Everyone is saying this is propaganda. I think its possible there’s an even stupider reason.
Trump is so nakedly easy to manipulate sometimes. This might be the ego fluffing he needs to reverse the ban.
Trump’s terrible politics aside:
the Republican party is pushing legislation which requires you to identify yourself to view porn
you can get around this with a VPN
proton is a VPN (nonprofit, but still).
I’ll be switching email providers when I can… I can’t remember when my subscription ends.
Did u run across this thread?
This seemed to work for me (I am in a similar situation) but ultimately failed only because (I believe) I have multiple drives and windows tries to incorrectly install on my nvme despite having an efi prepared on an SSD. Seems to be no way to specify the drive for bcdboot. I’m trying again when I have time off. It seems I may need to pull all unnecessary drives to get it on the right one.
Anyway good luck
Edit: I assume bcdboot defaults to my nvme in my specific case because after I tried restoring the boot partition:
i gave up and I nuked all partitions on my windows ssd.
I attempted a clean windows install on the ssd while Linux (with it’s own boot partition) lives on the nvme
It creates a new partition layout on the ssd complete with efi parition
then it poops its pants without installing anything to the boot partition it just created. Windows completely refuses to install now.
Many news sources are reporting that it is a real tweet.
Apparently the tweet has been deleted. If its fake its bamboozled dozens of reputable news outlets. Looks real to me.
I’m not sure why you’re being down voted because you’re right… maybe its just that bit at the end of your reply.
FTA, large insurance companies are required to insure risky homes if they want to do business in the state at all. Since they can’t use catastrophe models or reinsurance they have to spread the risk over every home they insure in the state. So, people living in risky areas are having the cost of insurance subsidized by people living in less risky areas.
This creates perverse intensives. Peeps are just going to rebuild in areas with high fire risk… right? Want a big mansion in the woods? No problem! We can just rebuild if it catches on fire! Paid for by the public!
I don’t know what the answer is, but the insurance companies just aren’t at fault on this one. If you take issue with the increased rates, your problem is with climate change, and a housing system that requires insurance to function (houses are so expensive that we pay with mortgages, which require insurance).
Lloyd should move.
There is an image to a shop page:
This link is broken. Hmm… If this were a real organization that needed money, wouldn’t they either shut this site down entirely or fix their shop page?
Notice the LOL acronym. Now visit this page:
Here are some of my favorites (notice most of these children are pretty talented and drawing with computer programs in 2010):
Edit: I should have grabbed the image with “shotacat” lmao
Holy shit. I can’t believe I recognize this art.
This shit is ancient, and it was drawn as satire/bait. Nobody is handing out these flyers seriously. This post is rather embarrassing. Satire is dead I guess.
Edit: sources:
Source for text: scroll for text. I don’t know where the goat went. This website is a high-effort satire page that hasn’t been updated since like 2010. Looks real at first glance but just click around, it’s clearly not a real church.
If I stole $62 million dollars (fta, Bilzerian owes this as his original amount), I’d be thrown in jail.
They’ve let this guy dick around for 31 years and haven’t gotten the public’s money back.
The USA has extradition with St Kitts and Nevis as far as I can tell. Running away to a tax shelter island (a British commonwealth, for fucks sake) shouldn’t be enough for the USA to shrug it’s sholders and give up.
The capitalist class plays by different rules. Don’t let them get away with excuses like this.
Do you fuck dudes?
I don’t, I’m married
Alright, sure.
I’ll bite.
(edit: my eating popcorn picture isn’t working and I gave up making it work)
Alright well, I’ll have my popcorn bucket ready when db0 defederates from awful.systems for “authoritarianism” over snark coms. Keep me posted.
I hardly think it’s suddenly different, it’s just actually different. It’s two different scenarios.
By the way, my dad works at nintendo and can beat up your dad.
I’d argue that would be a power trip, friend, because he’s made a major change to the rules without his user’s permission. And, many people outside that instance depend on db0’s communities, which are large and varied. Very unlike many communities at awful.systems, which are meant for venting, snark, and sneering down your nose at people, warranted or unwarranted.
Everyone at awful.systems likely agrees with the moderation of the admins or they would not be there.
I didn’t check the instance rules
Mistakes happen, but it is on you.
I don’t care enough to beg for readmission.
But you do care enough to type words and words and words somewhere else, no?
I’m just pointing out that they are being weird
I politely disagree. What you’re viewing as mechanical censorship is just community curation to them. Part of “power tripping” implies they are abusing power, and I don’t see them preventing you from participating with anything you appreciate. There’s plenty of other AI communities on lemmy.
In summary, a comic:
I think Skiluros is right on the money, but I’m just going to point out something. (Disclamer: I am a regular reader of tech takes and I enjoy their snarky negativity)
You walked into a hater’s club with a rule of “no debates”, debated the regular posters, and got banned. Is it heavy handed? Maybe, but it is low-effort moderation. I get the feeling if they didn’t moderate similarly to this, they would be able to preserve the vibe of the place (and you are not obligated to like or agree with this vibe). They’re allowed to have their own corner of the internet.
I think they’d probably reverse it if you asked them to. I base this on the idea that instance bans are easy to hand out, and asking politely for an unban is something most banned people don’t bother to do. I could be wrong.
I bet they get absolutely flooded with folks who just want to debate instead of joining in on the sneering. It’s gotta be way lower effort to just ban people. It’s not like there’s any large communities on that instance (Look at their local front page: buttcoin, sneerclub, techtakes. All hater’s clubs, many posts months old on “active” setting), so I don’t think they’re doing real harm, either. It’s not like you were instance banned from like, lemmy.world or something.
There’s plenty of other communities to discuss AI on lemmy. IMHO, you’re just missing the point of techtakes. You don’t have to agree with them, just like they aren’t required to refute your youtube video.
I feel the need to say I completely agree with you. Normally when people quote me I think they are arguing with me idk.
fistbump
Edit: Tell me why you are downvoting me, you cowards!
And? Does this mean he is immune to criticism because he’s not Trump? This is a pretty big fuckup, even if it’s an accident.
oh! it’s you!
The person on reddit that starts all comments with “well actually,”
Can I have an autograph?
This is how I do it. I don’t recommend roku though, its covered in ads and it crashes sometimes and requires reboot (Amazon app, not jellyfin)
I’m not purchasing another.
Yes I have a pihole for the ads. The thing is always trying to radio home.
