Yeah, but while this would be news for anyone else, it’s just a normal Thursday for Winston. I was expecting something that was worse than what he would normally say!
It sounds like they edited it out, possibly after legal threats? I’m not sure how they think they would get in trouble for quoting something that was actually said.
I’m not sure that’s quite the situation. If you told someone I was a fraud, then they told others I was a fraud, that person wouldn’t be protected.
However, RNZ is not making claims about they guy, they would be saying that Winston made claims about the guy, which is a true statement easily provable.
I’d guess that this might be a line RNZ just aren’t willing to test since court cases are expensive even if you don’t lose.
If I Had $1000000
We wouldn’t have to walk to the store
If I Had $1000000
We’d take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I Had $1000000
We wouldn’t have to eat Kraft Dinner.
(But we would eat Kraft Dinner. Of course we would, we’d just eat more.
And buy really expensive ketchup with it.
That’s right, all the fanciest Dijon Ketchup. Mmmmmm.)
I’ve seen a number of posts lately like “How to get yadda yadda yadda” but when you click, the content is actually a question about the subject line, which sucks....
Hi. So when I’m watching a tv show or movie, and it hits me in the feels, I will think something like “Oh, this movie is wholesome, or this tv show is wholesome” Even if it has swearing in it, as long as the message is a good one. I’ve been on Lemmy now a couple days, and I rate lemmy super-duper wholesome. Maybe it was...
My guess is that Lemmy trends towards an older audience (average age is probably 30s), and also a lot of Lemmy come from similar walks of life (many are very technical or work in IT and similar).
You don’t find many people arguing over political differences, either. Generally people agree rather than having divisive opinions.
Also definitely playing into it is that many social media platforms are deliberately divisive as it drives usage higher.
I find this a weird thing to worry about. $300k across 6 years is $50k per year. They have over 10k staff so that’s $5 per staff member per year. It sounds like incredible value!
The more I read into this, the more I’m not sure what exactly they won. There are lots of divisions, did they win their division or is there an overall place? Which division did they compete in?
Edit: results here. Looks like they won the International Open 5.

In the lemmy web UI I believe it is. But it’s not the only way to access lemmy, there are other website frontends and a bunch of apps which all can have different ways of doing things.
The Stratford-revered glockenspiel has stood proud in the main street, Broadway, since it officially opened in 1996, but it had stopped working over the weekend....
Wow you must have some awesome google-fu! I’m not sure if search engines can be blamed, since the Wikipedia disambiguation page doesn’t mention this kind of glockenspiel.
I don’t think it would help us estimate, though, because it depends on quality of manufacture and some of them were made like a century ago. I’ll just have to hope for the best!
