Ah yes, the classic family business: sex toy shop
The per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) had spread — through groundwater and products like Scotchgard stain repellent, Teflon cookware, food wrapping and fire removedant — and were showing up in the blood of people and animals in every corner of the world. They were in nearly every living thing, from house dust to human blood, in wildlife in the Arctic circle and drinking water, rivers, streams and breast milk.
Purdy’s warnings were clear, as revealed by former Attorney General Attorney General Lori Swanson, who sued 3M in 2010, alleging the company failed for decades to report that its chemicals could be toxic to humans, animals and the environment, keeping information from regulators and scientists to protect its lucrative revenue stream.
The morning the case was set to go to trial in 2018, after 22 hours of negotiation, 3M and the state settled. 3M agreed to pay $850 million to help provide Minnesotans clean drinking water.
The settlement with Minnesota is the third largest natural resource damage settlement in U.S. history, behind the Deepwater Horizon and Exxon Valdez oil spills.
But it amounted to just 2.6% of 3M’s nearly $33 billion in revenue in 2018.
The company admitted nothing, and maintains to this day that its chemicals have no adverse health or environmental consequences.
health insurance companies are some of the most evil things on the planet, and its a fucking stiff competition.
if they were visible from lemmy.sdf.org before that means they made it into the local database over there so they should only disappear if deleted
if you can give a specific example I can look at it and bug the admins with my findings but I’m guessing its just relatively low-activity comms that haven’t had any of their backlog synced over (lemmy only syncs like 20 posts per comm by default, and all new posts after that point should also sync)
federation is weird. lemmy doesn’t sync all posts when you federate, it only fetches communities when someone specifically searches for them and even then it only grabs the last 20 posts when it does that. i think there are bots to automate syncing comms/maybe post backlogs too, some maybe even usable as an end user
as in historical posts?
mostly recovery codes. I have multiple yubikeys but that’s mostly for work
yeah, when sites support it, that’s definitely the best option, but many sites only barely do totp lol so I have to have to put the totp codes somewhere, and the yubikey handles it in a pretty nifty way
Seems like a real mixed bag, leaning towards a negative because it requires a civil lawsuit. On one hand sure, good, you can sue harassers at the source. On the other hand how many nasty things like neo-nazi group membership are brought to light through doxxing and will also become illegal. and since it requires you bring suit, this will protect the people with more money/resources more often than not.
as far as I know upstream lemmy doesn’t want it and is waiting on pictrs proxying support. If I’m wrong though our code is public, I’m sure a dev would be happy to put together a PR,
Hexbear.net stays winning, external embeds are domain whitelist-only until pictrs adds proxying support, and blurred by default.
Good PSA tho, I’d honestly encourage other instances to do the same but it requires dev effort that I know not everyone has, and upstream isn’t quite as paranoid about this stuff.
For reference:
That literally only happened because the USSR and China would not and could not vote on it (respectively) because the UN was insisting that the KMT who only controlled taiwan were the legitimate representatives of china, and the USSR was boycotting the UN votes on principle.
The point isn’t “UN is infallible” the point is “Even anti-communist countries in the UN agreed that PRC is the legitimate government of all of China.”

Could be very very good shit. Shame I’m not using android anymore
you smoking out of a geeb or something?
even if it doesn’t affect the brain, it will affect your lungs, and I wouldn’t bet on it not affecting the brain too
blame lemmy’s terrible Active algo. It’s a struggle session factory
imagine being able to see downvotes
Couldn’t be me, I only see upbears
