Well, there is this time a few months ago where the Chinese government hacked AT&T and Verizon using the mandatory backdoors the US government left for wiretaps...

That's the reason leaving backdoors is generally a really, really bad idea, because you don't know who else can use them
The obsession with cast iron like it is some kind of magic ritual is honestly really weird. After you cook with it, wash it with water and dry it with some paper towels, that's it, no need to make it more complicated than it really is.
If things are sticking to your pan, use more oil in your pan; with enough oil, you can cook on a rock and make it nonstick.
Again, I bet it's Ryan Gosling who did this.
It depends on the job. For most office jobs, I don't think it matters that much if you show up a bit late to go to the bank or if you're stuck in traffic, especially now that holding online meetings are easy.
But for a job where being late means holding up the work of hundreds of people, say, being an actor on set, then showing up ahead of time is very important.
Contrary to popular belief, I do have to do work for a living and can't spend all day on social media.
Not acting skill, that's for sure.
That looks like a badly AI generated image of Steven Seagal that Steven Seagal would use as his profile picture on social media as a bit.
If he isn't so full of himself.
The Fairphone 4, as nominated by @be_gt@lemmy.world!
As promised, you will be receiving 1 Lemmy Silver, and of course, bragging rights.
But, we also have an honorary Golden Lemmy award, which goes to...
Every Android device that is not the Samsung Galaxy S22+, as nominated by @OpenStars@discuss.online!
You get 1 Lemmy Silver (and bragging rights) too!
That's it for this year's Golden Lemmy, folks!
(Nomination thread is here for future references.)
What this shows us is that more people are joining lemmy, but even more people are either leaving or going into lurker mode, as Lemmy only counts people who have commented or posted in that time period as active users, whereas most social media counts any activity while logged in as active. You have to realize that people who use reddit as Google search results don't usually interact with the content there and most won't even make an account.
On the upside, with fewer people, it's easy to get noticed here just by contributing good content since you don't really get drowned out here because of the democratic upvote based sorting instead of black box personalized recommendation algorithms. So with relatively low amount of effort, you can make sure your content is being seen instead of relying on analytics and metrics.
The last thing to in mind that Lemmy is only one aspect of ActivityPub, and Mastodon's growth is currently the highest right now because of the ecosystem created by the whale fall of Twitter, which indirectly grows Lemmy as Mastodon users can post directly to federated Lemmy communities.
You mean women are people who knows how to navigate to a website, sign up for accounts, and express our own points of view on different topics? How could this be possible?
It's made by Ben Zhao? You mean the "anti AI plagerism" UChicago professor who illegally stole GPLv3 code from an open source program called DiffusionBee for his proprietary Glaze software (reddit link), and when pressed, only released the code for the "front end" while still being in violation of GPL?
The Glaze tool that promised to be invisible to the naked eyes, but contained obvious AI generated artifacts? The same Glaze that reddit defeated in like a day after release?
Don't take anything this grifter says seriously, I'm surprised he hasn't been suspended for academic integrity violation yet.
I mean, just because you're on TV and get paid a lot of money doesn't mean the rules don't apply to you.
