I doubt anyone else is coming back to read this other than you if you have notifications on, but Snopes, based on photographic evidence of intact teleprompters and other evidence, is willing to rule the teleprompter glass shard theory as “False”.

They do note the recent statement from FBI director who said: “There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear”, so I guess it’s still not clear it was definitely a bullet but yeah, teleprompter glass seems to be out.

“Comma-la” unfortunately doesn’t help much for people without US accents lol (though of course people in the US are who the question and answer are most relevant to). On first reading – without the accent or something close to it – it implies “kom-uh-luh”, whereas with the accent it implies something more like “kah-muh-luh”, just based on how people pronounce “comma” differently.

Imo after reading it, it doesn’t seem that crazy or off-brand anymore (so long as it gets fleshed out to use something not as transactionally-inefficient as bitcoin).

Intel fumbled hard with some of their recent NICs including the I225-V,[1][2] which took them multiple hardware revisions in addition to software updates to fix.

AMD also had to be dragged kicking and screaming to support earlier motherboard buyers to upgrade to Ryzen 5000 chips,[3] and basically lied to buyers about support for sTRX4, requiring an upgrade from the earlier TR4 to support third-gen Threadripper but at least committing to “long-term” longevity in return.[4][5] They then turned around and released no new CPUs for the chipset, leaving people stranded on it despite the earlier promises.[6]

I know it’s appealing to blindly trust one company’s products (or specific lineup of products) because it simplifies buying decisions, but no company or person is infallible (and companies in particular are generally going to profit-max even at your expense). Blindly trusting one unfortunately does not reliably lead to good outcomes for end-users.

Hm. It’s obviously a more modern design, and I guess the increased focus on categories makes it easier to read news relevant to said category. The redundancy of some sections (e.g. 2x Sport sections with basically the same content) is a bit frustrating since it feels like wasted space - as though the content was forced into the layout, rather than the layout properly supporting the content (though sometimes compromise is inevitable, so eh).

Not wild about how links to other stuff are put before the articles are actually finished. Feels like an attack on my attention span lol.

I do miss a couple of things in the old design, which I doubt will be making a comeback:

• I liked each feed (main feed on left and center, secondary feed on the right) being a single column. I think it makes it much easier to skim through rather than darting both across and down on two columns. Having (essentially) three columns total also feels a bit like I’m being yelled at for attention.
• The varying “priority” of posts was something I appreciated. The new layout seems to have a 2-tier system, but the old one had something like four (?).

As a contrast, comparing this to SBS’ news page (on desktop) and they have a 2x2 for the big stories at the top, but then multiple single-columns for each category, with a clear visual anchor using the heading + image combo keeping each category visually distinct. I find that much easier to quickly skim through to find news that interests me. In this new design I feel like I’m spending a lot more time just moving between things I want to look at, rather than actually looking at them. I’d guess partly this is a side effect of the probably-more-mobile-friendly design, which is a bummer for me because I read on a PC far more often than on a phone ):

Notice & Apology📌 A flaw was found in the credits section of “UNCHAINED”, so the song has temporarily been privated while we make adjustments.

We’ll keep you updated on the situation once we get things resolved.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Maybe one day we’ll regain the long-lost technology of “showing YouTube thumbnails to lemmy users” (unless that’s just my end fucking up literally every single YouTube thumbnail for the past week).

This is more thoughtful than funny, so I guess it’s not really meta ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
