Same here. But I avoid saying it too often because I always get jumped by a bunch of forced-upgrade lemmings who insult me and tell me I’m a dumbass because I expose myself to immediate and terrible danger from evil hackers in the next 30 seconds. Which of course isn’t true, but most people have been so drilled into blindly updating anything anytime an update is available without even checking what they’re installing that they’ll aggressively confront you if you don’t.
The instance I use (SDF) has stopped fetching Youtube video titles and thumbnails weeks ago. I just add them manually now.
The SDF instance runs 0.19.8.
Save yourself the bother and just watch Trump on TV for an authentic fascist experience.
Well, it’s not black and white.
Some relevant politically-charged content can slip through even with a no-politics rule. For instance, I moderate a community on disability which has “No politics” in the rules. But I let Luigi stuff through, despite it leading very quickly to debates on US political choices, because it is relevant and it’s emotionally charged for the people involved. But if any Luigi comments devolved into straight politics (rather than focused on healthcare insurance) I’d kill them.
I think a community can have a no-politics rule and still leave room for stuff that’s relevant to the community. But it depends on the community, what the members want and how the moderators enforce the rules. At the end of the day, it’s up to the moderators to set the tone and make sure things stay the way the community wants them to be.
If the light-hearted communities you don’t want to read about politics in have a “No politics” rules, the mods should intervene when someone starts plugging politics. If they don’t have this rule, you should suggest it be added.
No irony or sarcasm. The USA really triggers me.
If you ask for less ice, no screw you, you’re not getting the full amount of coffee that you paid for…
Actually you got exactly what you asked for: you asked for a product with less of something…

You do realize this is to enchilada what Papa John’s is to pizza right?
Yes there is: chemical cheese flavor is cheaper than cheese.
“Cheesy queso” is there for a very specific reason: they can’t legally put “cheese” on the box because that has a legal definition, and there must be a minimum percentage of cheese in the product for the box to legally bear the word “cheese”.
“Cheesy queso” has no legal definition. So even if the product only has 0.1% cheese in it - or no cheese at all - it’s not illegal to write “cheesy queso”.
Well okay, maybe I wasn’t clear. I agree with you that you certainly aren’t getting enough nourishment for an entire family - and in fact, even if you have enough food volume for an entire family, this crap wouldn’t count as nourishment anyway. And you’re probably paying this box of goopy shit dollars on the pennies it cost to make.
I was just pointing out that, like most things the agro industry puts on boxes, “family size” has no legal meaning and therefore is technically correct depending on how you interpret it.
Incidentally, another thing that means jack squat on your box of dubious food is “Now with more cheese”. If they started out with zero cheese (and no, the stuff with a cheesy taste used in ultra-processed food isn’t legally cheese) then adding a flake or two of real cheddar makes it technically possible to say “Now with more cheese”.
“Family size” simply means “can serve an entire family”. It doesn’t mean “Can stuff 4 American bellies full”. It’s hard to judge the size of the box in your photo, but I can see serving one of those enchiladas per family member, along with pasta and salad or something.
HP… What a surprise.
I wasn’t aware Lemmy was competing with Reddit.
I understand the appeal of “teaching them a lesson”, purely for spiteful reasons. But there are problems with that approach:
You can teach a child never to put his hand on the burner by putting his hand on the burner. He’ll learn alright, but he’ll also have a nasty burn. Similarly, you don’t want people to learn the dangers of populism and extreme right by letting the extreme-right populist do stupid shit and wreck their lives.
We who didn’t vote for the dangerous populist live in the same country as those who did: even if we wanted to let the dangerous populist hurt them to teach them a lesson, he’ll hurt us too in the process.
History always repeat itself: even if everybody learns a hard lesson after Trump is done wrecking the economy - or worse - our children, or our children’s children will invariably elect another Trump some day. So we might as well do our best to limit the damage each time.
74% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs will worsen inflation
How about not voting the guy in then?
You do that, I do that, but most people just click Update. And that’s if whatever wants to update itself lets you even opt out: Windows for example will nag you into submission at best, and more likely simply apply the update without asking your permission, and while you’re in the middle of important work if it wants to.
