He did tweet that.

I haven’t heard anything but mockery about the “Democrats control the weather” thing. Are there Lemmy communities that have actual idiots spouting this? Other than the few famous trolls who are basically doing a bit at this point?

Alan Rickman, what a treasure.

So I paid for nebula, but it seems totally vacant. I’m not mad, I’m happy to spend the money supporting small creators/any independent endeavour, but am I missing something??

That’s already very common and should be shut down, but usually it applies to the particular service you are using… Not whatever this bullshit is…

Simple example from yesterday: My stupid pixel 8 phone has a green line on the screen. I look up how to get warrantee and think “wow, at least Google knowing everything about me will be helpful in this case” and after a few misdirects to garbage online user forum to try and get me to solve this problem myself I get prompted with “which device is the problem?”

Google pixel 8

Some camera I had but was stolen, and google knows this because they refused to replace it even though I went through the bother to report it stolen to police because they claim they will send a new one

So I click the phone next page says “this phone?” -serial number

Answering honestly: so that shitty people can like shitty things without the consequences. They can broadcast their views without having to answer for them, and down the line it’s easier to manipulate likes so Elon can sell likes or remove likes from anything he pleases, which allows twitter to create “public opinion” that won’t be in line with actual public opinion.

Great content isn’t necessarily everyone’s prefered content. Having it all in one place helps people who want to see it see it and people who don’t don’t have to. Win win.

Black and Decker owns DeWalt.

8 year old video too… Wonder what the problem is?
