Like my uncle Gump used to say: "Stupid is as stupid does."

I don't understand the assumption made. How does OTC meds inherently make something "dangerous?"

This is a wild article. Someone please tell me it was written by AI. 😶

Kinda shook at the Meta-supporting comments. They should not be anywhere near the fediverse. Meta is a business first and the users are the product. Companies now just want to maximize profits, minimize costs, and hoard wealth for... rocket ships? Fediverse itself is community-owned, independent, and decentralized.

With how new all of these controversies are, it's kinda baffling that people are still defending this company. They're going to continue to exploit anything and everything for profits. It wouldn't even surprise me if the genuine reason they're interested in this concept is because they want to take what's open-sourced, adapt it, and commercialize it. I would imagine they're thinking, 'why invest in a brand new backend when we can profit off of an existing one, unrestricted.' And this "meeting" that they're forming is basically a free forum for them to learn and ask questions about how they can exploit the Fediverse and find any way to profit off of it. "Off the record" anything is shady as fuck.

This update looks like it's going to be a huge upgrade with tons of fixes and improvements all around.

Rep. Jim McGovern (Mass.):

“The truth is that Speaker McCarthy has lost control of this House, and it is being run by the MAGA fringe. This is nuts,” he continued. “Kids get shot in their classrooms, nothing. Environmental disasters destroy entire communities, nothing. Our air is clogged with smoke because half the Northern Hemisphere is on fire due to climate change, nothing. But when the MAGA wing nuts say, ‘Jump,’ Speaker McCarthy says, ‘How high?’”

Jim McGovern nailed it right on the head. Took the words right out of our mouths.

Interesting enough to get a gaggle of billionaires in a bolted metal box and explore the capsized boat. 🤨

W11 has more efficient power usage and task management. Outside of that, there's rounded UI and... uh... yea just rounded UI. If this is a new PC install or just like a fresh install, just upgrade to Windows 11. W10 is eventually going to be discontinued sooner and the changes aren't that drastic to warrant staying downgraded. I also recommend something like Open Shell to fix a lot of the gripes power users have with the UI, like the limited right-click context menus. Personally, I use StartAllBack. WinAeroTweaker is a great software to disable some telemetry, add important options to context menus, etc.

You can still game on Linux now with Proton.

This is very alarming. There is no doubt that there are going to be human rights violations perpetually. Is it going to be a forced stay or voluntary? Horrible experimentation is going to be done here.

I really like the theme! I'm trying to create my own theme for fun and the finalized code for html/css is a MESS. Makes me want to rip out my hair it's so messy.

This is Paul! He's a rescue who was bullied by other cats when he was just a baby. He was obsessed with keeping himself groomed and clean. He passed almost two years ago from lymphoma. While super timid and anxious, he was so affectionate and loving.

 

I know… it’s the entertainment network that shall not be named. However, I find it so interesting that this actually aired.

Jessica is there to incite anger to the viewers because the network knows that the biggest reactions are anger. It’s an easier emotion to manipulate.

The producers don’t care about law and reason. They are opportunists that hunger for more and more money to hoard. And, in my opinion and sadly, Jessica is just a tool to them. Thoughts?

 

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this question. Using the upload image button and selecting my mp4 brings up an error red box mentioning something isn't a valid json token. Mastodon communities already make it possible to upload short clips. Would I just link to a Mastodon post?

I would like to gather ideas for those that might want to post small video clips to start discussions. Trying to avoid bloated websites like YouTube for uploading a small 1 min clip.

 

Out of curiosity before midnight, I've been lurking in incognito to see what subreddits appear and I saw WhitePeopleTwitter has a long post and is choosing to stay open.

WhitePeopleTwitter shows solidarity with the current protests on reddit against the fundamental changes to site architecture.

This moderated thread will remain open for everyone to comment in.

The comments that are in-favor of a real 'blackout' are being deleted.

I was even banned for commenting complicity. Interested to hear people's takes. Anyone else face a similar story or think it's justified?
