Worst part about Lemmy being a tech heavy space is that so many users spout shit like “They’re not banning it, just deplatforming it” like yes, dipshit, that’s effectively a ban for something like 99% of people. You think 100,000,000 people are gonna fucking sideload the app? Love this place but it can be a bubble sometimes.
Having visited in 2019, it was incredibly clean. They charged just a standard transient occupancy tax of I wanna say a few euros a day. But that’s multiplied by 24 million annual visitors staying for multiple nights each. I need to read this article when I get home and see what the new funds are earmarked for, because I remember being happy with everything from cleanliness to safety to transit while I was there.
Wait? Normal people are constantly buying an extra stick of ram because their browsers slow down too much.
We may not realize it’s a problem because the tech sphere (and especially the pc gaming sphere) is famous for overbuying. I used to frequent buildapc over on that other site and there are daily posts of people asking if their RTX 3060, 10th gen i5, and 16gb of ram is good enough for basic gaming and getting told no “actually you need at least a 4070, 13th gen i9, and 32gb of ram just to be low end!”
Hell, I used to be a frequent commenter on lowendgaming and would constantly have to butt heads with gamers who believed that a 4060 ti was low end.
It’s an unhealthy mindset that a lot of pc powerusers have that makes it impossible for them to engage reasonably with articles like this because they simply cannot wrap their heads what is actually normal in the world of pc users. /endrant
I could never date someone who doesn’t remember the Vine Era
Republicans never argue in good faith, and bending over backwards to give them what they want just shows them they can demand even worse terms next time.
Estonians are just built different
My Bach degree was in history, and I often wrote off the importance of the “critical thinking” skills we learned in that program.
Boy was I wrong, I know too many people who need nothing more than an unsourced headline to fully convince them of something ludacris.
Well generally everyone on joint bases like that reports to the base commander. There’s always a clear chain of command that transcends nations when it comes to NATO operations.
Also, I expect that most small detachments like that are just technical experts, not just straight infantry or anything lol
There’s a lot of downvotes here which are valid, but I personally wouldn’t be opposed to paying a few bucks to the devs making Lemmy for a sticker to put on my laptop.
I suppose I would just want to see Lemmy’s principles set in legally binding stone before I would want to give them cash.
Edit: lemmy quickly add that I’m obviously no expert in any of this and these are just casual musings not clear directions haha
We laugh but this is not uncommon. I remember reading manpower contributions to the war in Afghanistan back in ‘17 and there were two Estonians and four Icelanders on the list. Hilarious when put next to the 10s of thousands of Americans.
At my grocery store people would put everything they bought into one of those thin plastic produce bags and then just pour in hand sanitizer and shake it all over everything in the bag.
Weird time, but I’m glad they took it seriously… some customers angrily did not
And Biden even added a few more! That’s fucked up. Thanks for the link!
So I could set up a private instance on, say, a pi and then never be at risk of losing my account? (Particularly interested in things like subscribed communities and saved posts)
Thanks for the link, I don’t see anything in there about the US “tightening” anything, though?
Guess it’s just a case of using hyperbolic language.
“we are going to continue building our revolution, despite the tightening of the blockade”
I haven’t been following Cuba at all, can someone more knowledge expand on this? Has the US tightened the sanctions on Cuba? I thought we loosened them during the Obama years?
WoW sub included in game pass when???
Lol so true. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s an almost 800 year old citation being used by the majority opinion of the highest court in the land.
Talk about precedent.
Justice Alito cited the 13th century English legal treatise De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae when he allowed states to ban abortion so I guess it’s pretty inspiring.
The “surprise” is because he’s wanted, and is being actively hunted by the Spanish police.
An officer even got arrested for helping him escape, per the article.
