So fucking sick of the doomer bullshit on Lemmy. Way beyond sus at this point.
Hugely republican GOP, working on a Saturday night at 1 am to vehemently fight against him.
Fuck anyone downplaying this. That's literally Russia propaganda at the current moment.
What I am reading is "Undocumented Immigrant manages to escape a lack of due process by simply throwing fists."
He also noted that the margaritas or whatever drinks were placed in front of them were fake. And that you can tell that it was a photo op through a detail they fucked up on.
They tried to make it look like Mr. Garcia's drink had been sipped from (was clearly less full than the senator's glass), But there was salt and sugar around the entire rim indicating it had never been drank from at all.
Edit: clip from press confrence
I've said it once and I'll say it again.
Harvard has more capital than they know what to do with. They're busy literally buying up land in Cambridge, Allston/Brighton, playing modern day Roman Empire in the middle of a Capital US city.
You cannot threaten Harvard with capital.
Delaware is basically America's tax haven. It's tiny, useless, and corrupt.
I vote Delaware sucks the most.
While that is likely the spin, it's not so when your position is quite literally "fuck these guys, we don't need the money; burn it."
Debt is (basically almost always) not transferrable 😊.
Like unless your parents are in debt and have an estate and leave you that estate can you really be in a situation where someone's debt becomes your problem.
Yes they'll pay it as soon as they're deported
🤦
While it is important to report these stories, and while I understand everything moves fast, this is old news.
He was released today. That's the news of this story now.
It's written by a British Special Air Service (SAS) guy (John Wiseman) that covers emergency preparedness, urban survival, and wilderness survival.
Tried and true methods. Probably one of the most condensed/complete for what we're looking for.
Pretty sure there's an app with all of its info indexed. Just a few mb.
Edit: nvm the app is no longer free. F that.
if you want total control
You literally just moved the goalposts.
But, sure, ok... your NAS can be simply 1 16TB HDD in a server that does a dozen other things already, assuming its generally always available on your network. That's roughly what I do (with redundancy).
I am obviously referring to colleges.
Public colleges and public elementary schools both receive public education funds.
God why is it so hard to see that this should be the opposite?
If you are paying your way to a good education, it should be an indication that you couldnt effectively stand out among the masses.
If you get into publicly funded schools, it should indicate that you are the communities best and brightest.
Synology is made for the tech literate tech idiot.
They solve one problem and create a dozen more. That problem not only doesn't need a physical solution, it doesn't need to be a standalone device. It doesn't need its own shitty proprietary operating system.
Anyways. Fuck them.

people should know about Pete Davis
I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.
I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.
Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.
what are your favorite condiment creations?
Acceptable range of answers:
"I mix mustard with mayo"
to
"I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"

Eyedea & Abilities - Color My World Mine
Legend has it, Eyedea wrote these lyrics when he was 14 years old. What the actual fuck.
midnight club: the unsung hero of arcade racing.
This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.
To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.
If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.
Worse and worse
Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?
I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.
Am I alone?
screen blackout, app still functions.
Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.
This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.
If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.
But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.
voting buttons bug
I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.
It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.
Tom Brier sight reads Super Mario World Ending Theme - incredible ragtime improv
This guy was something special. Not too many prodigies can improv like Tom Brier. Someone posted Nyan cat the other day and it reminded me of the incredible body of his work.
This guys relative made this YouTube channel when he realized Tom could play anything and turn it into a full length song ad libertum, AND that he was incredibly out of touch with pop culture. Most of the time he is completely unfamiliar with the song being presented to him. You can tell how much he enjoyed this song by his enthusiastic laugh at the end 😊
Guy sadly was in a bad car accident in 2016, and can no longer play. These videos just make me cry now, but God damn does this mean deserve keep being found and revered.
feature request: custom feeds
Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over.
It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see.
This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.
Your Personal Metal Deep Cuts
Last week we had a great thread about metal without growls. In reading suggestions, and conjuring up some of my own, I re-realized a bunch of stuff.
I wanna see your top 3 metal deep cuts.
What do I mean by deep cut? I mean the formative shit. The stuff you found and loved along the way but lost track of, that when you revisit you go "fuck what happened to these guys?" The ones that helped guide you but fell off the face of the earth (or just your radar).
Blocking behavior
Right now if I block a user, it can disconnect my user within the app from portions of my user presence.
i.e. if I respond to a user in good faith, they respond in bad faith, I block them, and I want to revisit my good faith response in context, I am unable to do so via my profile. If the person I block is the top level comment, I am unable to view any content created within that comment tree because the top level comment is blocked.
I bring this up as Lemmy.world defederates from hexbear, and it has felt like there might be some brigading going on in relation to that.
This might be intentional, or not. Just voicing an opinion that I wish blocking a user would just make all of that users posts show as [blocked] and their username show as [blocked], with an option to temporarily display the blocked content, but still be unable to interact without physically unblocking them. If the "block" was more cosmetic and less functional, it wouldn't disconnect existing functionality (like tryi
inbox is only showing last 24 hrs
I can only see a very small portion of my inbox when I go to "View All". The oldest reply I'm able to see is 23 hrs old. I've been receiving replies for about a month.
posts with low scores are hidden
I can't seem to see posts that are below 0 points.
If I respond to a person, and their post gets downvoted, mine also becomes contextually unviewable.
Same seems to happen if I respond to someone and they delete their post.
Is this a connect feature? Where can I change this? I don't want posts to be hidden unless I hide it manually. I always want to be able to revisit my posts in the threads they were posted in.
UX: the reply button
From the front page/local/all, the reply button allows me to reply to the thread but shows none of the current replies. This will be a problem if we pick up steam; humans aren't that creative. The number of times people will give the same reply will be higher because of this.
Also, it is this unclear where to click to access the replies? Am I alone here? I touch slightly to the left of the reply button to access the comment sections, but it is finicky.
Touch a little higher and you get the user, or the community.
These links/buttons need to be better separated, and more clear for a better UX. It's often a lot of clicking back and forth to get where I intended to go.
new animation for upvotes/downvotes is slow
I am consistently double tapping the upvote and downvote buttons because the new animation takes so long to trigger after press.
image posts close automatically if I zoom
If I open an image in connect for Lemmy, I'll often want to zoom in and explore the photo for details. If I navigate to the edge of the photo while zoomed, the photo/post closes automatically.
This is a really frustrating behavior. Anyone else experiencing this?
