Good point. I think "oligarch" is more accurate.

I was so fucking relieved to see that lemmy.world doesn't fuck around with the fascist "absolute free-speech" game. Fucking FINALLY! If I didn't already have a reason not to return to reddit/Twitter/whatever, this would've been enough on its own. Thank you, admins!

My NAS is my best friend.

Edit: Seems the below statement was factually incorrect. Oops!

It's a very obnoxious and heavy-handed approach to anti-piracy measures. It slows down games, kills framerates, gives users a whole host of other performance issues, and just makes the experience worse overall. It's a product that doesn't even seem to care to improve, because they make their money from publishers, not the people who buy and play the game. Many people hate it, and I believe it's absolutely justified.

No Labels is an astroturf group that aims to divide the dem vote. It is NOT a legitimate option for those who want to advance progressive policies. They do not disclose their funding and investigations have found that a large donor was Harlan Crowe; the billionaire who bought InJustice Thomace.

Maybe someone should challenge dem leadership, but splitting the vote with a party backed by far-right billionaires isn't the answer. It's the fucking problem.

I'm loving all these union wins!!! Let's go!

Content moderation absolutely is a form of free speech. They get to decide who to associate with and what ideals to rebroadcast with their own equipment. They aren't government entities and do reserve the right to express their individual beliefs. If you have a problem with that, find a better-suited instance for your own personal beliefs, or host your own.

If you want further reading on the subject, here's a well-written post that explains the positive relationship between more active content moderation and "freer" speech.

No, it does not. Many people struggle with , as an example.

An intrusive thought is an unwelcome, involuntary thought, image, or unpleasant idea that may become an obsession, is upsetting or distressing, and can feel difficult to manage or eliminate.

Bad thoughts ≠ bad person.

Firefox had some issues like a decade ago on their old engine. In the past few years, they seriously stepped up their game.

If you're a normal user, you probably won't even notice the difference between Firefox and Chomium-based browsers. Sometimes I come across a weird website that doesn't want to load properly, so I'll open a Chrome tab for a few minutes to access it, but that's increasingly rare.

For web development, I generally prefer Chome's debug tools, but do all my normal browsing with Firefox.

I think they mean this graphic from the article. Looks like the periodic table of states.

This POS likes to just.... block it anyways... it isn't legal, but he's worth $6 billion, and it's only enforced by a small fine IIRC. And when the penalty for breaking a law is a fine, it's only illegal if you're poor.

And the shit about ceiling fans... Those new regulations are a win for everyone but shitty bootleg fan makers. No one is trying to "take their ceiling fans away," this is about making them better and cheaper. But, of course they hate that, too. If Biden said, "stop running your A/C with all of your windows open," Ted would complain about that next.

Last night, I tripped and busted my chin open and had go to my local ER. One of the nurses treating me was limping around room-to-room treating patients despite breaking her foot that morning. Came to work anyways. Workers don't just deserve better, they need better.

They surpsingly release most methane through burping, not farting. Even more surprising is that they burp so much methane that it is

I know that look. My cats make it when they're shitting.

I'll never forget the reason one boomer told me. They used to be a "leftist" hippy, but is now your typical conservative sucker. When I asked what happened to cause that change, I got the answer, "Just stopped caring about others." That's exaxtly the attitude you're describing.
