EDIT: dbzer0 had nothing to do with this ban, it was done by a Lemmy.World admin.

I updated my post after another user stated that it wasn’t lemmy.world admins that performed the ban but the db0 team that did. I can’t say with certainty that’s actually the case since the modlog is pretty opaque and I don’t have full knowledge of how [federated] actions are propagated & displayed.

I (incorrectly?) assumed since those communities had existed for so long on the dbzer0 instance they had at least tacit approval from the admins there and were in communication with them enough that a full ban wouldn’t occur – when I saw the removal in the modlog I didn’t even consider that possibility.

Sorry for kicking up drama here if the Lemmy.World team had no part in this :(

I actually just finished it, wish there were more episodes. There was a lot more humor than I was expecting which really helped to offset the depressing aspects. Yeah, I really can’t imagine the government supporting the show aside from it portraying the US as an absolutely dominating force.

From a casting angle I think it’s kinda funny Jarhead had a Sarsgaard and Generation Kill had a Skarsgård. I also kept thinking the Rolling Stone writer (Lee Tergesen) looked like a relative of John Michael Higgins.

Thanks for the reminder to watch that series. I liked The Wire and We Own This City by David Simon so I’m assuming it is a more thoughtful show than the title and imagery suggests.

Maybe if the US Army had cooperated it wouldn’t have been so terrible! At least it provides a chance to see Phil Hartman.

And rarely you get to see gems like this from the movie Sgt. Bilko (1996):

Just a heads up, this is another spam account pushing a garbage website. @[email protected] [<-now banned] & @[email protected] are both newly created accounts linking only to this site.

The disclaimer on the website states [emphasis added]:

Why the sudden switch in address names? Why is the contact us page just a gmail account and no additional info or even a generic web form? Unlike the other sections, the “about” page isn’t in English at all.

Can’t speak for the veracity, but I’ve got two magnets with the following:

1934

Average income = $1,601.00
Loaf of bread = $.08
Gallon of gas = $.10
Gallon of milk = $.45

New car = $625.00
New house = $5,972.00

1958

Average income = $4,650.00
Loaf of bread = $.19
Gallon of gas = $.24
Gallon of milk = $1.01

New car = $2,155.00
New house = $11,975.00

I don’t know if the functionality exists yet for the mods/admins, but I think it’s pretty safe to assume any links pointing to that domain are coming from bots/spammers and the accounts should just be automatically banned. I first saw that site linked to about 2 days ago from variations on the username “johnson”, then from a (new) account named debbie, and today from kelvinwashington to worldnews and now here.

It’s all clickbait ad-laden garbage and it’s getting tiresome having to report each instance of it.

Seems more economic than political to me, but also why such the strong reaction to an on-topic reply? As you even said yourself:

I don’t really care all that much about any particular issue. I enjoy copying the ideas suggested by others in the fediverse and transforming them into new issues, as many individuals do not take this initiative.

Your account has existed for all of 3 hours and you’re trying to come off like a well-known fixture of the community whose opinions are above reproach. I’ll also say it seems suspect how quickly detracting comments are earning downvotes but not replies in this post.

In short, I don’t believe you, your post or its engagement, are sincere.

Imagine a social media landscape where every piece of content is perfectly tagged

working tirelessly to make your online experience safer and more enjoyable

All of this feels a little disingenuous when it’s not even mentioned that all this tagging and classifying would also make it much easier for training LLMs or tracking groups/individuals/movements.

The rules are clearly not enforced in this community. This troll posted obvious bait yesterday too, was reported, and the post is still up and they have not been warned/banned.

I’ll pay for the whole seat BUT ONLY NEED THE EDGE!

Surely you’ve seen the movie Airplane!

Thanks for clarifying! Hope the upgrade goes smoothly :)

We wanted to announce that we will be attempting to upgrade Lemmy.World to version 0.19.3 on Saturday.

I don’t regularly deal with converting between timezones but I’m unable to figure out whether this upgrade is happening on Saturday or Sunday. My calendar shows March 3rd as being Sunday.

I think most people would rather use the clean adfree, unwatermarked material

If most people would rather doesn’t that by definition make it the popular opinion?

Nutritional information on cereals is often misleading because its based on unrealistic serving sizes

This is only tangentially relevant, but I am baffled at how this is allowed:

“100% Vitamin C per 8oz” – container only holds 6.75oz

From what I can find, it’s actually the demo Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams… that did that. The full game also uses the system time for changes but not that specifically-

The A-Life system features an evolving music engine, allowing tempo, pitch, and melody to alter depending on the state of Nightopians within the level. The feature runs from the Sega Saturn’s internal clock, which alters features in the A-Life system depending on the time.

EDIT: Not particularly exciting, but I found and took a picture of my copies - evidently the Christmas demo came from Blockbuster Video.
