  Yeah, I think I saw that post.

  Lots of “it’s OK when we do it” sentiment.

  I’ve noticed the majority (or at least the vocal ones) don’t really stand on principles such as free speech. And I don’t mean as in a “free speech” Lemmy instance. I mean in terms of inalienable rights.

  To many here, things like that are only for the “good” people, as determined by them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m too tired to hash that out with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I moved from Twitter to Mastodon when Elon bought Twitter. I think what you saw on Mastodon was a product of what you were following (people and hashtags).

  The other nice thing happening somewhat recently is that I can follow Bluesky (through a bridge) and Threads (some accounts now, more as federation between the platforms matures).

  Not being able to follow the brands you want is just a symptom of them not being on these platforms yet. I follow a few news outlets, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kagi search, Vivaldi browser, Cloudflare, Mozilla, The Internet Archive, etc.

  I’m hoping more show up on these platforms with time and that BS and Threads actually do integrate more fully with Mastodon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be more excited about that when they start allowing larger federated instances.

  I haven’t read a ton about it, I have to admit, but last I read, federated instances are limited in number of accounts.

  More generally, the idea that taking crypto bro money will allow them to stay as open as Mastodon sounds unlikely to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My Mastodon experience is far more pleasant than that of Lemmy.

  My sense is Mastodon is far less left leaning (but still left of center) but it may just be a product of who I’m following and the tags I’m following.

  I lived in Tucson for a while. Very good food scene.

  Weather is actually pretty nice this time of year.

  Nothing really special to be aware of. Stay away from cholla cactus. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blocking trash newspapers in Apple News+ just disabled the link but doesn't free up screen space.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I blocked ESPN news articles just because I don’t want to see sports content. Does the same thing. They need to fix this stupid shit.

  On the other hand, I’m willing to pay for aggregated news to gain access to articles from the likes of The Atlantic, etc. Anyone have alternatives to Apple News+ in this regard?

  No, it’s fine. We don’t do lesser evilism here so it’s fine. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK."⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that may have been up to voters. And we fucked it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you’ve come to the conclusion that “retirement in the US is a scam” evidently based on a few years of data in just your portfolio. Retirement savings is built over decades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  JFC. Just buy a target date fund. This post makes it clear that you don’t really know what your’re doing so please do yourself a favor and just pick a target date fund like this (or equivalent if Vanguard funds aren’t available to you) and don’t mess with it until retirement.

  Ayy same!

  I mapped the script to a single key I wouldn’t otherwise use. When I’m done for the day I hit the key and leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pray for me lads, Imma about to rawdog this without back ups⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Same sentiment but using Bazzite here.

  Update fucked something? Roll back and wait. It’ll be fixed soon.

  More History Channel.

  Used to be some really good shit on there that would teach you interesting history. Then it turned into Ancient Aliens bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oops, you missed this part (I’m sure it was an accident)

  may not have been applicable for some reason

  The comments I’m replying to are absolutely sure what Israel could have done. Mine make it clear I don’t know what Israel knows.

  The burden of proof is on those who seem to think they just need whatever information is on the public internet to know what would or wouldn’t work against various targets.

  Consider dialing back the confidence seeing as no one here knows shit about what intel any groups involved has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I forgot every method works the same against every target.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What technology are they referring to then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they have the method and the will to use it, that’s all I’m saying.

  The method may not have been applicable for some reason. Shooting people in the head is a method but unless they line up for you away from everyone who’s not Hamas, that’s not a realistic method to employ.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your comment implies they had a method like this one to attack Hamas. Source?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is lemmy having trouble telling the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah now?

  The reporter wasn’t even that sharp or clever either

  I disagree. Too many people get lead off the path by the MAGA bullshit fire hose. Dude just kept forcing the dipshit back to his question… over and over.

  It makes clear to viewers what Miller is doing and why he turned into a man baby as the video goes on.

  Torrent tracker, CDs, and Bandcamp. For me, anyway.

  Fuuuuck you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate how everyone seems dead set on separating everyone by the color of their skin. Jesus Christ, y’all mind if I just exist as a human instead of what color I am?

  Nature also made our kickass brains which we use to create these amazing things.

  Those same idiots drive home in a car to an air conditioned home. What’s “natural” about any of that?
