  • Donald Trump sues BBC for up to $10bn over edit of January 6 speech

    Jump

  • $1B to $10B already? Hell why not add another zero, go for $100B...

    Or maybe just don't be a dog whistling arse who would have let his VP swing from the gallows your klansmen built if he thought it'd keep him in office?

  • How do you manage your home server configuration?

    Jump

  • Snapshots largely, most everything is VMs and docker containers. I have one VM set aside for dev work to test configs before updating the prod boxes as well.

  • Making someone's day

  • Given the time frame it was published it wouldn't surprise me if there was something where they got referenced at least. Dr. Seuss and Disney had a lot of war comics I know.

  • Even if he was currently in the military at the time, it's not exactly something you can just drop when you feel like, at least not without risking jail yourself.

  • Exactly, he supported the nation, not the lunatic in chief.

  • That doesn't really fit. 50 years is way before this administration and their anti immigrant psychosis. That's on Trump/ICE, not him supporting the wrong people.

  • US could ask foreign tourists for five-year social media history before entry

  • At what point do they just rename the TSA to the thought police?

  • Google puts up a major chunk of the funding Mozzia gets in a year. If you don't want them being the default choice in search or having your queries fed to their bots then start putting up the money to make their support no longer required.

  • Trump takes aim at Biden pardons with new autopen directive

    Jump

  • "Anyone receiving 'Pardons,' 'Commutations,' or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    Because of course posting on your own little nazi fan blog is how we do proper government policy these days...

  • Plebbit is the the most decentralized selfhosted social media protocol And why development slowed Down

    Jump

  • Sooo, they act as an admin and can assign mods instead of using someone else's node and being a mod?

    Aside from what I understand as an inability to actually remove bad content that gets in, how does that differ from something like hosting a fedi site?

  • Plebbit is the the most decentralized selfhosted social media protocol And why development slowed Down

    Jump

  • Then you get things like the platform you're on where in my case it resides in my house and lets me be that big scary admin/mod. Having the ability to purge bad content and actors from a central space is needed for anyone but the most thick skinned masochists to use a platform.

    Plenty of people just want to go talk/post without wading through a swamp of the crap that one uncle brings up at Thanksgiving on a regular basis.

  • Trump slapped with major lawsuit as Costco demands refund on his tariffs

    Jump

  • If anyplace would they might. They got a notable boost in traffic just by explicitly saying they wouldn't drop their DEI policy when that was his favorite tantrum.

  • Plebbit is the the most decentralized selfhosted social media protocol And why development slowed Down

    Jump

  • The system formerly known as Freenet has a module known as the web of trust that uses a similar model. It's interesting but runs into a problem of forcing users/hosts to propagate content and messaging they don't wish to be associated with.

    There's a reason places like gab or hexbear end up isolated islands, the general population has no desire to be preached to be the lunatic fringes.

  • Last I ever was hearing this pushed around the fedi the big 'sell' was that mods/admins can't delete posts making it a 'freeze peach' platform.

    The only people typically drawn to those are the people who tend to get banned for being intolerable on civilized platforms.

  • Trump rages over ‘seriously retarded Governor’ Tim Walz in furious Thanksgiving message

    Jump

  • “Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone”

    I've never met a Somali that wasn't a friendly sort having lived here my whole life. Had one bring in some of these pretty awesome dumpling things called sambusa(?) once to work just cause reasons. Very chill bunch far as I've ever seen.

  • Medicare announces price cuts for 15 prescription drugs, including Ozempic

  • You're going to try and compare lack of understanding about a mental condition to people physically getting wider?

  • Medicare announces price cuts for 15 prescription drugs, including Ozempic

    Jump

  • Didn't care about the specifics of a particular one over another. My take is that promoting the 'fix' of something via chemical intervention that wasn't a widespread problem until relatively recently is the wrong approach.

    This is not something caused by genetics or some novel disease targeting the USA public, it's a change in recent decades of our diets and lifestyles.

    Pills and shots of any sort are only masking the underlying issue, regardless of their mechanism.

  • Which is quite a lot of words to say eating too much no-nutrition highly processed fast food/easy-prep bullshit.

    I'm not disagreeing in the least that the mass of HFCS and salt laden garbage is a big driver of it. However, those things only are allowed to become the staples of our diets that they have because people are too complacent and willing to open the freezer rather than do a bit of whole food kitchen work.

    I've made it a point to learn what I can to avoid the loss of capability to make decent food for ourselves. As I say to my kids, I worry there'll be a day when Grandma's famous thanksgiving pie comes in a box from Sarah Lee.
