Old, large, cranky. Gotta go to the bathroom.

Did Trump let Americans die purely for political purposes? (www.rawstory.com)

of at least a half-million Americans is to argue — nonsensically — that the virus came out of the Wuhan virology lab and therefore something, something, something Trump is not responsible. He’s doing this with House Oversight Committee hearings this week.

Why is this even phrased as a question?

Lemmy.world Admin Response to Meta/Threads

There has been significant discussion in recent weeks regarding Meta/Threads. We would like to express our disappointment with the negative and threatening tone of some of these discussions. We kindly ask everyone to engage in civil discourse and remember that not everyone will share the same opinions, which is perfectly...

Zactly right.

Well, it’s nice that the creator of this bot is a nice guy, but most bots suck and this is a bot that sucks. I don’t need “a bot designed to increase content created on Lemmy, to try and jump-start communities, and make Lemmy overall a more enjoyable place.” Cordially, bloop and bleep and fuck that shit. I’ve blocked L4s.

Hmmm. If they invalidate someone’s driver’s license, for reasons that have nothing to do with their driving, I don’t think all the illegal immigrants are going to park their cars and stop driving. When there’s an accident, though, they’ll be much more likely to flee the scene.

Thanks for 'splaining it. I shall toss no more rocks at Lemmy’s windows.

Maybe some people can read a book and listen to music at the same time, but I’m not smart enough. The music bleeds into the book, and it becomes Treasure of the Sierra Madre with Pink Floyd, which is completely different from Treasure of the Sierra Madre, if you catch what I drop.

My guesstimate is that Reddit — with BotDefense up and running — was at least 20% bots posting articles and then bots having conversations about those bot-posted articles. Without BotDefense? Yikes.

Homelessness certainly does have an easy solution, but it’s expensive and we’re not willing to spend the money.

Biden is pretty unambiguously awful, and only looks good against any Republican. AOC is doing the right thing here, but long-term we have got to get rid of these cobwebheaded oldsters and move on to the next generation, or the generation after.

When we do, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be a good choice.

Which opinion, sorry. There were a few in there… :)

Biden is awful, from a left perspective, and I’m of the left. I imagine for middle-of-the-roadsters, though, Biden’s the yellow line.

Threads is not involved at all with the Fediverse, but Facebook/Instagram/Threads top schmuck Zuck says he wants Threads intertwined.

Let’s hope he’ll be shown the door and booted. His only goal would be to monetize us.

The fine will be trivial, Starbucks will pay it and continue breaking the law. It’s a dance they’ve been dancing a long time.

I have no idea how difficult or feasible that would be, but it’s one of the Reddit baseline features I miss. And there aren’t many, really.

What Republicans care about most, apparently, is that that someone somewhere has a boner over something they think isn’t bonerworthy, and even worse, the bonerholder isn’t ashamed of it…

My settings are, as OP states, drop-down defaults to “Select Language” with “Undetermined” and “English”. And still I get posts in languages I don’t know — not lots, but obviously they’re useless to me, and I’d prefer blocking such posts.

They make money off the posts. If they suck in federated posts, they can monetize them.

Old guy here, wondering what Scandinavian Airlines has to do with any of this. Seriously, what’s SAS?

Ah, you’re probably right. I mostly hate Edge because I never chose it, downloaded it, or installed it, and of course it can’t be deleted. It triggers all my “intruder alerts”.

I have used it some at work, and hate it, but that’s mostly because work wouldn’t let me install adblockers.

I dislike almost every Microsoft product, and always prefer the alternatives, but que sera sera. :) I don’t doubt that it works.

We’re required to use Microsoft Teams at my office, and oy, what an endless annoyance. If you’re in an MS environment all day, can you tell me how to make Teams understand that I’ve read something? All day every day, any time there’s a message in Teams, I spend five seconds reading it, then ten seconds trying to get Teams to stop marking it “unread.”

Agreed about Firefox, except I love it so much I haven’t given up on it. I just can’t. Been using Firefox since 1957. When a site doesn’t work, I jump to Chrome and it’s almost invariably OK. Only a slight hassle, plus that I hate Chrome too.

I (intentionally) missed the latest season of the show, so I’m sure some of this whizzed right over my head, but the rest of it’s marvelous. :)
