Would’ve preferred a Max win

I know. When will the poor lad start winning some races?

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up.

It’s not exactly the same complaint at all. You got a single comment removed from a single thread by a single moderator.

The equivalent would be if the admin of lemmy.world stepped in and not only banned you from World News but also every single other LW community you posted in, out of spite.

I think you have a very different definition of “perfectly reasonable” than most people.

I’ve defended lemmy.ml in the past when people have blamed the entire instance for the actions of a solitary, overzealous moderator, but this genuinely concerns me:

This must have been action taken at the instance admin level, considering all those communities have different moderators.

Is there any way to probe the modlog to see which account it was?

Mastodon has a major engagement problem and I’m not sure why.

It has significantly more users than Lemmy but also manages to feel a lot less social, somehow.

I use FLAC for long-term storage, 256kbps Ogg when transcoding for mobile devices.

Opus is the best lossy codec in terms of efficiency, but many devices/apps don’t properly support it.

Yeah, without evidence that Activision/CoD were intentionally in cahoots with arms manufacturers, this is pretty flimsy.

I do think the case against Daniel Defense is stronger, though. I can see a legitimate argument being made that guns should not be advertised directly at teenagers and young men, and that firearms shouldn’t be advertised on social media in general.

In the video, the CEO specifically claims that the device contains a proprietary AI that can do all sorts of things, when in fact it appears to be ChatGPT with a bunch of hard-coded scripts slapped on top. If that’s indeed the case, then it would be an obvious scam and most likely fraud.

Except Debian is neither interesting nor innovative.

Divestment from Israel can take many forms, depending on the institution. Some colleges may be directly involved with Israeli companies, or receive funding from them, while others may simply have a broad investment portfolio that includes Israeli companies, or just Western companies that also do business with Israel.

So it’s not like all colleges and universities in the US are all supporting Israel in the same way, and therefore divesting from Israel can vary in terms of how complicated the process would be.

So there would be no practical benefits of switching?

I understood some of those words…

Here’s my favorite quick and not-too-tricky recipe for beef chilli. It’s healthy, delicious, and can last you for days. The only equipment you need is a stove, a large pot, a ladle or spatula, and a can opener.

1. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to pot, on medium heat
2. Add 1/2 large white onion (chopped) and 1 bell pepper (chopped) and cook on medium heat for about four minutes (while stirring regularly). 
3. Add 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped) and 2 tbsp of tomato paste. Stir everything and cook for a couple of minutes.
4. Add 2 lb of ground beef and cook until broken up and browned (about 7 minutes on med-high).
5. Add 2 can of chopped tomatoes & 1 can of tomato sauce 
6. Add 1 can of black beans
7. Add 1 can of pinto beans
8. Add 1 can of kidney beans
9. Season with 2 tbsp. chili powder.
10. Season with 1 tbsp dried oregano
11. Season with 2 tbsp ground cumin
12. Season with 2 tbsp ground coriander 
13. Add salt, pepper, and (optional) Worcestershire sauce to taste
14. Continue to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring thoroughly once every five minutes

The secret to cooking good rice is to soak it in water (even 5 minutes will do) and then rinse it to remove the excess starch. Then add fresh water and cook it. Don’t take the lid off the pan so the steam cooks it properly. A rice cooker will simplify this process but all you really need is a pan with a lid.

Not self hosting - just using the web app.

Also PairDrop. I tested a few of these sharing apps and found this one to be slightly better for reasons that I can no longer remember.

This didn’t happen to OP, and it isn’t recent - look at the report date.

This happened back in 2021 and apparently blew up on Reddit and Twitter, causing OpSec to release a public statement that claimed that the DMCA notice was a fake.

And 24/192 vinyl rips.

Just to be clear, these are the most popular metal bands from each country, according to worldwide listening stats, correct?
