to 200KB range, well below the documented 500KB limit, and my account is about 1.5 years old, so as far as I'm aware, it's nothing on my end.

Here's to another lousy millenium.

A very large portion (maybe not quite a majority) of software developers are not very good at their jobs. Just good enough to get by.

And that is entirely okay! Applies to most jobs, honestly. But there is really NO appropriate way to express that to a coworker.

I've seen way too much "just keep trying random things without really knowing what you're doing, and hope you eventually stumble into something that works" attitude from coworkers.

Started getting an error "Posts failed loading, retry" whenever Jerboa attempts to load more posts from the "All" feed. This does not seem to happen when viewing specific community feeds. Refreshing the entire feed still works just fine, and produces new posts. I swapped to a couple other instances, such as lemmy.world, and did not get the same behavior. This just started yesterday, 2024-11-17.

I'd upload an image, but image uploads are also broken, have been for a few days.

UPDATE: Seems to be fixed, at the moment.

If only it were that easy to snap your fingers and magically transform your code base from C to Rust. Spoiler alert: It's not.

How utterly disingenuous. That's not what the CISA recommendation says, at all.

Been getting a lot of instability out of pictrs the last two days. Nothing in the week before that.

By instability, I'm talking 500 errors when uploading images (POST https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image). They seem pretty much random, I can get around the errors by just repeatedly trying to upload the same file until it works. As far as I can tell, there's nothing I'm doing wrong, trying to upload images too large produces a different, and much more reasonable, error. And there's no info at all in the response, except for the 500 code itself.

Let's assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked.

Remind me never to let this guy cook for me.

So, wait, Mocrosoft is finally giving us a way to fully-disable automatic Windows Updates?

Hexbear? (lemm.ee)
submitted 2 years ago by JakenVeina@lemm.ee to c/meta@lemm.ee

So, I thought Hexbear defederated from us a little while back, and we, in turn, defederated from them. Why do I keep seeing occasional (new) Hexbear posts in the "All" feed, lately? Did the defederation get reversed? Is it somehow a bug?

The site name's a play on "The Onion" so it's gotta be satire, right? I couldn't find an about page to confirm.

Honestly, I was wondering the same thing.

I like TypeScript less for its ability to categorize my grocery list and more for its ability to stop anyone from putting cyanide on it.

I.E. the list of my own posts in my profile is always empty, by definition, unless I go manually change the setting before viewing it, and then change it back when I'm done.

Would this be a Jerboa issue, or a general Lemmy issue?

Man won an emmy for ringing a bell. Respect on him for even ACCEPTING a role like that. What did the audition look like?

Archer was also asked if then-Vice President Biden regularly "checked in on his son, who's admitted he's had issues with drugs."

"Every day," Archer replied. But asked whether he had ever heard them discuss the "substance of Hunter Biden's business," he responded, "No."

He asked Archer, "Is it fair to say that Hunter Biden was selling the illusion of access to his father?"

Archer replied, "Yes."

Glad to have confirmation of the nothingburger, I guess.

The wall of fucking spez is finmy, but I find it FAR funnier to see how something that was one of reddit's most popular things ever just a few months ago is NOTICABLY less popular. All of the biggest communities that were represented on the drawing earlier this year are nowhere to be seen. All that's left this time around is just random disconnected drawings and massive flags. The soul is gone.

So yeah, stop fucking spamming the canvas and just let it be empty and soulless. It sends a bigger message.

Side note: apparently I can't change or get rid of the alt text inside the image?
