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.

  • Ukraine expands conscription, removes medical exemptions for HIV, hepatitis, mental disorders and more
  • No. Not as a deliberate tactic and not nearly to the same extent.

  • 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

  • Ukraine expands conscription, removes medical exemptions for HIV, hepatitis, mental disorders and more
  • Both Wagner and the regular military have been conscripting criminals straight out of prison and sending them right into the meat grinder with little training and/or equipment.

  • 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?

  • If You Still Use Reddit, Do You Like Reddit More Or Lemmy And Why?
  • I still go back to Reddit for a few niche communities that haven’t migrated to the Fediverse. I will never go back to randomly perusing it though. Lemmy has filled that function for me.

  • 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.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • It lacks a bit of the polish of Ivory, but it’s feature set is second to mine. Quote boosts and multi tag built right in are killer

  • Blue-blocking glasses might not do much of anything, says new review
  • I think it’s pretty well understood that the psychological stimulation of screens has a larger impact on sleep schedules than blue light.

  • Omega Seamaster Professional
  • Excellent watch! I went back and forth between this and the blue dial. Settled on the blue, and it has also become my most worn piece by far.

  • Omega Seamaster Professional
  • Just block and move on, folks.

  • ‘You’re Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a ’Droid?’ Why Teens Hate Android Phones
  • High school teacher here, and I see this a bit (although I have an iPhone)

  • I’m legitimately worried about us going into the season without a top CDM

    I know Mac Allister and Trent can both play in a midfield double pivot, but with Fab gone, we are sorely lacking a top midfielder with destroying and shielding qualities. And I’m not convinced even Lavia is the answer here. I think this is a key deficit when comparing us to other top six teams.
