We are operating with different definitions, I guess. Vladimir Putin absolutely is a Russian “elite” under my world view.

Who are those with “a lot of money to throw at it” that are not the elites?

Why would the CCP care negatively even if they didn’t have the details and learned of this for the first time from the GN video?

Doesn’t fit the anti Microsoft narrative, must be fake news.

He was described as having better access than Republican senators. He had the ear of the president. He had millions of followers. They are flying the flag at half mast. The president called him legendary. Look at the outpouring of support for his family.

What do you mean there was nothing special about him? Prior to his death he was considered in the top5 important people to the maga movement. Stop living in ignorance and look around you.

“our employees aren’t spending our money fast enough! We need to send more of our money to Sam Altman! Fire the none users”

It just doesn’t make sense

The only moral theft is my theft.

Honestly, not bad. Better roi than I was expecting.

A friend who is local to the area asked one of the guardsmen and supposedly their firearms aren’t loaded. This circus gets worse every day.

At the risk of sounding like I support ice, I think she probably should have been turned away at the border, but not detained.

Her and the kids treatment is inhumane, but she failed to renew a critical visa and traveled without the ability to reenter the country legally. Should she and her kid be detained in Texas for weeks? No. Should she be freely allowed back into the US? No not until she gets the right visa.

A sane system would help her get that visa asap so she can continue being a productive member of the country.

I challenge any reader of this comment to try and enter any foreign country without the correct travel visa.

So what changed with Lemmy then? A few months back when I joined the ecosystem many instances including LW were unreachable for many hours a day. Joining up to a new instance didn’t make LW content appear (as they were offline).

The issues today feel largely the same as a user, though less frequent. Am I misunderstanding?

If the instance that hosts those communities goes down or struggles to stay afloat won’t it struggle to federate its content outside its own network?

If I join another instance and lemmy.world is down, it’s not like I can see the communities on lemmy.world.

Joining another instance as a user doesn’t solve the problem that lemmy.world has bad uptime outside of the scope of reducing the load on LW itself

objectively be more secure in terms of data privacy

Please elaborate how email would be objectively more secure if you could block Gmail.

You can already block Gmail today from any other provider by putting a filter on incoming @gmail addresses. How does that make email more secure?

This thread isn’t about kbin though. We don’t need to clutch pearls about other services on fediverse when discussing what happens with Lemmy instances.

Thanks! I wish I had this info for an old build.

Sidebar: Kind of silly how you and others are tripping over yourselves to include something against win11 while providing tech support. As if you’d be a pariah if you didn’t include some disdain.

“Here’s some win11 troubleshooting advice, not that I’d ever be caught using it! ;)”

Sorry, I’m not the op who suggested originally.

Dungeons and Daddies is available on most podcast streaming services but they have a significant number of hilarious patreon exclusives (some of which are teased on the public platforms).

It’s all about context though. $2000 is substantial to much of the people who live on this planet. You’re right about that amount in investment returns would be considered small, but the people who this amount is significant don’t usually have investments to rely on.

Equifax does about 5b in revenue and $120m in profit.

What a small fine :(

Dungeons and Daddies

Awesome, thanks for the details. Bummer that your plan changed you really had it worked out :(
