Thank you for posting here. :)

And if downvotes bother you, that’s okay. There are plenty of instances that don’t show it, say lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Also, on some UI’s you can disable it even on instances that show it.

Just to save people a rabbithole.

Kagi is pretty cool. But it’s not free. And for most people who don’t have much disposable income it’s not really a justifiable expense to pay for a search engine.

It’s so annoying how ridiculously terrible science journalism is. Like weirdly enough it’s probably more clickbait than celebrity tabloids.

It’s ridiculous how it has improved literally everything.

Like I’m a hardcore fuck cars person. I mean I used to mod that subreddit until the blackouts, I helped popularise the fuck cars movement, and even I didn’t expect this to be such a success.

They all kind of look like dickheads ngl. Like that annoying kid who always breaks boundaries.

(ie. they all look very full of themselves — I guess that’s how you become a leader…)

It costs money.

The declaration was the culmination of seven months of work to renew long-stalled talks that began in October when Ankara offered Ocalan an unexpected olive branch.

The news won a cautious welcome on the streets of Diyarbakir, the main city in Turkey’s Kurdish-majority southeast, where locals have seen repeated efforts to end the violence come to nothing.

“We want this process to move forward and not be left unfinished. They shouldn’t deceive the Kurds as they did before. We really want peace,” 60-year-old worker Fahri Savas told AFP.

There was a similar sentiment in Iraqi Kurdistan’s Erbil, where Khaled Mohammed, 55, warned: “We only support the peace process if it is serious and accompanied by international guarantees.”

Remains to be seen how genuine Erdogan is (probably not very much).

Lmao. When I lived in Austria I remember I chilled with a friend and he let me take a couple sips from his Beer.

The next day he asked me to wire him 0.3 euro for half the beer 😭.

I just told him next beer is on me.

Well… I don’t live in the US. I live in Europe.

Labour, Democrats, Liberals (Canada), Labour (Australia) etc. They are all parties of the neoliberal elite. They may fly rainbow flags and occasionally add small welfare, but they ultimately answer to corporate doners.

Wow that looks productive. I’m assuming you can’t share the methodology for linking these accounts to help combat this stuff but I’m very curious if that isn’t an issue.

Though it’s a bit of a confirmation bias. Only the ones we caught are those we know about.

I won’t detail how, but it would be pretty trivially easy to make it much harder to catch. This is just utter laziness on behalf of the vote manipulators.

I think a statistical analysis that looks at what accounts nearly only upvote the same comments or posts as another account would probably be the DIY gold standard for catching vote manipulation on the lemmyverse.

this is exactly what talking to basically anyone about your struggles as a disabled person feels like;

“oh but havent you tried yoga” “I think I know some essential oils that could help you” “You need to workout more to make your body strong” (Me who has a mitochondrial/energy production disease 😭) “Trust me if you eat quinoa and supplements vitamins youll be back to health in no time”

Can’t people, just… offer sympathy. Why are they so entrenched with the idea they will know the magical solution to an illness 80 years of research hasn’t found a useful treatment or management strategy for yet. As if I hadn’t spent months in denial trying out bullshit treatments when I first became ill and lost much of my body’s functioning.

The patient is a women, in poverty, disabled, mentally ill…

Medical culture is unbelievably bigoted.

“slams” “blasts” “rips”

I think this meme would look less cool if you replaced it with a man, but on I’m board.

The way i distinguish:

property in that you have a piece of paper saying something is yours and you can prevent people from using that thing or extract value from it, while not using it yourself. That’s theft.

But possession, ie. having things that you use, a house you live in etc. that’s not theft unless other circumstances that lead to the possession are theft.
