Detroit’s abandoned Silverdome stadium
  • Wow. I remember playing old NFL video games and this being the Lions’ stadium. Weird to see it looking like this.

  • Part of China's economic miracle was a mirage. Reality check is next
  • This is a Lemmy.world post, I don’t think they see this

  • Avelon for Lemmy 1.0.5 is now out! Includes posting, a better GIF player in the feed, and even better performance
  • Excellent! Avelon is quickly moving to the top of my stable of Lemmy apps. Thank you for the hard work

  • Ukraine expands conscription, removes medical exemptions for HIV, hepatitis, mental disorders and more
  • If they could read they’d be super shocked by who the Russians are conscripting.

  • X wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history
  • Is there any information on how he plans to obtain biometric data? My assumption was that, with iPhones for example, all biometric data stays on device encrypted via the Secure Enclave. Is that even something X could access?

  • The end of the Googleverse
  • The whole internet used to be like this and it was lovely.

  • Wisconsin Supreme Court chief justice accuses liberal majority of staging a 'coup'
  • Historically this is nothing new. Looking at SCOTUS alone, the Marshall court, the Taney court, and the Warren court are all examples of moments where the courts have moved jurisprudence in substantial ways based on ideology. You want justices that, for the most part, will exercise restraint and seek to interpret laws in good faith. I agree with that. But I think it’s important to know that courts have been ideological since the very beginning.

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
  • Yeah. I had to start pinching myself when I began to look at a $400 pen as a “bargain”. Still love my fountain pens, though.

  • How does school management work on a personal Chromebook?
  • Teacher here and my school is 1-to-1 with Chromebooks. I doubt there’d be any problems from trying to log in with the new school’s Google account on the old Chromebook. Being able to use it at home would most likely not be a problem.

    Using it at school instead of the new school provided device would depend on the school’s policies. We allow it in most cases, but it might not hurt to check with your school’s media specialist.

    One problem this would create, if your child were at my school, would be with testing software. All of our standardized tests are administered with software that is pushed onto the students’ devices by our IT, and can only be installed on the school’s own managed Chromebooks. So I would again double check with your media specialist, and perhaps be prepared to bring the new Chromebook on standardized testing days (hopefully there aren’t many).

    Hope that helps!

  • Conservatives on Wisconsin's Supreme Court are having an epic meltdown
  • This is all true. I think it’s also important to note that the court’s shift is a result of strong state-level organizing by the WI Democratic Party. Voter mood has shifted since the Tea Party years, yes, but our Democratic Party has also done really well in getting out the vote, particularly in college towns.

    What’s happening in Wisconsin is my rejoinder to apathetic or nihilistic voters. Organizing matters and voting matters. There is a real difference between the two main parties and tangible benefits happen when you elect Democrats.

  • Green Party candidate Cornel West owes more than half a million dollars in taxes and child support: Records
  • Thank you. I get so frustrated with people who say the two parties are the same. They are not, and all you have to do is compare the policy achievements of the Trump and Biden administrations. There are real consequences to choosing Dem over GOP.

  • Elon Musk vows to fund legal bill of X users who face employer discrimination due to ‘posting or liking something on this platform’
  • Yeah, came here to post this. Unless it’s made legally binding these statements mean fuck all.

  • I hadn’t even noticed that. Memmy has been quick to update, wouldn’t be surprised to see they addressed soon.
