Campaigns don’t tend to be self-funded.

“Stop the war with Russia” by turning it over to them. “Everyone in Ukraine could just shoot tjemselves in the head, rape each other and Russia would be appeased”. Pathetic.

I’m not even sure what the article said, I just liked the idea of a literal cannabis pie.

Spreading out the licenses for growing and selling fairly has been a problem in many states, though. States like Oregon have suffered from oversupply on the growing side, making it especially hard for smaller growers to make a profit and survive. In Colorado the market has come to be dominated by large chains, including many from out of state. In some other states the government has handed virtual monopolies to cronies.

The delays tend to be unnecessary and I think much of it is caused by wishy-washy legislators who never wanted it to be legal in the first place, so they invent obstacles. Even states like Colorado are still dragging their heels on related issues like event licenses - the law passed said the state was supposed to regulate it ‘like alcohol’, so why can’t you get a license to serve it at a wedding, 10 years later?

Hell yeah, algae

Conservative fascism and Trump’s foreign policy would kill a hell of a lot more people than 50k in Gaza, but more of them too.

First thing trump would do is stop all Ukraine aid and give Putin the green light, second thing he’d do is withdraw from NATO.

From what I understand, yes, moderation is not federated. That’s good in that instances can enforce their own mod standards, but it also means spam/harmful content has to be removed by each server individually.

No idea if there’s an appeal process but you could ask on the lemmy.world support community.

Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

Then next paragraph…

I switched from Linux to macOS for a number of years and it was fucking awesome. Then my Macbook Pro became defective and I bought a PC and …

Well, okay. Great, why not write a whole article about your personal taste in software.

What do I use? Arch Linux.

BTW

That is one method that has been used recently… they drill a hole and connect to a serial port or something.

Sure, she’s risking getting fired just for approaching him in a situation like Tinder. A romantic or sexual relationship with a student could get her fired, but especially explicitly in exchange for a grade, which was apparently not her idea.

Not too suave. Pretty sure “I’ll dick you down” isn’t going to work on most 36 year old ladies on tinder, especially in a transactional manner they could get fired for.

That’s interesting. What that indicates to me is that they feel it’s not advantageous marketing-wise to have one in other regions.

That’s cool, I think that will help explain it. I didn’t realize the accounts for people on reddit were being created on lemmy automatically though. Do the reddit users even know it’s happening?

Great, I think as my and other people’s experience illustrates it has been a bit confusing so far, being unexplained. The byline will help a lot, I think.

Sure, it’s useful as it is as long as people check into their Lemmy accounts. I suppose I would if I signed up and was aware there might be replies waiting for me on Lemmy in addition to Reddit.

I read more about the project and it seems interesting. I suppose 2 way communication to sync accounts between reddit and lemmy would be interesting… would the reddit TOS allow that? Or would the reddit admins tolerate it for long? I suppose you’ve looked into it.

The problem is the current state is confusing… if you look at the communities posted in by the bots, it is a huge flood of posts, like sometimes 20 posts in 15 minutes. I guess that would be different if Lemmy was more active, but it isn’t yet. Also, it’s confusing - one has to visit alien.top and github to have any idea what’s going on, and if the account holders aren’t receiving the posts, it’s sort of wasting people’s effort on lemmy and not creating true engagement. Perhaps a disclaimer like ‘this post mirrored by Fediverser’ would help.

Less silly than a whole goofy gnome.

Gnome Chomsky would be pretty hilarious. Kinda political though.

True, Windows had a couple characters (well, Clippy was for Office). The idea of those was a digital assistant character though, not really a mascot.

I think they’re happy with just a slightly silly foot logo. “Gnome Network Object Model Environment” is a serious sounding name and I don’t think an animal mascot is what they had in mind for branding (seeing as, they don’t have one). An anime gnome might even be the exact opposite of what their intent is. GNOME is looking to be seen as a professional alternative to MacOS and Windows. Speaking of which, note that Windows and OSX don’t have a mascot either.

Probably because a gnome would be silly. I presume that’s not the image they’re looking for - garden gnomes, Christmas, fairy tales.

Yeah, I didn’t really understand the description. You sign up by authenticating with reddit, and then it automatically connects you with the same subs you have on reddit?

I see “Your account will be activated and you will be subscribed to Lemmy communities that have a reddit counterpart.” but also “create bot accounts to mirror the original accounts on a corresponding fediverse-enabled server”. Hmm.

Right, I mean, I don’t think we’d want Lemmy to just become a clone of reddit with all the same people. Not being ran by a lame corp would still be an advantage but for now I think discourse on Lemmy is higher quality and I hope it stays that way.
