Fair enough, I've signed you up for some vegan recipe mailing lists.

The most practical forms of direct action benefit its participants individually. Classic example is joining a union, which will give you better compensation at their expense.

Unilateral sacrifices just exhaust you and accomplish little. Become a part of the new economy in which you want to live.

  • Use p2p social networks (you've already started!) and free and open source software
  • Get to know your neighbors
  • Talk to coworkers about pay, benefits, working conditions, and unions
  • Save as much money as you can outside of the American economy
  • Buy a gun, learn to maintain it, and spend time at the range
  • Participate in peaceful protests but be prepared to be attacked by police

It's propaganda because it shows how Israel bombs indiscriminately while they're at war with Russia's ally Iran. This is effective propaganda because it's true.

WAIT is there a way to block someone's votes from influencing the count your client displays?

They allegedly perform well under pressure.

Sometimes if I really like a reply, I'll like/upvote/whatever its parents so the reply gets more visibility.

It's provocative, it gets the people going!

Interesting, thank you for answering. Anecdotally I've got both hearing loss and a dog allergy, but I've never met anyone with a hearing ear dog. The deaf people I know don't consider it much of a disability at all, besides the social expectations thrust on them by hearing people. Most hearing people want to make the disability 100% our problem and 0% their problem.

I'm frequently frustrated by quick simple solutions like "just get a dog", "just learn to read lips", etc. And then the expectation becomes "well, it's your fault because you don't have a dog."

Yes. I'm asking if anyone needs a service dog for being deaf. This incident was because hearing people refused to accommodate, not because deaf people need dogs. It is 100% the people with hearing who need to do something differently, not the deaf.

"Dammit this planet has fire ants!"

My company is totally like this. If you don't write a shiny new feature immediately, you don't last.

Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
