[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

Harassment and intimidation from the U.S. government doesn’t scare Medea Benjamin — U.S. policy toward Cuba does. “I pray every day the U.S. is not going to invade,” she

I thought he made some interesting points about how ultimately this type of legislation is just encouraging 3D printer manufacturers to just abandon open source, something they’ve been trying to do for years

Oh that? That was probably (not)Skynet, our third party identification provider. Not really sure what they do, probably spelled out somewhere in this 45900 page ToS/privacy policy

Fuck, sorry about that, please just shoot over your ID and your username and I'll get that taken care of in a few days!

If you want to also shoot over all your financial details I could get it all done in a few hours!

I believe this is from the book The Fountain of Youth, or Curing by Water

Simulated .ml response since they can't see any of my posts:

What do you MEAN! You're just a DEEPLY UNSERIOUS SCRITCHED CRYPTO-ZIO-NAZI-LIBERAL who just believes western propaganda! China is glorious and suppression of free speech and the great china firewall are GOOD THINGS! ~~NK~~ DPRK is actually GLORIOUS and all the bad stuff is just CIA LIES!!! And Russia is LIBERATING UKRAINE!!

You have been .ml admin banned from .ml for rule 1 - bigotry

This take is dumb and people who perpetuate it have something wrong with them.

Lol, this has been floating around since at least 2016

If you're just referring to me cross-posting it and not linking back, check the crosspost menu of your respective client

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Another big reason, a lot of the earlier PS2 models had a poor quality laser that would go bad really quick

[-] cm0002@libretechni.ca 13 points 5 months ago

I don't think the Threadiverse is big enough for it to matter in most cases, this comm is huge, but yet there were 3 posts all day yesterday to it

Plus, memes are perfectly capable of sparking serious discussions and questions to lol

Also, I can't imagine anyone who was actually close to someone being willing to actually use something this ghoulish.

Grief is a hell of a drug, someone who's just lost someone close to them might be willing to do a lot of things for just one more day, hour, minute with them
