I uh… I wouldn’t mind if they sent some of that struggle to my country, I think I could bear it.

The letter is suggesting that the vote counting machines were compromised, adding fake digital votes to the total after it had counted all of the real physicsl ballot votes. The letter suggests that a hand count of the physical voted would show the manipulation, because the extra digital votes would not show up in the physical ballots.

I’m not experienced enough to know for sure if those claims would truly hold water, but to my layman mind, it sure does sound like a compelling case to at least do a hand count.

Andor especially so, and in the best ways!

Wish it wasn’t so relevant tho.

Heyo Fenrir, just wanted to give a heads up that MealtimeVideos is moving to a new instance at Lemmy.cafe. more details here.

Thank you for your continued contributions to this community! :)

Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes is a supremely good book to start with for an absolute beginner, and I would recommend it over Automate the boring stuff (that would be a great followup though!).

It assumes absolutely no prior knowledge, explains concepts extremely clearly, never presents too much to overwhelm and frustrate beginners, and includes a good range of projects that should interest any perspective programmer.

You’re welcome! :D

Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military

“How could this be any worse?”

That motherfucker: takes off shirt

Narrator: “It got worse.”

Having such a clear example from history of how these things play out might give us an advantage they didn’t have. I hope so, anyway.

In the past, I would comment about Lemmy whenever there were posts about reddit messing up, and would get a mostly favorable response. I also got positive responses from privacy focused communities, who tend to be more willing try alternatives since they already are willing to switch or compromise on apps for increased privacy.

I think XMPP would be the most appropriate tech for us to adopt, since it’s easily self-hostable, has great mobile apps, is federated, and doesn’t require an always connected bot to record chat history to know what was said while you were away. It’s functionally an improved IRC.

Have they tried raise VAT and kill all the poor?

Glad you found it helpful! It’s a shame that PFAS isn’t going to be banned for general purpose uses anytime soon, it’s so damn dangerous for the benefits it brings.

Perhaps Lemmy.Cafe?

Lemm.ee and Lemmy.zip are both quite large and active instances (with 3,000 and 500 active monthly users, respectively), where as .Cafe is still quite small, which would help spread the load better.

Appealing aspects:

1. Established and trusted instance with an active admin
2. Updates to the latest lemmy versions quickly
3. Defederated with only a handful of extreme instances, giving it excellent reach across the threadiverse
4. Participates in Lemmy-Federate, making it easier for a new community to get started
5. General use instance, making any community appropriate

I’m going to be moving a couple of my communities from Lemmy.World to .Cafe shortly, and the admin was more than happy to host them when I asked, so I imagine he’d feel the same about an Ask community. Something to consider at least. :)

My fear is that there will be a rugpull at some point in the future and I’ll have to find an alternative solution

If history has shown us anything, that’s quite a legitimate worry to have. I didn’t know they had a CLA :(

If you find anything that seems like a safer bet long-term, please share it here!

I looked into them a while ago, and from what I can find, they seem to be legit in that they really do use the profits for tree planting.
