Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

It’s not exactly the same complaint at all. You got a single comment removed from a single thread by a single moderator.

The equivalent would be if the admin of lemmy.world stepped in and not only banned you from World News but also every single other LW community you posted in, out of spite.

I’ve defended lemmy.ml in the past when people have blamed the entire instance for the actions of a solitary, overzealous moderator, but this genuinely concerns me:

This must have been action taken at the instance admin level, considering all those communities have different moderators.

Is there any way to probe the modlog to see which account it was?

That certainly is news to me. After all these years and the almost total lack of hydrogen infrastructure in the US, I had assumed that it was considered a dead end.

That said, it does makes sense; I hadn’t considered that hydrogen tech was more in competition with ICEs than with EVs.

Yup.

It’s not so much of a problem for brand new models but there are still many older ones that suffer from battery failure and degradation outside of warranty.

My armchair-psychologist explanation is because Trump is a textbook narcissist.

Individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder typically have a fragile self-esteem and a high sensitivity to perceived slights or criticisms. When they feel wronged or humiliated, they often react with intense anger and a desire for retribution in order to restore their self-image and sense of superiority.

Bless Jon Stewart. It’s so refreshing to see someone accurately describe how things actually are in the US’ utterly batshit political/media landscape.

That one, I’ll grant you.

The casting choices are just so weird. Across the board.

It has been a common belief in philosophical circles for centuries, but not among physicists. Both Newton and Einstein thought of time as being one of the fundamental properties of the physical universe.

However, in the past decade or two, some theoretical physicists have now come back around to the idea that space and time could instead be emergent properties of a deeper, underlying reality.

If you really want to go cross-eyed, read up on the holographic principle.

Because they are traditional gentlesirs who think that feminism has ruined western women and therefore yearn for a cute, child-like, and submissive female partner who does not threaten their fragile sense of masculinity?

I dunno, just guessing.

And that’s just the number according to Israel. Gaza officials claim over two hundred.

Judge flags Facebook post claiming inside access to Trump verdict (www.bbc.com)

The US judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush-money case in New York City has written a letter to prosecutors and the former president’s defence team about a Facebook post in which a person claims to have known the jury’s decision before it became public....

It’s a bit premature to be making that prediction. If no further evidence comes forth that it isn’t a random shitposter, then it’s a complete nothingwurst.

Cool. Will definitely be giving blendOS a spin in a VM.

Follow-up question: I’m in the US and the initial installation is taking forever. Pacman seems to be running at just 60-80 KiB/s when I normally get 5MiB/s. IS there a way to have the installer choose a local mirror before downloading all the packages?

aleph, (edited )
@aleph@lemm.ee avatar

Ok, thanks for the heads-up. I’m running it in a local VM and for some reason my host Arch system is significantly faster at downloading and installing packages than the blendOS guest. Not sure why, but just thought I’d mention it.

Edit: never mind, I messed up the first installation so had to do-over, and the slow download speed seems to have recovered this time.

Very intriguing. Is there a wiki or support forum in the works, too?

Great article. That’s the thing that people who dismiss Trump supporters as simply idiots or racists are missing - Trump took all those feelings of disenfranchisement and isolation and channeled them into a movement.

If only Washington spent more time, energy, and money on the real issues affecting quality of life in the US instead of funding military wars aboard and culture wars at home.

The party that revolutionized political lawfare and has gone after their political rivals via the criminal justice system on several occasions is now clutching their pearls and heralding the end of American democracy?

The audacity.

I’d be interested in buying a Nothing phone if they weren’t all so huge.

aleph,
@aleph@lemm.ee avatar

Possibly, lol. Although going from Samsung’s to their own completely custom silicon will be the best chance of seeing some actual improvements.

aleph,
@aleph@lemm.ee avatar

Meh, who cares about performance benchmarks for phones?

I’m much more interested to see how power efficient Tensor 4 is, and whether or not they’ve fixed the connectivity issues.
