Jfc, he spent $20 million of taxpayer dollars to defend himself in court? Why the fuck do politicians get to use public funds to legally defend themselves?

Why wouldn’t they be? Is it illegal to record people without their permission in the EU or something? Clueless American here.

Jfc… Aren’t those tests extremely basic, requiring a modicum of coherent short to long-term memory retention and logic?

Not to defend the antagonistic guy above, but you’re either extremely unlucky or not being fully truthful. I’ve had nothing but Samsung flagships for over a decade and have had literally zero issues besides minor annoyances, especially with the Note line the last 5-6 years. iPhones aren’t built poorly, so I won’t rag on them. But to use your purely anecdotal evidence to declare Apple as offering a superior quality phone to all Android vendors, it feels dishonest as fuck.

Is there a specific reason you strictly need static ipv6?

I’d agree the US peaked in the 90s. 2008 really fucked us for almost a decade, though. Economy had essentially recovered by 2014/2015sh until COVID. I’m almost 40, so most of my adult life has been plagued by crisis after crisis.

It’s pretty good compared to, say, 100 years ago. But is it better than, idk, 10 years ago? This is highly dependent where you live, of course. But, in the US, I can 100% say life was better a decade ago and people weren’t outright rejecting intellectualism en masse.

Yeah, you can just not need/want those specific products for a number of legitimate reasons.

And I used it since ~2007. Sure, I’ll concede that OC existed back then, but expectations/standards were far lower. Simply starting topics or a meme template that hadn’t been done before were fine, often times even hailed. Two broken arms, jollyrancher, coconut, whatever other gross ass viral thing weren’t even pictures/videos, they were comments and/or text posts. They became Reddit legends/mythos/lore, regardless.

Anyway, that type of OC isn’t going to invigorate the masses like it used to. Any of those stories nowadays would be met with heavy cynicism/skepticism (rightfully so, I might add). I guess my point is, Lemmy has only been somewhat known for a couple of years. It takes a lot of time to build momentum. Reddit continues to enshittify ever further, just like Digg did. Times are different now, there’s a fuckton of competition in this type of social media format. What will make it successful is hard to say for certainty. I think sticking to link aggregation and topical discussions is a good start.

Lemmy is a link aggregator. Reddit is as well. Sure, Reddit has started to generate a lot more OC over the last decade, but it took over a decade for that to pick up momentum and gain millions of active users. I don’t want a mindless cesspool of half-assed OC. I mostly just want an easy one-stop-shop for news, memes, and discussions.

That’s completely valid, I haven’t had issues on Linux myself with nvidia, but I know it’s definitely a thing for a lot of people.

Out of curiosity, why do you refuse to support Nvidia? AMD isn’t some saint, they’re a shitty corporation just like Nvidia. They got lucky when Jim Keller saved their asses with the Ryzen architecture in the mid-2010s. They haven’t really innovated a god damn thing since then and it shows.

Edit: I get it, I get it, Nvidia is a much shittier company and I agree. I was pretty drunk last night before bed, please pardon the shots fired

What happened between Linus and GN?

Aren’t phone screens AMOLED? I’m definitely not an expert, but I thought it was a variation of OLED, which would explain why text looks better.

That being said, I also have an OLED Steam Deck and I can read text on it just fine if the scaling is set correctly in the game or just browsing the web normally in desktop mode.

Ummm, how about it’s setting a super fucked up precedent? Even if they don’t do anything, it should absolutely not be something that’s tolerated and normalized to have armed military roaming our streets.

Why aren’t all blue controlled states viewing this as an act of war? The federal government is literally invading states against the states’ will. First LA, then DC, now Chicago? Where the fuck is the line drawn?

Bluesky likely doesn’t want to deal with the hassle and the percentage of users from the state that use it is so minimal they just don’t view it as worthwhile.

Serving in the military does actually have an expedited path to naturalization. https://www.uscis.gov/military/naturalization-through-military-service

But, this fascist regime doesn’t give a fuck about anything except hatred and cruelty.

Online and not LAN? I have doubts.

My office uses a model trained specifically on our work data. They can actually be quite accurate in those contexts. That’s what many corpos are using the tech internally for. Can’t remember what random SOP/regulation/etc covered XYZ and meta tags aren’t finding it on your SPO doc library? This tech comes in clutch ~95% of the time.

For this broad, ambiguous, general purpose approach? Yeah, idk, I guess many people are meeting their social needs with it, apparently.

Edit: actually, I did ask copilot a couple days ago a series of Pokemon related questions my son was asking me about (I hadn’t played any of the games in a long time). It was quite helpful figuring out all the evolution requirements and whatnot without the hassle of navigating various websites.
