Pour a decent bit of algae into the water supply (freshwater shouldn’t have algae, but enough will get past standard biocides used in cooling)

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•8 Democrats Help Pass GOP Bill Forcing Teachers To Out Transgender StudentsEnglish
1·6 days agoThere’s a pretty strong push from her primary opponent this year - he’s winning over local Republicans in conversation by focusing on medicare/Medicaid expansion.
Edit: have to be clear he isn’t winning any Maga votes, but iffy republicans that were MGPs “base” since they were already dissuade from voting red from how batshit Joe Kent was.
I mean, 3.6 million is a bit more money tbh.

Games@lemmy.world•Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th - Steam NewsEnglish
3·25 days agoYea for me the controller solves a lot of what I need from controllers and fits right at the price I don’t have to wait for, while the frame I buy when I am set for it since it’s the perfect upgrade for me for a long time. The machine is on my wishlist as a console idea if I ever want it. Each are wishlist, but have a very different priority.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of homeschooling?English
2·1 month agoSo the only people who have say over the life of a child is the parents. Children have no personal rights against domestic abuse including neglect. In this specific example, neglecting their development.
The nation has a responsibility to make sure that neglect by the parents does not mean abuse to the child. That’s why the ultimate solution for neglect is foster care. In the same sense, the state can encourage involvement by parents, but can’t rely on it. Orphans exist, and more directly, abusive or neglectful parents exist.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of homeschooling?English
2·1 month agoAnd how do you get parents to universally improve over time? You can’t drive the improvement without a top down incentive at bare minimum. If no child left behind failed, look at why and try again, don’t give up and say the nation will be illiterate outside of the ruling class.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft now offering chance to win $1 million or a car if you switch to EdgeEnglish
2·1 month agoI mean they’re exclusively writing tools for power users for eventual implementation to mainline as they develop and test simplification that doesn’t alienate the power user… So managers can’t really say they’re doing anything bad or dumb ever because it’s power user features then porting.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill JobsEnglish
17·2 months agoI even remember in econ101 my professor brought up the basic analysis, then brought up a really cool example of this where the minimum wage changed in one state but not another in two towns right on the border. It was the perfect econ experiment to prove how supply and demand would cause inflation.
The next 5 years saw no change despite a 2 dollar an hour increase on one side only - the two towns maintained equal pricing, and no increase to inflation or pricing compared to the typical rate.
My favorite part was that he managed to be excited about it properly, because it was and is cool science to him when usually economics is trying to analyze how changes happened with way too many variables.

Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptionsEnglish
1·2 months agoIn Wikipedias case, you just fail to make an edit/new post. So you can verify if Ai can make a usable post up to standard with people who can verify but not make, hopefully saving enough time and bulk to help that group learn to make properly, as well as leave the ones Ai will fuck up to people who can do it right.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is it that when the graphics driver freaks out in your browser when watching a video, the page always turns this specific shade of green?English
2·2 months agoI mean, kind of? There are system traces of what the squirrels ate that build up, causing weird issues with other software over time. It’s why restarting your computer fixes so many software errors. Part of the close process of the computer is cleaning up most of the squirrel poops.


I did a bit of a read, apparently the 2 most popular screen reading software sources (jaws and nvda) fully support the thorn character both isolated and in words correctly as of a 2024 review, but it was a major problem in 2022, prompting improvements in recognition.
Oddly, periods at the end of a post are currently considered a larger problem as depending on site syntax the reader has problems with if it should state the existence of a period or not. (something about if there is follow up or classifying it as isolated punctuation that holds unique meaning)
