czech,

Yea, this is pretty frightening.

First up, he struck out a hyphen and the “20” in the reference to the 2024-25 school year. As a result, Wisconsin public schools will now get an annual funding increase of $325 per student until 2425.

So legislatures have to look out for riddles now. I'm sure you can use lines to make some bills do the complete opposite of their intention.

@fediverse Hi Fediverse! This is so much cooler than Reddit could dream.

czech,

@khazram Hello from kbin!

czech,

Good call. I'm setting up a Snikket server as I write this.

Judge rules White House pressured social networks to “suppress free speech” (arstechnica.com)

A federal judge yesterday ordered the Biden administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies, siding with Missouri and Louisiana in a lawsuit that alleges Biden and his administration violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks "to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and...

czech,

This is about attempts to stop folks from spreading provably wrong info online that's killing people. It's like protecting the free speech of someone yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

The headline is also overstated. Its a preliminary injunction and of course its from a Trump nominee.

But Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump nominee at US District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, granted the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction imposing limits on the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

czech,

That's fair.

czech,

Was it antiscience to say covid originated in a lab in China?

ok, sure.

Was it antiscience to say 2 weeks to flatten the curve was BS?

That was contingent on half the population not making it their identity to spread disease.

Was it antiscience to say cloth masks were ineffective?

Yes, it's been proven time and time again that cloth masks reduce transmission and severity.

Was it antiscience to question the long term efficacy of a drug that was not studied for the long term?

Yes, it is antiscience for laymen to question things they don't understand at all.

Was it antiscience to question the long term side effects of a drug that was not studied for the long term?

Same.

Started out pretty good though!

czech, (edited )

Do you understand why you can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater? Do you think that's a violation of your first amendment rights?

czech,

Sorry I didn't flesh it out.. Falsely yelling "fire" is not inherently illegal unless someone gets injured as a result. Millions of people died due to vaccine misinformation spread on social media.

czech,

You can do it from kbin if you need a holdover until its built into lemmy.

czech,

You can block all lemmynsfw posts on kbin by going to /d/lemmynsfw.com and using the block button. Not only will hosted content be blocked but text posts frim lemmynsfw won't show up either.

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean, though.

czech,

Navigate to /d/instance.to.block and you'll find a block button. You can also subscribe to all federated communities from the same page!

czech,

No, you only see federated communities that someone on your instance has subscribed to. So at first there is nothing but you can theoretically see every post by subscribing to every community in every instance.

czech,

Kbin.social had been having some issues in the last couple days between a server migration and a huge message backlog.

czech,

Activities are public and easily viewable on kbin. It's been interesting. Seems mostly positive other than people harassing those who down-vote them demanding explanations.

czech,

Yea, good call. I wonder if kbin makes them viewable because the activity pub protocol does not allow them to be easily hidden.

czech,

Kbin has normal upvote/downvotes since a recent update.

czech,

Consider that we're trending away from poop memes. It's not good but it's a step in the right direction.

Stupid Question, not an insult: Why is kbin written in PHP?

Is PHP still a relevant language in today's day and age? I know a LOT of languages and it just never occurred to me to learn this one, because anyone I've ever been aware of writing a backend these days would either choose Node or one of several compiled languages. Lemmy uses Rust for it's backend which is highly desireable,...

czech,

I think Ernest has mentioned that he used PHP for quick prototyping and eventually plans to rebuild with something else. If you look through his post history you'll find something.

czech,

I dont think its actually subbing the entire instance. Its just subbing all the content that the home instance is already a subscribed to.

czech,

Try federating your account to kbin.social first by searching Username@babka.social from your kbin account. I dont believe this search actually federates an entire instance, it just subscribes you to content that is already federating from a particular instance.

czech,

You aren't necessarily viewing all of an instances posts this way- you're just viewing all posts from a particular instance that are federated with your instance. You can see different /d/lemmy.world feeds from different kbin instances, for example, depending on which lemmy communities are federated with that instance.

czech,

So far what I've figured out is you can follow people on mastodon by searching for them from kbin. Eg: news@mastodon.social. Those posts show up in the microblog on my homepage. The random posts may be from the "random" magazine; that's where most of my microblog stuff was originally coming from.

Edit: sorry, skipped your question- I haven't actually found a way to follow hashtags from kbin, yet.

czech,

This sounds awesome. Can't wait to check it out after work!

AOC urges Congress to consider 'subpoenas' if Chief Justice Roberts won't testify about SCOTUS gift scandal (www.businessinsider.com)

Article- Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised the possibility that Congress should consider subpoenaing Chief Justice John Roberts if he stands by his refusal to testify about ethical questions hanging over the high court....

czech,

They will already do everything they can get away with, without worrying about the other side is doing. If the courts can be packed then they will pack them regardless of what dems do.
