I queued with two guys in a video game Wednesday morning who spouted that line. I was taken aback. How do you effectively respond to someone who says that? I didn’t handle it well, but I have thought about it a lot since it happened. I remember playing with shock humor when I was in high school, but that is beyond the pale.

Misinformation has been shown to be extremely effective. We just potentially voted away our democracy and the people that did so legit thought they were saving it.

💯 way more satisfying than cancel spam Dota last hitting.

FPS for the most part, though I’ve played Dota. I find Deadlock much easier to approach as an FPS. Something about Dota just felt like I was playing with one hand tied behind my back. I could not, for the life of me, get proficient at jungling, but here it makes a lot more sense to me. Last hitting feels more intuitive to me. I think the spirit orb mechanic is fantastic as a skill game against your lane opponent.

Will someone please think of the companies!!!

Agreed, outside of union employees (teachers, police, teamsters) what employer is paying into pensions still? Certainly no small businesses are, right? Pensions are largely dead. I don’t know the numbers, but small business owners bigger costs are providing healthcare and other benefits, not pensions. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but this person sounds like they’re a centrist democrat on both sides of the economic/social divide.

We would just need Wisconsin or Pennsylvania to adopt it if the currently “pending” states adopted it. This is actually a lot closer to being possible than I thought.

I know this is about Fox, but I want to continue to share that neither is NPR. It is an independent nonprofit that operates independently of the government and gets less than 1% of it’s operaiting budget from federal sources.

Then why doesn’t youre “meme” say that?

We have a house with a Kennedy sign up front in our neighborhood. I just don’t get it. At least with Trump you get the whole cult of personality thing which can explain it.

That one says “bonkers idiot lives here” instead of “racist lives here”

This will certainly be brought up in his next bail hearing, eh? He’s a flight risk!

2023 Minnesota law Walz signed mandating free menstruation products in all public school restrooms used by students in grades four to 12.

Yep, that’s a scarlet badge of honor in my book.

Leave spacex board and sell or we nationalize.

Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t block you from accessing it via a VPN, for one.

I think that’s the point of what these statistics mean. This is an indictment on manufacturers not pushing the latest OS updates more than people not accepting the latest OS updates when they’re available.

Seems like a solvable problem though. We have a list of federated servers inately built into activitypub, right? Just need to tag results from those servers as being linked to a “lemmy” keyword search.

I’m sure I’m oversimplifying it, but all the pieces are there, just need search engines to be smart about how they index. Since there are a couple of federation based models that would be good to index, not just lemmy, it would probably behoove them to figure it out.

As I understand it, Lemmy, being FOSS, is pretty immune to this since there are no big tech shareholders to appease. Lemmy is susceptible to EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish) via something like Threads, however.

I’d recommend Fedora KDE. Keep it simple. Good community, support, stable.

There are plenty of private companies that are shitty too. It definitely helps being private (and maybe is a requirement?), but you also have to have the right owners for private companies to be good.

I well over legal age to drink before he was even born and I’m a millennial. Man, when did we get old???

Also, he’s awesome. Really excited to see him in the final. What a birthday present that would be, eh?
