and he was a fair bit of a regular.
That's the wildest part to me. You'd think if you're into that kind of stuff you'd learn to repair your own equipment that hosts some of the most illegal content one could possess.
Somewhere I have a picture of it saved, but as a Sys Admin for an office one person had so much dead skin piled on their mouse I gagged. It formed the shape of their fingers on the buttons and the dead skin was, not exaggerating, like 4-5 millimeters thick of caked-on yellow disgustingness. Mind you, we provide new mice for people to use in the office for any reason, they just need to let us know and ask. There was no reason for this other than the person just being a Nurgle initiate or some shit. People are gross.
because I’m a minor or something.
That's a pretty big something tbh, it makes sense that a mod/admin might not want a minor making sexual jokes on their instance. I'm sorry that happened and as much as it sucks for self expression it's something to keep in mind until you're eighteen because it might happen again.
My mom who I haven't seen in like six years is coming to stay with me for a little under a week. She hasn't seen me in person since I transitioned but is supportive despite her conservative leanings. She's also visiting me in here in Portland from where she lives in Texas so there's a double layer of "everything is okay, the city is not on fire" plus all the new trans stuff she's going to be asking about. So it'll be a week of doing my best to be an LGBTQ encyclopedia and Portland advocate while catching up with my mom. It should be okay, but it's going to be stressful 🥲
Yeah, when Digg did the dumb thing all those years ago Reddit didn't start eclipsing it for another two or three years. This feels very similar to that time tbh. Lemmy will get there, but I imagine it'll take longer due to its fragmented nature scaring some non-techies so I'd guess four years and we'll see numbers to rival Reddit. If you care about that, I kind of like the smaller communities, honestly.
Too bad there's not a RemindMe Bot on Lemmy yet, this would be perfect for that lol
I get it, my sister got bugs in her home before from a hoarder neighbor and I've known somebody who had to move due to a fire caused by a different hoarder so I understand why they'd want/need to do this. But I feel like this falls under the inspection notification laws, at least my state has it where they need to inform you 24 hours before any inspection. So they should've sent out a notification 24 hours before flying the drone over and it would've been fine IMO. I'm not saying this guy was a hoarder either though, the insurance company wouldn't release their photos so we can't say if that's actually the case one way or the other. But I'm fine with them using drones tbh.
I want Star Citizen... The Star Citizen that was promised in the Kickstarter... Still waiting.
I don't mind too much, I didn't know TorGuard was blocking that traffic or logging American users but now I do. So I appreciate the article in that regard but the post should've been titled like "Reminder that TorGuard tracks American users" or something rather than being presented as new info imo.
Most of my life we never cared about this kind of stuff
You just described privilege very nicely, well done. Other people have to care about this stuff or we lose human rights.
K, you should. To make sure you're not supporting a piece of shit by giving them your time, clicks, and views. But you do you if you're okay supporting potential bigots.
It's not even a high effort task, just find the name of the podcast and add "political leanings" or something similar in the web search. It's the minimal effort required to be an informed consumer.
Man everything is political ~~these days~~
Always has been.
Main points of how they're moving forward on these issues.
This is great to see, the Biden admin has been doing a way better job than I thought they would going into the presidency. Still a long ways off from what I'd ideally want to see but moves like this are always welcome.
