Over the past year, Pornhub had to make the difficult decision to block access to users in numerous American states due to newly passed Age Verification laws (Texas, Utah, Arkansas, Virginia, Montana, North Carolina, Mississippi). In July 2024, we will unfortunately be blocking several more states who are introducing similar laws. (Indiana, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky and Nebraska.)

Easier to exploit his workers in Texas than California

Nothing to do with a trans law (although that is a nice bonus for him)

I wish that countries that are condemning cluster munitions actually send non-cluster munitions to Ukraine.

US isn't doing this because they want to, but because there are no other ammo left and ammo production is still ramping up.

Maybe the U.S. has finally come to understand that if Ukraine really is going to have a chance to win, it must be allowed to fight the war properly.

Doubt unfortunately: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/08/05/ukraine-had-a-chance-to-blow-up-russias-best-warplanes-on-the-tarmac-the-white-house-said-no-and-now-its-too-late/

Not sure why Ukraine can't use Western to hit military targets in Russia, how is Ukraine supposed to win a war when it cannot return fire?

I can't trust a single thing that pops up on google because everything is auto generated blog spam

And regarding reddit, moderation keeps reddit at a good quality but if reddit takes away moderators tools and introduces more instructive ads it will become low quality and untrustworthy as well

Is Pelosi forgetting how old she is? She is older than Biden and Trump, it's time for her to retire instead of trying to criticize others

Russia's decision to invade Ukraine was "deeply mistaken"

More people are turning away from news, describing it as depressing, relentless and boring, a global study suggests.

Almost four in 10 (39%) people worldwide said they sometimes or often actively avoid the news, compared with 29% in 2017, according to the report by Oxford University's Reuters Institute.

A total of 94,943 adults across 47 countries were surveyed by YouGov in January and February for this year's Digital News Report.

At least we finally have standardization between Androids and iPhones

China's treatment of Uyghurs is despicable.

The communications attack continued more widely as Apple complied with a government request to bolt the door on Chinese citizens by denying them the ability to download apps such as Signal, Telegram, Threads and WhatsApp, which previously could have been accessed through virtual private networks.

China has blocked every non-Chinese social app but gets upset when the ban of tiktok is brought up.

If that is how Beijing treats its scientists, its sporting heroes fare little better. Exposed by The New York Times and German television channel ARD, 23 members of the Chinese swimming team for the Tokyo Olympics were revealed to have tested positive for a banned substance prior to the games but were allowed to compete anyway because the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accepted China’s excuse of kitchen contamination without an on-location investigation.

Trying to out do Russian olympic doping...it seems like a competition in it's own right.

Trump's unconstitutional appointments to the supreme court and the Clarence justice taking bribes means we will never have a unbiased ruling from the supreme court.

There's a video of the missile striking the hospital. This is an act of terrorism. Call it like you see it.

I just want more affordable housing

This is why it's important to classify Russia as a terrorist organization, so these businesses wouldn't be able to operate there so easily

I think there's always interest in more technical posts on beehaw/lemmy

One thing personally I would like to see is more "Ask reddit" style posts. It was interesting to see what different people had to say.

Union officials say about one in 10 Disneyland cast members have experienced homelessness while working at the park. A survey of employees showed 73% say they don't make enough to cover basic expenses each month and about a third said they experienced housing insecurity within the last year.

“We’re the ones who make the magic,” says L Slaughter, a host at the Toontown-themed part of the park. “We need Disney to pay us a liveable wage.”

Ms Slaughter makes $19.90 an hour - thanks to a minimum wage mandate passed by city voters in 2018. Disney unsuccessfully fought the wage hike, but workers say it’s still not enough to survive in Southern California.

Russia also helped Assad use chemical weapons in Syria

The birds outside my window:

Voting for a 3rd party especially in swing states to guarantee a trump victory? Is that the goal here? Do they want more aid to Israel and get deported?

Got chipotle today and that makes everything better :)

Otherwise busy with work and procrastinating on everything possible as usual

Do you have any screenshots of what the dashboard looks like?

Yeah it's an annoying for sure. Also takes way too much time. I also hate how hard it is to find stuff that fits. Especially sucks when you get a perfect size but then it shrinks. Now some materials like cotton are known to shrink but others are not like polyester. Even when accounting for that I get unexpected sizes.

Also today's trend seem so the "streetwear" with baggy clothing and white sneakers. Not a fan.

Russia also releases videos of using dropping chemical agents using drones

Massive war crime

Who will hold them accountable?

Such a beautiful culture piece destroyed :(

The issue was fixed for me in that update they did earlier this year. Also the horse stable glitch was fixed after many many years.

Nice. Sense of humor goes a long way

Personally surprised to see Minnesota, but hey good to know now!

My heart breaks for these kids :(

"Everything used to work fine before we started paying half a million per year," shared one developer in a private Twitter developer group chat shared with Mashable.

A fool and their money are easily parted

Dang :/ I was looking for the option

I use connect to browse.

I tried sync for a little but honestly it's very underwhelming compared to the reddit version. Nowhere as smooth plus dev is constantly disappearing for months on end.

Microsoft has tied the attacks to Clop, a Russian-speaking ransomware syndicate. The hacks are all the result of Clop exploiting what had been a zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit, a file-transfer service that’s available in both cloud and on-premises offerings.

Of course it's Russia, why not do something productive and contribute something to society? Or is their economy that bad that they have to resort to crime?

Holds up well to fast food, poor sleep, and no exercise 🫠

If I could afford a lawyer I would use for lying

Turning a blind eye to atrocities happening in Ukraine as long they make money

You can use a typc-c to usb cable with the controller if using the controller with windows not sure about other platforms

Hello, nice to have you! If I feel the need for some more activity I venture over to lemmy world.

US nor Ukraine have banned them so no legal issues but regarding their use, personally it should up to Ukraine to decide if they should or should not use them since they are using them on Ukrainian land. I trust that Ukraine will limit them to certain scenarios against dug in Russian positions and not indiscriminately like Russia has been. Essentially it's either use cluster ammo against or no ammo, because US/Europe has a very limited supply which they already gave Ukraine, until they ramp up production Ukraine needs at least something. But yes in a perfect world they would have enough guided ammo.

As already demonstrated US allowed Ukraine to use HIMARS on targets near Kharkiv and that that did not leave to nuclear war. Why not also let Ukraine use ATACMS?
