I’m sure you could set up containers or VMs for them to run on if you tried.

Because lemmy is much smaller, you tend to rub into the same users more often. So if someone comes off as abrasive, blocking them can have a notable impact on your experience.

Dogpiling is worse, and it can pay to know what instance the community you’re posting in is, as the games community on hexbear is going to be different than on world.

It’s much more “left” than reddit. Notably, while this instance, lemmy.ml, is the flagship instance run by the lead dev, the “ml” stands for marxist-leninist.

I would want to hear ‘no’ by this point because that would give me the release to pursue others.

If they haven’t locked you down, you owe them nothing. Be direct.

If they were worth waiting for, they would give you a straight answer.

“I’m interested in you, but you’ve been lukewarm about this whole thing. Whenever you make up your mind, you know where to find me, but I can’t spend my life waiting for you to make a move.”

Ended up meeting my wife because I drunkenly called her roommate a bitch within 30 minutes of being introduced, and the roommate responded by loudly declaring we were friends now and she was abducting me into a historical re-enactment marching band thing.

To be fair, my friends would regularly greet each other with curses and a smile. “Come over here you lanky ass fuckboy! Hug!”

I swear, every time I start to think that I go overboard with this sort of shit in my scripts for work, I either find another ridiculous edge case or a story like this comes out.

Maybe check fmhy’s (free media hell yeah) piracy megathread? I think that’s one of the most up to date "megathread"s.

Or some piracy communities on lemmy. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is the biggest one, and is the successor of the piracy subreddit (the head mod left reddit and started their own lemmy instance).

There’s multiple projects out there for it. Windows 10 Ameliorated is/was an open source project of PowerShell scripts you run against the installation media (and I think afer install, it’s been a while) to get LTSC Windows 10 stripped down as much as possible.

It’s what I run in a VM for my work’s VPN connection software (and then for the RDP session too). Keeps an extra level of separation from my personal stuff.

I could probably get things working in a Linux VM, but it’s not worth the trouble for me.

As if recall wasn’t bad enough.

I mean, joke’s on them, Lemmy doesn’t have accrual of karma so there’s nothing to really “farm” using an LLM.

Maybe you should block this Stardew community then?

Usually they get around this by offering controls for sysadmins at businesses to switch these sort of harebrained features off before they’re rolled out.

The last president to talk about that got a magic bullet for his troubles.

I might also look into Social Fixer, if that addon is still around. Used to be the best one for customizing Facebook’s bullshit away.

They may not want to fully wipe sda, there’s a mounted partition- sda4

Yes, that’s something we all should be doing, but that won’t stop this from effecting you.

Google is trying to make a change so that all apps will have to have their creator show their identity to Google so they can be installed. This specifically applies to sideloaded apks. That means it applies to everything from sketchy random apks, to github, to F-Droid.

There’s no way to work around it (if it even can be) until Google rolls it out so custom ROMs can reverse engineer it to offer an option to disable.

Even if it can be disabled on the phone’s end, that now cuts your potential userbase so dramatically that it’s going to gut the open source software scene on android. Either give in to Google (so goodbye high school student devs, people from not ok countries, or people making shit Google doesn’t like), or enjoy your potential userbase of maybe a few thousand people who have the custom rom(s) with a workaround, resulting in an actual userbase of maybe one hundred.

Welcome to the new global military industrial complex, where Palantir masturbates using international militaries pitched against each other.

I used to play runescape with a neighbor from elementary school up through middle school. We even gifted each other membership a few times for birthdays.

Lost touch with him in high school, except for one time he showed off that he was up pretty high on the leaderboards and doing competitive shit.

Ran into him this weekend, it’s been like 20 years. Both had our kids out at a park. Caught up.on a bunch of stuff, but my dumb ass forgot to ask him if he still played, and what he though of the upcoming sailing skill release in Old School Runescape.

Hey, everyone knows you need to wait for the answer to open the door.

Edit: You didn’t answer my question. You brought up what’s already been established.

Skull tattoo. I’m sorry, most Americans are not so familiar with Nazi symbols to identify that specific skull design as Nazi. Swastika, SS, Iron Cross, sure. A skull and crossbones? Wouldn’t clock it. I thought it was a generic “bad guy” symbol in the comedy sketch you have a screenshot from. And he’s had it covered up.

If he knew, why would he allow someone to take a picture of it?

So… your second point is just that you don’t agree with America’s involvement with those wars at all. Which is less to do with this guy than with America’s choices of war. Valid, I agree, but not a signpost that he’s a Nazi. Unless all Americans involved in those were secretly Nazis.

Look. I don’t think anyone’s calling him trustworthy or a good person, but this insistence that he must be a Nazi due to a tattoo that he’s gotten covered up, when he’s been so open about all of it is silly.

He didn’t try to get the photo taken down. He didn’t deny it. He didn’t get belligerant and say he wasn’t going to cover it up just to keep people mad. He’s not pretending he didn’t have it.

I’m keeping him on my radar, but when US politics is filled with so damn many overt and explicit racists and Nazis that are so damn comfortable being mask off, I’m not ready to stomp down on this guy yet.

A soldier, trained for warfare, and enjoying it is quite disturbing for people who never encounter it. I’m disturbed by it. That said, I’m not seeing anything about enjoying bloodshed there. He says he likes small wars because he feels there’s less inhumane brutality.

Is your problem that a soldier enjoys what they do? That makes them a Nazi?

I feel like your comment about killing civilians in the global south is making a big assumption that isn’t even really hinted at. In fact the opposite, as he talks about working with the local community.
