it’s worse than that given the electoral college setup. An outright majority doesn’t really matter.

Technology@lemmy.world•US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next weekEnglish
1·2 years agoWhere I was going was: effects can be different even if all choices and results are unethical. If one cares about the possible impacts of ones actions, consideration beyond “well it’s all unethical, so whatever” could be warranted.

Apple@lemmy.world•Hugh Grant eviscerates new iPad Pro ad for promoting the ‘destruction of the human experience’ | The Independent
201·2 years agoJust criticises? Not “slams”, “destroys”, or eviscerates? Weak. No rage click from me.
nose hair trimmer attachment works well around the ears I’ve found (but it’s loud!)
cold cuts? Have you seen the price of a bag of chips? Ridiculous. I don’t need to spend 5 bucks to hate myself later after I’ve eaten too many.
$30 to buy an old mechanical pencil on ebay you remember having in highschool? No problemo.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•The FAA found staff at Boeing's supplier using liquid Dawn soap as lubricant for a 737 Max door seal: NYT
321·2 years agoI get that this was written to be like, “dish soap OMG!” But there is nothing in here explaining why that might be wrong or dangerous. Why not a sentence like, “instead X lubricant should have been used because Y according to Boeing”? Underground water and sewer pipes that fit together and continuously withstand a larger pressure differential than the aircraft portals in planes use “pipe soap” to help fit the bell and spigot together. If it’s wrong, tell us why! I thought the bolts were found to be the reason it failed anyway. Even if “Boeing assembly instructions thought to be insufficient by workers” is the main message, that doesn’t grab the clicks though, huh? I’m expecting too much from a business insider article I guess. [Inebriated internet grumbling]

politics @lemmy.world•Florida’s ‘Stop WOKE Act’ commits a ‘First Amendment sin,’ appeals court says in ruling that blocks part of the bill
30·2 years ago“We disagree with the Court’s opinion that employers can require employees to be taught — as a condition of employment — that one race is morally superior to another race. The First Amendment protects no such thing, and the State of Florida should have every right to protect Floridians from racially hostile workplaces. We are reviewing all options on appeal going forward.”
I have an extremely low opinion of intelligence of the “anti-woke” warriors but, like, do people really think that’s what’s happening? They’re honestly thinking DEI stuff is teaching that one race is “morally superior” to another? That’s just a wild fucking line to throw in there.

Technology@lemmy.world•The HDMI Forum rejected AMD's open source HDMI 2.1 implementationEnglish
2·2 years agoIs that not a compressed stream though? Genuinely asking. A 4k blu ray rip and a 4k stream from a service (or whatever it saves for offline viewing on an app) a pretty different. I think things are getting conflated with capturing live 4k television and capturing a 4k blu ray as it plays, which both might be using an HDMI cable.
