There may be $10,000 to every mistake one makes when applying for Social Security, from my understanding of the situation.

Anyone's else having the same problem? Oh, and it's downloading updates to apps and THEN RUNNING THEM IMMEDIATELY. Like, not something I opened.

I'm on Lemmy and I get a message saying: "app has finished downloading and will open in a moment" and then whatever app just updated opens uncalled for!

WTF with this update!

Also very interested to try an ergo.

Current roster includes Keychron Q6 Max, Keychron Q13 max Alice , Keychron Q3 pro SE, RK gaming S98, 8bitDo C64 Edition with matching numpad, Monsgeek M2, and that’s all I can think of right now. I think I’m missing one.

I took the title from this very good Bluesky thread by a journo. More links in the thread.

Wow—15 international students at the University of Central Florida have had their visas revoked as a result of the school's signed partnership with ICE. One was detained. Literally handed over to immigration cops by their own university. Despicable.

[...]

UCF is the largest university in FL by enrollment, and one of the largest in the country.

This is the only public comment they've made on the ICE partnership: "We are a public university that receives state and federal funding and are therefore obligated to comply with all state and federal laws."

Under UCF's agreement with ICE: "UCF police will select officers to go through training...Once officers complete training, it gives them certain federal immigration enforcement powers they normally would not have, including making arrests on immigration violations."

Campus cops deputized by ICE.

Lots of open-source (and I think all or mostly European) alternatives to big US tech.

After initial tests created a series of large holes in the wall of the lab, the higher-power Scanning Tunneling Tennis Ball Microscope project was quickly shut down.

The model was a delight to paint and quite witty. I clearly still need a lot more work painting live people versus from a screen. Like he's legs are way too small and I didn't notice it until the next day.

Other examples:

Hello Lemmings! For the past year or so, I've been working on a solo project, and I'm kinda close to being finished with it! It's a punk rock album, made with mostly open-source tools (the only non-FOSS stuff is a couple of plugins that didn't have good open-source alternatives)!

I've seen other folks promote their games here, but so far I haven't seen any music done this way, and I was wondering if it's maybe not allowed? Some sort of Lemmy faux pas? If it is, indeed, allowed, then what communities would be amenable to maybe a twice weekly post? Should one make their own community for this purpose? What about a general purpose community for self-promotion, i.e. "imadethis" back on the old place? As you can see, much to consider. (I don't have anything out yet, so this post in itself is not self-promotion.)

What say ye, o wise Lemmings?

Original Title: New research finds procrastination can stem from perceptions of societal mobility, not poor time management. Students feeling stuck in social hierarchies are more prone to passive procrastination. This may be a silent rebellion against the perception that society’s ladder is rigged.
