The Cockneys, or alternatively the Fr*nch

thanks just blocked they ass

Is it already rusting? lol

Do viruses control our Congress critters like the brain worms do?

I never found any of those hanging air fresheners to be even remotely effective. They might be good for about 5 minutes after you take it out of the package. Then it becomes waste like everything else.

They're covering their ears because her jet engines are super loud.

What're the benefits and salary of this position?

Do I need to provide my own Samurai sword, or will one be provided by the Clan?

Thanks Ken M

It's one of those things where a guy knows a guy, and they'll contact you in a dark alley outside a Pachinko shop.

Correct. The Cube Rule of Food Identification is used properly here.

The thing I find most perplexing about those communities is that although they themselves support marginalized communities, they also defend highly authoritarian regimes (Russia, China) that actively persecute said groups. It's very strange to see that horseshoe wrap-around effect where at times they have the same things in common with the right wing but for entirely different reasons.

Lemmy is good but very, very small in comparison to Reddit.

For example, /r/mildyinteresting has 286k subscribers. Lemmy has around 51k active users across the entire platform and all of it's communities. And /r/mildyinteresting is a misspelling of the even more popular /r/mildlyinteresting (23.4 million subscribers).

Even some of the niche gaming communities are larger on Reddit (/r/Kenshi, 145k; /r/factorio, 370k).

However, the small community feel is much more pronounced here on the federated Lemmy servers. You'll see the same names pop up so everyone isn't a complete stranger. Third party app support is miles ahead of Reddit's crappy app. And if you don't like your instance for any reason you can hop to another one easily.

You'll see certain trends on trending communities here. There's a lot more posts on Linux, Star Trek, and Tech news that isn't as pronounced on Reddit unless you subscribe specifically to them. The meme community is top notch though and doesn't have the incel and misogyny issues that plague Reddit.

Thanks I hate it

Little birdie has gotta be the Duolingo bird.

Let's hope this isn't an Archduke Franz Ferdinand moment. Last thing we need is full blown escalation in an already fractured geopolitical situation that could lead to WWIII.

It would have been good if they put in the Amendments, because you know, it's the Constitution as Amended.

I found the recent incel-ish responses on various Lemmy communities to the bear meme to be off-putting. Granted, it's much worse on Reddit but I would have expected better on this platform.

The nutty putty cave guy is merely a Saddam Hussein at an 80° angle.

No thanks, I'll stick with my unpatched IE 6 instead.

They gonna cook some meth while they're at it?

It's the italicized version

I don't have a particular Lemmy link, but here's a general overview from knowyourmeme.

15 years in prison for "endangering a fetus"? Then giving birth only for that child to not have a mommy during childhood, adolescence, and teenage years?

And this is considered good policy by those who create these laws?

wtf

Smart TVs were supposed to be better than dumb TVs.

Now it's the complete opposite.

I remember being endlessly entertained by the rotating cube animation between workspaces in the old Beryl implementation.

I told my wife, "but does your Windows do this?" Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, "I don't care." And that was that.

I shall tell this story to my grandkids.

This is a good way to incentivize game developers to just not use Unity and just some other engine that does this.

Great for short term profits which makes the quarterly statements look good, but bad for long term sustainability.

I've given up on buying stocks for individual companies. I'd rather just stuff it in an index fund and pretend it doesn't exist for 10 years.

As an American, I cannot legally touch any egg that hasn't been ultra-pasteurized followed by continuous cold chain refrigeration and served in either a Styrofoam or pulped paper cardboard egg carton.

Mmm yes security by non-functionality. A pillar of the modern cybersecurity framework.

As if that weren’t enough, in May 2023, the Heritage Foundation declared on social media, “Conservatives have to lead the way in restoring sex to its true purpose, & ending recreational sex & senseless use of birth control pills.”

Yikes 😬

Yeah Microsoft is definitely not going to be benevolent. But I saw this as a foregone conclusion since AI is so disruptive that heavy commercialization is inevitable.

We likely won't have free access like we do now and it will be enshittified like everything else now and we'll need to pay yet another subscription to even access it.

No, you'll need to contact Kim Dotcom. I am merely Kim Dotnet.

Defraud rich people? Go to jail.

Defraud the rest of us? Get promoted to CEO.

This guy almost singlehandedly eliminated the public option for healthcare in this country.

For that he can get fucked.

Does the GDPR have teeth against this kind of violation? Could Reddit be hit hard with violation fees?

Ooh I can't wait for the new Philips Hue® lighting monthly subscription service, where with a low fee we can access all of our standard lighting IOT with the basic subscription plan and colored lighting with the premium subscription!

Let the enshittification begin.

Yay I can't wait for Comcast to implement this so you can blow through your 1.2 TB data cap in a second so they can charge you $10 per every 50 GB that it goes over.

Boeing's hit job must have been well planned.

The killer would have had to kill him in his car, wrap his hands around the gun to establish fingerprint marks. A company like Boeing that's part of the Military-Industrial Complex wouldn't have an issue finding a highly trained contract killer.

Bribes at the local authority level (maybe higher too) to have them rule it a suicide with no further investigation needed. No need for further pesky questions.

Now all I'm waiting on is for the judge to toss out his incomplete testimony since it isn't complete.

Then just wait a few weeks until the media focuses on other things.

Then the execs can have martinis while stock number go up.

She luckily has access to the best medical care you can find in the world. Can't say the same for most of the rest of us peasants if we get struck by cancer.

It's a bit ridiculous that the DMCA is being used to prevent people from repairing their equipment in the first place.
