Good to know! Thanks for the recommendation 👍

I mean she’s fully bought out by AIPAC and her messaging is weak at best from everything I’ve seen. I don’t love Talarico with all my heart but I cannot imagine any world in which he’s a worse choice than Crockett.

I had no idea about it being abandoned until you said something. I just looked at the play store reviews and lots of people are saying the developer is mia. Guess I’ll keep an eye out for another app with a ui I like in case Sync ever stops working for me. Luckily I haven’t had any problems so far.

Sync for Lemmy

Okay this is entirely separate yeah. Almost two years old so I wonder if things have changed since then, especially with the rebrand into Stoat. I definitely care more about this than the internet drama blog posts I found before.

This does work, yeah. The parentheses weren’t getting percent encoded so they interfered with the markdown. This should work now:

Tldr at bottom

Your link is not working for me. That domain has a blog where the author talks about their Revolt account being terminated (this was over two years ago), but the drama seems to be about one lead contributor banning the author across several servers they moderate. The author gives no explanation for what they actually got banned for and only includes a few dm screenshots that don’t really explain anything. The author links (incorrectly formatted) to this callout post where the author of that complains that the hobby programmers who maintain Revolt in their free time are hobby programmers who maintain Revolt in their free time (as opposed to unpaid developers who dedicate their life to the project). The author literally complains about who they describe as a teenager “playing video games such as Beat Saber VR, Minecraft, Fortnite, Among Us, and Valorant instead of focusing on the product”. Brother it’s not a product you’re not paying for anything. Skimming through the rest of the takedown post, this is your generic right winger “I’m being cancelled for my beliefs, so much for the tolerant left” nonsense that losers do when people stop giving them the time of day they feel they’re owed by others. kate.pet referencing that callout post does not lend credibility to their own claims, I must say.

Tldr there was internet drama two or three years ago that affected like two people, both of whom include screenshots so closely cropped that I feel like one extra message above or below each screenshot would change the context of what’s being said. I would hardly call this a controversy. If you want to avoid it that’s your prerogative, but to me this hardly seems worth writing off the whole project over.

I personally disliked the first episode of Starfleet Academy, but I’m glad I watched past it. So far in this show, the point (and it’s very explicitly stated) is that Starfleet and the Federation are NOT supposed to be like that, and that change starts with the youth.

You’re welcome to present data to that end. Everything I’ve seen indicates that criminalization worsens working conditions for sex workers and raises the risk of violence. The only negative outcome I know of from legalization is that it apparently leads to increased trafficking, but I don’t see that as an impossible challenge to solve that negates all of the positives of legalization.

The Justice Ministry is moving toward revising Japan’s anti-prostitution law to punish the sex buyers, addressing a legal imbalance that has only targeted the sellers for 70 years, according to government sources.

I hope it’s obvious why only punishing the sellers puts them in a very very vulnerable position, so evening the playing field in that regard is probably good. That said, prostitution should be decriminalized, or better yet legally protected.

“I want to sell sex.” “I want to buy sex.” “Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?” The state shouldn’t be preventing people from having sex in exchange for money; it should be protecting them to minimize exploitation and generally bad outcomes.

epr/epy is all I’m familiar with

Genuinely this is why it’s important to humanize autistic people. If you paint autistic people as incapable with high support needs, they won’t get the help they need to grow up. It fucking sucks, and organizations like Autism Speaks contribute to this notion of autistic people being a drag on society instead of people who just need to be taught things a little differently sometimes.

Those systems were set up by globalists and Trump destroyed all of that. It’s all worthless now. You need to convince people to believe in good ideas that make society better.

If by “globalists” he means Jews, then obviously he’s just being insane. But there is an underlying truth here if he means “capital”. The legal and financial systems that the world is built on have been set up by international capital interests. Trump didn’t destroy any of it, not really. Throwing a wrench in things with tariffs and such, but that’s about it. Billionaires and CEOs still have lavish dinners at the White House to court special treatment. Capital interests are still influential in politics. If you want to overturn all of this and build a better society, then you do have to convince people to believe in good ideas, but I have a feeling your MAGA father’s “good ideas” are not, in fact, good ideas.

+1 for Porkbun. They even offer $2/yr <6–9 digit>.xyz domains if you just want a domain for basically free and don’t care about having a nice and pretty one. 01384629.xyz or whatever for $2/yr to give their service a try is well worth it imo. I have one of these as well as a “real” domain I like that’s like $20 or $25/yr. I have no complaints with Porkbun.

Why did this need an ai generated image to go along with it I’m so sick of seeing ai everywhere

Whenever I get sent a link to a social media post in discord, I use a third party tool to embed the content. tiktok.com → tnktok.com for example

To anyone wondering, this is from 2019. There was a nest above a bunker and ants continually fell in through a vent and couldn’t escape. Since there was no way out, cannibalizing each other was the only food option, and it was a good option in terms of new ants falling down the vent often enough that the trapped population of worker ants grew. When researchers installed an escape, the ants left and the carcasses left behind had marks that indicated cannibalism, thus how we figured out what had gone on.

That character is called a thorn and is pronounced as a “th” sound. It’s from Old English and fell out of use iirc, but some people like to use it
