Congress to America: What War? in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Don't worry, guys! If some country bombed, let's say for example, 2 of our buildings in NYC, would we treat that as act of war? Nah… probably not. Surely we'd just shrug and move on with peace negotiations!

Welcome to the "I have shot myself in the foot with rm" club! Take a seat anywhere!

(Mine was trying to delete the old System 9 "System Folder" by typing rm -rf System\ Folder, but instead hitting the return key when it came time to hit the \, thereby starting a deletion of the running macOS 10 operating system inside the "System" folder. It got through the c's in the second and a half or so before my frantic control-C attempts halted it. Amazingly, OS X would still boot, but no longer run Carbon apps, necessitating a complete OS reinstall, lol.)

TIL the US Military operates a massive non-profit "socialist" grocery chain called the Commissary. It is taxpayer-subsidized and sells goods at cost in c/til@lemmy.world

And ironically, as a tax payer, I'm not allowed to shop there even though I have access to the base…

I'm sorta in the middle. I've liked some of his stuff I've read and not really enjoyed some other stuff, so we'll see. So far, this is a pretty good one though!

All That We See or Seem by Ken Liu and The Incandescent by Emily Tesh. Having a bit of trouble with the relationships in The Incandescent so I've put it aside and am enjoying Ken Liu's latest, which is mostly about anonymity in an AI-rich society so far.

If your federal government cut internet access to your whole town then where in your town would you think that "the people" would get together to protest ? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

City hall seems like the obvious answer.

X’s new location labels unmask users. Insiders say the idea was rejected for years. in c/news@lemmy.world

Honestly, I would be very much down to see this on Lemmy too. "This account was registered from country X" "Last post from country Y" (Or alternatively, "Last post from known VPN" so you at least know it's happening.)

It adds some interesting context at the very least.

What platform currently exists to replace FB? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

https://friendi.ca/

Mind you, I have never in my life tried to use it, but my understanding is that is the Fediverse equivalent of FB. I'm mostly on Mastodon or Pixelfed, which are the equivalents of Twitter and Instragram.

For a moment there, Trump almost respected Obama.

"Wow! Look a the grift on this guy! Why am I not receiving royalties on legislation too?"

It's always projection, lol…

AOL’s dial up internet takes its last bow, marking the end of an era in c/technology@lemmy.world

Probably about 1 year's worth of dial-up per month of Starlink, if not more…

Previous button missing in 0.19? (lemmy.ml)
 

Anyone have an idea why the Previous button would be missing from all pages? I can click Next and it seems to navigate me forward, but there is not Previous button to go back a page. Checked lemmy.world just to verify it wasn't my imagination and indeed the Previous button is still there.

Things I've tried so far that haven't worked:

  • Disable uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and TamperMonkey for lemmy.ml
  • Load website in default Safari and Edge
  • Try a few different themes to make sure it wasn't something with the theme I was using
