As a security and community building risk, it’s genuinely a pretty big issue. One that will cause people to scrutinize the contributions of others more closely. Trust broken etc…

I won’t disagree with the gossip note. Though I genuinely can’t differentiate between water cooler and old folks home gossip. The only difference is the name of the drugs.

Stamets used to be on a broad Startrek instance mod team with Kirk, where Kirk would go on long tirades about how people were bullying and threatening him and how he should have singular say over their communities. How they aren’t doing enough to curb rudeness and dissent. Then he way overstepped, somehow. Maybe started banning en masse for silly reasons? I can’t recall specifically.

Rather than doing anything about the mentally unstable goober, startrek’s head admin, a friend of Kirk, washed their hands of the situation and stamets left their mod teams to create separate communities on other instances, which are the Star Trek meme communities we see today. And Kirk took all of this as a personal attack, and stated something about death threats, but no one was listening at this point.

Long story short, Kirk’s always been a dictatorial weirdo. Only recently have they become a real, tangible nuisance.

See, they tried for 2k but coded their randomizer poorly. Technically, it could go up to 2k, but in practice, it likely never went above 1k

Super short version. Tesseract is a lemmy theme that users can choose to use. However, it also surreptitiously blocks some instances and many users from view for “toxicity.” Because it’s lemmy, the blocks were overwhelmingly anti-left and anti-trans. Whether this is exclusively demographics is up to you, but that is my perception. All of this 100% undisclosed. They intentionally, quietly broke some sites for a long time.

When they were found out, they posted a manifesto on their own instance and included a DDOS script in their html, causing users to call the db0 api hundreds of times per visit. This didn’t bring down db0, but did piss everyone off even more and cause the theme dev’s site to be taken down by their hosting company for illegal activity. Now we’re here, discussing it on the day after.

Right? Sure, fine “I wanted to make things less toxic blah blah blah.” I can follow you there, motivation-wise. Actively weaponizing unsuspecting lemmy users, many against their own instance, in your attack on an instance that solely sought to disentangle themselves from choices you silently foisted upon them?

How do you not see the line and its extremely dramatic crossing? I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, considering the stamets situation and how it resolved.

If anything, it’s getting too little attention. Someone effectively snuck malware into several large instances and then separately, and maliciously, attempted to DDOS the instance that blew the whistle. That is massive.

I could have done the same for a quarter the cost!

This hit me the same as “don’t talk shit about midgets!”

Satire, or autism… satire or autism…. Hmmmmmm

It’s human food. I would eat it, like most things, to provide material for my body. I’d enjoy a pizza from a slightly more upscale place, but I’m not offended by dominoes.

To describe the ones you’ve listed, each and every one up until jet’s is nutrition. Something to avoid dying. I know there is a difference between them, but it is so minimal that I can’t care enough to subdivide between different forms of human fuel.

I can’t say I’ve ever had anything past jet’s so I won’t opine there. If they’re slightly pricier, have fresher dough, and appreciably higher quality ingredients, i’d probably agree. But I make my own pizza and sauce and sometimes topping, so it seems unlikely for me to try them and offer anything concrete

until homemade or proper restaurants enter the mix

That’s what I’m saying

Dominoes isn’t that bad, as far as takeout goes. It’s borderline tolerable, like every other chain. I taste no appreciable difference between the brands, until homemade or proper restaurants enter the mix

On first glance, I thought so too. But it would be a truly bizarre amount of visceral fat for this body type, so it must be at least a 50/50 cutaneous/visceral split. She should be bulging far differently. But above the intestines, that’s definitely mostly visceral. The legs are the bit that made me second guess everything. The “skin” is fairly thick, but somehow the fat is substantially thinner? I don’t follow. Are they lipomas? Are these unhealthy fats? Why is subcutaneous belly fat seemingly excluded? What’s happening?

Really, it’s just a poster meant to make women feel insecure and the art is inconsistent because it doesn’t have to be consistent.

None of this fat is intramuscular and, visually, this is objectively too close to an idealized body type to have been anything but a suggestion to have a pizza.

Cats fucking adore butter. They don’t care for sugar or wheat, but they’ll go buck wild for butter. Sounds like you made proper pie!

One of 3 things will happen in the future, and none of the 3 things will involve putting a wealthy man in any state of duress. The doge kids might see courtrooms, though!

They just seemed like incredibly stupid criminals. The most fallible idiots that musk could muster from le twtiter armie. It was wholly expected, at least by me. Hitler did the same thing with the brown shirts. Just take some prospectless doofuses, make them feel important, and point them in a direction.

I hate everything so goddamn much.

That’s far more liquid than I expected them to contain. I also expected them to be left alive, not drained dry. Wouldn’t it be more economical to feed them in a large tank for a few weeks, rather than killing them outright? I feel like fish food, by mass, costs 1/10th or less of live horseshoe crabs.

I genuinely can’t tell what it was attempting to say. I’ve just learned that I cannot parse context and a stream of new idioms simultaneously.
