AI has free reign to scrape Lemmy or any federated site. But at least the data being scraped isn’t curated and moderated by a massive advertising platform.

They killed my favorite app “rif”, so I started using the web version. Then they made the web version almost unusable with the “open this in our app” banner on every page which was the last straw for me. Can’t use third party apps, and the web version is constantly nagging you to not use it? Stupid. Now I just use Lemmy on Firefox and have had 0 issues.

I don’t recall being given the option to vote on this.

Shooting buckshot over residential areas? Police will forget the theft and be all over the shooter in no time!

From Wikipedia: Shotguns have an effective range of about 35 m (38 yd) with buckshot, 45 m (49 yd) with birdshot, 100 m (110 yd) with slugs, and well over 150 m (160 yd) with saboted slugs in rifled barrels.

These drones fly at the end of shotgun range. Even if you only need to damage a propeller it doesn’t sound very effective. I’d sure like to try, but shooting my 12ga in town is a strait path to jail.

Are you calling non tippers the assholes, and not the business owners or practice of tipping in general? Tipping is out of control and a stupid obligation as it is currently being used.

Any other insult around the facts of what he said or did would be much more helpful than this.

Sure, I just can’t help but imagine how I personally would react if this became common for all patients.

I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else…this is pathetic.

I pay extra for paramount+ ad free version and they still show me periodic ads. Its infuriating. And they are much louder than the show content, as a cherry on top. What an awful service.

The passenger car division is 78% owned by a Chinese company. I don’t understand the “buy European” angle here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Cars

This is all so thoughtful, thank you for sharing!

I was thrilled when I bought my first home just a few years back and they had a single page hand written note explaining a couple of minor issues, some unusual plumbing, and an apology for a small hole in the wall done by accident during move out day. It was a relief just for some insight, since I didn’t really know what to do with a house and was a bit scatterbrained already.

This would be above and beyond expectations in the best way possible. Thanks for the reminder for me to get this started.
