Is someone falling for this crap? in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

What a coincidence! I'm the fediverse dude!

Good luck out there in c/memes@lemmy.world

This 100%. I've worked in some sort of IT all my life. It took what I lived and turned it into a job.

Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Good call. The greenest purchase you can make is fixing the thing you already own.

Lemmy users across the world, what is your favourite local dish ? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] stinerman@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ohio.

Cincinnati-style chilli (ie., Skyline). It's an acquired taste but once you like it it's like crack.

Can you draw the Simpsons from memory (and post the results to the thread)? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

My brother in christ, I can't draw them even if you let me trace them.

Will LibreWolf be affected by Firefox's new Terms of Service? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] stinerman@midwest.social 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You can't put terms of service on a web page and bind people to it. Otherwise I could put up a site somewhere and say everyone who reads this owes me a dollar.

The terms are only enforceable when they are presented to the user before they use the software. My copy of Librewolf doesn't present any terms to me so I am not bound by anything other than the redistribution license.

IANAL but all this is pretty common sense. You can't add terms by posting them where the user wouldn't see them. And Librewolf explains very clearly that it is not Firefox and is not a Mozilla product.

What is your personal most hated company or corporation? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Any company Elon Musk is the owner of.

Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Reminds me of the Rule of Goats:

If you fuck a goat ironically, you're still fucking a goat. Same goes with ironic Hitler salutes.

Democrats Blocked From Entering Capitol Building Due to 'Push' Door Labeled 'Pull' (reductress.com)
 

Reporters gathered at the scene noted that by “putting [his] body on the line,” this particular lawmaker apparently just meant standing at the back of a quiet group and playing online chess on his phone.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signs bill to restrict bathroom access for transgender students (www.dispatch.com)
 

I'm sorry to all the trans people who live in Ohio and might visit here that have to deal with our shitty politicians.

From the article: The new law will require K-12 and college students at public and private schools to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their sex assigned at birth. It also bans multi-occupancy gender neutral restrooms and prevents transgender students from sharing overnight accommodations with peers of the same gender.

Jesus Christ, dude.

Ex-Columbus police officer Adam Coy guilty of murder in death of Andre Hill (www.dispatch.com)
 

Of interest is that Coy was out on bond, which was revoked after the guilty verdict. The FOP and the defense lawyer both think that it's unreasonable for an officer to know a suspect has a weapon before shooting them.

Isn't insulting russians against most instances policies? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] stinerman@midwest.social 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you think it's a violation, report it. If they do nothing with it...you're out of luck.

The rules for any instance boil down to, at their most basic level, "every moderation decision is up to the people who run their instance, and there is no appeal."

It seems like fedia.io is a difference instance. You can ask lemmy.world to defederate from them. You can also block the instance yourself. Go to your settings and at the bottom block the instance.
