I used to love both Vanilla and Cherry Coke, but I can't stand cola flavors (any brand) ever since I got covid last year. So it's been mostly the cream soda flavor Dr. Pepper if I drink soda at home.

It's only an ad if I don't like the discussion. Posting about a mechanical keyboard I bought and calling it great? That's not an ad. If you do it though, that is an ad. Everyone on the internet is a shill except for me.

I've never been able to get one of these 3D images to work, but I got it here. It was pretty cool.

Probably the biggest shock to getting a Mac for work is how all the basic QoL apps want $20+ a year subscriptions. I'm not paying a subscription to reverse my scrollwheel for my mouse.

That's basically CES in a nutshell. Nearly everything shown off won't be useful for years.

The headline seems to be targeted at dedicated Verge readers who know that AI is the current big buzzword at CES, they are likely a bit tired of it, and are interested in something that's not AI.

The article is about how new products are getting support for Wifi 7, so probably none of your current devices.

I think it's mostly true in New York, but that's the only city where I've heard that.

I think the federated nature makes it tough to just have a blanket policy of leaving it up to the community mods. Ideally you would want the report to go through the community mods and then the host instance admins first, but you might not be able to contact those instance admins to see if they have looked at the post. You also have no control of the community mods and would not expect them to remove the post because of your rules.

Even with that, I do agree that something should change. As it stands, you can have posts disappear from largest Lemmy server from seemingly arbitrary admin decisions and there's no formal process to appeal. It seems like you would need some sort of Alliance where you all agree to certain guidelines and have a formal process for these cross-server disputes.

Maybe there should also be some sort of 'Approved by host admin' system so that other admins can at least know that you looked at it.

Arent federated comments and posts from you instance hosted on each server you federated with? Admins of each individual server have the right to moderate content seen by their users. If they couldn't remove individual comments or posts, then the only other option they would have if your users are breaking another server's rules would be to defederate.

In this particular case, I feel like the removal was unjustified.

That's total fast food restaurants, not fast food chains.

The author complaining about Threads defederation from spinster was a pretty big red flag. It's on every mainstream mastodon blocklist I've seen and it's obvious he knows why. Really leaned into that "how can they discriminate against women!?" dog whistle that TERFs love to use.

Edit: Oh, it turns out he's married to the person who runs that server. He's also worked with Gab, used some of their code for his soapbox, and seems to have been involved with Trump's truth social. No wonder his feelings are hurt.

It does include the DLC.

OEMs benefit from the rule. People (as in the average non-techie) who have older hardware or don't have the right bios settings will feel the need to purchase new hardware that is already running the latest version of Windows.

You heard about Pluto?

The negativity is sort of infectious too. I just picked up Runeterra for the first time since last year. Last time I was playing, I was starting to second guess myself about buying the event pass because of all the dead game rhetoric. Why invest any time and money into the game if it turns out their right and the game ends up being shut down?

Streaming metrics are dumb. I love the game, but just thinking about watching someone stream it puts me to sleep.

Pathfinder changelings are very different from D&D changelings which is what the meme is referencing. D&D changelings are a race of shapeshifters from the Eberron setting. Pathfinder changelings are the children of hags and are overall closer to the actual folklore of a changeling.

It's to the tune of the 1967 Spider-Man TV show theme. I imagine the particle man song also references it.

The series S is the lowest spec console that they are targeting. In order to get the performance they want out of it, they are trying to optimize as much of the game as they can. Those optimizations have decreased the amount of RAM, VRAM, and CPU load the game is using and those optimizations affect the PC version as well.

They haven't though? I just checked the list of blocked instances and they are both still there.

Costco doesn't have hand baskets anywhere. The word basket in the image refers to the cart.
