Proposed lesson plans could improve student performance and help teachers, Texas education officials say. Not all district leaders and education advocates are convinced.
This is abhorrent. Fuck this Christian hellhole.
Some gun owners look for any reason to use their gun. Smh.
Send these idiots off to fight a war. They will have all the chances to use their gun. most will probably be better off used as sandbags
The state of SCOTUS is abhorrent. We truly are on the verge of a second Civil War. The terrorists have successfully infiltrated all levels of government. And they are not the terrorists featured on your local Fixed News affiliate. It’s your neighbors and often times rural areas.
Democrats won the battle (ie, reclaiming presidency) but have lost the war.
Too many assholes in this country think they are the American Sniper.
It was really close at UT. State police, city police, and national guard called in by spineless university president (Jay Hartzell).
Fuck Jay Hartzell. Hope he gets recalled. No golden parachute.
the reason this person has any relevancy (same with the other shit posters on that godforsaken platform), is because hate filled/controversial trash generates the most engagement.
Algos can’t tell the difference between “negative” or “positive” engagement. Only “post has been engaged 1M times, must serve post to more people in bucket/cluster 9. Also serve adult diaper ads, and “alpha juice” ads”
Imagine being so poor you can’t buy the physical media, rip it to your media server, and stream at anytime.
Lol, enjoy your shitty subpar streaming service that serves media at less than 4K while paying increasing monthly costs.
I also suspect there’s a dark pattern where the subscriber just forgets it is on autopay.
I want to hope that the person that posted this screenshot disabled auto renewal.
Yet the person continues to pay it every single year.
The only subscription that I pay for is subsidized by my cellular provider. Otherwise, my subscriptions would be $0 per month.
What organizations are supporting Hamas? I have yet to see anything of that sort.
I have been exploring self hosting my email.
Docker mail server for backend. Roundcube for web ui
Still keeping accounts at mainstream providers though as backup, especially for outgoing mail.
TikTok will just be owned by a different company. It will still exist.
won’t happen
Where do you think the FBI gets their domestic terrorist intel from 😂
I am just waiting for a malware developer or state actor to use this as a way to infect computers with 0-days.
This is a disaster. Why anybody would decide to use Windows for any serious workloads is unfathomable to me.
Office products are mostly cross-platform (outlook, word, excel).
There was a subset of Google contractors trying to unionize but while the group was campaigning at city hall. Google executives decided to not renew the contract and all of them were jobless.

I wouldn’t touch a TSLA product even if it was given to me.
My $1 bid is ready to submit to ByteDance once grandpa signs that bill.
This was sent to my email today at ~11 AM CST. Dudes just straight up 86’d the entire company.
They fucked over many vendors and of course the employees (no compensation for hours worked). Fuck these VC / PE backed companies.

I don’t care what they call it. Call it “dogsh1t” for all I care.
I just want high refresh rate, at least 4K support, 32”, and sub millisecond response times.
“The Matrix”, obviously.
Yet another reason to avoid Apple hardware.
I invested so much into this stupid ecosystem. Feels silly now after realizing how abusive this company is and the lengths it will go to keep you walled in.
Never protested my taxes before. Has anybody here done this in the past by your self? Or have you delegated to one of these companies that protests on your behalf?
Seems the catch is with these companies is that they charge a % of what you supposedly save. But also wondering if the process is “easy” enough that I can get my own appraisal, present that during hearing, and be done with it.
What an asshole. How the fuck did this person have a “valid” CDL license?
TX truly does get washed up talent from other states and countries — from doctors to CDL drivers.
Personal injury lawyers are foaming at the mouth right now. CDL drivers definitely supposed to be carrying commercial insurance. Company hiring this numbskull didn’t do any DD. That company or insurance carrier will be opening up the check book.
2 deaths — 1 adult, 1 child. 40+ children traumatized for life.
Kroger facility in Austin, TX is closing down on 5/25. Never knew we even had one here (no clue how they got my email though)

USDA says genetic sequencing revealed the mystery illness impacting Texas dairies is the same strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) that's been in the U.S. The virus is carried by wild waterfowl.
One of the Zot's most powerful concepts for identity management and remote access is being ported to work on ActivityPub. It could change the Fediverse.
When Lemmy was making waves last year when Reddit pulled an “enshittification” of the platform. One of the first things I noticed was how terrible the experience was when trying to navigate to other Lemmy instances.
Hopefully this will help bridge the gap when it becomes generally available.
President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign has launched an account on Donald Trump’s Truth Social, attempting to poke online fun at the Republican candidate he may well face again in next fall’s election.
What’s the over/under on time to ban for BidenHQ (https://truthsocial.com/@BidenHQ)
Also, that fucking site is asking for a phone number to register. Fuck that.
The Barton Springs Road bridge was first built in 1925 before it was later expanded in 1945.

I decided. Avoiding this bridge at all costs. I highly doubt the idiot drivers here will obey the traffic diversion. Maybe they will follow if the city puts up spikes, lol.
Vehicles getting larger. EVs are heavier than their ICE equivalents. The failure of this bridge is inevitable.
Walter Isaacson's new biography on Elon Musk also reveals that the CEO left his engineers who wanted to use LiDAR exasperated.

Found this interesting. Looks like it’s in 🇺🇸. Surprised it has not been towed.
Heard of stories of abandoned vehicles in the Middle East (Dubai?), but with super cars.
Police in Huntington beach say they’re searching for a hit-and-run driver who might be intentionally targeting people on bikes.
Just Alabama things, I guess. Fuck that state.
The Austin Fire Department is investigating large amounts of smoke seen in downtown Austin Monday evening.
Fire was nuts, bros. State, and local LEOs blocked off the entire area between 2nd St and 4th St. 2 firehouses responded. Whole squad showed up.
I am thinking it’s a grease fire in the vents. Restaurant probably never properly cleaned the vent hoods. If you ever walked by that place, the fumes from whatever they were burning were quite dank (made my eyes water).
Also rubbernecking dipshits worsened traffic and almost got hit by a dumbass driver while crossing the streets, smh.
👋 !cfb@lemmy.world — noticed activity here is low, especially while in season. Prior to my post today regarding UT vs Alabama game, last activity was ~6 days ago.
I would like to see this community flourish during the season like it does on the pretender “front page of the internet” site. I would be willing to invest time to automate creation of pre-, post-, and weekly discussion posts. But I don’t want to do that if the community is not active or is not wanted (ie, deemed as “spam”)
Lmk your thoughts/opinions/suggestions.
Alabama lost for the fifth time in its last 25 games. Texas had the better quarterback, the better team and made the big plays in the key moments.
Texas is back?
It's been awhile folks, but found another one! This time on a show called "Gut Job".

Starting at $61K, lol. Quite possibly the ugliest piece of shit I have seen in awhile.
