- Comment on 'King of the Hill' Voice Actor Jonathan Joss Fatally Shot in Texas 2 weeks ago:
I was looking at the Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Joss
On January 23, 2025, Joss lost his San Antonio home, as well as three dogs (with a fourth missing) when his house caught fire.[8][9] Joss says he was using a propane heater and had left the house. “Mistakes happen, man. And it’s my fault for, I guess, leaving something on,” Joss said. “Or if somebody came in and did something, who knows?” [8] He attended the 2025 ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas with other King of the Hill cast members on May 29, 2025.[7] However, he says he was not invited to the panel, and an attendee on the social media site Reddit says that Joss interrupted the King of the Hill panel, bringing up his house burning down which he felt was intentionally burned down because of his homosexuality.
On June 1, 2025, Joss was approached by a neighbor who allegedly yelled homophobic slurs at Joss before shooting and killing him. The suspect was arrested shortly afterward.[7][10][11][12] The two neighbors have been subject to a longstanding feud going back years with police being called multiple times.[13] His death occurred just hours after he uploaded an Instagram video of himself walking around Austin and noting how he already recorded lines for 4 King of the Hill episodes.
Kern de Gonzales stated on Instagram afterwards that various people in the area had for years verbally assaulted them with homophobic slurs and threats to burn down their home.[14] Kern de Gonzales went on to say that the house had burned down after years of threats from their neighbors, threats to which the police had not responded, even after the threats had been reported by Gonzales and Joss.[11] On Joss’ Facebook page, Kern de Gonzales described the attack as a homophobic hate crime.
San Antonio Police Department released a statement saying “Our investigation has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that the Mr. Joss’s murder was related to his sexual orientation.”

I also remember seeing articles about how the design was meant to be very simple because it was going to be cost effective, and that they were experimenting with a manufacturing technique that would work better on Mars
Yea nope.
Instead now Slate Auto seems to be going for the cost effective minimalistic truck

I think it could work great on a dating profile. It’s unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking
Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption

So while this isn’t the cause in your case, it is possible to sticky things to the main feed. It’s done by admins, and for example lemmy.ca had something stickied right now:

I think it’s a federation bug. That post is on community.nodebb.org, which isn’t a Lemmy instance but actually a different software.
Which in itself is cool! There are a few projects being worked on right now to make traditional forums compatible with activity pub. The idea being that someday you’ll be able to follow and post in official support forums for things right from your Lemmy account.
But right now, it might be causing some weird federation bug. Maybe the date of the post shows up to Lemmy as sometime in the future and so it’s always the “newest” post (or something similar)?

More places seem to be switching over to a centralized/interoperable system for prescription information. In BC Canada we have
…gov.bc.ca/…/pharmanet-bc-s-drug-information-netw…
PharmaNet is a provincewide network owned and operated by the Ministry of Health. PharmaNet keeps a record of every prescription dispensed in B.C. community pharmacies and select hospital outpatient pharmacies.
In another Lemmy thread recently, someone mentioned that Australia has a national system for it. I think this might be it
- Comment on Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing? 3 months ago:
If my understanding is correct
With Islam, the deity is meant to have no gender and the use of “he” has more to do with the nuances of Arabic language
With Christianity, there is more anthropomorphism and the deity is seen as a father figure in comparison to everything else

- Comment on Xbox Boss Surrenders In The Great Console Wars 3 months ago:
Relevant bit
Over the weekend, Spencer sat down for a lengthy interview with XboxEra in which he discussed his favorite games, talked about what various Xbox studios are working on, and dished on the industry at large. And he was also honest about Xbox no longer being part of any console war, as it shifts to selling Xbox games on other consoles, like PlayStation.
“I would love to make all of the money for all of the games that we ship, right? Like, obviously we make more on our own platform,” said Spencer. “It’s one of the reasons that investing in our own platform is important. But there are people, whether it’s their libraries on a PlayStation or Nintendo, whether it’s they like the controller better, they just like the games that are there.”
“I’m not trying to move them all over to Xbox anymore,” added Spencer.
Now, I don’t expect that to mean the sudden cessation of manufacturing of current Xbox hardware. I’m not entirely sure I believe that any of this means we won’t get another generation of the console at some point, either.
But I can see that happening. And everyone can already see how Microsoft has begun to pivot away from focusing on its console, has begun a far greater foray into cloud gaming through the Xbox Game Pass platform, and it has even begun moving away from the exclusivity we wrung our hands over months ago
