I can only imagine they meant caffeine, another common drug that's heavily abused but a little more socially accepted

It's wild because in a lot of cases the FDA does have jurisdiction over the apps, they just choose not to check them.

Whoa I had no idea this happened. I used to be a part of a group that would go in and add street view for places like public transit stations so people could gauge accessibility. It's such a shame that Google killed that ability...

Can we consider this an open and obvious secret? They're DDoSing that instance not because they think it'll take everyone down, but because it'll take down the most number of people with the least amount of effort.

I appreciate the law in Massachusetts, USA where jaywalking is so common that the fine was reduced to $1 for the first three times in a year and a whopping $2 for each time after that.

You can't remove the law, but you can make it silly enough that it's never enforced.

That's where I'm at. Discord isn't the issue for me, it's them not using their own platform to communicate major announcements. At that point it's like you've given up on your own platform.

It's useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn't necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it's potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).

Oh but didn't you know that's just a slippery slope argument and he's really just a cool dude and who doesn't encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don't want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

Richard Stallman is a bad person but I don't think we need to make stuff up to prove that. He's said he's fine with child pornography (as long as it's consensual) and might have favorable views on pedophilia (that may have since been backtracked) but that doesn't make himself a pedophile.

Just a misunderstood crazy person.

If it makes you feel any better, Costco and Walmart also don't work for a lot of Americans in the US who don't like that inefficient way of shopping. You're not alone.

"Living the dream" is also in the US but it's usually more sarcastic like "Just another shitty day at this job, just living the dream!"

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the "screenshot" is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

Many years ago there was a local grocery store nearby that got caught doing this for years. And not cleaning the butcher's table basically ever.

As someone who has a server rack with multiple servers, I would not recommend them to start with as they use up a ton of electricity. I'd recommend a small form factor computer (or a mid sized tower) to start with, it'll be marginally less powerful but for what you need it'll get the job done perfectly fine.

If you have an old desktop laying around, that's the perfect way to get started. Even if you only have some old parts, that'll cut down on your initial costs. For anything new I generally recommend looking around at places like https://logicalincrements.com to see what they recommend for CPUs and motherboards at different price points. For hard drives I use https://diskprices.com and also eBay. You generally want motherboards that support 4+ SATA connections or have PCIe slots for an expander in the future.

Can I discourage rolling your own password manager (like using a text doc or spreadsheet) and instead recommend what you hopefully meant, self-hosting your own password manager?

We've proposed "Routey" (pronounced like "Rudy") as a nickname for a future pet named "Littleton/Route 495" (named after the MBTA Commuter Rail stop). You could also do "Tony" but that's less fun.

Upvoted not because you're right, but because you realized you were wrong and will hopefully inspire others to look up the meanings behind phrases they read on the internet.

I also needed a refresher.

My knowledge on this is very limited and I currently lack sources, but I believe the issue that Mindgeek has is not the implementation of age verification, but instead the fact that all of the work is being put on Mindgeek to implement it instead of the states. I believe they've been fine in the past implementing age verification if the system already exists and they just have to tie into it.

Both? Both!
