Alternative uses of a 3D printer: Toner transfer on a watch dial
  • Be careful with inkjet photo paper in a laser printer. In particular, the glossy paper will typically have a coating that may come off in the laser printer due to the heat and pressure the printer uses, and that can cause issues over time.

  • FCC hits Verizon with $1M fine for dropping 911 calls, again • The Register
  • It was also the second time it happened. It was a mistake, but one that really shouldn't have happened. And it was minor in terms of how long it was down, but not having access to 911 is potentially a major issue.

    People are just sick of companies not being held responsible for repeated incompetence which often comes from cost cutting measures.

  • This has to be a joke...
  • Def some better than others. I give them props because looking through the modlog, they are good at removing or banning trolls, bigots, and far right disinfo. I just personally disagree with the seemingly frequent support for Russia, China, North Korea, etc.

    At least in memes, politics isn't the focus of the community.

  • This has to be a joke...
  • Oh thanks I appreciate it, I think it was a solid meme. No community is perfect, but at least it's easy to find an alternative community if one ends up... not being a good fit lol

  • This has to be a joke...
  • Hey that's me!

    reason: lemmy.ml rule 1 ("butt hurt")

    I'm not really butt hurt. I'm actually a mod myself, but for a tiny community that doesn't get a bunch of awful comments. I really do have respect for the amount of garbage the mods in worldnews@lemmy.ml and memes@lemmy.ml have to go through. Most of the comments they remove are completely valid.

    But this is a meme sub so...

    What the heck did you just hecking say about me, you little mod? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the lemmy.world Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda.ml, and I have over 300 confirmed comments. I am trained in gorilla shitposting and I'm the top sniper in the entire fediverse armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another mod. I will wipe you the heck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my hecking words. You think you can get away with saying that poopy to me over the Internet? Think again, meanypants. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the fediverse and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, picklebrain. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your modlog. You're hecking over, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can comment at you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in verbal combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the lemmy Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable bubblebutt off the face of the Internet, you little bozo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" mod action was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your hecking finger. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goshdarn dumbo. I will poop butthurt comments all over you and you will drown in it. You're hecking done, kiddo.

  • Removed
    Easier said than done
  • I was curious so I looked in the modlog at your deleted comments. Some of them I honestly agree with being removed, but there are some odd deletions there.

    Like your comment that was removed for "reason: Human wave tactics meme" is pretty tame and doesn't break any actual rules. Seems like a mod on worldnews@lemmy.ml is just butt hurt by anti-russia comments. What a weird reason for removal.

    Edit: wow, just went down the rabbit hole of looking at what those mods in particular have been removing. They're all very obviously pro China and Russia.

    Like this one was particularly interesting. On a post titled 'China doesn’t need to invade to achieve Taiwanese unification' a user commented just "*occupation" and the comment was removed for reason: Google White terror KMT. So... that's not a real reason. Just an abuse of power by the mod due to political bias. Cool.

    Edit x2: That said, thank you lemmy for making everything so transparent so we can see all the info we need to keep everyone accountable

  • Denver basic income reduces homelessness, food insecurity
  • Well if you think about it, you can actually give money to those in poverty by instead just giving that money to the rich. Because it just trickles down. So I think we should start this program with the rich people, and wait for some sort of trickling down effect to occur very soon. Any day now.

  • this government does not represent me (or Jewish people as a whole)
  • You're really fighting for your life in these comments 🤣 maybe take a break from commenting and touch grass. You're not getting downvotes on every single comment because everyone here is a dumb MAGA pro-israel Zionist. Your arguments are just flawed

  • for all the "anti-authoritarians" out there
  • Right, sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the definition of idealist "One whose conduct or thinking is influenced by ideals that often conflict with practical considerations. "

    Not that I necessarily am "An adherent of any system of philosophical idealism."

    But yes, I'll read more Marxist theory specifically. I don't have trouble interacting with leftists online very much, it's just when I see leftists who are strictly authoritarian. The "by any means necessary" just ain't it for me

  • for all the "anti-authoritarians" out there
  • So we just need super smart authoritarian communist to lead a bloody revolution backed by the uneducated masses that will then be handed over peacefully to the uneducated masses once communism is firmly established?

    I support communism, I want revolutionary change, and I'm an idealist. But I don't understand how that's realistically possible. Theoretically possible, but the number of complications that would arise, the number of variables that could go wrong and destroy the entire movement, how easy it would be to corrupt... It's never happened before for a reason, and having violent, bloody revolutions every few decades in the hopes it finally works perfectly this time doesn't seem constructive or intelligent to me. There has to be a better way to balance how fast the change happens and how fragile and volatile the system will be during the change

  • Are you a 'tankie'
  • The hard part of politics is drawing hard lines. But I think many would say it's authoritarian at the point when a government is enforcing a specific ideology with force and violence, and limiting personal freedoms.

    I personally don't understand how someone can be authoritarian and communist when communism is classless, but to be authoritarian there must essentially be an authority in a separate hierarchical class. But I also likely have more to learn so feel free to correct me
