Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. in c/technology@lemmy.world

What law are they breaking? Not trying to defend Google or anything, just curious what law is blatantly being broken here because I don't know of one

I think they still can but they have less fine control over which ad placements they disable? I'm not totally sure, but that's what this link seems to imply https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6332943?hl=en

Those YouTubers have the option to disable ads on their channel if that is truly all the revenue they need, you don't need to make that decision for them

Lol you tile your desktop as much as your kitchen floor? I only tend to need to have three things up at most so Mac optimizes my screen space the best since I have 2 monitors, but I'm not on on the multitasking level of many people here it seems

*I think mac os started supporting tiling of non full screen windows as well according to some other comments so maybe kitchen style would work now

I feel like the full screen tiling on mac makes up for this. Having used both windows and Mac a lot I think I slightly prefer Mac's way of splitting full screen windows but I see the appeal of both

Bodycam shows Seattle cop joking about "limited value" of 26 year old woman killed by police cruiser and also joking about writing it off as a cheque worth $11000. in c/world@lemmy.world

I like also like "All cops are bad" for when you want to get the message across without cursing or disparaging the parentless

That's not even comparable to the amount that's happening in the US, we've definitely got a bigger systemic problem here. With that being said Im not a fan of these kinds of memes anyways, it's not that theyre incorrect, I just don't think kids getting murdered en masse is funny

My open letter to the tech industry on sexism, HR, and Linus Tech Tips (sh.itjust.works)
 

The Linus Tech Tips abuse allegations are yet another reminder that something absolutely needs to be done about the rampant sexism in the tech industry. If you haven't heard them yet you can read about them here, but be warned, there is some potentially very triggering abuse and self harm detailed: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

Madison's story is not unique - we have heard stories like hers time and time again. As a tech professional it makes me sick to share an industry with these horrible people, and to know that little is being done to reign them in.

So, what can be done about this? I don't have all of the answers, but one thing that comes to mind is that HR departments desperately need actual unbiased oversight, perhaps even from a governing body outside of the company. It has become common knowledge that HR’s primary purpose is to protect the company, and this prevents employees from speaking out and driving internal change even in terrible situations like Madison Reeve and countless others have faced. The way things are run clearly needs to fundamentally change

Let me know in the comments if you have any ideas on how we as a tech community might be able to address these issues, I am truly at a loss. All I want is for tech to be a safe space for everybody to find their passion and success, and it saddens me that we clearly aren't there yet.
