Public flogging of a child is to be executed by the nearest authority figure upon any misbehavior, outburst, or disrespect perpetrated by, or suspected to be perpetrated by, said child. If their innate shortcomings are not beaten out of them at the earliest opportunity, they are bound to develop into unemployed hooligans.

Including women??? Well I say! It’s only proper to publicly flog men. Everyone knows that!

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking more like a mini-m&m tube.

I’m having a hard time envisioning the flexibility required to make that work. It couldn’t have been both at the ends at the same time? Also, did this kid just get naked in front of everyone at their party? To each their own, I guess.

I’ve never used any, but the most popular “Plex request” app is Overseerr. I’ve also heard of Ombi and a quick search revealed one I’ve never heard of, Petio.

If you want a decentralized search, set up a DHT crawler and build a db of millions of torrents in a week or two. If you want anonymity/legal protection, use a trusted VPN. I’m not sure I’d trust a random independent tor-like implementation, especially when the real tor is slow and has imperfect anonymity.

And the Chamber of Commerce has already sued the FTC to block the ban and ofc they picked Texas as the state in which to file their lawsuit.

Who even uses the web editor on any git website though? For anything besides micro fixes for projects I don’t already have cloned, I find it easier to just update things locally and push.

Don’t even get me started on github rendering tabs as EIGHT spaces.

Could be worse, mine have started saying “the MVP must be feature complete and 100% bug free” but there’s a 0% chance there’s enough budget for that.

There are other elections, primaries, donations, and general social pressure. The sad part is you’re right, committing to vote for the lesser evil every time does reduce pressure and influence. However, it’s not a flaw in the voting strategy, it’s a flaw in the voting system.

The alternative is to abstain or vote for someone with no chance, in which case you end up with the greater evil in office who has four years to inflict permanent damage on people and further corrupt the system. You may show the less-evil party that you don’t agree with them and that they need to rethink some policies, but the point is moot if they aren’t in power and now the greater evil can do things like appoint three SCOTUS justices, irreversibly damage the environment, and pass voting “reform” to lessen the impact of your future votes. Your message is sent, yes, but the overall impact is bad for everyone and reduces your future influence.

In a FPTP system, that’s the sad reality we are given. There really is no better choice than to vote for the lesser evil in the presidential election. That’s why ranked choice voting would be such a game changer, then you truly can vote for your favorite without helping your least favorite gain office.

You have more influence the smaller the election is, which is partly why it’s so important to vote in every election, especially your local elections. Local elections also more directly impact your community and broad elections are impacted by them too! Nearly all higher-up politicians start local, and the larger parties look to local elections to see what gets people out to vote. Plus, if you hate all of your options in a local election, it’s much more possible to run yourself and actually have a change at winning. You aren’t just voting for candidates either, there’s almost always projects, new laws, and funding allocations to vote for locally.

Do you believe Trump/Republicans will decrease, maintain, or increase the current genocide levels?

Marijuana grows in nature and you just need to dry it out and light it on fire.

Is each instance like another person with a server?

Yes.

Could that person just shut it down whenever they wanted to?

Yes.

Are there any companies that have invested in hosting Lemmy/ other fediverse servers?

Idk, they’d be very niche.

Sorry I’m sure I messed up some of the terminology, I hope my questions make sense!

Nah, you pretty much nailed it.

Lemmy, and a lot of the fediverse, functions very similarly to email. Gmail can send emails to Proton even though they’re hosted by two completely separate companies. A post/comment/vote/interaction is like an email in that a copy of every interaction is sent to every federated instance, like emails sent to recipients. This creates a lot of redundancy and traffic between instances, which has its pros and cons.

Take heek

The Mac Pro only costs three times as much as a cheese grater???

Once upon a time, Google offered unlimited drive storage as part of some GSuite tiers. They stopped offering it a while ago and have kicked most/all legacy users off of it in the past few months. It was glorious while it lasted 😢

“If it can be done and it is done, for example, for crimes such as child pornography, for intellectual property, which is stealing, they should have to do it too.” - LaLiga chief Javier Tebas

Ah yes, two equivalent crimes: CSAM and… um… watching sports without paying

Damn and Facebook ratted them out

They ought to have a manger/team lead interested in managing. An ad-hoc approach can only get you so far.

Though, you seem to be asking more about Devops than management. If you’re making a startup, just cobble an MVP together using as little custom-built tools as possible and redo it if/when you get enough investment to be able to take the time and pay for the necessary resources to do it right and maintain it. You’re going to want to redo your first version anway, better to not waste time and effort on complex solutions even if they’re more appealing. Saas is your friend.
