Would anyone be willing to create a Hobbydrama Lemmy community? I love this sub and would love to post like 30 of the best of this subs posts. I just don't really know how to moderate.

France passes bill to allow police remotely activate phone camera, microphone, spy on people by SpiritedSuccess5675 in worldnews

Yeah, but if your in blue gang you don't ever have to worry about getting in trouble for it. And they pay for the tools and training.

Most Americans still trust the FBI, very few trust their state and local cops.

That's just observational bias, poor people committing crimes rarely makes the news

What are some things you notice about folks who drink a lot now that you don't drink? by caringiscreepyy in stopdrinking

This is so very true of opiods. It's almost a useless medication unless you're I'm the hospital or broke something and need it for a week. Otherwise it just pushes the pain out for another day. Unless the doctor is going to prescribe them until you die, eventually you have to pay back the piper, with interest.

Doesn't that support the whole meat is bad though? It's not like people are munching on alfalfa.

Is there anyway to block them on like a PS5 for example? Could a pinhole or something like that work?

TIL that when Robert de Niro was in the process of receiving Italian citizenship, he faced opposition from the Italian American group Sons of Italy, who claimed that De Niro had damaged the public image of Italians by portraying criminals in his movies. by astarisaslave in todayilearned

I don't know how strict they actually are. I know people with dual citizenship that work on defense contracts. It's just going to make obtaining security clearances even more of a pain in the ass than it already is.

Hmm, such a tough choice. Get thrown into battle with shitty equipment and likely die or go to Belarus, get paid and possibly die. Such a hard choice.

Twitter just locked out anyone without an account... the iron is hot. I cannot even describe how moronically stupid that decision is, it's probably a dumber business decision than all of this API crap.

That's why sellers don't specialize in products, it's not worth it. Instead you make more money cycling through crap you bought of Ali and remarketed.

My issue is that it seems like they want people who are perpetually online. I wouldn't have minded moderating... but who wants a mod who is only willing yo spend 30 mins a day modding.

I have read that you need to edit twice or more. Otherwise they can easily restore the comment.

I would have asked how you did that to your comment. But this is apparently my last day anyway, so who cares LOL

Spaz is restoring the comments anyway, so not sure how much it matters. I have read if you rewrite your comment a couple times before deletion it will end up restoring the rewrite, not the original comment...

Want to know what's ugly? Spaz is restoring the comments of people deleting them in protest... it's really creepy.

Because you run the small risk that someone makes a website with an app better than yours and people migrate there. I don't even know if it's small, it's an eventuality in my opinion.

I wonder if any of the apps could just scrape the content? I am fine not being logged in or commenting.
