I'm expecting the most common phrase out of Mark Meadow's mouth the next few months will be "plea deal"

Question: Where is federated content stored? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Both. The text data is in the database of all instances that are federated. Your account credentials are only stored on the instance you're registered to.

Defederation is just another form of censorship in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Because this is not censorship. You're free to browse any defederated community. You're not censored, they're not censored. All the content is perfectly viewable on the fediverse.

Go join another instance. You can't enter somebody else's house and complain about how they don't want to invite the neighbor over as well. That's not censorship. Go to the neighbors house if you want to hang out with them.

But you've been explained this multiple times, so I'll leave it at this. Ignorance is not bliss.

The word "censorship" has lost all meaning

TIL kbin is named after the instance "karab.in" which is named after a Polish rifle called a karabine gun. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nowhere in that link does it say what you're saying. Kbin was not named after the instance, but sbin. The instance is named after the gun because apparently it sounds nice in Polish.

Literally the first comment in the thread you linked sorted by Hot has a direct quote from the dev which contradicts your title.

Trump prosecutor Fani Willis faces racist abuse after indicting ex-US president in c/[email protected]

To the surprise of nobody. Why try to defend the indefensible when you can just be racist instead.

It'll be an interesting tactic when he tries it on members of his family

I hope we can replace him. I wanted Garcia to win. Eric Adams is a fool.

Where can I find the old school plastic phone screen protector material? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm ignorant but I've felt like phones haven't needed screen protectors for a while.. I've had a GS9 for years with no screen protector and I have a very very minor scratch that can only be seen with the screen off and that's it.

I've never shattered a phone screen before, am I just an outlier?

Seriously though, happy for all the hackermans that get a kick out of them. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The dev is not tracking anything. Google ads is.. and like the other comment said if you have Google Play on an android phone then you're being tracked.

I'd wager most people complaining about sync also have a Gmail account or shop on Amazon, or watch YouTube, or a million other equally or more invasive stuff.

This is a bit more local than US News story, but didn't know where else to post. The footage is crazy.

Four people suffered minor injuries, but no one died, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The crane operator is also reported (on FDNY Twitter) to be OK

The Expanse Characters: Another behind the scenes clip from Chris Danelon (www.youtube.com)
 

Sorry if my posts to the community come off spammy, just want to build some content here for any new members looking for an Expanse community on Lemmy.

Chris Danelon, one of the VR designers from The Expanse television show has released another video with more very interesting content from Season 1 of The Expanse that I have not seen. The video includes interviews with the cast about their characters and their relationships.

He shows the hard to find clips from the Season 1 marketing material and then gives some additional commentary from his experience on the show.

Has anyone read 'How It Unfolds' by James S.A. Corey from The Far Reaches Collection? (ducks.dev)
 

This is a short Sci-Fi story set outside the world of The Expanse by our beloved authors behind James S.A. Corey. I haven't picked up the next books in the series by various other Sci-Fi authors yet, but How It Unfolds was excellent and I am still thinking about the story many days later. The life lessons are valuable, especially for me at this time in my life.

Anyone read it? Opinions? Anyone read the next ones in the series yet?

Whatever it is, I'm here for it. I still need to get my hands on the new comic books and I will be playing the Telltale game. I'm still holding onto hope we will see an end to the series in some video format in the future.

How to remove single communities from a Lemmy instance as an admin? (ducks.dev)

I have some communities on my small instance that I will never browse, I want to remove them to free up space and not pull useless data (to my one other user and I). I click "Remove" on the community and then I click "Purge" and the community is removed and purged, but a few seconds later the community is back with different content.

I know I can block the communities to stop them from showing up on my "All" feed, but I have a small instance and don't want that data sitting around if nobody will ever look at it, as well as limit the small amount of unnecessary additional strain it may put on other instances. What am I doing wrong?
