The gods name in the Bible is kind of a bad stat comparison. The Bible is nowhere near 3m pages

Would be more interested in occurrences per page for this to be effective.

Off to a pretty rough start I'd say.

The mad grab for data center real estate actualizes profit pretty much only in an authoritarian state.

It's kinda neat how you can actually see the billionaires gameplan while they wage war on the lower classes. I feel like it's never been so transparent.

It is pretty much destined to fall apart. The only chance they've got is brute force, which will become harder and harder to maintain as support plummets.

Feel free to call my take hyperbolic but this is genocidal.

This aims to eradicate a culture. That's the definition of the word.

The founding fathers not only famously told a government to go fuck itself as a means of their own nations creation, they purposely advocated for a constituency that would do the same to them if they got out of line.

It looks like he wears mostly black and white hats now lol.

His IMDb pic is a white hat. Pretty sure you have agency over what pic IMDb uses.

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that nothing is happening. That's not to say I don't understand how you could think that. And I'm sorry I don't mean to single you out. There's a lot of this sentiment going around.

TV news and even most of our platforms algorithms are actively hiding the work that's being done, the results being achieved, and a sense of doom is being injected into the discourse from every conceivable angle.

Here's what's actually happened in the last few weeks. Please copy and paste this list to help chill the doomer bullshit.

  • Multiple deep-red state legislative seats flipped Democratic in special/off-year elections
  • Texas State Senate SD-9 flipped (Trump +17 district)
  • GOP margins collapsing in seats previously considered “safe red”
  • Greg Bovino removed from Border Patrol leadership after Minneapolis backlash
  • ICE ended / wound down the Minneapolis enforcement surge (per DHS statements)
  • Federal courts repeatedly blocking or pausing Trump-aligned immigration actions
  • DOJ forced into written explanations to Congress over Epstein file handling
  • Pam Bondi Judiciary hearing exposed internal contradictions and GOP fractures
  • MAGA figures publicly breaking with Donald Trump over Epstein disclosures
  • House Judiciary and Oversight escalating demands for documents and testimony
  • Hundreds of active lawsuits challenging Trump-aligned executive actions
  • State AGs successfully freezing federal funding cuts through injunctions
  • Courts increasingly intervening before policies take effect rather than after damage
  • GOP forced into defensive posture instead of agenda-setting

They have 0 momentum right now. The ground is actively crumbling beneath them. The outlook isn't as bleak as our media sources would want us to believe.

One more thing to add is that historically the outcomes of these kinds of tension are literally never what anyone predicts. Never the authoritarians, never the people fighting for their rights. What outcomes follow always have everything to do with how hard those continuing to fight fought.

The reason the news has us believing we've made no progress is because we're winning a class war.

This is a great hobby 😊

If he starts to show signs of dementia you need to show him how to share his location with you guys by default. This hobby sounds like it could make something stressful even more stressful if not prepared.

Thankfully, this hobby would help stave off dimentia if onsetting, as it is highly cognitive and forces an amount of exercise 🙂

A bakery in Conway NH is suing the town after being told their mural violates advertising signage laws. It seems the sign just has pastries and doesn't otherwise advertise the business, so they're calling it art and arguing it should stay. The town disagrees so they're going to court over it.

The bakery is suing the town for $1, and permission to keep the kids mural up.

This is a small business fighting to keep kids art on display. Suing for $1 is a way to signal that are willing to do this at a financial loss, and that the display isn't a means of enriching themselves but rather their community.

I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.

I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.

Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.

The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight.

This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign.

There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary.

Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023.

There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked.

In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit.

Here's a YouTube video that touches on all of this.

Acceptable range of answers:

"I mix mustard with mayo"

to

"I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"

Bonus: what's it best on?

This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.

To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.

If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.

Worse and worse (lemmy.world)

Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?

I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.

Am I alone?

Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.

This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.

If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.

But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.

voting buttons bug (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by foggy@lemmy.world to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.

It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.
