I've been having problems with it misbehaving on this instance for a while, so I know where you're coming from. Was also having problems on lemmy.world - but they seem to have beaten whatever it was, because it works fine there now. I really can't stand lemmy's interface without old so I'll check back here every few weeks or so to look over the piracy stuff and see if you added it back. Cheers.
He's also the reason no conservatives believe in climate change. He started the meme that it's a socialist conspiracy to extract money out of the US. So not only did he not contribute anything worthwhile, he actively worked to make money at the whole world's expense.
I recently was holding out hope for a franchise that was similarly treated. I can tell you from experience that Sims 5 will make a billion dollars and they will then fire all the programmers who made it.
I mean, this all sounds like shit, yes. But sometimes things are only a little bit shit and yet the answer is still "redesign the approach" (ie: start over).
Hexbear is... I'm just old I guess, I don't understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I'm reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it's hexbear.
But I don't exactly understand why. I can't see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a unique (and contrarian) way of expressing... all worldviews, seemingly. It feels like an inside joke that I don't have enough information about to understand.
Doesn't seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a directed agenda. Is it just trolls? They seem to earnest to be trolls.
There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.
That's because Christian apologists constantly brigade those articles.
Tin-foil hat time but I'd be willing to bet they have mechanisms to do something resembling naked shorting with crypto. I have no idea what that voodoo might be, but they conjure shares out of thin air for shorting stocks, and they've managed to package crypto into ETFs some-fucking-how so why not. I feel like I'm increasingly noticing that nothing really seems to crash anymore.
I deleted my original comment before you replied because I am not really in the mood to defend this but the OP was talking about the pain of developing for different browsers and I don't care what is a fork of what, this is a fact: Chrome, Firefox and Safari all render differently and have to be catered to individually.
Also, Safari, between desktop and mobile, has 30% of the market to Firefox's 8%.
I don't LIKE it, but there are "effectively" three, not two, rendering engines.
I went there too. I think you're underselling the transporter. They acted like you were about to get on like a motion sim or something, lined everybody up on those rows in front of the doors, then everything went black, sparkles coming from everywhere, a giant rush of wind upward is what it felt like - very confusing - and then BAM, the lights came on and you were on the bridge of the Enterprise-D.
Hell of an effect and something I'll never forget.
