Theoretically, you can still sue the office of the President, just not Trump himself.

So, you know. You can cost the taxpayers money, but not the person making the terrible costly decisions

Probably Monty Python’s Life of Brian

I was one of those Holy Grail kids, I loved the movie and memorized the lines. Wanting more, I looked up other Monty Python works

I was in 7th grade or something, raised in a very religious home. I was not expecting what Life of Brian was, and I know I wasn’t old enough to understand all of the jokes they made

Hilarious movie

North America. Is there a pattern of difference?

Zero issues, everything works exactly as I expect

Not to say no issues exist, but I have encountered none, and that is data

This is what I’ve been saying. I think it should go even further and give admins a default block list of users.

A lot of folks talk about how Lemmy became useable after they spent hours (or sometimes a month) blocking the right communities and users, but most social media users don’t want to work that hard, they just want to start doomscrolling.

I have had closee friends get very mad at me for making this point.

Netanyahu is bloodthirsty. Biden is spineless. This doesn’t absolve him of his complicity, but they are distinct issues, and they should be addressed accordingly.

“who wants to shoot a billionaire?”

Which network is this on? I don’t usually like reality tv, but this sounds fascinating

There are very few situations where a dead man’s switch would have helped these whistleblowers.

Once they have gone public and are at risk of being “suicided” they should have already released everything they knew. Sitting on it after already going public in any way only helps if the goal is to blackmail or extort the company, rather than to expose the company or protect others.

A lot of people have latched onto the idea of a dead man’s switch (and I get it, technical solutions are fun to create), but the only part of the scenario it would help is before the whistleblower goes public, while they are still gathering information and haven’t yet been discovered by the company. Even then, it wouldn’t protect them from being killed, it would only ensure that the partial work is released in case they were discovered and prevented from finishing it.

As is tradition, they will blame Democrats for the effects of policies chosen by Republicans

The Tick.

I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.

I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.

But why bother holding back in the first place. If this is whistleblower information like Boeing safety issues, there’s no point in setting up a dead man’s switch. You want to release it all immediately in the first place, because keeping it to yourself undermines the point of blowing the whistle

With whistleblower information, why hold it back in the first place? Wouldn’t it be better to release it immediately if they might kill you either way?

world leader uses religion for good

Why would anyone do this?

I avoid eye contact and hope I didn’t disrupt his day

Gelsinger was hired as a known long time engineer, rather than as a business expert. I would trust his numbers from an engineering perspective, even though I was laid off under his rule

Communities aren’t hashtags!

Try using one of the PWA’s, like Voyager. Just go to vger.app in your browser. It’s still a browser-based front end, but it has more features than the default interface

Thank you, this got me to resolve it. No amount of refreshing and closing tabs worked, so I did have to delete my site data after all. Lost my settings, but at least it works again.

Yeah I figured it must not be affecting anyone else since I’m the first to bring it up here. Not sure I can check the version when no part of the PWA loads though, but I think vger.app is supposed to be whatever is the current version

Eeh, you have a point, but on the other hand, if the word meaning “literally” no longer means “literally” then we need a new definitive term for the concept.

And we don’t have one. We just have a word that is becoming more ambiguous every year
