If you want to maintain some sort of privacy when voting on any platform in the Fediverse:
Create an alt account, do not make any posts/comments with it, only use it for voting.

Otherwise we would need an instance that generates a bunch of voting accounts. Then, when you vote on something, the instance randomly assigns that vote to one of their voting accounts and sends out that vote information to other instances. Then only the Admins of your home instance would be able to view your voting history.

Looks like they were actually aware of it after all.

If you watch the video of it, they come in very calmly and the first thing they say is, "you've been swatted again."

TL/DW:
Pokimane started a snack company. There are rumors that the company is going bankrupt. The website is suddenly inaccessible (this is what the "deleted everything" statement is referring to).

Well, on the fediverse votes are public.
For example any Mbin instance can show you who is upvoting.

Although keep in mind that an upvote doesn't necessarily mean that someone agrees with everything that was said (or even anything that was said). It could just mean that they think the post is fitting for the community and contributes to the discussion.

Personally, a tankie statement like that is definitely deserving of a downvote.

You must be very young,
haven't seen many movies,
only seen the worst movies,
or else you really need to get into directing and make a movie that will put everything else to shame.

Or maybe that's the translated name of some movie I've never seen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Although, I am curious, what would it take to make a good movie in your opinion? Or what do current movies seem to be lacking in?

MegaLag just reuploaded it to YouTube.

The "Natural Flavors" ingredient in the U.S.

Just because something claims to have natural flavoring for strawberry, doesn't mean it actually comes from strawberries.

Something "vanilla" flavored may actually come from chemically processed wood pulp, or even the anal castor sacs of a beaver.

  • "Zero calories" or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it's less than 1 gram.

For example, take a look at the "Serving size" of some cooking spray. 1/3 of a second of spray means 0.25g... So everything is zeroed out in the Nutrition facts.

Wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened.

For instance, there are regulations in place that mandate that anything called "white chocolate" must contain at least a certain percentage of milk. Which, in my opinion, is ridiculous. If someone wanted to create "white chocolate" using cacao butter and a dairy free alternative, they should be able to call it white chocolate.

Worst case scenario here, we just adopt a name that's ridiculously close to what it used to be, like "vedgurger" or "sausagies".

Wait, why would they get in trouble? PepsiCo owns all of these companies (Frito Lays, Naked, Doritos/Cheetos, etc.).

This is an important point. Simply giving a ton of rice to an area will put the rice farmers in that area out of business.

They'll need to grow something else to make a living, but then when the next year comes around, no one is making rice anymore and they'll be dependent on that external flow of rice.

The title of a 2,000-year-old Greek philosophical text has been read by computer scientists using AI to study scrolls buried by the eruption of Vesuvius.

I've heard of similar tech being used to decipher text from the dead sea scrolls, it's awesome to see these advances happening.
