ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto Reddit@lemmy.world•The word "Luigi" is now flagged by automod for violence on RedditEnglish104·3 months agoMeh, I’m not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit’s fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an “app” and probably don’t even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren’t going anywhere. And frankly, that’s fine by me.
Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we’re never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let’s hope half of them actually stick around.

So much respect.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto The Onion@midwest.social•Supporters Praise Trump For Upholding Traditional American Value Of Supporting Murderous Dictators For Political GainEnglish16·3 months agoIt’s almost seven years old, but sadly, more relevant today than it’s ever been.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Proton has stopped using their Mastodon accountEnglish18·3 months agoSeconded, but they just go by Tuta now.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!English6·3 months agoYeah, I don’t think it effects browsers.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!English14·3 months agoYeah, I’m really glad I found out about Jellyfin. I switched to Jellyfin because Plex doesn’t let you disable Passout Protection (automatically stopping playback after something like 3hrs) without Plex Pass. I was just about to fork over $95 for a lifetime license when I looked into Jellyfin and discovered continuous playback was the default. I switched that very day and never looked back.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•Proud Boys ex-leader Enrique Tarrio arrested for assault near US CapitolEnglish6·3 months agoPresumably Trump? But that can’t be right… We all know Trump is just President Musk’s “coffee boy.”
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netOPto The Onion@midwest.social•Trump Scraps Aluminium Tariffs After MAGA Voters Voice Concerns Over Tin Foil Hat PricesEnglish45·3 months agoThe only reason you know this is satire is because it implies Trump listens to his supporters.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•France's Bardella cancels CPAC speech over Bannon 'Nazi' saluteEnglish322·3 months agoThere is no debate about what Bannon did at CPAC outside of Fox News panels. And downplaying it is a bad look. So knock it off.

ZeroCool@slrpnk.netOPto News@lemmy.world•Andrew Lester dies while awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in shooting of teen Ralph Yarl18·3 months agoA cause of death hasn’t been released but he was 86 so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just natural causes from the stress of his upcoming trial and sentencing. But damnit, he really should’ve died behind bars.
It’s a shame this robs the victim of seeing actual justice. But I would still consider one less violent racist in the world to be a win.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•'Jocelynn Deserves Justice!': 11-Year-Old Texan Kills Herself After Bullies' Deportation Threats.91·3 months agoI should hope so! The school deserves it. Multiple people would have had to drop the ball for this to happen. It’s just baffling because they were clearly making some sort of effort to help her. I can’t believe nobody bothered to even ask if her mother had been informed.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•'Jocelynn Deserves Justice!': 11-Year-Old Texan Kills Herself After Bullies' Deportation Threats.62·3 months agoSchool officials knew Carranza was being severely bullied and sent her for multiple weekly counseling sessions. However, the officials reportedly never notified the child’s mother, who says she only found out about the abuse after her daughter’s hospitalization.
How in the hell did nobody bother to tell her mother about the bullying? And how did she even get weekly counseling sessions without parental permission? I don’t have kids, so I guess I just don’t understand how schools are run these days, let alone in a shithole like Texas, but this story just sounds bizarre.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netto The Onion@midwest.social•Trump Cutbacks Force FAA To Unplug Giant Magnet That Keeps Planes In AirEnglish2·3 months agoI might be biased but I feel like this was a bit funnier when I posted it the first time, 10 hours before you.
I miss when tech entrepreneurs just wanted to get rich and retire young instead of becoming real life James Bond villains. Tom Anderson got a generation to learn HTML, got Rupert Murdoch to hand over $580mil for a social network that’d be dead within a few years, then had the decency to peace out and travel the world enjoying his photography hobby. No evil schemes. No fascism. Just pretty pictures.
ZeroCool@slrpnk.netOPto The Onion@midwest.social•Jeff Dunham’s Most Racist Puppet Tapped to Host White House Correspondents’ DinnerEnglish3·3 months agoThanks for confirming. I was pretty sure it was the same, but I had to switch to an iPhone for work several years ago so I wasn’t sure that was still the case.
Yeah, reading between the lines, it sounds like the poor guy was not in any condition to take care of himself and likely had no idea what was even happening to him for that week. What a horrible way to go.
