Unlimited political spending, particularly by corporations - see Citizen’s United.

ChrisMcMillan ,

Campaign financing in general. If you get enough signatures you’ll get a fixed amount of money from tax payers for your campaign. If you accept money from anyone else you’re barred from public office for life. End of corruption right there.

Mothra , to asklemmy in Do you think the world would have been a better place if there were no religions?

I don’t believe so. I believe religions are human creations and as such, they can’t be awful if people don’t have that awful side to begin with. If religions disappeared overnight or were magically erased from existence we would still struggle with the same issues, only with a different flavour. Perhaps there would be no lies on certain topics but I’m not too sure that would make a massive difference overall.

Not surprised this happened in Ohio

aniki , to nottheonion in Ohio Supreme Court rules boneless chicken wings can have bones

And you chucklefucks say we vegans eat weird shit…

My seitan nuggets taste the same and I didn’t have to kill anyone, or anything, and I don’t have to worry about some poor child in a factory on the other side of the country removing bones so I don’t have to deal with the horrors of factory farming.

Ookami38 ,

Surprising, a vegan coming somewhere, unprompted, to decry their moral superiority. The only things as reliable are “get a real measurement system” and “oh, that’s a problem? I use Linux.”

commie ,

I didn’t have to kill anyone, or anything,

most people don’t kill anything for nonvegan nuggets

I do. This is why I am banned from McDonalds worldwide.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Other than not eating the meat of an animal, i don’t think vegan can claim superiority about all the other stuff. Someone have to plant and harvest and process and make your vegan nugget, you know…

DantesFreezer ,

I think it’s more cause of all the news coverage about underage kids working in meat packing plants lately.

Idk if there is a similar problem in other parts of agriculture, wouldn’t surprise me.

intensely_human ,

And it’s no more or less likely to be a “child in the other side of the country”

(?)

jimbolauski ,

A vegitable field is absent of any insects, birds, or rodents, they were all slaughtered, starved, or poisoned to bring you your vegi nuggets.

DantesFreezer ,

Fair point, agribusiness is harmful in many ways.

That doesn’t mean that someone can’t say “X is More harmful than Y”

I imagine they could point to the many similar environmental harms and modifications down for meat farming

skullgiver , to nostupidquestions in Does lemmy sites or instances give you a reason why you are banned so you are not doing the same thing ?lsewhere? Or how do I appeal a ban
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

Check the modlog on the instance you were banned from. If it’s a temporary ban, it’ll also show you how long the ban is in effect.

Unfortunately, Lemmy lacks a good UI for showing you this information. Then again, it’s unfinished software, so who knows, maybe it’ll be better in the next release!

Flax_vert , to selfhosted in Why do so many people use NGINX?

ansiz , to linux_gaming in Latest Verge article about their review of Asus ROG Ally X (and this is why gamers are preferring Steam Deck)

I can sympathize but I hate using the controller setup, I’m definitely a mouse and keyboard person. For better or worse I’m stuck with Windows unless Steam comes out with a desktop or something.

GlenTheFrog ,
@GlenTheFrog@lemmy.ml avatar

What do you mean? You can always use a distro like Steam OS (or any other Linux distro) on any x86 PC and still use a mouse and keyboard. Or use a Steam Deck and plug in a mouse and keyboard.

ansiz ,

A steam deck with a mouse and keyboard is kind of horrible, I have tried that. And maybe things have changed, how well does Steam OS do as a primary OS? I might look into it again.

vinayv ,

Maybe try something like Bazzite

jonne ,

You can use any Linux distro and install steam on it? I really don’t understand the issue you’re having. It works perfectly on pretty much any modern mainstream distro.

prettybunnys ,

Their questions are actually pretty straight forward, I really don’t understand the comprehension issue you’re having or why you feel the need to add the incredulous response.

CafecitoHippo ,

Because they’ve set up a false quandry. They’re setting it up as a three option problem with no other options.

a. Use a Windows desktop to game because they prefer mouse and keyboard unless Steam comes out with a desktop. b. Use a Steam Deck with mouse and keyboard but it has alleged poor support for that and isn’t viable (I’m saying alleged because I’ve never used a Steam Deck though my son has one). c. Use SteamOS and hope it has better keyboard and mouse support than the OS on the Steam Deck.

Those aren’t your only options. You could also.

d. Use pretty much any other Linux based distribution on a desktop and install the Steam app on it. Why would you need a Steam based OS? Clearly they don’t have a problem running Steam as an app in Windows, why not do the same on Linux?

prettybunnys ,

Alternately and more likely they tried something once and didn’t fully understand it. Now they’re asking questions out of ignorance rather than winning an internet argument in some way.

jonne ,

Ok, from what I gather, they want to play games with keyboard and mouse, and also don’t want to use windows any more. Steam OS is designed to be controller friendly and while desktop is nice and usable, Steam OS is probably not the best desktop distro out there. The obvious solution is to install any distro (Ubuntu, Mate, PopOS, even some gaming optimised ones), but yet they seem hung up on installing steam OS for whatever reason.

frezik ,

It works for some games more than others. I never liked playing shooters with console controllers. Conversely, games like Vampire Survivors are prefect for that type of controller.

botterotter ,

Steam’s Proton (the tool that makes windows games work on linux) works on pretty much all mainstream distros, you can just install a desktop linux distro and intrall steam on it

Zagorath , to fediverse in Lots of dead Lemmy/Kbin domains have CNAME records pointing to the same domain parking company
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Out of interest, is pathfinder.social among those snatched up by these?

pcouy OP ,

It does not seem to be the case. Was it the full domain for this instance ?

Ghoelian ,

According to this service, that domain never had any subdomains, so looks like there’s just nothing there at the moment.

Not sure how reliable it is, but it did correctly identify all of my own subdomains for a website that no one ever goes to.

pcouy OP ,

These services usually use either or both of passive DNS replication (running public recursive DNS resolvers and logging lookup that returns a record) and certificate transparency logs (where certificate authorities publish the domain names for which they issue certificates). A lot of my subdomains are missing from these services

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Yes, that’s the full domain. It used to host communities such as !pf2general. Unfortunately it’s been dead for 9–10 months now.

pcouy OP ,

The fact that it has not been bought as soon as the domain expired makes me believe this instance went down before the trend started

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

I’m actually not really clear on what the status of that instance is. Like, for me, when I browse to pathfinder.social, I actually see what looks like an empty Lemmy instance running 0.18.2. Some communities show the same for me, while others show a generic error message. So I don’t know whether it’s running in some failed state due to caching, or deregistered, or what.

pcouy OP ,

That’s really really weird, I cannot resolve the domain to an IP, even after trying a bunch of different DNS servers. If you’re on linux, can you run nslookup pathfinder.social and paste the output here ?

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

If you’re on linux

I’m not, but I do have WSL installed. It returned “Can’t find pathfinder.social: No answer”

Out of interest, I tried the same command in Microsoft PowerShell, I get:


<span style="color:#323232;">Server:  dns9.quad9.net
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Address:  9.9.9.9
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Name:    pathfinder.social
</span>

That’s the full output. No actual list of returned addresses.

I’m guessing my system just has pathfinder.social cached.

pcouy OP ,

Yeah, this probably has to do with the cache. You can try opening dev tools (F12 in most browsers), go to the network tab, and browse to pathfinder.social. You should see all requests going out, including “fake requests” to content that you already have locally cached

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Oh neat, I’d never thought of that before. Woulda been handy back last time I was working on a PWA!

200 OK (from service worker)

So yeah, getting it from the cache.

pcouy OP ,

There is even a “Ignore cache” box in the devtools network tab
