Periodically preemptively block all the posters on lemmy who link mediabiasfactcheck to people so I don’t lose anymore brain cells than I already have posting, but one slipped through the cracks today.

I can’t grapple with the urge of people to not engage with the article in front of them and instead go to the site of some asshole who identifies as a “non affiliated voter who values evidence-based reporting” who did half of a comms degree before switching to a physiology degree and working in “Occupational Rehabilitation” as their career and nothing even close to the media.

Glad that a physical therapist from North Carolina has a stranglehold on what every redditor/lemmy liberal thinks of a website instead of actually clicking on it and looking at it.

LemmyFactCheck: @quindraco is a very low quality commenter, we at lemmyfactcheck rate them as really fucking annoying for linking mediapoopeefartcheck, avoid at all costs

2nd and counting

You’re probably right, I definitely could have misunderstood, but making 5 figures a month on patreon adds up, still quite a lot of money for what it was.

It’s wild that they had 2 million+ dollars, like maybe these people were treating it like a job, which is the only way I can rationalize them needing even close to that amount of money, but goes to show even though they were open source devs, they were trusting patreon and discord not to just hand over their personal information, and I’m guessing that’s exactly what ended up happening.

The Ryujinx devs also have a patreon that’s making a fair amount of money per month, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they get got as well. I’m not a big crypto person, but isn’t this the exact use case for it? Why in the world would you use Patreon when you’re doing something tangential to piracy that will put you in a gigantic company’s crosshairs.

I do wonder if this is specifically what got them, would probably take a lemmy lawyer to unpack it, but I would have to imagine if they didn’t have a patreon and basically a company, it would have been much harder for Nintendo to do anything about them. And I would also imagine in retrospect whatever money they got was not worth it when it ends like this.

I always assume when people operate services like this, that they host it in a country like Russia that’s less likely to care about takedowns by western corpos and done anonymously as possible. Even though it’s just an emulator, you would think they wouldn’t be so brazen as to have a patreon which I’m sure requires someone’s identity/billing info. They probably still could have been tracked down if they took crypto donations or something like that, but you would think that would be the first choice over putting a giant target on their backs. Patreon is obviously just gonna hand over whatever info they are asked to give when served a warrent, and so is Discord for that matter if they had any personal info on there too.

47* states*, most of Arizona has no DST although some of the reservations observe it

Even if it wasn’t

BDS: https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp

they have not blocked it and they probably won’t block it bc it involves signing in with your twitter and since it’s just an android app it’s not gonna get as big as nitter, I don’t think it’s really helpful to tell people to “just accept it” as an individual you’re not gonna be able to successfully lobby everything you follow to change to bluesky (which I think you can get rss feeds from) or masto (which you can get rss feeds from), like for example your city’s local government/services only posts on facebook and twitter, no rss, this is still useful for things like that

I think even worse is how the cops assumed they were trying to damage the embassy/ sent the bomb squad to their apartment as if someone doing this is likely to have anything more dangerous than petrol and a lighter.Treating them like a suicide-bomber in both cases.

I would probably not post articles directly from the nypost, if no other source is reporting on it, odds are it’s fake/stretching the truth, can’t really trust a tabloid with something that’s serious.

The only way this would make sense is in the form of a happy hour or a lunch special which I guess are all just reverse surge pricing, but can’t just simply make things cost less in off peak hours in god’s Amerikkka.

Yeah, scrolling through the RSS feed to find horrible things I didn’t know even happened.

IT WAS ALL THOSE DAMN AVOCADOS, WHY DIDN’T WE JUST SIMPLY STOP EATING THOSE AVOCADOS

IDK nothing indicated they would be booted, they pretty prominently announced they wouldn’t be restricting Israel from competing, to much controversy at that

The obvious difference being my/others mastodon posts aren’t showing up on wordpress and being monetized. One way federation to masto doesn’t matter bc it isn’t data farming / putting ads on masto content.

I don’t disbelieve it, but I’m gonna wait to read about it not in the daily mail and I don’t think other serious sources have reported on it yet, unless google has just ceased working as a search engine which is very possible.

It only has to do with being an ebu/sister org member which many arab states are eligible to compete, but refuse to do so since Israel is in it/ in some cases having laws preventing the broadcasting of anything Israel was involved in making.

To be fair to the euros they tried to both sides it and let arab/north african countries in, but those countries refused for obvious reasons.

I’m personally against sentencing death regardless of what they did, especially in cases like Saudi Arabia where they have more than enough money to handle imprisoning people for life. Call me a crypto-catholic, but I don’t think killing people is good if it can be avoided, which in this case it definitely could have been.
