• Must be willing to enforce instance rules as well.

Yup, I can do that.

• Being very active in /c/piracy will be a big a plus, as that will allow you to notice and respond to problem posts, even before they’re reported.

I’m probably not as active as I’d like to be but mostly because my Lemmy is set up to look at all.

• Knowledgeable about pirate culture and tech a plus.

I’m not sure what you mean about pirate culture but I’m in tech.

• Bonus if you’re an anarchist as that vibes with our instance’s culture, but not strictly necessary.

I’m not an anarchist but share many similar views. If that’s going to be an issue, I understand.

I’m on the US east Coast. UTC-5 right now.

196 wouldn’t be as bad if the user base across all communities were higher. But yeah, I’ve blocked that community. It’s a nice community but it adds too much noise.

Also in the larger pin array

In a normal government, I’d agree with you.

But this is fascism times. Any en masse resignations would be a boon to Trump, because it would allow him to fill the positions with his sycophants who don’t know what they are doing but think they do.

That’s the sick twisted version of all of this. There are no good options as a federal employee except to resist.

Can someone ELI5 the difference between Usenet and torrents? From a pirating standpoint anyway.

From a protocol standpoint, my understanding is that downloading from Usenet is no different than downloading from a website, eg you download the file from one server vs the data being sharded across multiple peers.

I was curious about the reasons why people would vote against the measure, so thank you for providing it. I don’t think “being able to provide a source” is a good enough reason not to vote against it since methods to do so are provided, even without the changes that the admins made.

I mean “argument” as in “what is your reasoning”, like in a debate. That’s how we learn and how we grow as a society, by debating weighing the pros and cons of why you have a belief.

Not everything is a disagreement, per se, but healthy debates are necessary to ensure voices are heard and accommodations made.

In the original thread, I offered arguments why screenshots should be okay. Hell in this post, I made a counter argument that in rare instances twitter links should be allowed. But I didn’t only say “twitter links should be allowed”. I provided an argument/reason as to why in certain cases it should be allowed.

Your first two points are allowed though.

Screenshots are permitted as well as one alternative front end.

The rule doesn’t bar you from putting a twitter link in the comments or as part of the post body.

That said what is your argument exactly?

So I’m going to put on my “devil’s advocate” hat on for a sec, because there is a nuance here that’s worth addressing.

I absolutely hate how politicians and governments use a third party, commercial social media platform to discuss and even announce policies. But it’s where we are. So if shit for brains Madam President Trump makes some sort of shitty announcement on Twitter, I would agree a source is needed and, I would go so far as to say an actual twitter URL source, only because a third, third party (even xcancel.com as currently allowed) could manipulate or even change a tweet. I’m not saying they would, but having the direct unimpeachable source would be necessary.

Given the fact that tweets can’t be viewed without an account, xcancel is a good compromise that can then be drilled down to its original source if needed.

Now, putting my devil’s advocate hat off, it’s a silly argument to vote against. I presume that the rules would allow you to post the URL in a comment or a post body, and only prohibits using a twitter URL as the source.

Thanks for the summary. I think the rules you listed above capture all but the first.

I mean, the first is a whataboutism so I wouldn’t even consider it. I would have said, “Fine… we’ll discuss meta next but we’re discussing Twitter NOW. If you are objecting because we aren’t including Meta, then you’re not debating in good faith.”

Out of curiosity, what was the sentiment for those who voted against? Or did they not comment?

Ooh it’s an early termination fee. OP made it sound like there was a fee on top of the subscription cost. Which I guess still fits the definition.

Still scummy.

The attack on trans people is an attack on “others”.

You got attacked not for looking trans, but not looking enough like a woman.

That’s the insidious thing about the alt right. It’s about what they believe is “right”.

I have a coworker who clearly doesn’t live with anyone and all she wants to do is chat. I have on many occasions told her I need to focus on that I’m busy and she says, “Oh, sorry. But did I tell you about (some niche issue here)?”

I’ve almost gotten to the point of switching desks.

but hung up so high, that they aren’t accessible.

“Challenge accepted.”

It sounds like you’ve done your homework. Depending on the amount of light and which way your windows face, you may have some luck with some ferns.

The other option is fake plants. I’ve done that in a few places where the corner was missing something and it works.

My fear is that regardless of how much and how accurately I measure, that I won’t drill the rails for the drawers straight. I know it’s one of those things I should just buckle up and do it and learn lessons but it’s a constant nagging thing in my mind.

But what you described sound pretty straightforward. Using scrap wood as kind of a story stick and then making sure the holes are set to the story stick makes sense. Especially when it’s relative to the bottom.

I have wanted to build a set of drawers like this but I’m afraid that the drawers will not be level.

Did you have a trick for that?

I have a breeding kink and …yeah, might have to add this to my rp prompts.

Maybe It’s Some Sort Of Sovereign Citizen Thing?

Jesus fucking Christ man. At least spoiler this. This image just made me furiously masturbate.
