The latest bad news for the Doc comes a week after an allegation was first made by a former Twitch employee on X. “He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product,” the tweet said.

Yeah so I get banning him but did anyone over at twitch also think to… I don’t know… contact the FBI? Seems like that should have been the first thing to do, no?

Yeah I love mine. After having one of the 2017s that suffered from the infamous keyboard issues as my work machine, the apple silicon ones feel like a return to quality engineering. I really hope they don’t screw around with that.

Notably, the MacBook Pro got thicker and heavier with its most recent redesign in 2021. That redesign corresponded with the MacBook Pro’s transition to Apple Silicon, as well as the return of ports such as MagSafe, HDMI, and an SD card slot.

Yeah and the chunky MBP is fucking dope. It has loads of ports, great battery life, doesn’t burn with the intensity of 10,000 suns under load, and feels incredibly sturdy.

Yeah. Good job dealing with Nordic Nazis, government, now please also take care of the American ones.

I doubt it… They couldn’t even manage to block FFWD on their own website for the longest time. I switched to using alternative front ends long ago, but back when I just used YT directly from my phone’s browser, spam tapping +5s a few times would bypass the ad.

Very little most likely. I was reading some of what the sponsorblock dev had to say about this and the tone seemed to be “meh, there will be a way around this”.

Haha yeah that does seem to be the case.

I’m not a lawyer but somehow “admitting you did the thing you’re being accused of, multiple times” doesn’t seem like the soundest legal strategy.

Sure but that’s still validation right? “I’m powerful because I can get people to do what I want them to do”.

I remember when I needed the constant validation of getting sex from women in order to feel like a winner. Then I stopped being 20 years old.

Damn I didn’t realize there were people who still didn’t know the infamous pony story. Yes, Elon is a weirdo, and like many a rich asshole, believes he can coerce, purchase, or is otherwise entitled to, consent from random women.

When I see this carp, all I can think is I would have preferred salmon.

(I’m sorry I’ll see myself out)

(Also your point is very legit)

I’m not a conspiracy theorist or suggesting that there’s any connection between these events, but does anyone else find it kind of nuts how two notable government officials have died in aviation accidents this year?

I’m going to say this here because I’ve been wanting to get it off my chest and it bothers me. This isn’t a joke about republicans in general and I don’t normally think about how people smell. But every time I see a picture of Kari Lake I think to myself that something about her makes her look like she smells bad.

I think Blender, and to a lesser extent Godot, were able to start making leaps and bounds like that due to funding as well. My memory is hazy on it but I recall probably 5-ish years ago the Blender foundation got a massive capital boost, and Godot has seen a lot of big name donors recently due to the Unity debacle. As far as I know, that hasn’t really happened for GIMP yet. I used early builds of both Blender and Godot, and the difference is night and day with how much they’ve managed to mature. GIMP on the other hand looks and feels largely like it did in 2010 IMO.

The memes would go crazy

Come on, don’t do it. I dare you. Get your ass hauled off to prison by force. Do it, you won’t.

From the article:

One sore point is the notorious 1995 R.J. Reynolds effort called Project SCUM (Sub-Culture Urban Marketing) campaign, which was aimed at selling more cigarettes in San Francisco’s Castro district, a largely gay neighborhood, and in the low-income Tenderloin district.

That naming is like anime villain levels of exposition jfc.

Sure, to an extent. ActivityPub is an independent protocol not controlled by lemmy or any lemmy devs, so there’s a layer of protection there. This is also a trick that can only be pulled once, because any other instances would likely defederate in response and ML would render itself irreparably untrustworthy. I don’t mean to downplay your concerns as they are valid, but I also don’t think it’s an existential threat.

I don’t agree with the “hiding the problem” notion because different instances are independently operated, and defederation is the by-design way to “fix” malignant instances (see the LW defed of hexbear and lemmygrad for exactly this kind of behavior).

As for the whole system not being safe, I’d also disagree on that point as the entire lemmy server code is licensed under a copyleft license which allows anyone with a copy of the code to modify and distribute it. Ergo, hard forking lemmy is possible. Based on the github page, over 800 individuals already have forks of the server code. Any one of them, group of them, or some other individuals entirely, could pick up lemmy development and run with it if need be.
