Do you have a noscript extension or a JavaScript blocker on? That was the only way I was able to replicate your problem just from a bit of testing. You can browse using old.lemmy.ca (the old reddit-like theme mlmym) without JavaScript. Try it and see if it works for you.

FYI: Bumping didn’t bring it to my feed, probably would only for people sorting by “New Comments”. I won’t lie, I was just checking your history to see how long you’ve been logging in for, just to tell people this site sucks in unrelated comment sections.

Just FYI: this was also posted 3 days ago to this community right when it dropped.

I still read it again and it’s just as funny.

and get my haircut elsewhere

Was this your hairdresser, bruv?

Every time there’s an article of a report confirming “yes, this looks, smells and feels like a genocide”, there’s always a statement of “nuh uh it’s not” included from the government perpetrating it.

Like if someone is accused of murder or manslaughter, does the news get a statement from the accused and publish them saying “uh, no I didn’t, he probably just tripped and fell” or something?

Interesting choice… Musk has a bone to pick with Microsoft so even if the FTC gets hobbled, this investigation may get to survive the changing of the administration.

Next year: pay to cut an opponent’s frame rate in half, as a bidding system. Whoever is offering the least premium coin gets the debuff.

Oregon, you give me hope for the whole West Coast USA. I worry for the States as a whole in terms of a transportation future, but Washington Oregon California have not lost it.

Tbf I expected way better of Americans than to fall for Trump twice.

The Democratic Party might as well give up if they are still going to try to keep rooting for same old, same old. Blame media both sidesing and sanewashing, blame unlimited money in politics, blame your average voter’s lack of critical thought. If the party leadership doesn’t want change, if media doesn’t want actual change, then it’s hard to expect anything good from them for the time being. Governor Kathy Hochul is a prime example, she keeps kneecapping good policies at the last second like proper right to repair and congestion pricing, thinking like playing political games is going to help anyone. It’s not, it only hurts us.

All blue states and blue cities in purple and red states can do right now is show themselves as shining beacons of democracy and progress as the remainder of states get absolutely screwed by the feds. The Dem party as a whole needs to take a moment and rethink its strategy.

“Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” said Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.

Nazarko said the community would continue pressing to make its voices heard after rallying votes to help Trump win. “At least we’re on the map.”

Hate to break it to him, but Team Trump’s plan is for Gaza to be completely off the map.

What happens when you get training data from Reddit:

I know it’s a lot to ask of our media overlords PostMedia, TorStar, Rogers and Bell, but if you want to be protected from persecution from America, you’d better be sounding the alarm bells now.

Virtually every “promise” Trump has made will cost the US billions. The only promises he’s known to keep is billionaire tax cuts, which will cost the US trillions.

The media can lie in their freshly sanewashed bed.

I mean old, un-Musked Twitter was what people wanted. Mastodon is similar, and I like it but it’s not Twitter (which personally I couldn’t get into even in its heyday).

That is what we have now, but clearly people are averse to making a choice that they are not technically inclined to know how big or small the consequences of that are. My solution is a spitball one with obvious flaws, but essentially it is that the instance is picked randomly out of a group of very closely, if not identically aligned servers.

It’s one place that the Canadian legal system has gotten one-up on the US system (Johnson v. Grants Pass), between this and the City of Victoria case. Unless cases in other provinces rule differently (i.e. Prairies’ Bench courts say its no problem to evict, Cour Supérieure de Québec okays it as long as displaced residents get 3 packs of smokes and a 2-4 of beer each etc.), I could see that any appeal could eventually see the federal supreme court ruling along the same lines.

It shows that we have a robust set of Rights given to us by the Charter, but it is easier for cities to overlook them if they aren’t asserted.

You’d have different domain names to get people used to the concept. John Doe would sign up, and become [email protected], Jane Doe would sign up and become [email protected]

Hey… that just gave me a small idea… what if we made a “flock” or “herd” of Mastodon servers? The group of servers would all federate with each other, have the same block and allow lists, moderation policy and teams spread throughout them.

When you make an account you can be assigned a random instance name within the flock. If your instance goes down you could still possibly log in using other servers? Main benefit would be spreading server costs and maintenance effort and de-centralized operating, but still keep a centralized feel to it?

Don’t kid yourself… Project 2025 section on transportation suggests removing nearly all federal funding to alternative transport modes in place of state by state funding, and the only thing that 95% of State DoTs know how to do is build and widen roads.

Page 621:

If funding must be federal, it would be more efficient for the U.S. Congress to send transportation grants to each of the 50 states and allow each state to purchase the transportation services that it thinks are best. Such an approach would enable states to prioritize different types of transportation according to the needs of their citizens. States that rely more on automotive transportation, for example, could use their funding to meet those needs.

Work together and be nice to each other? Sure.

Solving problems? Eh, not really a thing here. Kicking them down the road is a popular sport at every level of government here.
