If the US only awarded actual damages like most of the rest of the world, instead of inflated punitive damages, then this would pretty much be a non-issue. Rightsholders in the US see targeting copyright infringement as a source of income, not a necessary indemnity.

I said you came in to correct me but didn't actually deliver any corrections. You just talked about the things you know.

I didn't say the same thing you said, I provided the correction that you left out.

I don't think Trump is the next Hitler lol Hitler actually had some real carisma and intelligence. Your whataboutism turned into hyperbole is clearly flat and false.

Incidentally, do you know who it was who coined the term Mainstream Media, in the context of saying "you shouldn't believe Mainstream Media"? That was Joseph Goebbels. You are literally spouting Nazi propaganda.

I'm not brainwashed, I try to take in as many sources I can and review them impartially, then come to an objective conclusion. Unfortunately for you, reality and truth skew away from your beliefs.

Russian collusion has not been debunked. The investigations were quashed.

Biden is on tape threatening to hold back a billion dollars in aid money if Ukraine didn’t fire a certain prosecutor.

Yes, Biden was under direction from the President to sort out corruption in Ukraine, where Russia had been funnelling money through Ukraine's PrivatBank. Trump has been associated with this money laundering, and yet none of it has seen the light of day - the lawsuits in Delaware and the UK were both postponed until after Ukraine's lawsuit, which was scheduled for summer 2022. This never happened due to the Russian invasion.

You're still trying to bring up Biden being photographed at the cemetary while conducting his duties with Trump trying to take photographs explicitly for his election campaign. The two are not the same.

Most of the military does not support Trump. Hell, most of the US does not support Trump - he has never won a popular vote in his life. You're pulling things out your ass now, and I can smell that shit well before I can see you.

The thing is they're entwined with the military, eg the X-37, so they probably will keep getting things like that. No other company makes space vehicles for the US that I'm aware of. Maybe Lockheed Martin have some secret stuff, but with space it's incredibly difficult to get things up there and remain unnoticed.

Sure, I share your displeasure with Boeing's airline division. However a significant portion of those were just accidents, ones that couldn't have reasonably been predicted and were readily learned from and corrected. And many of those were not the fault of Boeing's design.

The crimes started after MDD and Boeing merged, when the MDD directors came onto the Boeing board and then performed the same antics they'd done at MDD that run that business into the ground. Things like ignoring issues at design stage, refusing to acknowledge the issue until after 2 major fatal accidents had occured, and "gentleman's agreements" with the FAA to get around safety rules. These happened with the DC-10, and then they happened with the MAX.

But Boeing was at one point one of if not the most respected engineering aviation companies. Don't revise history based on current events. In any case, we're talking about the space division here, where they do maintain some of the original professionalism and standards Boeing used to have running in its blood. This is evidenced by the fact it was Boeing engineers who raised the issues, rather than trying to cover them up and leave them for NASA to find.

Also, I was merely pointing out that your malice should be pointed at these directors - the people who let people die and then ran off with all the money before the business started to fail.

The directors belong in prison. Slagging off the Boeing brand and jerking off over it is not in pursuit of that goal.

I mean, you are trying to be pedantic lol but it's justified in this instance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

No one's getting banned here lol. Also deaddit happened because of admin, lemmy still has every opportunity to pack up shop and create new communities (with blackjack and hookers).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah pretty much.

I mean I'd just draw back to three things:

  • Ben Gvir was closely involved in the Israeli far right group that assassinated the Israeli Prime Minister in the 90s.
  • Netanyahu previously said that people should give Hamas money, as this would be the best way for Israel to take control of Gaza and the West Bank (and apparently now their eyes are on Lebanon next).
  • For some reason Netanyahu left a skeleton crew on the border, sacrificing guards in the towers, relying on an early warning system with an obvious single point of failure (sole reliance on the cellphone network), on the 50th anniversary of the last Yom Kippur war. Anyone with half a brain would realise that such a calendar date is a time for heightened security, not relaxed. And this is the man who campaigned for office on his ability to provide security for Israel.

The Nazis didn't have prisoner release on the negotiating table. I'm not saying Hamas' terms were right, but the IDF hardly exhausted all options, or even most options, before they went "oh boy here I go killing again".

Also, the IDF previously killed hostages that were topless waiving white, such is their bloodlust.

They did, and then the lemm.ee dev came to their rescue to tell them how they should have set things up (like he did) :D

And these days it's trivially easy to move accounts between instances.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno, allegedly people actually vote for a man named "Trump".

Those same people are also the lead developers of lemmy.

I made this comment yesterday, however it doesn't show up in my profile nor on lemm.ee - all I can see is replies to the comment from my notifications, but not the comment tree in the post and all 3 replies have the same url to the same non-existent parent comment. When I browse the full comments none of them show up. It also appears on some federated instances, but not others - it's there on kbin, but not on lemmy.world or dbzer0 - yet somehow I have replies from all 3.

I think since the 0.18.3 update, the Context links in comments aren't working for me. On the website, it does nothing. On Jerboa, it loads something, but it misses off the top of the comment tree, and doesn't let me click it again to go further up the tree.

The previous version made you click Context multiple times to work your way up the tree, and as you went higher the comment you were looking at might end up further down the tree (branches would be displayed based on your sorting order, rather than the specific context chain). However despite its flaws it was far more functional than this.

 

Maybe this post would be more at home on a lemmy.ml community, or on github, but this place is my home and I feel like I'd like to get opinions here first :o)

Right now, there is no way to make an instance agnostic link for a post or comment, like you can do with users or communities. Each instance assigns its own number to posts and comments, and there isn't really an easy way to find a post or comment on one instance when starting from another.

For example, if I get a lemmy.world link to a post in a lemmy.world community, in order for me to comment from lemm.ee I would first have to go to lemm.ee/c/[email protected], then find the post in there manually. If I want to reply to a specific comment, I would have to find the post on lemm.ee in this way, then also search that thread for the comment. If you're looking for an old post with a lot of comments, this can be quite challenging.

Instead, I think lemmy needs to revise how it numbers comments and posts, using the same system used for users and communities. Rather than every instance using a different number, they should use the federated host's number followed by @hostinstance. The local user would still see the original federated link, but users from other instances would see it in their own instance with a tag for the federated host instance. This way, anyone could easily edit any link to make it work in their own instance (provided that link has already been federated in their own instance).


Here is a specific example I wrote in a comment elsewhere:

For a specific example, to me, this post is https://lemm.ee/post/1726780. In the original, federated instance, the post is https://lemmy.ml/post/2308622. Instead, it should appear to me as https://lemm.ee/post/[email protected].

Your comment, to me, is https://lemm.ee/comment/1409174. The federated link is https://lemmy.one/comment/1393053. This is the link you see, and should continue to see, but I should see https://lemm.ee/comment/[email protected].

Using the instance in the numbering scheme means each federated host instance manages its own numbering while ensuring there will never be a clash between instances. https://lemm.ee/comment/[email protected] and https://lemm.ee/comment/1393053 would refer to two completely different comments. This information is already being transmitted in the process of federation, so it’s just a matter of tagging the data when it’s received.

I frequently find this, for some reason kbin.social comments aren't federating properly. When they reply to my comment thread I am unable to reply to them, and when I log into kbin.social directly and post there my comment doesn't show up on lemm.ee ~~for some time~~ at all.

Edit: A good fix is to apply a language to your comment, eg English. This should allow your comment to post. However it seems like there is still some issue with comments federating across after that - your comment might appear on kbin, but you might not get their replies again.

I tried to set up shreddit to clear out an alt, I've created the app and it exists on my account but it's completely blocked.

My guess is they aren't allowing any new 3rd party app tokens to be approved.

I've had a few errors loading pages in new tabs. Unfortunately I've been hitting refresh before screenshotting most, however this is one of them.

The link that failed to load: https://lemm.ee/post/482750?scrollToComments=true Although, it loaded immediately with one refresh.

I've also had a few Cloudfire 503 error pages across various tabs. Again, these loaded immediately with a single refresh.

There was one other issue I noticed, I tried replying to a kbin.social user on a lemmy.world thread, and the reply wouldn't post. The comment I was replying to was less than 10 min old. The circle would just keep spinning, but also I noted that it didn't give me the "leave this page?" popup when I tried to refresh. I tried many times over, then gave up and just replied with my own kbin.social account. Edit: The thread I can't comment on: https://lemm.ee/post/499275?scrollToComments=true

Edit2: Another lemmy.world thread I can't comment on: https://lemm.ee/post/501214

 

In particular, I'm disappointed that they went ahead with removing captcha. I get that they need to rewrite it, but surely they could have kept it in until the replacement was made?

Will lemm.ee be using a modified version to include some temporary captcha and prevent spammers and bots signing up en masse?
