dear comrades living and dead, please help give me the self control not to try arguing with all the "Lemmy is anti human rights" takes polluting the fediverse rn 🙏

"unlike reddit" mm I'm sure they have RIGOROUS controls over which creepy staff / disgruntled plutocrats / repressive regimes get access to their voting database..

it's the only place I know where it's common to have your whole battery pack swapped out, much quicker than recharging a battery, and leaves the difficult job of battery maintenance up to professionals

counterargument: TLDs have been a corporate-minded, US-centric joke since they were invented, the joke got even worse when ICANN wouldn't hand over authority to the UN, worse still with the naked cash grab / branding exercise that was gTLDS (remember the shakedown that was .xxx and .sucks?) and now that .amazon belongs to a creepy oligarch's predatory monopoly instead of the countries containing the ancient giant life-giving rainforest of the same name they may as well just change all TLDs to .clown and let DNS die in peace

absolutely brilliant bot misfire 😂

good news!

also another sad example of how arbitrary the word "natural" is. LSD derives from the (very "natural") ergot fungus, MDMA from sassafras - but I guess they're not included because [mumbles something about test tubes]

90-and-counting downvoters just can't get enough of the taste of boot

Yes, we can see he did that. Yes, she said that afterwards. She showed no signs of it at that moment.

1. please explain what kind of "sign" you are thinking of.

2. please then make an earnest attempt to empathise: you are in a public situation, your boss, who has an immense amount of control over your future career, makes an unwanted sexual advance. how confident do you feel enacting the "sign" in point #1

3. please then rate, on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is "not at all convincing" and 10 is "completely convincing", the "sign" in point #1, and the public statement after the fact that the kiss was not consensual, in terms of you believing that Hermoso did not consent. in rating the public statement after the fact, please bear in mind the risks of the public statement to Hermoso (including the lawsuit mentioned in this article, the potential career damage in point #2, and the potential harm that thhe player is likely to cause to people who have experienced sexual assault, were she to be discovered to have been lying about not consenting)

"pet theory" = my angriest Lemmy upvote yet

"customer" instead of "passenger" on public transit. implies the kind of ludicrous thinking that public services "lose money"

best I can think of is internet search for the exact filename in quotes. AFAIK the hash is based on properties like torrent name which would he hard to guess maybe?

if you see a cookie popup, it's because the website operator decided to use third-party tracking cookies on their site; they could have easily spared their users the banner by using privacy-friendly analytics, or no analytics instead. blaming the EU for inconveniencing users with these warnings is doing free PR for the worst parts of the advertising industry.

"wuhan virus" opinion discarded

"inconvenience me and I might murder you with my car" I hope you're getting a lot of money from the oil tycoons in exchange for being one of their brownshirts

correction: it was both! fedbook chat also supported xmpp at first, they never federated but you could at least use it with a jabber client. then when they had enough market share they killed it.

fun semi related fact is that, at least a couple of years ago, was using modified ejabberd (ie an xmpp server) as the backend - so arguably they helped with EEE too.

don't see mention of magpie market yet https://codeberg.org/MagpieMarket

@JustinHanagan@kbin.social i think you might have the meaning of "Luddite" backwards https://thenib.com/im-a-luddite/

JFK - oversaw massive expansion of the US military and laid the groundwork for the Vietnam war, started a military alliance with the Israeli government, helped fight tooth and nail against Black civil rights except for some minimal concessions, promoted a giant tax cut for the rich, etc. etc.

what in tarnation are you talking about?

The monument, in a Montgomery County community known for its synagogues, is dedicated to the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Schutzstaffel — the Nazi military branch often referred to simply as “the SS.”

maybe. but piracy is better than either 🏴‍☠️ (even if just because it doesn't have ads, and shows and movies don't disappear suddenly)
