94. It’s 98 if you include the ones kidnapped before October 7. They include citizens of the US, UK, Thailand, Argentina, Nepal, and Serbia, as well as tender age children.

“Sorry, cough cough. I’m just feeling too gay to come into work today. It’s a bad case - I think it might be catching!”

Not the same guy and it’s from 2014.

Maybe you should examine whether it makes sense to silence Jewish voices on the anniversary of a Jewish massacre because of a decade-old blog post that wasn’t even written by the person quoted.

Boy, we sure didn’t have to wait long for someone to show up and blame Israel for a French person terrorizing French Jews in Jewish spaces on the anniversary of a French terrorist killing and injuring French Jews. Predictable and tiring, but still pretty disappointing.

Lemmy does have the capability and some instances use it. I’m not exactly sure how it works.

Please report any rule breaking behaviour. We cannot see everything.

Mod: The context was unfortunate but it appears to be sincere and it is absolutely appropriate to post hotline information in a thread discussing a death by suicide.

Here is your reminder that wolves are good for rivers.

I had no idea that you could make so much money by being a terrible doctor. I picked the wrong career.

Isn’t that what Facebook is already?

Good for them. There are some serious issues with current DEI policies, but too many places are folding to political pressure and throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Also a good time to remember that 7% of homes in the USA are vacant right now.

How many people could we house if we tried a little harder?

I’m in the USA, but I think they sell Ring and other video doorbells and security cameras in other countries, including Europe.

The “extra steps” are exactly what concerns me.

Look, I know that a lot of people find valuable community and information from platforms like Bluesky, Threads, etc. They are worlds better than the Nazi Bar that used to be Twitter. But the repeated lie that they are a part of the fediverse or that they benefit the fediverse or an open internet is cynical and misleading.

We live in a world where Mastodon exists, and is actually pretty good even though there is a learning curve to it. If we are volunteering efforts to promote a microblogging platform, I personally don’t think that it should be one backed by billionaires and built for profit. They have a budget for that. the Fediverse only has us. We are the marketing department.

I think it would be really interesting to see a Peertube instance (for example) create a paid tier with better quality uploads and analytics. Those cost money to maintain. The difference is that it would exist in a federated ecosystem where everyone would be able to benefit from that content.

Donation model would be completely viable if they actually allowed other people to run federated servers.

But it’s been a VC Trojan horse from the start.

Gee whiz wow who could have possibly seen this coming.

But people have been assuring me that it is a federated protocol, so I guess I’ll just join another instance. I’m sure there is a list somewhere… It’s coming… Any day now…

Also true. I use it in a business setting and it sort of doubles as a security camera. I would love to have the same functionality at home but it would have to be self hosted. Super creepy for a company to be watching my house
