'Unprecedented': How bird flu became an animal pandemic

Good thing they're making masks illegal because of the pro-Palestinian protests and the CEO assassination.





Does "Top" sorting account for downvotes? Edit: Also, which sorting method is the best to use on Lemmy?


Or does it only count upvote only?

I searched lemmy and can't find the answer. Lemmy documentation also didn't specify.

Edit: Sorry didn't really wanna make a whole post about it, but like my curiosity can't stand not knowing every detail of Lemmy. I want to know this so I know how to sort Lemmy better

Follow up Question: Which sorting method do y'all think is the best?

Scaled and subscribed. There's a lot of other languages and other topics that I don't know much about on All. I'm sure that they're useful, but I don't understand it and I can't meaningfully contribute to it. Subscribed is more curated and therefore more meaningful to me. The key is to be lax with what you subscribe to. Seek out niche communities, and subscribe to communities that may not perfectly fit your interests - you want to diversify your feed, so subscribe to basically everything that you'd be ok with seeing.

Then, sort by Scaled. Hot has a tendency of pushing all the big communities to the top and burying the smaller communities, so you'll just get a ton of news articles in your feed. Scaled will normalize for community size and make for a more diverse feed

I like looking at my subscriptions and sorting by Hot which is newer than Top

Leading demographer says 2024 may be rare year where more people leave Israel than move there


No kidding! Who moves to a warzone?

We didn't see anyone moving to Israel as it was being conquered by the Babylonians.



Rachel Maddow on Tulsi Gabbard: Six things about Trump's pick for director of national intelligence


How much will Americans get to know about the people Donald Trump is choosing to run the U.S. government? In the absence of any real vetting the way it's usually done, Rachel Maddow presents a Rachel Maddow Show Public Servant Announcement to hopefully help fill that gap. In this episode, Rachel takes a closer look at Trump's choice for director of national intelligence, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who has a deep history of anti-gay activism and a disturbing amount of support from Russian state media.

Unfortunately because of email services being monopolized by Microsoft and Google I wouldn't be shocked to see them block X Mail and make it basically worthless.

For as much as the Joe Biden administration seems bent of increasing customer convenience with its dying breath, I wish they'd do something to keep Microsoft and Google from blocking personal/custom email servers.

I guess this was being sarcastic, but just in case it wasn't:

If you launch the game through Steam that probably won't matter, because Steam brings along its own libraries for games to use. That collection of libraries is called "Steam Runtime", and if the game only uses libraries from the Steam Runtime, it will run on any distribution that the Steam Runtime is compatible with (what afaik means basically all distributions).

There are some exceptions though. Graphics drivers for instance are not bundled in the Steam Runtime.

And last, but not least: Even if you don't run the game through Steam, it's probably just a bunch of libraries that need to be installed. They only need to be the same or a newer version than those used on the developers' build server.

They should recall every Cybertruck. Looks cool but it has an insane amount of issues, some of them dangerous.


in reply to Flat Moon Theories

why do you want a bullshit pork roll?

What does the federal government do that you want to keep around?

realcaseyrollins doesn't like this.

in reply to Flat Moon Theories

National defense

Fight federal crimes

Collect taxes

Legislate

Negotiate with foreign governments

Set economic policies

There's a lot the federal government does that it needs to continue doing! I feel like the "just shut it all down" people fall into the categories of:

1) Enjoying chaos/wanting to watch the world burn

2) Disgruntled libertarians who are mad that the government is too big (they're right BTW)

3) Trump shills

in reply to realcaseyrollins

National defense, tell me about those drones

Fight federal crimes, yes, fund the fbi.....

Collect taxes. Disband the irs and end the income tax please

Legislate. What, legislate what, this is a retard answer

Negotiate with foreign governments. Ohh yes, to pay for drinking club dates that end in bombing kids, great, love it

Set economic policies.
MORE INFLATION.

These are such great reasons.
So great you are correct in saying people like me are right

Try again.

How is defunding the federal government supposed to help us stop the drones again?

While the FBI is corrupt, they do also fight and stop legitimate crimes and criminals.

Disband the irs and end the income tax please


I want to replace the income tax with a national sales tax on digital purchases, personally, but that necessitates an IRL to collect that money still.

legislate what


Laws, mostly

Negotiate with foreign governments. Ohh yes, to pay for drinking club dates that end in bombing kids, great, love it


Again, how is defunding the government supposed to make any of that better?

Set economic policies. MORE INFLATION.


Or less, depending on what the federal government chooses to do with that power. In any case, will shutting down the government stop inflation?

See this is what I'm talking about. Almost none of what you're upset about is actually improved by a government shutdown. At best, it's just paused, and will pick back up again once the government funding resumes.

in reply to Flat Moon Theories

You could've at least made me sound like a monster by saying benefits for losers.
And then I could say let them learn to swim or drown.

If I were mike Johnson, I'd be playing extreme hardball.
I'd start the negotiations at 6 months of government shutdown unless they agree to single bills.

And then just shut it down until they cave.

Now that's what I'm down with. Just don't shut down the government in pursuit of vague disgruntlements.

in reply to realcaseyrollins

they can stay out of economic policy as far as I'm concerned.

Also, there are far too many federal crimes.

And our international policy for several administrations has been "give us your shit or we'll bomb you into the ground and take it ". Let's have less of that please.

in reply to Chromeratt

Oh good grief. SMH. Changing policy is not the same as ragequitting governing!

None of these issues are solved by shutting down the government, they will only be fixed by new reforms and new legislation, AFTER the government is up and running again.
