The ACA never happened in your mind?

This is a weird take. That ticker telling you about scores and schedules for a whole bunch of different sports has been on ESPN forever.

With two Ironwolf drives, it’s more like “Awoostar”!

… I’ll see myself out.

It’s a single short ad and works better than any plane Wi-Fi I’ve ever used. OP has one of the most entitled takes I’ve ever seen.

I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of branding your instance to be about privacy and security when tankie-glorified regimes don’t respect that at all, and they’re instead mildly pushing people in that direction. Why not use something from the EFF pages on those topics? Nice strawman, though.

Joined Lemmy.ml because it was supposed to be a security, privacy and FOSS focused community

Yep that’s the line the developers put up there to lure people in. It’s mildly disingenuous at best. Having to copy a line from a document titled “The Principles of Communism” just to sign up should’ve tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

Join an instance that has more lax federation standards and subscribe to the ml communities you care about, or get comfortable with defederation and people from other instances discarding your opinions. It’s a choice you need to make.

Oops, I’ve got a citation for you.

I know the response will be what you already said in a previous comment about companies saying “trust us bro” so I’ll take the L on this one.

This is such a Lemmy take, good god.

“Cloudflare has been around for over a decade and doesn’t do anything nefarious with my data and have never shown any intention of doing so… but, consider this for a moment… what if they DID?”

My friend ordered an omelette without the eggs before, and it worked. A server wouldn’t sell me a double shot of Jager because it was “too much alcohol” but had no problem selling me two single shots at once.

All depends on how accommodating your server is.

Indeed.

Fuck Trump.

Didn’t even read the story summary, huh?

Lemmy moment. Isn’t federation great?

You didn’t watch the State of the Union speech, huh?

Fani fucked up big time. Apologists will come out and try to say that she handled it perfectly, but no, there shouldn’t have been a scandal to handle in the first place. These cases need to be airtight inside and out, and this was an incredibly stupid, easy to avoid issue. The Georgia case is arguably the most important because it’s a state crime. Regardless of the case itself, Fani already lost in the court of public opinion.

Don’t forget about DeadJournal for the emo/edgy kids!

If the government told me that my “score” dictating my ability to participate in society would be greatly affected based on what I thought of the government, I’d support the heck out of that government too.

Calling out a government for flagrant propaganda has nothing at all to do with race.

This feels like a hasty “solution” to an invented “problem”. Sure, Wikipedia isn’t squeaky clean, but it’s pretty damn good for something that people have been freely adding knowledge to for decades. The cherry-picked examples of what makes Wikipedia " bad" are really not outrageous enough to create something even more niche than Wikia, Fandom, or the late Encyclopedia Dramatica. I appreciate the thought, but federation is not a silver bullet for everything. Don’t glorify federation the way cryptobros glorify the block chain as the answer to all the problems of the world.

Unless I’m getting wooshed on sarcasm… you realize Israel is full of the descendants of the Jewish people Hitler displaced, right?

When your representatives are Republicans, that’s pretty much true. My blue representatives actually seem to care and I have first-hand experience with this.
