  • I kinda get it as a policy decision. I don't like it, but I understand the risk and I can empathize.

    What really bugs me though is this announcement right here and then it just... didn't happen. It feels kind of dishonest to have a big announcement welcoming them back and then nothing comparative saying that they apparently changed their minds immediately. Feels like there should at least be an edit/addendum to this announcement being like 'psych, fingers crossed!'. Trying to defuse with humor, I do know any statement would invite discontent from the userbase, but I feel like the complete lack of one kind of kills our trust in the admins here even more.

  • It's real confusing.

    They state that they've done this right there, but it seems like there might have been a miscommunication somewhere and doesn't look like anyone ever actually got around to removing the block at a technical level. Both piracy communities are still currently blocked on lemmy.world a year later.

  • It's just for-profit prisons but now in El Salvador:

    Bukele later confirmed the agreement with Rubio on X, saying in a post, “We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted US citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee.”

    El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, commonly referred to as CECOT, is the country’s largest and newest prison, with a maximum capacity of 40,000 inmates.

    “The fee would be relatively low for the US but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable,” he added.

    Primary goal is stated as holding deportees, but the option of holding US citizens was floated by El Salvador as well. Deporting US citizens in this matter should currently be illegal.

  • I'm with you, they seem to really like being the underdogs and it seems to work out well for them from a fundraising perspective. It definitely feels like they're angling to just barely lose.

    I hope they eventually prove me wrong too, but it does feel like when they do well enough to win it's mostly an unfortunate accident in their eyes.

  • It's somewhat tricky, it refers to 'the people' or 'persons', but some things don't make sense if you apply it to non-citizens. There's been cases to establish how it applies in regards to specific amendments, but I haven't heard of something coming up that definitively established whether that applies for the right to assemble.

  • Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What’s next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type “McDonald’s” before I can actually navigate there?

    Don't give them new ideas, Sony might jump in and patent that too.

  • hmmm

  • I used to have a job supporting devices like these. You don't need a lot of power to run these and you can get a used device exceptionally cheap that can probably do the job most of the time. You can get really old too if the resolution on the image isn't too high, probably not actually older than ARM, but old enough where you wonder how close it is for a second.

  • So, we've got a range.

    The cheapest set of generic eggs is the Penny Smart Grade A Large Eggs for $3.99, but my local grocery also has another set of eggs that appears to be equivalent in quality from the store brand for $4.99. There's also cage free for $7.99 and another cage free that looks to be identical from the same brand for $8.69. Generic organic (cage/etc not listed) in the plastic container is $6.99.

  • They work sporadically, but you have to fit a few fairly specific archetypes to get a significant amount of matches. There's more options that you can shoot for beyond hyper-attractive guy but not a lot more.

    If you're a generic man looking to find a generic woman to have a generic relationship with, then the odds are stacked against you for most of them.
