Bigotry towards russians? Lmao

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

@scy Wären Nazis so blöd, sich als FOSS-Projekt tief ins Discord zu bohren?

So deppert sind nur die Linken.........

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

@mm If you can get to Turkey, that seems to be the place that all of the locals go for their expensive dental work.

A friend got upper and lower implants (full set) for I think under $10k.

Not cheap, by a long shot, but a whole lot cheaper than going through a local dentist. He's been very happy with the results.

Majority Leader Dish - Update 11/10

The wheels are starting to come off the Schumer bus... 😮

Last night the 600,000 member Machinists Union called on Schumer to step down. This morning AOC telegraphed her lack of support. Now, Bernie Sanders just said unequivocally that he will not support Schumer, and that he thinks there will be a challenger (looking at you Chris Van Hollen 👀 ).

Keep up the pressure! It's working!

Update: Add Warnock to the 'ready for a change' list.

@alice @leigh My own experience corroborates this in a way: bigotries cluster. If someone is bigoted in one way, they are bigoted in others. And bigotry is a big factor in dehumanization which enables scamming and so many other ills of society

Their rules are on their front page.

In my professional¹ opinion, shitty men are multi-tools.

- a couple lousy screwdrivers and they fancy themselves MacGyver

- a lot of otherwise nice guys keep one around because they think they're cool

- you'll break a nail trying to pry anything useful out of one

- they claim to be a survival tool—but they fold unexpectedly and will cut you in the process

- risk of injury increases when we act like the dull ones are still sharp

- where you find one lousy tool, there's a dozen more nearby

- and as @leigh points out in the linked post, if they're bad at one thing, they're probably bad at a bunch of other things too²

² in my experience in fraud-detection, scammers also tended to be racist, sexist, and homophobic—like it was all a package deal

Saturn Behind the Moon
Image Credit: Roberto Ortu

Explanation: Sometimes Saturn disappears. It doesn't really go away, of course -- it just disappears from our view when Earth's Moon moves in front. Such a Saturnian eclipse, more formally called an occultation, was visible in early 2025 along a small swath of Earth -- from Greenland through central Europe and into northern Africa. The featured image is a digital fusion of three images, the first of just Saturn before it disappeared, and then two more of the Moon with different exposure lengths. The images were taken from Sardinia, Italy, after sunset. The bright dot near Saturn is not a moon of Saturn, but rather the star 85 Aquarii, which is further behind Saturn than Saturn is behind the Moon. The next time the Moon moves in front of Saturn, as visible from some place on Earth, will be in 2031.
