I’d happily pay for YouTube if they didn’t want such a ridiculous price for it.
No, it really doesn’t. I expect Obama, W, and Biden were all kind people.
Either way, it certainly wasn’t a Democratic administration pushing for them to be unbanned.
I feel betrayed that a democrat administration pushed to repeal that ban.
I guess you can feel a little less betrayed.
Today, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled 6-3 under its conservative supermajority that a bump stock attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun, which is prohibited under federal law. Under this decision, civilians now have access to bump stocks again.

Disagree. I prefer XML for config files where the efficiency of disk size doesn’t matter at all. Layers of XML are much easier to read than layers of Json. Json is generally better where efficiency matters.
Just to give a concrete example, there are a couple blatantly political posts on !fediverse. Do they belong there? Absolutely not. But by the time I saw them days later, the damage was done and they were already taken care of by downvotes. Should I really mod remove a week old post with 50 downvotes? The discussion there about why it didn’t belong was fine, and didn’t need to be hidden further.
If votes are anonymous and federated, it’s very easy for me to add or subtract 900 votes from whatever I want.
You should consider anything you do on social media to be public. Even if Facebook tries to claim that it’s not.
At least this advice should always be paired with classes at a shooting range.
Be clear that it’s not the pictures that are the problem. It’s the threat.
You mean like if they went all tankie? Or like AOL email? This has already happened several times before and it’s fine. Google could kill gmail in six months and we’d all move on.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a little centralization in your federation. It works well enough for email. The point is that you have the option, not that you have to use it.
You don’t have to trade one extreme for the other. In fact, I think this is the perfect example of that. Lemmy.ml is the developers’ instance, and by default would likely be the largest. Except… you know. Many, many people started there before going to other instances, especially the largest competitor.
To illustrate, let’s play a game. We each put in a dollar, and whoever wins a coin flip gets the two dollars. Completely fair, even odds, right? We’ll play until one of us decides to stop or someone runs out of money.
I’ll start with $1000 and you start with $10. Let’s see how it turns out.
If it helps, picture a graph where the bottom axis is number of coin flips and the Y axis is the amount each player is up or down in total. Each flip can move the graph by $1, up or down randomly. So it’s going to bounce a little, because it’s random. Some bounces will be bigger than others.
The house can offer you completely fair odds and still take your money just fine.
If there are people here, there are bots/paid propagandists here.
But yeah, I generally agree that it’s concerning to throw that in here.
It’s a dumb take that’s incredibly boring presented any other way. The only thing interesting here is how dumb it is when presented this way.
But that wouldn’t be worth posting. Might as well just make the title, “So… Crowdstrike, eh?”
“Cute, but no.” is accurate. You can calculate that in the shower. Showerthoughts isn’t an excuse to be dumb.
Some of the people here are in the theme of “I didn’t mean ‘literally’ when I said ‘literally’”.
The number didn’t “reverse” but it definitely multiplied.
Maybe he should have put the thing that did happen as the title.
But that’d be kind of boring, wouldn’t it.
Weird that it costs them so much to produce as much content as they do, isn’t it?
