Thanks for braving the cesspool. It's like those heros who bring back the gold flakes from shit pile that is 4chan.

Casualties is not the same as dead. A lot of those guys will be injured too badly to fight but not dead.

The idea that Japan was ever more technologically advanced than the US is a tough argument to make. Perhaps they had better consumer and transportation technologies, but the US led the world in nearly all other forms of technology (see silicon valley, NASA, US defense technology, etc). It's cool the hate on the US but there's a reason it was the world super power for decades. It's too bad it's turning into an anti-science christo-facist kelptocracy.

Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?

It also seems like an issue that could be easily solved by whitelisting.

The man wants to make deals, right, so make a deal. (warning I'm an American and know just enough about Canadian government to be dangerous)

"Join" the United States of America under these conditions:

  • Mexico can join too if they want
  • Each Province or State of joining countries becomes a State
  • The Constitutions of all countries apply only to the States it previously applied to while a new Constitution is written
  • The rules of the Constitutional Convention must be agreed to by both a majority of the joining States and 2/3 of all States

Please make this deal. Our governments are all too old to work great in this age but maybe we can forge a new design fit for the 2000s if we erase most of it and start fresh.

I think what is happening is that Ukraine believes that signing the deal will result in a range of outcomes from neutral to positive, depending how and when the US renegs on their side of it. But without the deal the outcomes range from neutral to very negative, so making the deal is the clear right move even if you believe it won't do anything.

For me the problem is the use of the phrase "to help you..." because I think that means something different, something more, than what you're saying it means. That's not a phrasing that evokes, to me, the deterministic nature of the way a web browser operates (or used to operate). Traditionally, I give a web browser a command and it executes it, such as "go to this web address" or "print this page" or "save this as a bookmark". Helping me, on the other hand, would involve some processing of data to attempt to understand my desires. I don't want Mozilla or Firefox to be doing that at all.

Maybe it's just "readable" language that is read much more narrowly legally to mean just what you're saying. But maybe it opens the door for Mozilla to use it to help me experience online content by learning my habits and demographics in order to lead me to places I indicated I would be interested in by my use of the browser.

It sounds funny but it actually is more real than you might think

In Southern California there's a bunch of toll roads for the rich people in Orange County they call The Toll Roads.

The protests didn't make nearly any national news. Hope the next ones go better.

[–] hobovision@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

That's part of their plan. They start by more aggressively tracking down, arresting, and deporting the people with the most severe criminal records who have probably been already already convicted of a deportable offense. They can go around saying how they've got these actual criminals that "Biden allowed to stay" and be telling enough of the truth that it works.

The next step is to start going after people with mild criminal records, maybe shoplifting or an assault charge from a bar fight. People who wouldn't normally be eligible to deport. People who are here maybe legally maybe not.

Then they start revoking legal status from people by just accusing them of petty crimes and deporting them without due process. This is what the new law they just passed with Democrats support allows the government to do now.

Your monopoly money buys more eggs than our real money?! Now I've seen everything!

 

Recently I started noticing that a lot of posts will mark as read for a second then go back to unread when viewing just the image or article. It's not all posts though and I haven't determined a pattern yet, but opening the comments seems to mark as read on refresh even though the post looks unread before refreshing.

I'm on version 122 of Sync on Android.

 

*** Solved: it was pointed out there is a Lemmy setting that enables showing read posts, rather than a Sync setting.

At some point I think I enabled a setting to hide read posts automatically, but now I can't seem to find a way to stop this behavior. There is also no method to unhide posts. So now once I've read a post, after I refresh it is gone forever in the app.

Tried resetting all settings back to default and erased user data in android but it seems stuck, maybe to my user account?
