I think that's reasonable when when calculating an average.

It also assumes that men were the only other participants. ;)

Wow. I hope she recovers fully and quickly.

583 men in six hours.

That's about 37 seconds each.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I just subscribed. Perhaps I'll start posting things to that one instead of the .world room.

Thank you for the source link conveniently placed at the top. <3

“While AT&T and Verizon only provide notice of surveillance of phone lines paid for by the Senate, T-Mobile has informed my staff that it will provide notice for Senators’ campaign or personal lines flagged as such by the [Senate Sergeant at Arms],” Wyden wrote. “Three other carriers — Google Fi Wireless, U.S. Mobile, and Cape — have policies of notifying all customers about government demands whenever they are allowed to do so. The latter two companies adopted these policies after outreach from my office.”

as long as it’s related to technology.

In that case, I suggest you define what fields of technology you mean, because practically everything is related to one technology or another.

you are better served by subscribing to a topic under the technology umbrella(Cyber security, hardware, software,… etc) , rather than the general technology community.

I do subscribe to such communities, but no, I am not better served by them. There are relatively few active ones, and most are about computer hardware or software. That leaves out a vast array of other kinds of technology, each of which might not have enough daily news to support an active room of its own, but in aggregate would make for a genuinely interesting community distinct from the flood of tech-stock drama that dominates so many others.

In any case, thanks for clarifying. I now know that your new community does not appeal to me.

After being on !technology@lemmy.world for a while, I find it overwhelmingly tiresome due to so many posts that are not about technologies, but instead about business drama, the stock market, and politics. The most frequent posters there seem to think "technology" means "tech stocks and the executives behind them". Any article about any organization that happens to use a technology (especially computers) is accepted, and since that means all businesses, the result is practically no filtering at all. The community is flooded with noise that clearly fits better elsewhere.

If I wanted my feed filled with business drama, I would subscribe to a business or stocks community.

People gently complain about this from time to time, often garnering lots of upvotes, but the moderator(s) do nothing about it. A few examples:

https://lemmy.world/post/22514253

https://lemmy.world/post/24137271

https://lemm.ee/post/17164656

The posted rules remain vague, and the problem persists. The moderators seem to view quantity as more important than quality.

I wish there were a community where the bar was high enough to filter out most of that stuff, instead favoring news and discussions of technologies and their effects on the world. If one were to gain traction, I would gladly abandon the lemmy.world one and all the noise that it produces.

Will !technology@programming.dev be it?

But they didn't, and considering the contours, bevels, and the additional costs that glass would bring, they almost certainly won't.

I think my favorite part of Cyberpunk 2077's open world was that it was full of activity. The encounter variety might have been a little disappointing, but I was impressed with how they made the city feel dense and populated. It was much more convincing than the miniature towns full of locked doors and fake windows that are passed off as "cities" in so many other games.

Just what the world needs: More unnecessary plastic.

Maybe not directly, but in practice, it can lead to the same result. When pharmacies feel that their vaccine supply is insufficient to meet demand, they refuse to vaccinate people who are not in health authority-recommended groups. This happens more often than you might think.

Searching for a community by its ID seems to be broken on feddit.org. To reproduce:

No results are found.

On other Lemmy instances, I have seen this type of search work.

 

Looks like it's standard TOTP, so we can use our authenticator of choice.
