  • he was also all geared up to run in 2016, but then his son died. If I recall, Hilary Clinton actually waited for Biden to decide he couldn't run before she entered the race.

  • "Rollenden Königlich"? Ist das wie "Rolls Royce" auf Deutsch heißen soll?

  • Article says the ceasefire was originally planned for 4 days, so they made the hunger strike coincide with the end of the ceasefire. But then the ceasefire was extended. But they went ahead with hunger strike anyway? Ok…

  • Is this news current? Isn’t the conflict in like day 3 of ceasefire? Are they still on hunger strike?

  • It’s obviously an overly legalistic and technical argument that doesn’t speak to the merits. But it’s an appeals case, you have to argue legal errors not factual ones. I’m not a lawyer and have no idea how likely it is to succeed, but I think “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” is best legal practice, so I don’t see how this filing hangs him out to dry. It’s bad optics but I don’t think is gonna matter to anyone.

  • Did you not read the article?

    and that Trump technically did not swear an oath to "support" the Constitution. Instead, during his January 2017 inauguration, Trump swore to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution during his role as president.

    You’re talking about the reasoning in the ruling by the district judge. This article is about trump’s argument in filings to the appeals court.

  • Here’s wiktionary:

    Although sometimes used, normalcy is less common than normality in American English. It is very rarely used in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is frequent in India and Zimbabwe however.

    So it’s a regional thing.

    Although the claim that in US English the “normality” form is more common does not match my experience as a speaker of US English.

  • I did not recognize that form and assumed it was not a word. I stand corrected.

  • the word is "normalcy"

  • you don't need a uniform distribution. if the server distribution mirrors the population distribution (and why wouldn't it?), that will still achieve the desired effect.

  • Do people not remember back in the 2010s when bit.ly was the main link shortener used everywhere on the internet, and then Ghadafi, the then dictator of Libya, declared the site to be incompatible with Muslin decency norms because it was used for porn? And then all bit.ly links were just dead links?

    How many times do we have to learn this lesson? Domain name hacks are fun but just not worth it. And in 2023, now we have all the new TLDs. This was a dumb decision

  • Photons cannot accelerate

  • Even if dems win a majority in the house, they may not have a majority of state delegations. the house vote is by state delegation.

  • For the record, I don’t think safari works this way. Every incognito window has its own session I believe

  • but the encryption keys are not stored on the 1password cloud systems

  • 1password user data is encrypted, right? so even if a hack had allowed a bad actor access to user pw databases, it's not like they would've just scored everyone's passwords.. right?

  • We call this pose “the strong arm”

  • So atoms don’t have color because some photons have wavelengths outside of the visible range? That’s irrelevant and in no way justifies the claim

  • Lemme see the Goldilocks one too, for comparison

  • Why is the answer no?

    I can post but not comment

    I was able to successfully create a post to c/support. But I cannot reply to any comment.

    I'm experiencing a lot of connectivity issues. I'm trying to figure out whether the site is just slow, or there's a problem with my account. My account recently gained a pretty large negative karma due to making some statements in defense of not defederating Facebook Threads, which were wildly unpopular. I received a lot of downvotes and now my account karma stands at –77.

    Since then, I have not been able to reply to any comment. I was able to post successfully, but I cannot reply to any comment response to my post.

    But also lemmy.world seems to be struggling with the recent uptick in traffic, so maybe it's just slow?

    Is my account shadowbanned for comments, or is the site just slow for everyone?

    Edit to add:

    Here is what I see when I try to post a reply comment on memmy for ios, while I am definitely logged in:

    Lemmy.world Support @lemmy.world
    ziggurism @lemmy.world

    am I blocked?

    I'm unable to comment on any post, so I'm testing a post submission to support. Does this work?
