"Terrorist". Having the images doesn't mean they liked them, they used them to terrorize a whole community though.

Which is a great thing in places where the sun would otherwise scorch the earth not letting anything grow.
There are combined projects of "solar panels + grass + sheep". The grass helps retain water, lowering the temperature under the panel, which increases panel efficiency, and the sheep keep the grass from growing too tall, while feeding themselves.

‘Horrific’: 189 bodies found and removed from Colorado ‘green’ funeral home
Reply in thread
When you have a loved one pass away... and you get forced to pony up $10k for a basic service, cremation in a nice casket, and a pretty expensive "basic" urn for the ashes, because the funeral home won't let you use anything cheaper like a pine box or a shroud, with the only choice being between an "eco gas" cremation in your own city vs. a $2k cheaper "non eco" one a city over... you'll understand why people call funeral homes parasites and look for alternatives.

Funeral home. People tend to come already dead in there.

Why cant the Middle East just chill out?
it's like watching two children fighting over who's sandcastles can be built in the sandbox
Welcome to war.
And what do we do if children can't learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.
So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?
That would be nice... only there are no adults.
PS: any adults 👽 out there... whenever you're ready, we welcome you 🛸

The Lemmy.World Terms of Service now in effect
This seems to bring LW closer to Reddit. /s
But seriously, what is the point of all of this? It only seems to overcomplicate things. Now a user will have to:
In that order, or any other order? I see nothing about protesting the breach of the ToS by either the CoC or some community, or some community's mod... so which supersedes which?
How is this going to be communicated to users commenting/posting from other instances? Or is this only applicable to users registered on this instance? In which case, what is going to be applicable to federated users?
What are the user's rights?
If you want to establish this as a legal document, then you're missing at least a section.
If this is about giving as many reasons as possible to remove/ban content/users, it's all unnecessary, just say "mods can remove/ban whatever"; it's a private instance, you can do that.
If this is about having a ruleset that protects the users from arbitrary mod decisions... I see none of that in there.

Uh, just a hint of an accent
Low effort.
At least pick some real sounding ones, like "Przemysław Mądrzykowski", or something...

Depends on where you go.
Subs like r/worldnews and r/tech have bottom of the barrel comments, but still manage to get some posts.
r/IAmA had many of the mods leave, so the remaining ones are stopping all "out of Reddit" activities, like recruiting celebrities, verifying identities, and so on. It's pretty much worthless now.
Small niche subs are still working, but the equivalent communities on Lemmy are getting better quality right now.

HP insists you must use their cloud printing service, covers USB port with sticker
Symbols on sticker from top to bottom:
Sounds more like "This printer has WiFi, no need for USB, peel here otherwise".
But still stay away from HP consumer shit, I wouldn't even let it connect over USB.

Paper reflects light for white, ink absorbs light for black.
OLED and CRT screens stay off for black, use power for light.
LCD screens keep the backlight on all the time, only hide it for color/black.
E-ink works like paper... but has low refresh rates and the displays tend to break somewhat easily.
If we all used dark mode on OLED screens, we could save maybe 0.0000001% of energy, making everything "more sustainable".

Reddit is killing blockchain based Community Points
Reply in thread
Or rather... the tokens were held on a sidechain created in collaboration with FTX... yes, that FTX, the one that "misplaced" a bunch of billions of dollars, and for a long time it took a somewhat elaborate way to convert Reddit community points (Moons, Bricks) into USD.
A couple months ago, after the API debacle, the tokens got listed on Kraken... and their value took a quick nosedive.
They "IPO-ed" them, and it failed, so now they're slashing them.

Pythagorean Theorem Found On Clay Tablet 1,000 Years Older Than Pythagoras

People can re-invent and re-discover things. It still happens all the time in this day and age of worldwide massive communications. I'd be surprised if the right angle theorem didn't get discovered thousands of times throughout history.
