We are reinforcing our editorial standards following this incident.

It sounds like they will be reminding their team not to do that and scrutinizing articles in the near future

I’ll take it 😌

Meh, I’d rather let this copypasta be forgotten. It turns cool points into “bad” ones while exaggerating the rest. For example, it’s COOL that this animal evolved specialized digestive organs to process a food in a biological niche that other animals can’t exploit. There’s great variety among animal brain shapes / textures, and having such a complex brain doesn’t guarantee that all humans are that “smart”. Other animals are also sedentary or sleep a lot (sloths, cats) and this is seen as being efficient. Other animals also do things that are pretty gross when viewed through a human lens.

On top of all that, it feels like justification for everything humans are doing to endanger the population.

You could also post in existing communities, since the user base is smaller here

!imadethis@lemmy.zip and similar communities?

Unfortunately these statistics include lawmakers that are standing up to the powerful.

I imagine a lot of this violence is directed towards those who oppose the powerful, rather than those who are in support of them / already powerful. Powerful people don’t care as much about illegal intimidation and violence.

For example, all the death threats directed at doctors and lawmakers during the pandemic

Older than all of us /s

Or at least of those with verified ages

Oldest verified living person was born 1909, and this kid looks older than 1-2 years old

I appreciate the guide!

I haven’t tried this, but it might help anyone that’s having trouble with this?

I remember seeing articles about people leaving their doors open or windows down in places with lots of smash and grabs

It feels like being back on the playground

“nuh uh, my laser is 1000% more powerful”

“oh yea, mine is googleplex googolplex percent more powerful”

It won’t fix everything, but I think it would be very helpful if platforms would add

• a toggle for pagination instead of infinite scroll
• disabling autoplay

Thank you for editing the title with updated information :)

You might be able to download the game (or even play online), if it’s considered “abandonware”

I find it odd, but a lot of newer users on Reddit go with the default suggested username and those follow the word-word-0000 template.

At the same time, it might be better for privacy to do that since it’s less likely that someone can track you across platforms if you use the generator built into each platform.

Looks great!

I remember seeing a caption to this image like

I had to double-check what Deflock was for:

DeFlock’s mission is simple: to shine a light on the widespread use of ALPR technology, raise awareness about the threats it poses to personal privacy and civil liberties, and empower the public to take action.

This app makes it easy to view and report AI powered surveillance cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and other surveillance infrastructure near you.

Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?

🙄

Pretty much, that’s what I understood it to mean anyway

I assume the phrase has been used in other contexts too

I understood “making it” as accomplishing what you were pretending to be, often in the context of self-confidence

• someone is scared of public speaking and thinks they’re no good at it
• they pretend that they are someone who is good at it, in order to get through situations where they need to do public speaking
• they eventually just get good at it

I’d recommend including a lot more details in your post about your machine, your budget, why you want to do it, etc

As long as people are moving away from Windows and Mac

If people don’t like it or Linux Mint doesn’t meet their needs, they will go back to Windows or switch to MacOS. The article points out that there may be better stepping stone distros these days
