enslavement of convicts

I of course am 100% against this.

But its literally in the constitution. America still has legal slavery.

Quote,

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Such a modern country

Absolutely normal, imo. I was shocked my (MVP level) solution was still the main production software for a giant retailer. Ive also written and thrown away far more code than has been deployed

OP? I was responding to the content of the article. Not whoever posted it.

You dont need to be this obtuse. Are you doing that intentionally?

The quote was from the day care centre complaining about competing with “free daycare”.

I replied to discuss what “free” means.

You then decided to bring in even more specificity. Fine, whatever. But dont whine at me about not being as granular as you prefer.

How about discussing the context of free/tax/paid for daycare and how a private daycare could compete?

You dont need to cry that my wording isnt to your exact preference and expectations. Feel free to redefine it.

Im not playing petty semantic word games with you.

im not american.

the article literally quotes the owner of the daycare saying “school is free”. Which it isnt. that was a lie from the owner.

 

In the unauthorised version shown on Tencent Video, Durden is still shot and killed, but the final scene of the buildings exploding is replaced with a black screen and words that say the police discovered the plan, stopped it, and sent the Narrator to an asylum.

 

I am traveling from the UK to USA for a few months, my first stop being New York City for a few weeks over Christmas and New Years.

Generally speaking, what is the weather like? What would be appropriate clothing? I think it snows often, so I was assuming some waterproof shoes / boots would be sensible at least.

 

Seemingly the functionality for setting languages is never used, and a large portion of my new feed is from instances that are language specific (and not the language I speak).

I have set my language to English + Undefined, but it seems no one else can/will set their languages for their posts (leaving them as undefined).

I would like to bulk add these to my blocked instance. I know how to do this.

My question is just - is there a list of instance + language covering the main federated instances?

 
 

Gift articles previously were accessible just with the link. The latest article I attempted to read now requires me to first sign up

edit

The article in question https://wapo.st/4fp62oH

I am well aware of many work arounds. The point of this post was to show wapo has changed the way gift articles work, which previously didn’t require a workaround

 
 

It seems all the mods for technology@lemmy.world are inactive, and are not making any effort to combat spam.

How to go about requesting to mod the community myself?

 

Solely because I can’t read anything but English, I keep blocking foreign language communities as its just noise for me. But I have selected Undefined/English as my languages in settings.

It seems the language choice is never used by communities and posts? All of the .de instance posts seem to be “undefined” language. If they selected a specific language which matches their post language, it wouldn’t show up on my feed, right?

And currently there isn’t a way to block whole instances as a user, as far as I understand.

Will I have to just continuously hide foreign language communities as a user?

I’m not suggesting defederating or anything like that, just making my own feed less “noisy”
