Elon Musk spying on Trump’s Google search:

“Avoid wife hat tips”

“How to know if I’m daddy’s good boy”

“Best marker?”

“Buy Greenland price”

“Greenland owner”

“Buy Denmark”

“Buy eggs”

“Buy eggs from Denmark”

“Other Congress house”

“What is love”

“Constitution”

“Constitution short summary”

“Constitution short summary for kids”

“Normal poop color”

“McDonald’s poop color”

“Undo Constitution”

“Undo egg price”

“Smaller wife hat where to buy”

Are you using the same sort order when logged in and out?

Here it is. The only part I missed was Musk leaving the company. But the day is still young.

Are we still pretending this wasn’t the plan all along? I predicted this a long time ago, and I’m a dummy.

Hey, I’ve got unpopular opinions. No, it’s usually someone who is trolling.

It’s far from perfect but of the people I’ve seen, they are usually so bad that they are damaging dialogue, not fostering it.

Usually it’s eventually reversed if they are not a troll. People here are pretty decent and upvote most things.

I started out with an old laptop then eventually “upgraded” to a refurbished office surplus desktop. I highly recommend starting out on a project PC as a sort of proof of concept before investing any money into it. Even hosting the family media libraries, I have never had an issue with streaming video, etc. even with pretty dated hardware.

I think it depends on the model, but there should be something in the power settings to change the startup device. I did a factory reset first to clear any network settings or user data, skipped the setup, and set it to startup on the HDMI input.

Showerthought: You could technically have a three-bath house with zero showers or bathtubs, just six little sinks all over.

For years I was a big fan of Roku. It represented a better value alternative from the big corporations pushing their own agenda like Google, Apple, Samsung, and Amazon. They made products that were intuitive and user oriented and carved out a very nice and stable market share for themselves because of it. Now they’re just leveraging their hardware relationships to transform the software into something terrible.

I used to look for tvs with Roku built in. Now I’ve disabled Roku features from my smart TVS and use a separate streaming device.

I don’t agree with that statement at all.

Whether an action is justified or not has nothing to do with whether it is a blockade. We can debate the former, but you’ve already admitted that we agree on the latter. It is, by any rational definition, not a blockade. You’ve said as much. Why are you talking in circles about this? Just move on.

I’m not sure what you are arguing here. Clearly we agree this is not a blockade, and your “evidence” that the terrorism is somehow valid is that one of the boats used to belong to an American company?

Possession of any amount for a first-time offense is a misdemeanor punishable by 6 months imprisonment and up to $1,000 in fines

Possession of any amount of marijuana (subsequent offense) is a felony punishable by 3.5 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines

The cultivation of 4 plants or fewer cannabis plants is a felony punishable by 3.5 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines

The cultivation of between 4 and 20 cannabis plants is a felony punishable by 6 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines

Some of the most punitive laws I’ve seen.

I think there might still be one or two apps that show a total.

Some communities use a “santabot” to auto-ban accounts with more downvotes than upvotes. I’ve never seen it happen to someone who didn’t deserve it.

Being in an international relationship, I’m sure you understand how tricky and stressful some of these paperwork matters can be. Just deciding what type of visa to apply for when you are in a relationship can be taxing.

You are right that for the majority of people, the bureaucracy works as long as you file things correctly. They should have done it right from the start. But there are a lot of personal situations that can complicate it.

As an aside, it is mind boggling to me the number of immigrants who wholeheartedly support Trump, even with family ties that are endangered by his actions.

Good moderation eliminates trolls pretty quickly. Admins are incentivized to respond to users’ concerns rather than a profit motive. Some communities do have a minimum account age for certain actions, and some instances require a real email address and IP address to join/participate.

Trolls are bots are rare on Lemmy. They are the norm on reddit.

Exactly - Reddit specifically and intentionally uses dark patterns to reinforce the importance of karma at every turn. The first interaction that someone has with Reddit is usually “you don’t have enough karma to post/comment/vote in this subreddit.” There are secret communities and public awards for high karma earners. There is a frontpage dedicated to rapid karma-earning posts. There is no disincentive for karma farming reposts, and subreddits are actually punished for reducing reposts. Karma is commoditized.

Here the votes still matter, but the algorithm is public and users can and do sort in a variety of ways to discover new and relevant content. There is no single “front-page”

It might be a blockade if they were attempting to block arms or other goods to Israel, but they have long since abandoned that pretense.

By international law, a blockade must be enforced by naval ships, and violating vessels must be duly warned before being boarded and redirected. The crew and cargo may be captured or released according to the relevant laws.

They are just launching rockets at any vessel in range.

Even if you somehow consider the Houthis the legitimate government of Yemen (I think maybe Iran and a few others do), that just makes it state terrorism.

Saving this for later. Great list!
