Great! Deal with Iran, peace in the Middle East, woohoo... now back to investigating and releasing more of the Epstein Files?

Maybe Zuck should pay his employees more for the extra work put on them from the layoff, to lift their spirits.

Title line makes it sound like Europe was returning to an antiquated partnership with Sub-Saharan nations.

In my experience comparing to the alien site, the average Lemmy server is more tolerant of hot takes and conservatism in terms of getting banned or comments removed, however that does not prevent those takes from being heavily downvoted. That may be "ganging up" but it's not censorship (not that this is the argument you made, but it's a common conservative refrain I hear)

When it comes to certain topics that will get you banned or your comments removed, that will depend on the community or instance. You must follow the rules of your home instance and the one you post to, whatever "debate club" talking point you have doesn't matter here. Some rules are implied or based on local law. Examples:

• Hate speech is regulated by Canadian law on Lemmy.ca, so anything I write that clearly appears afoul of that can be removed
• Lemmy.blahaj.zone is explicitly an LGBTQ+ safe space, so there's no room for debates related to genders and pronouns on those communities, regardless of what you think is normal in your culture.
• Feddit.org is beholden to German law so criticism of Israel (being conflated with antisemitism) is a touchy subject.
• Beehaw.org tolerates a variety of viewpoints, but if you act like a jerk or a troll about them, you will be quickly banned. "Bee nice" is vague on purpose to capture nuance rather than provide prescriptive rules and they have high standards.
• Lemmy.ml mods are less tolerant of Russia and China critical views, especially re: Ukraine.

The fediverse, as a whole, has a very loose set of shared values, but the idea is that if you can't have the discussion that you want, you go elsewhere to a place that you think you will. You have the freedom to move instances, each instance and its users have the freedom whether to accept you or not. Each instance has its own sort of culture, and if you think a ban from an instance was unreasonable, bring your receipts including account handles and modlogs to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com to get community feedback.

A "Pint" of beer served commercially in Canada must be 20 imperial (UK) ounces (aka ~568 mL), with a 2.5% margin of error permitted within the law, unlike a US pint (16 US fl oz ~473mL).

Just for fun, "Une pinte" of alcohol in French served commercially is "a quart" of alcohol in English which is double that value.

This was on the better end of outcomes after a certain point (as long as Israel can stop running interference)...

Trump wasn't going to get to where the Obama deal was, so I knew he'd have to give concessions but claiming whatever he does as a win. Even if Iran were to annex part of Florida as part of the deal, he would say it's a win. Lying is easy as breathing for Trump, but the hardest thing is ever admitting wrongdoing.

I forgot how to add title/hover text on an inline image... let me test:

Ok I remember now. You have to add a space then double quotation marks after your URL, within the parentheses. This image has both alt text and title text. I'm not going to do both on the regular.

The only way i know is if you select "view source".

My version of the Jerboa app doesn't explicitly say how to add alt text, so I think it's partially an app support issue. I only know how to do it for inline comment images.

Boosting itself is closer to Mastodon terminology to begin with. The idea of reblogging a single comment or reply isn't as prevalent, as much as crossposting a thread.

I've added alt text as part of links in most of my comments with images or videos, I just don't know if anyone has seen them? Can you view this one?

It's for a 960-month old baby.

The Venezuelan man was really selfless and thoughtful here... sucks that he married and had kids with a moronic wife who can somehow still continue to excuse the pain she helped caused them all.

Which will come first, ReactOS being capable of running a hypothetical Half Life 3 or Half Life 3 being released?
