Texans Die from Heat Exhaustion After Governor Bans Water Breaks
  • What a HORRIFICALLY misleading headline.

    A) Water breaks aren't banned, just no longer mandated under some local ordinances. Still mandated by federal law, in theory.

    B) The law hasn't even gone into effect yet.

    C) The deaths referred to are not from lack of water. It even specifically suggests lack of air conditioning.

    Reddit threatens the mods of r/CyberpunkGame (the main subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077). Mods decide to go down in a blaze of glory, whole sub agrees.
  • This one can't possibly end well for reddit. If they remove the mods...

    A) They leave the sub open until they find new ones, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content until then.

    B) They close the sub until they find new ones, encouraging most of the userbase to leave, and likely not come back when it reopens.

    C) They accept the flood of troll requests to takeover the sub, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content, but also with mod support.

    Not exactly a win for the userbase, but much bigger not-win for reddit, and it's gonna be fun to watch.

    *Permanently Deleted*
  • Definitely a result of recency bias here, but in a couple of scenes in Tears of the Kingdom, Ganondorf is flanked by two female Gerudo with unique outfits. If you translate the Hylian text on these outfits, they say Koume and Koutake.

    My FU to reddit - Disrupting Substantial Traffic and Rebuilding on Lemmy
  • Right, I think the point is that they can more easily identify strings of deletions that look like they came from a script" as opposed to activity that looks like legitimate user activity, because it was actually performed ny a user.

    T-Mobile Starting to Really Grind My Gears
  • I guess that explains it, but that's even more scummy, really. You're paying all these off of tbe same account, yeah? And they're still using it as an excuse to dupe the fee?

    Is your e-mail address private on Lemmy or are other users able to see it somehow?
  • Email requirements for registration are set per-instance. Beyond that, it's my understanding that only a user's existence is shared across instances, in order to attach you to your content. Your registration details stay on the instance you belong to.

    YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
  • All you have to do is host your own instance and other instances you connect with mirror their content to yours. It's part of the design of the protocol to help reduce user load on any particular server. While users can see content from any connected instance, direct communication happens almost exclusively with their own instance.

    Are there any shoes for my playstation one feet?
  • A professional podiatrist should be able to both verify your assessment of what size you need and offer options for where you can get them, if they are indeed exotic and not carried by normal retailers. They ought to have access to medical suppliers for exotic stuff.

    [Q] Router DNS question
  • Definitely this. If you're absolutely sure you can't change config on the router, then you just treat it like a modem. Let it serve up one, single DHCP lease to your own router and run your network off of that.

  • Dude's got a point, but I still can't help but think...

    "Dodongo Cavern is blocked by a giant boulder. We're starving!"

    "Why don't you eat the boulder?"
