Speaking to the bot thing, a few of us have access to it in order to remove egregious violations in communities where we may not be mods.
I’ve used it to remove CSAM accounts and posts for example. Middle of the night spam attacks, and so on.
Really it’s for content in which there is no question it should be removed… when the bot is working. :) Sorry @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world ! ;) It doesn’t work a LOT!
Weird how repeatedly calling for an immediate cease fire and a two state solution in Israel = “genocide”.
Removed all your “Democrats = Genocide” comments for the bullshit they are.

“Monday’s meeting in Washington, D.C., comes one day after Harris called for an immediate, temporary cease-fire in Gaza to facilitate an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and detainees. Harris is expected to continue pressing Israel to pause the fighting and allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.”
July - https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/25/harris-netanyahu-israel-cease-fire-00171315
“Vice President Kamala Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in private Thursday and followed it with a strikingly forceful call on his government to get a cease-fire deal done and ease the suffering of civilians in Gaza.”
“Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated her call for a ceasefire-for-hostage deal in Gaza while expressing sympathy for both Israelis and Palestinians affected by the conflict. Harris condemned the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel but said “far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed” by Israel’s ongoing military offensive in Gaza.”
Do you get something out of mis-representing what she said and did? Or were you just not actually paying attention?
I saw a TMobile ad the other night offering 4 “free” iPhones and I’m like… “WTF do I need 3 extra phones for? Just give me a fair deal on ONE phone.”
“Buh… buh… when they go low, we go high!”
Story kind of buries what happened… asshole was reported doing this in 11/23. School officials did nothing, and they went on to victimize FIFTY girls in a school of about 600.
Nothing was done for almost a year(!) Parents found out in 5/24 and action was finally taken 8/24.
Parents demanded school officials step down, and they delayed doing that too…
Better article on it here:
I wish I could get Verizon fiber. :(
I can say I finally had the option to move from an ISP with data caps (Comcast) to an ISP without data caps (Quantum Fiber) and since switching, I’ve had more outages in 2 months than in 10+ years on Comcast.
I’m sure it’s more the ISP than the data caps…
Edit: Just got up this morning, down again. 3rd time in 2 weeks.
Looks like the Beeb swapped headlines on you, it currently reads:
“Russian gains accelerating as Biden approves new weapon use for Ukraine”
Please change it or we’ll have to remove it.
Seems like they REALLY want to change headlines! 3rd times the charm!
Thanks for fixing it!
Set up an Apple account using the company info, not yours. Problem solved.
Obsessively refresh the “There is a power outage in your area!” page.
Really looks like what we have here is a case of the zeitgeist.

36? 38 hours? Something like that… I kind of lost track around 30.
Gaming. Ultima IV.
The hallucinations were interesting. Hard flat surfaces like table tops and counters started rippling like water.
No social media links. Twitter by proxy is STILL Twitter.
Last time I was in I was very happy to see they ditched the “Nook” section.
They’re alphabetical here… alphabetical by author. That way all the authors books stay together.
Are you expecting it to be alphabetical by title?
Good luck finding all the Sue Grafton books! ;)

The Wii was a console system for people who were unaware of or didn’t like console systems.
So if you’re in that co-hort, or an active Nintendo fan… yeah, it’s a great console.
It says a lot that the best selling titles on it largely came with extra plastic bits that are likely collecting dust now.
Full disclosure, I own a Wii, it’s hooked up and running and everything. Other than occasionally showing off the absolute insanity that is Muscle March, I really can’t think of any game on it I’d still play.
When anyone says we have no business bringing extinct species back to life, I’m just going to gesture wildly at the 35,000 year old kitten that died around 3 weeks old.
YOU BRING THESE BABIES BACK RIGHT NOW!
It’s not racism to point out that a surprising number of Putin critics have died from falling from tall buildings.
