Subscribed, I’d like a USA news community that tries to somewhat eschew politics. Yeah, politics seeps into everything, but seeking out news that doesn’t lean into it is valuable given how easy it is to find political news elsewhere on Lemmy.
I mostly care about how much caffeine I get, which I understand to be the same regardless of how much ice there is. Generally, small or medium is 2 shots of espresso, and a large is 3 shots.
And just replying here to verify that it’s me 👋
discuss.online would be a good candidate, but you’d want to get buy-in from @jgrim@discuss.online as well
It’s a demonstration of the ability that companies have for tracking you across the internet. Try clearing your cookies / using private browsing / etc, and you’ll probably see the “FP ID” at the top be unchanged, because it can tell that it’s still you.
A family member had a deposit down on a Cybertruck and was ready to buy one. They canceled their deposit and bought a different EV because of how much they despise Elon now, so it’s not just sour grapes from people that couldn’t/wouldn’t buy one anyways.
It got confused when I tried Tor Browser, which is good. First time I ever visited, but it thought that I was the same person as ~700 other people:
Correct!
“farleft” is a fine crossword answer. Equating “far left” with “extremely liberal” is pretty silly IMO though. A much better hint would’ve been “Political faction advocating for radical social change” or something like that
The clue is “Involuntarily made noise while laughing, perhaps”, so sure
Thanks, I hate it. Wanted to reflexively downvote 👌
One can hope 🤞
I could also help out with basic, mostly hands-off mod duties if you’re looking for that
Somebody isn’t sanitizing their inputs properly. Like putting a bandaid on a heart attack
I don’t know of any academic literature on this, but you might find Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow interesting:
Disney World is run by rival adhocracies, each dedicated to providing the best experience to the park’s visitors and competing for the Whuffie the guests offer. In the post-scarcity world of the novel, Whuffie is a currency-like system that primarily measures the esteem of others, or in the case of extremely low Whuffie, their disdain.
As well as The Culture series. The author wrote some background for the series, and touches on reputation:
The Culture doesn’t actually have laws; there are, of course, agreed-on forms of behaviour; manners, as mentioned above, but nothing that we would recognise as a legal framework. Not being spoken to, not being invited to parties, finding sarcastic anonymous articles and stories about yourself in the information network; these are the normal forms of manner-enforcement in the Culture. The very worst crime (to use our terminology), of course, is murder (defined as irretrievable brain-death, or total personality loss in the case of an AI). The result - punishment, if you will - is the offer of treatment, and what is known as a slap-drone. All a slap-drone does is follow the murderer around for the rest of their life to make sure they never murder again. There are less severe variations on this theme to deal with people who are simply violent.
In a society where material scarcity is unknown and the only real value is sentimental value, there is little motive or opportunity for the sort of action we would class as a crime against property.

Kagi’s pretty good and has a Fediverse search feature, but it’s paid. I don’t mind paying, but there’s also no way to do private searches that way, so I’m not going to use it as my main search engine. It’s been good at hunting down memes on Lemmy that I want to find again though.
