Damn. You could be described a hypothetical to illustrate your current state, but like all of this literally happened this week. wtf.

That’s what the blocking vouching^edit system is for though, right?

And while I understand where you’re coming from, what would you do to prevent the following hypothetical?

A vote to defederate from a community causing active harm in the real world is started, say some group like 7*4 spins up a Lemmy instance after dealing with discord bans. I’m a member of that group. I throw up tasks on fiverr to have people create local db0 accounts at scale, then vote against the action against my server. These are real human created accounts, not bot accounts, not being created through the same vpn, by the same user, in the same country, etc.

How do you stop the vote manipulation that will occur? You have no way of differentiating those accounts from your regular users.

It reaffirms my decision both to migrate here for my home instance and to start donating when I did.

It’s wild to see Chrome going from the browser to use if you had any tech sense whatsoever to being universally derided.

Safari also has it built in. This person is just saying shit to say shit I guess.

While I’m not going to slag this dude because I know nothing about him personally, this isn’t a case of it being “time for a revolution” in those aspects, the revolution already fucking happened. Case in point, Embark Studios.

Those pieces were all published 3-4 years ago. Rockstar isn’t going to be taking first steps here, they’re walking in someone else’s footprints.

I’m like 50/50 on that being a bracelet or an Apple Watch on her right wrist. Honestly judging by hour it’s not further down I’m going with Apple Watch.

Look, OP might have leaned in the direction of posting in the wrong community, but they didn’t actually do anything illegal ok.

Holy shit I forgot this movie existed.

Definitely feels like if a super devout Mormon tried to make an homage to Gummo. I couldn’t stand Napoleon Dynamite on release, and still can’t.

Wtf? No I’m not defending anyone, are you serious? I’m just saying that the fucking newspaper headline is accurate and isn’t disparaging/insensitive to the victim in the situation.

Jesus fucking christ you are primed and ready to fucking go with your outrage. The article didn’t mention anything about the victim being a minor when they met, or about her being groomed. If that’s the case, yeah super fucked up, no shit. I literally opened the article after reading the post I responded to, read it, saw that it said the victim and Epstein were in a consensual relationship, then he raped her a year later.

If I’m missing context blame the article, not me dude.

You do realize that someone can rape their spouse/partner right? The article does state that they were romantically involved for a year prior to the rape, so ex would be appropriate here.

And his entire defense is “I never met up with her in person”. Yeah bro because you got fucking caught. This is not the defense you think it is.

He’s releasing this abysmal attempt at damage control because a former Twitch employee blasted the details on Twitter yesterday. I doubt the chat logs actually get leaked, although given the fact that he’s almost certainly downplaying the vileness of the I wish they would be.

I’ve noticed this happens when I click volume up or down repeatedly a lot of times in rapid succession instead of just holding the button down. It hasn’t happened to me since I’ve tried to be conscientious about it, but ymmv.

Some of us drive 18-wheeled vehicles.

I’m just basing on the fact that two identical OLED panels, one in a 32” LG monitor without the app features and the other in a 55” LG Television with the app features, are about equivalently priced. I could be totally wrong though idk. It quacks like a duck getting fucked ¯\(ツ)/¯

Im sure they could pump out LED panels without spyware at pretty much the price they’re selling at now, sure. I have doubts they could produce OLED panels without the spyware garbage and keep them at an affordable price for someone making the median annual salary or lower in the US. You just have to look at OLED monitors to get a rough picture of this. A 34” OLED monitor sells for roughly the same price as a 48” OLED television.

I’m not trying to excuse television manufacturers at all here, it’s bullshit and I hate it, I just don’t have much choice if I want a TV. I just try to be as invaluable as possible to them after that. I don’t see what monopolies have to do with anything here though, there’s a huge of TV manufacturers, from Sony, LG, and Samsung down to bottom of the barrel Chinese brands like TCL and stuff.

Consumer protection laws that prevent data siphoning by TV manufacturers? Yes please. I’m just not sold on there being any antitrust/monopoly shenanigans going on.

So you don’t have to like balance the triangle or whatever?
