Changing it is very difficult. It takes 2/3rds of our legislative branch agreeing. We don't see that much.
I think most eth-based transactions happen on different layers and then get settled on the main layer periodically. Same with Bitcoin, come to think of it. TPS doesn't seem like a particularly useful number these days.
At least eight major companies with headquarters in Minnesota have given more than $400,000 to members of Congress who disputed Electoral College results in the last presidential election.
Many Minnesota based corporations have resumed donating to election deniers, thinking we wouldn't notice.
Another web developer here, that is how the California and European rules are interpreted. If we're acting in good faith we do not store anything.
Maybe you can find a way to argue user settings and session cookies don't require consent, but I am not a lawyer and I err on the side that doesn't put me out of business.
He wants to change? Maybe he should go to a conversion camp.
I attended by sitting in my chair and looking at Whatnot all day, and it only cost me $550. I got lucky and missed Todd McFarlane doing his stream with ComicTom.
With the faces of Hollywood on strike I haven't heard much MCU/DCEU news. Did you catch anything?
As far as comics go, Mrs. Marvel's going to be back to life, just in time for the movies. And she's a mutant now. We are all very surprised. The house of ideas just can't stop zigging when we expect a zag. /s But really, Mrs. Marvel should have been a mutant this entire time. It better fits her themes; from the little I've read of her books. It sounds like she'll still be an Inhuman. The actor that portrays her in Mrs. Marvel and The Marvels, Iman Vellani is co-writing the book. She seems great, I love her enthusiasm for comics. I hope she can write.
Todd McFarlane has his name on another set of new books, mostly related to Spawn. I don't keep up with him all that much, but they were selling fast.
Greg Capullo will be working on Wolverine and a new Deadpool title.
If you're interested, here's an affiliate link to sign up for Whatnot. You get $10 off your first purchase, and I get $10 if you buy something. It's a cool live-auction app; a great place to score deals on comics and video games.
I wish plex would bring back plugin support. If my podcasts and audiobooks could live there easily I'd open their app a lot more. Maybe watch some of those old TV and movies they're so excited about.
Well, the UK wants to negotiate more. The legal action has been paused.
Every paragraph of that article got less and less certain about the results. Someday I'd love to be able to trust the headline.
I wrote a review about a counterfeit item I received. They never approved that one. I haven't bought cologne from them since.
I don't remember what I paid for Reddit Is fun Gold, but it was worth it. If a Lemmy client comes around, I'll buy that one too. Thanks for bringing Reddit to phones while they let you, TalkLittle. o7
W0rldtr33 is a suspense/horror book set in a modern-day, cyberpunk-emphasised world. Some kids find a secret forum on the equivalent of the darknet, and a serial killer begins hunting them.
It also looks like they have an ARG going at [https://www.w0rldtr33.net/](their website).
The series started recently, there are three issues out. The first issue had a recall on a couple of covers because they printed too dark. The main cover depicts a woman sitting on a bed, a corpse laying behind the bed. If the floor/right wall is mostly black, that's a recalled cover. Maybe worth checking out if you're a collector.
This is a mature-rated book. There's a good bit of violence/gore, and nudity. It's published by Image.
Yesterday Hickman's new series dropped, "Ultimate Invasion." I haven't been to my comic shop yet, so I haven't read it. I only know the gist of it from the trailer I posted here the other day.
As I scrolled through youtube the Comics Explained channel popped up with the title

"Marvel Just Killed Spiderman: Ultimate Invasion" (respect the fucking hyphen, Rob).
Now I don't know if it's clickbait. I would totally believe it happened. But the comic is barely 24 hours old.
I get his content is telling people about other content. But jesus dude, wait a week. Steer clear of YouTube until you're caught up on event books, I guess.
Decorum is important, or whatever she said a couple weeks back.
Did they get rid of them, or did they hide it from the UI? Bots are the ultimate threat here, and they won't use the UI.
I didn't consider federation. I'm not sure what prevents me from creating an instance with three users that vote on other servers. I can't run this test tonight. Hopefully someone gave that some thought.
TLDR: 3 people working together can gatekeep content on the "active" and "hot" feeds on smaller servers/communities.
After some playing around, I noticed posts disappear after reaching a threshold. A quick search later and I'm in the Lemmy docs reading about how this all works.
In plain English, any three people working together (or one person with three accounts) can stop posts from appearing on the default feed. Once a post reaches -2 it will only appear to people who browse "new." Edit: Of course, it reappears after it climbs above -2, but it's a race against the clock.
As a smaller server, we're vulnerable to this. But we also have some extra mitigations - namely, @seahorse@midwest.social has to approve everyone who joins, and that might weed out bad actors.
So what can you do? Upvote content liberally, downvote sparingly.
It looks like posts in the negative are taken off the /active view, but still appear in /new.
I'm confused by the user count. I follow a mastodon user count bot, and it's numbers are pretty close to the ActivityPub user bot. Can anyone speak to how these bots work? Can they differentiate between mastodon, kbin, and lemmy?
He Evades taxes and uses guns recklessly... Republicans don't like this guy?
Stan Lee was quite the character. He was charming. He was creative. He had a major influence on comics and pop culture. But I don't think he wasn't always 100% truthful, especially about how much credit he should take.

Comicstorian usually has well considered criticisms of the comic world. I haven't watched this yet, beware spoilers.
I'm on board for a new Hickman story.
What are you picking up?
I use this guy to supplement my solar panels in the winter. It does 30a, I haven't had an issue running the microwave and ac off it simultaneously. I just finished my second year with it, so far it's just needed an oil change.
I'm a freelance web developer. I'd be happy to pitch in with DevOps/SysAdmin stuff as needed.
I'm a full time RVer, I'm also interested in a vanlife/rvlife community.
