This community is for photography and interesting images. This isn’t the place for shitposts about trump overshadowing quality posts. There’s already 10 other communities people can go to for that....
Another way to look at this: I’d rather allow some junk posts than be strict and without much content. Let Lemmy grow before the communities become very specific and strict.

Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) President Luis Rubiales has admitted he “made a mistake” by giving Spain star Jennifer Hermoso a surprise kiss on the lips after the 33-year-old received her gold medal following the team’s Women’s World Cup final victory over England on Sunday....
Yes and no. Victims aren’t always free to speak their minds. She said she didn’t mind but this is regarded as a preservation tactic due to a sexist environment.
I’m sorry, the quote correct is this. So she’s not saying she didn’t mind, but more like ‘let’s move on’, which is a similar downplaying of what happened. The point was that her opinion isn’t all-important, because she has an interest in keeping her career.
The president and I have a great relationship, his behaviour with all of us has been outstanding and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.
A gesture of friendship and gratitude cannot be gone over so much, we have won a World Cup and we are not going to deviate from what is important.
Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.
I’d stand on a mafioso’s tail - it’s a power move, they respect that.
Straight from the book “how to make a boring scene more interesting without fixing the underlying scene layout problem that gave you the boring scene in the first place”.
This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole...
Don’t care, tbh. I would prefer if people would be less uptight on these things. Let people have Lemmy and Discord, if they want. They’ll get there, if we stop being dicks to people who are still finding out.
You can call out the hypocrisy without minimizing her suffering. “They saw your bits, so what” is a ridiculous response to having your private sex videos shared with everyone you know
That doesn’t mean this case is no big deal. Poor woman.
I do agree that the large amount is silly because the guy is probably not a billionaire. Hopefully they will increase punishments for corporations and rich people-- oh wait, they won’t. That’s fucked up, but not related to this case
I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what...
“Engagement” in a social media context. Most of the time, I’m not engaging with anything, really. You wouldn’t say you’re engaging with your newspaper when you’re reading it, or engaging with your TV by changing the channel. It’s ridiculous
I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?
A federal judge has blocked the state of Hawaii from enforcing a recently enacted ban on firearms on its prized beaches and in other areas including banks, bars and parks, citing last year’s landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanding gun rights.
Droidcam uses your phone camera as a webcam. Your phone camera is usually pretty good. Now you don’t have to buy a ridiculously overpriced webcam anymore, just some cheap phone holder.
That’s for Mac, it’s similar. The latency is fine. I just wanted to answer the question because a decent webcam is more than a hundred dollars which is insane to me.
[Meta] Can we ban political posts?

It's probably more difficult for kids to throw house parties nowadays when their parents are out of town due to how accessible security cameras are.

Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse?
