Technology@lemmy.world•Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVsEnglish
10·3 months agoIt’s been observed that the porn industry is often one of the first adapters of new media tech before they become commonplace, but I’m not sure some things need to be shown in that high a resolution.

politics @lemmy.world•US judge blocks Trump administration's use of troops in L.A.English
173·3 months agoI guess I would take it being a US judge as a given. Not that this admin listens to our judges anyhow, bit I expect one from another country would hold even less sway.

60·4 months agoSo it really has come to blatant “fuck you we’re not pretending to play by any rules of courtesy and custom anymore”, and yet it goes on largely unopposed.
Decorum is dead, by most reports I see the left outnumber the right by a sizable margin, stop playing nice.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What does it feel like to be an admin of a lemmy instance?English
21·4 months agoLike any other account you occasionally need to update software and settings for. Then again I’m guessing you meant someone running an instance with more than just themselves using it.

News@lemmy.world•Exclusive: The White House is looking to replace Pete Hegseth as defense secretaryEnglish
1·8 months agoI would generally agree, the one extra factor though is that Trump will never admit he was wrong for selecting him to begin with, so there would have to be some kind of betrayal that he cuts him off for. Last I heard he was still saying Pete is a great guy and top choice, so it’ll be interesting to see what he spins to blame it on someone other than himself.

News@lemmy.world•‘Full-blown meltdown’ at Pentagon after Hegseth’s second Signal chat revealedEnglish
2·8 months agoLet’s tack Donnie into that call for losing their job for not doing a damn thing to prevent this after the first time around. Incompetent management, why do we not have a no-confidence vote mechanism?

News@lemmy.world•‘Full-blown meltdown’ at Pentagon after Hegseth’s second Signal chat revealedEnglish
5·8 months agoThere where a couple women in charge of military divisions, head of the coast guard was one I think. I’m sure there have been plenty that he sees as DEI that got tossed without a lot of reporting.
Who was it that said the rule was ‘half your age + 7’, think it was from a movie or something?
It’s not too far of a gap to be an issue in general, but some places it might get legally twitchy. Here they have what they refer to as a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ law that if I recall has a sliding window of a couple years around 18 that allows for people on either side to date within some number of years.
Ethically I wouldn’t think much on it. You could well have been a single grade apart in school depending on when each birthday falls in the year, that’s hardly worth noting.
