4·2 days agoAgreed. Although sometimes these smaller affiliates don’t have super-seasoned IT talent. The jobs for the department heads at these organizations often make what an intern or college grad would make in the private sector at an unremarkable mid-size tech company.
You often get people making questionable decisions simply because they don’t have seasoned IT people in the building.
All in all, this was dumb, but it also feels like a story I’ve seen before. The nonprofit media isn’t funded, and the cracks are showing.

18·2 days agoThis looks like this is isolated to KETC’s locally produced shows for Missouri. They appear to be a smaller affiliate and they don’t make a ton of stuff that contributes to national and international broadcasts.
Since they have a smaller audience I imagine it’s going to be harder for KETC to find community-created backups of their stuff.
I also imagine that if Missouri gave more of a shit about public broadcasting, this affiliate would be operating with better funded / more experienced IT staff. These little affiliates really rely on a lot of volunteers and green IT folks who do the work for the experience.

4·2 days agoDoes the local St. Louis affiliate produce anything that lots of people would want to seed? They look like a smaller affiliate compared to the WGBH and WNETs out there.
I imagine KETC is a really small shop that mostly broadcasts stuff others have made, plus hyper-local content that isn’t expensive to make.

13·2 days agoMore specifically, this PBS affiliate (Nine PBS St Louis). It wasn’t PBS proper. This only impacted local programming archives. But that’s still a loss for the local community.
PBS likely does much better than this. Heck, a lot of their stuff is backed up in the Library of Congress.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favorite shaving tool, if any? I'll go first...English
3·5 days agoSeeing a lot of blades here, so I’ll throw out an electric for my razor burn homies.
The Panasonic Arc razors have always been pretty solid for me. And they’ve recently updated the old trusty Arc 3 with some pretty dope industrial design and USB C. I may have to swap over to that when my battery life eventually gets crummy in a several years.

3·5 days agoFor disposable blade cartridges, those older Mach 3s are still the best. The newer 4 and 5 blade razors just clogs up with gunk and don’t rinse clean.

Technology@lemmy.world•California data brokers must start deleting personal data requests Aug. 1English
6·12 days agoIt’s more of a tool than a law.
The right to delete and edit PII is already covered in older laws like CCPA / CPRA.
This act funded the creation of a central portal that allows people to easily make deletion requests (DSAR). Previously you needed to file these with a company individually, or you needed to pay for a service to auto-file DSARs for you.

IMO, when people say “blue no matter who,” that basically means, “don’t let the MAGAs get 50.1% of the vote in a general election.” That’s how you get jackboot ICE agents rolling around and authoritarians plotting coups.
People try to get really progressive candidates on the ballot as a 3rd party, and unless you have ranked choice, that’s a really bad idea in races where a MAGA candidate could win or lose by a few percent.
The play needs to be what the DSA is doing. Use the democratic primaries to get in. Not the general.
I mean liberal in the sense of liberty, equality, and progressive reform.
But, the city and county have a long history of people electing socialists into public office.
It’s been a thing in some small internet circles.
I never hear anyone in the real world say “ugh, Uncle Fred wouldn’t shut up at Thanksgiving. He’s super Blue MAGA now.”
And I arguably live in one of the most liberal cities in the US. Super progressive protests and decorating our windows with woke signs is our idea of recreation.
Stop trying to make
fetchblue MAGA a thing. It’s not going to happen.
