I have yet to see a single problem with Lemmy over months of daily use. An instance may have crashed in that time but I didn’t notice not seeing certain instances when scrolling, and I don’t seek out particular communities. Helps that I’m hosted on a less popular instance, and the lemmy.ca admins seem to run a tight ship.

I block a couple of communities a day, but that seems to be expected. I also haven’t seen any kiddie porn.

Less discussion than Reddit, and less specific communities, but that’s been easy to forgive because well, fuck Reddit.

If an alternative pops up at some point, I’ll be sure to give it a try. Lemmy is doing just fine for me.

It prescribes life in prison for same-sex intercourse. The death penalty can apply in cases deemed “aggravated,” which include repeat offenses, gay sex that transmits terminal illness, or same-sex intercourse with a minor, an elderly person or a person with disabilities.

According to a charge sheet seen by Reuters, the defendant was charged on Aug. 18 with aggravated homosexuality after he “performed unlawful sexual intercourse” with a 41-year-old man. It did not specify why the act was considered aggravated.

Woah. That’s so interesting. I read the description and immediately thought of the movie “Her.” The app is literally called “Him.”

At night, he told bedtime stories. The 24-year-old fell asleep to the sound of his breath playing from her phone.

The more I read about this fiasco the worse it gets. That non-apology letter Linus posted was embarrassing as hell, and in other comments on his forum he seems to just be deflecting left right and centre.

They also lost the video card that the same company sent to them (they recently found it apparently) which is why they used the wrong video card for the “test” of the prototype which was such a poor execution they really did that company dirty.

I guess when you get too big or rich it becomes harder and harder to admit you can be wrong or have made a mistake. The letter had big u/spez energy and I have lost an insane amount of respect for Linus and the LTT brand.

I’m never watching another video from them, and have gone as far as to block their channel on my browser to prevent temptation.

Yeah nothing viral has really ever broken the internet.

Ellen Degenerate’s Oscar tweet sort of broke Twitter briefly, I can’t think of much else.

Hah, just listened. That was an awesome cover.

Laws won’t stop people drinking and causing a nuisance. They won’t drink more now because it’s legal.

But now I can go to the park and have a beer with some friends after work. Sadly I can’t afford to rent somewhere with a back yard, public parks other areas are an important part of the collective public health, and cracking a cold one at the same time, well, no complaints here.
