Even with it being federated I don’t see how Lemmy could be immune to astroturfing. I’m sure there’s some already going on. Lemmy just isn’t yet popular enough to be a major target. Instances can defederate from one another but it’s trivial to create a new account on a different instance and resume turfing. I suppose the openness of Lemmy’s logs, when compared to the closed-source centralized nature of reddit, could help suss out turfers though.

Super minor QoL update but I am all here for it!!

I only recently learned about the Dumbo Octopus and I think it is adorable!

Yeah I was just brainstorming a list off the dome, but it looks like big bang theory started in '07 and Everybody Loves Raymond ended in '05. I’d say it’s the same-ish era in regards to tv

Granted it’s been 20 years since I last watched this show, but I remember it being funny and better than most other sitcoms of the era. Certainly better than king of queens, drew Carey show, and big bang theory. Brad Garrett is a gem

Same, I wish this was ported to kde. Such a useful feature

Congrats! I feel similarly about DS3. Certain fights like Nameless King, Sister Friede, and Gael are some of the best in the entire series IMO, but the linear, grey/bleak levels drag on after a while and then you end the game with the meh Soul of Cinder. Plus that game is where the modern fast roll spam twitchy gameplay originated.

There is a Starbucks just like this to this day in a suburb where I worked until just recently. Every morning at 8 AM they have a drive-thru line backed up out into the surrounding streets.

And I thought waking up after dreaming through a full work day and then having to do it all over again way bad enough

This isn’t the article I read but it has tons of info about this:

I read somewhere recently that AI data center open loop water cooling systems drain 100 million liters of freshwater a day and evaporate it away.

He was popular recently for his “Catching Predators” live streams where he’d catfish suspected pedophiles and then verbally and physically assault them when they’d meet up. The rapper Lil Pump urinated on one on a stream IIRC, and all sorts of other crazy shit too

The federal prosecutor’s office had asked for the man to receive life imprisonment – which usually runs to a maximum of 15 years in Germany – followed by preventive detention – meaning he would always stay behind bars, because of the potential danger it considered him to pose to wider society should he ever be released.

I’m not German so I can’t comment with any certainty, but it sounds like the life sentence is 15 years in prison followed by indefinite confinement after that?

beatings and kickings, or how he deliberately set broken bones with insufficient levels of anaesthetic. They also told the court how the doctor had poured flammable liquid on their wounds and parts of their body – and in two cases, including that of a 14-year-old boy, on their genitals – and set them on fire. He injected one prisoner with a deadly poison while the man had been trying to defend himself. He died in front of fellow prisoners.

The court also heard how he had beaten and kicked a young man suffering from epileptic seizures, knowing he had the condition, which led to it worsening. He later administered a pill, which caused the man to die in the presence of his brother

Glad this guy will be behind bars for at least the next 15 years. What a sadistic piece of shit

Agreed. Mackie is just so blase. I’ve seen football fathead posters with more charisma

I also loved Sandler in PTA’s Punch Drunk Love

I just finally upgraded from a 1080 Ti to a 5070 Ti. At high refresh-rate 1440p the 1080 Ti was definitely showing its age and certain games would crash (even with no GPU overclock). Fortunately I was able to get a PNY 5070 Ti for only ~$60 over MSRP at the local Microcenter.

5000 series is a pretty shitty value across the board, but I got a new job (and pay increase) and so it was the right time for me to upgrade after 8 years.
