So you can legally beat us up there as long as you don’t “injure” us. A word which is subject to interpretation (at least in English, I don’t know how similar it is in Spanish) but I’m going to guess they mean “doesn’t require professional medical care”. And they label this as human rights being just “partially revoked”.

I’ll second the recommendation for the Braun Silk Epil 9, though noting I never used one pre-HRT. If battery runtime is a concern, there are also several corded models which work well.

General purpose private tracker. Not the largest archive by a long shot, but it’s decent and people there have filled my requests quite quickly when I’m searching for hard-to-find media, so I haven’t needed to go elsewhere for TV and movies. 🙂

Congrats!! 🥳

No, really, I used to end with negative scores all. the. time. 😅

The name is way too similar to the Firefox trademark and could create the impression that Firefish is associated with Mozilla. I suspect some lawyers are currently in a huddle trying to figure out how to send a Cease and Desist letter that won’t completely piss off the community.

(Trademark law, at least in the US where Mozilla is headquartered, requires organizations to actively defend their trademarks. So just ignoring Firefish would be risky, even if they don’t actually mind the similarity.)

What, you don’t think a self-professed “former therapist” is an expert on infectious disease and vaccine development??? 😂

I do have to agree that the medical and scientific community’s consensus shouldn’t be “beyond reproach”, but only because the scientific method requires being open to new evidence that shows past theories to be flawed. (Key word evidence.)

Alas, a common tactic for spreading misinformation can be summed up as “a mosquito doesn’t care if the window is only open by an inch or all the way, it’ll fly inside regardless.”

In my view, systems without an HDMI output or which default to a 4:3 aspect ratio are retro. But I don’t expect everyone else to share this opinion, and that’s totally fine. 🙂

It’s creepy af, but let’s all be careful not to victim-blame please.

How long until Google gives up and shuts it down? Place yer bets!!!

I’m issuing an opinion that they’re getting off cheap. But their careers have suffered irreparable harm, so it’s alright. 🙂

I feel certain they’ll settle this suit for a tiny fraction of the extra money they “earned” using this anti-consumer strategy.

I mean this for real: I had an easier time cancelling a gym membership than I did a Prime membership. 🤦‍♀️

It’s unfortunate that a handful of replies here are demonstrating exactly why the Beehaw community leaders felt they had to make this choice. 😞

If Lemmy instances are like web forums, federation basically gives us a “Sign in with your [home instance] account” option. (That’s not technically accurate at all, I’m only talking about the user experience.) It reduces user friction and helps people participate more widely. They just stopped allowing that from certain instances because they think adding a bit of friction back in will be healthier for the Beehaw communities. If you’re on one of the defederated instances, you aren’t banned. Yeah, it’s inconvenient for you, but you just need a different sign-in (at least for the time being).

I really wish I’d understood this much earlier in life, but hey, it’s never too late. 🙂

Coming on October 24th… and this looks so good, I might finally upgrade my GPU. 😄

RIP SimCity, thank you for all you gave to gaming, but your time is even more over now than it already was.
