My dude, I am positive. My cake day: June 8 2023. Your cake day: June 12, 2023. Do you not realize that people can have multiple accounts? Dick measuring and attempts at gate keeping based on time on a platform is super cringe.

I created the community you’re posting in right now. You should probably get off the internet and chill bro. You woke up and made the choice to behave this way, and it’s pretty fucking embarrassing tbh.

Ah, like just set up a guest account for each instance i’m interested in, then browse by local for each one?

That sounds like a potential workaround, but unless i’m missing something I’m still subject to only seeing the communities that are hitting the feed based on whichever sorting algorithm I’m using right? It seems like adding something like“view all communities by instance” tab to the app search page then using similar logic to that in the instance selection field on the signup page would be more useful and useable as a user to me personally.

I obviously pulled a lot from Apollo into Arctic, which if in being honest, I feel a little guilty about.

Sorry to respond to such an old post, but I wouldn’t feel guilty about this. Christian said he absolutely did not want to convert Apollo to Lemmy, and that he was done with the project. I’m really glad that you’ve made an app that feels so familiar and comfortable for me coming from Apollo, I wouldn’t use Lemmy nearly as frequently without your app.

That’s been my life for the past 10 years, you won’t regret it at all.

And leaded gasoline and leaded diesel and leaded aviation fuel and lead pipes in household plumbing. Probably lead in the cigarettes everyone smoked literally everywhere.

Saying they banned VPNs isn’t completely, technically correct I’d guess. If I were another country then VPN’d in to my house, I would probably be fine. A pedantically correct statement would be that they banned known VPN IP ranges, so if you’re attempting to connect while your traffic is routed through one you get blocked.

Oh damn. Yeah fuck that place, glad I left.

Semi-related, I was searching for some hyper specific job related technical cybersecurity stuff a few weeks ago and the first result with the verbatim error message was a reddit post, so i clicked. No dice, loads a reddit branded error page. My employer has their own ARIN number/ASN. As far as i could tell every connection from an IP in one of our blocks was being blocked by reddit. My employer isn’t a faang type tech company, they don’t work in ai, they don’t scrape content for datasets or anything else. I can’t figure out why kind of business would cut off entire swaths of customers from accessing their site during the workday, a prime “take a shit and dick around on the phone” audience. I’ve just made a point to search with stack exchange site dorks since then.

We got 4 mainline games in the first 18 years, which works out to a game every 4.5 years on average. We have been getting ports and remasters of a single game for the remaining 12 years. Idk what happened over there. Did the main TES devs just burn out? If so why all the ports and rereleases? Maybe they’re just sticking a revolving door of interns on those?

Edit - Oh I guess the TES mmo. Still though.

Absolutely filthy prodigy remix in the first video. Gotta love the russian at 1:15 looking like he’s trying to get a rewind for that drop but really just can’t move his leg or floppy foot lol.

Yeah, the answer here is cancel prime and pirate whatever amazon video content you want. if you absolutely have to have prime for some reason, don’t sign in to amazon video on any of your devices and pirate the stuff you want to watch so at least your not contributing to views or their prime video ad revenue.

Edit - I see in another comment you said you unsubscribed, good on you.

I’m slightly less mad now that I know this has precedent. I’m still fucking furious that the only precedent I’ve heard about is corporations and Trump, since the law should be equally applied regardless of absolute amounts of money and I’m pretty sure that someone living in poverty isn’t going to get the same treatment for a $50k (or whatever is a proportional amount) judgement against them.

That wasn’t what was at stake here. Trump was already found guilty, he wasn’t bonding out of pretrial detention he was having to post bond in order to appeal the ruling, which typically requires the person making the appeal to post a bind to make sure they don’t spend all their money fighting on appeal, just to lose the appeal and not have any money left to pay the original judgement.

So my expectation was that yes, he would have to follow the same court rules as everyone else and put up the bond in order to appeal. While I do think we should get rid of requiring pretrial detention bond, I don’t necessarily see an issue with requiring pre-appeal bond. I don’t know, you don’t want to create a situation where you’re means testing the right to appeal, but you don’t want people to indefinitely delay enforcement of judgement against them or to allow them to spend away their ability to pay the judgement on appeals. Maybe forcing either the entirety of the judgement to be paid into a more traditional escrow account, or a payment plan for the judgement to be accepted and that paid into escrow, before an appeal can be started?

Any way you cut it though, I can’t fault this chuckle fuck for playing the court game but I’m fucking incensed the court is enabling it.

I’ve replaced the pads on mine a couple times, the rubber on the thumb rest has a hole worn it it to the plastic, and the braided cable is all frayed and stuff. I’ve had the thing for the past 10 years at least. I know new ones are that cheap and that I should just get a new one at this point but the thing is just a workhorse.

It is part of the deep web, just like Discord or any sites hosted on private companies intranets. Lemmy is not, you can just hit any instance with a web browser and view stuff.

To be completely clear, dark web/net and deep web are two different things. That wiki link you used is describing dark web stuff like tor etc.

How the fuck both the prime ministers from 2013 mentioned in that wiki article still leading their respective countries 11 years later?

No Crocus skin? 2/10, gonna buy another crate and key.

Oh damn, I’m gonna have to find that shit. I am regularly shocked at how hard CBS Saturday/Sunday Morning goes though, they will throw some savage shit on the air for the grandmas watching human interest stories about Broadway actors and whatever the fuck Mo Rocca has gotten interested in recently.

Edit - Found it on a Ukrainian dead Russian combat footage telegram. Bit rate is garbo but it looks like even ISIL is full sending the whole weeb CS gun skin thing lol. Best part is the posts of air raid sirens and distant explosions from Belgorod, with the caption “Помста за вухо таджика”.

Ah ok, I misinterpreted your post then. I thought you were insinuating that because refineries are civilian infrastructure Ukraine shouldn’t be targeting them. We’re in agreement here, don’t target actual civilians and slam as many drones as possible into refineries and any other valid targets within Russia.

detailing that he had been promised 500,000 rubles ($5,418).

Fuck me, this really hammers home that first world privilege. More than that amount of USD hits my checking account each month in my direct wages. This guy knew what would happen to him when he was caught then decided that risking misery in Siberia before being executed was worth less than a month of my take home pay. I mean i get that some level of radicalization is involved here, but still what the fuck.

The distinction is not between civilian targets and military targets, it is between “civilian objects” and “military objectives”. Targeting a civilian infrastructure such as refineries, and even civilian power stations can be considered valid military objectives if they make an effective contribution to military action or offer a definite military advantage. The refineries being hit by Ukraine definitely meet that definition.
