  • Not really it seems:

    Racquel Foran and Jim O’Connor are preparing to open Bevees, a store and lounge that will offer more than 300 types of booze-free products, which will include beer, wine, spirits, liquors and pre-mixed mocktails.

    So bar atmosphere and mock/no-alc beers with no hangover. As a regular drinker, sounds like a cool idea actually. I drink because of the atmosphere /social setting /pressure and not necessarily the alcohol.

    Most bars have no alc options but they’re often not great, look forward to seeing how they do.









  • I have yet to see a single problem with Lemmy over months of daily use. An instance may have crashed in that time but I didn’t notice not seeing certain instances when scrolling, and I don’t seek out particular communities. Helps that I’m hosted on a less popular instance, and the lemmy.ca admins seem to run a tight ship.

    I block a couple of communities a day, but that seems to be expected. I also haven’t seen any kiddie porn.

    Less discussion than Reddit, and less specific communities, but that’s been easy to forgive because well, fuck Reddit.

    If an alternative pops up at some point, I’ll be sure to give it a try. Lemmy is doing just fine for me.


  • It prescribes life in prison for same-sex intercourse. The death penalty can apply in cases deemed “aggravated,” which include repeat offenses, gay sex that transmits terminal illness, or same-sex intercourse with a minor, an elderly person or a person with disabilities.

    According to a charge sheet seen by Reuters, the defendant was charged on Aug. 18 with aggravated homosexuality after he “performed unlawful sexual intercourse” with a 41-year-old man. It did not specify why the act was considered aggravated.


  • The more I read about this fiasco the worse it gets. That non-apology letter Linus posted was embarrassing as hell, and in other comments on his forum he seems to just be deflecting left right and centre.

    They also lost the video card that the same company sent to them (they recently found it apparently) which is why they used the wrong video card for the “test” of the prototype which was such a poor execution they really did that company dirty.

    I guess when you get too big or rich it becomes harder and harder to admit you can be wrong or have made a mistake. The letter had big u/spez energy and I have lost an insane amount of respect for Linus and the LTT brand.

    I’m never watching another video from them, and have gone as far as to block their channel on my browser to prevent temptation.
