I mean… the article says the seller was located in China and using a pseudonym to communicate over Telegram and accepting payments in cryptocurrency. All to ship precursor chemicals in packages disguised as electronics. I wouldn’t exactly be surprised if the seller didn’t have a return policy.
If you’re posting on .world, I believe it’s the server. Lots of sites ban blocks of IPs associated with VPNs due to bad actors using them. You can sometimes avoid this by changing VPN servers.
Yeah I love mine. After having one of the 2017s that suffered from the infamous keyboard issues as my work machine, the apple silicon ones feel like a return to quality engineering. I really hope they don’t screw around with that.
Notably, the MacBook Pro got thicker and heavier with its most recent redesign in 2021. That redesign corresponded with the MacBook Pro’s transition to Apple Silicon, as well as the return of ports such as MagSafe, HDMI, and an SD card slot.
Yeah and the chunky MBP is fucking dope. It has loads of ports, great battery life, doesn’t burn with the intensity of 10,000 suns under load, and feels incredibly sturdy.
Yeah. Good job dealing with Nordic Nazis, government, now please also take care of the American ones.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist or suggesting that there’s any connection between these events, but does anyone else find it kind of nuts how two notable government officials have died in aviation accidents this year?
Sure, to an extent. ActivityPub is an independent protocol not controlled by lemmy or any lemmy devs, so there’s a layer of protection there. This is also a trick that can only be pulled once, because any other instances would likely defederate in response and ML would render itself irreparably untrustworthy. I don’t mean to downplay your concerns as they are valid, but I also don’t think it’s an existential threat.
I don’t agree with the “hiding the problem” notion because different instances are independently operated, and defederation is the by-design way to “fix” malignant instances (see the LW defed of hexbear and lemmygrad for exactly this kind of behavior).
As for the whole system not being safe, I’d also disagree on that point as the entire lemmy server code is licensed under a copyleft license which allows anyone with a copy of the code to modify and distribute it. Ergo, hard forking lemmy is possible. Based on the github page, over 800 individuals already have forks of the server code. Any one of them, group of them, or some other individuals entirely, could pick up lemmy development and run with it if need be.
As you say OP, the solution here is to use the fediverse model as intended and use different instances/communities. It sucks because it fragments the community, but that’s the way it is. I’ve long held the opinion that I’m grateful to the lemmy developers for building this whole thing that we all get to enjoy, but their approach to administering an instance is reprehensible and actively damaging to the relatively free and open exchange of ideas that should happen on the fediverse.
Perhaps I’m more sensitive to tramadol, because for me it does slightly dull pain, but also makes me profoundly drowsy and itchy. I took it for one day after being prescribed and decided that tylenol was a better option.
Yeah… that’s insane. I recently had surgery and was administered a small dose of fentanyl via IV while being held in post-op, I was also prescribed tramadol for pain management afterwards. Both drugs turned me into a zombie on their own. I can’t imagine mixing both, and also layering on weed, as a recreational substance.
There was a hearing in Byrne’s case in federal court in Washington, D.C., at 3 p.m. Monday. Lambert attended the hearing despite the warrant.
After the hearing concluded, all lawyers and observers, except for Lambert, exited the meeting room and U.S. marshals entered.
LOL
Poor Mike Johnson …
I thought we didn’t know anything about his finances because he never submitted supposedly required paperwork upon getting elected. (I’m playing on words here but my point stands)
You made your bed chucklefuck Mike, now lay in it.
Excellent - Democrats should get the aid for Ukraine secured then continue pushing the border issue loudly so that it becomes obvious for those in the back of the room that Republicans are just using it as fodder for the election.
Good.
Americans who don’t want a fascist takeover need to realize that FPTP does not give a single shit about your third-party candidate with ~1% of the vote. Sorry, it hurts but it’s true. If you fail to back Biden, you enable trump. It really is that simple. Is it healthy for our democracy? Hell no - but using the 2024 ballot box to make that statement is foolish, irresponsible, and dangerous. Sometimes the lesser of two evils is the best choice you’re going to get.
MTG: Go fuck yourself! You’re gonna feel the wrath of… (sniff, sniff)
Biden: (offering a handful of oats) You hungry?
MTG: (vigorous munching) Neiiiiiigh
Biden: There there, looks like somebody just had a grumbly tummy (brushes her mane)
MTG: Whinnie!
Gaetz: (crushing an adderall and a viagra into a can of Red Bull, all while resembling Butthead) [incoherent mumbling]
I don’t know why I wrote this and I could press delete, but sharing is caring.
How long until Donnie boy starts trying to dodge the debates because of “these corrupt political sham trials” and his fanatical followers lap it up?
That is just sheer comedic prowess right there.
This is basically what I’ve been telling people for years. Prototype in Python to get the concepts down, then when you’re serious about the project, write it in a serious language.
