California@lemmy.world•Why electricity prices in California are so high
31·6 days agoThis is so useless even for me, I mean really how hard would it have been to just search “royalty free woman face shocked stock photo”‽
What incentive would they have to develop a callback system
Well they don’t develop it, it’s a feature of whatever PBX/VoIP system they went with.
and use it, but delay the callbacks?
It wouldn’t be the first nonsensical business decision that businesses latch onto for reasons. You could ask 10 different call center employees and get 10 different reasons why. I’ve personally heard a few different reasons from inept managers, call center staff being paid min wage so they don’t care to people on the call back list get placed in a lower priority queue
The estimated hold time, IME it’s not the most accurate thing in the world, but probably won’t be off by whole hours
I base it off the estimated hold time it tells you, IME it’s not the most accurate thing in the world, but probably won’t be off by whole hours
You’re lucky then, every time I’ve tried I either don’t get a call back or it’s hours later when just waiting would have only been 20 minutes

42·17 days agoLol you shouldn’t believe random posts, I haven’t been banned from any instances except .ml, for obvious reasons
While the environment is a valid argument against, “politically” is very different. Even accounting for trumpy and the right-wing nut jobs, this is still the safest period in humanities history to have kids

33·17 days agoOh, you’re referring to the crossposting from .ml comms because of their authoritarian ideology (see below)
That doesn’t apply here though, nearly all of the linux content I post is sourced and posted independently
Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

34·17 days agoWell ig I did post a Phoronix article on it a few days ago, but in any case these aren’t “copypasta” these are reputable outlets publishing this, I just copy the first couple paragraphs of the article for posting.
So, if you have a problem with how these reputable linux news outlets are publishing it, you’ll have to take it up with them. I’m not personally writing these articles lmfao

Fairphone@hardware.watch•Can I just buy the parts from ifixit and build it myself?English
11·2 months agoI checked the bands, looks like it’s fully compatible with Tmobiles bands, so it should also work for other carriers. But, tmobile is generally the “friendliest” with imported brands anyways so I’d recommend you consider switching to them if not on them already. ATT and Verizon have both been known to occasionally throw a fit if you try to use an imported brand.
So you should be gtg overall, a tip though just make sure that screws are included when you order the frame assembly, I’ve made that mistake before lmao 😅

41·2 months agoYou can technically do this, I’ve done it before with other devices like a 3DS. But the real problem with doing this for a smartphone is gonna be cellular bands global phones are shipped with bands that will work globally and phones that are intended for certain regions generally only have support for those bands for that region
You’d have to dig up the docs for fairphones cell bands on their EU model to make sure that the carrier that you have uses those bands as sometimes you get lucky and sometimes…not
I know what you mean, but high compression/poor quality file artifacting does the same kinds of “blending”
But I don’t believe it to be AI because it’s way too consistent and small details that actually make sense. Like towards the end where the doggo is giving the treat side glances
Now faked with a dog trained specifically to do it, rather than something the dog just decided to do is on the table for sure, but hey AtLeastItsNot.Ai lmao
