The special grand jury in Fulton County investigating the 2020 presidential election in Georgia recommended charges against Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and former GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, according to the special counsel grand jury report released Friday.
They’ve been here since I started here in June, just call it out and downvote. Report never worked on Reddit so I’m not in the habit but you could try it?
Do they get some kind of real-time feed that tells them “hey this URL popped up in the web today, but it is a tracker, so block it”, or is this exercise is mostly helped by the crowd ?
I thought they could just tell by the code if they had a pop up or not and they just have to stay updated on how they keep changing the way they’re presented. I could be wrong though.
Please, use adequate ventilation (with a heat exchanger if you need to keep A/C in the room) if you’re going to be resin printing inside. I don’t want to see all of you guys get cancer from this hobby.
So I am a part of the LGBTQ community and work in a big city in middle europe. A lot of my coworkers are religios and have a foreign background.

Britain’s second-biggest city effectively declared itself bankrupt on Tuesday, shutting down all nonessential spending after being issued with equal pay claims totaling up to £760 million ($956 million)....
I don’t think that’s a bad thing that they get equal pay, they’re blaming it on that when it sounds like the poster I was speaking to said it was corruption, risky schemes and decades of underfunding by stealing it for other things that was the problem.
Do you think having post tags would be helpful on Lemmy? Why or why not?
Yes, although the search is pretty great, it’s the scrolling down the list for certain communities that I want to go to that is a pain in the butt. Having tags like reddit where it seems like they’re categories but in reality are tags, is what would help with the situation because I can then hopefully search tags as well within the communities. It just adds another layer.
How should tags be displayed and integrated into Lemmy?
I like the idea of tags for the community and then tags for everyone to add within the community.
This is a dream request, but I would love it if you could save tags at the top like in RES old but for general stuff and/or actual communities. So like in Mastodon, you can subscribe to an entire category like “USnews” and every community and post with “USnews” would show up under that tag. I would press that tag and instant feed of that topic. People would block communities if they used it incorrectly or spammy.
On the top row you could also edit and save your top communities you go to, now I have to scroll through my subscriptions. So my top row as an example could say (should be able to edit it how it looks, this is just to show content): USnews (group tag) Politics.lemmyworld (specific community) WorldNews (group tag) Art( group tag) Reddit.Lemmworld (specific community) AskLemmy.lemmyworld (specific community)
Yes, that’s correct The user defines them after they find them and puts them at the top (actually anywhere, lol) in my dream scenario. Tags with general links to communities would be a great way to find new ones too.
Hello, all! Longtime lurker on Reddit and now on Lemmy. I’ve tried looking into getting out of the US as things aren’t looking too great as I’m sure many of you know, but wanted some tips from those of us who have gotten out. Where did you decide to move to, and what were the things you looked at when deciding to move...
Is this you Lucy from Seattle? Dude, you need to go on a retreat or something and take care of yourself if it is. I’m seriously saying this as someone who wants you to do well.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin on Tuesday declined to comment on reports that the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, planned to travel to Russia this month to meet Vladimir Putin and discuss supplying Moscow with weapons for Ukraine.
You can’t feed your people but you can provide weapons to Russia?
I’m going to take your response in good faith and tell you that it’s making fun of right wing people who are against critical race theory by using what is probably their own religion of Christianity to do it. To have Moses say what they’re doing and how ridiculous it sounds.
Honestly, you may be right in that it serves right wing agendas but I have no idea since I’m not right wing. I do know they deserve to be made fun of regardless if they think it helps them or not. I feel that a lot of them are fascists, racists, trolls, etc. so it doesn’t really matter if we make fun of them because they’re pretty ingrained. I also don’t think it devalues CRT or makes anything normalized, we’re just making fun of hypocrites.
I didn’t believe in miracles or curses until I saw a documentary on a sailor on a large sailboat trying to get away from a funnel cloud coming for him. Everywhere he would go, that thing would follow him. That dude was cursed for sure, at least temporarily.
The good news here is that a lot of people don’t even know they’re landlords or are from another country. It’s not the rinky dink landlords we have to worry about, it’s the corporation landlords that are ruining everything.
It’s not how they treat you but I’m glad you have a good one, it’s how they’re ruining the real estate market for people to purchase new homes. They buy all of the single family and rental properties for airBNBs or tear them down to build luxury only condos. Also, they’re not really luxury condos. Hopefully your city has anti slumlord laws as well.
Here in Seattle, they were caught price fixing all of the rents as well. Basically, they all used one software that was supposed to tell you what others are charging so you could adjust your prices. Instead, they would all use it to raise the prices at the same time. It’s an evil industry.
“Blah blah blah,” again? So you’re going to ignore that there is a shit ton of empty luxury homes and the price fixing? This isn’t my first rodeo, I’ve heard all of your arguments before and yes, they can be added into the mix but those aren’t the main focus.
Make it so airbnb’s can only be operated by an owner that lives on site and one other location and for 2 units total for that owner.
Corporations can only own a 20 unit (10-30, that number has to be researched) or more apartment building and then have to operate as a hotel if they’re running airbnbs. If condos or apartments, they have to provide all levels of income.
Condo or rental high rises being built can’t buy their way out of providing all income units.
No more price fixing or extreme legal consequences.
I have found that the people calling for just changing the zoning laws usually have a bulldozer right behind their shoulder waiting to be sent.
the vast majority of new housing has been market rate
Hmmm, market rate is determined by price fixing so the people living there have to make more so they can live there and then the rent is price fixed up, and so on, and so on, and so on…
Raising taxes doesn’t help anyone in the short run since by the time it gets to being put towards something, it would probably be tax breaks for the tech companies. You’re right, I skimmed your comment because I knew what your goal was and you’d say anything to try and reach that goal; Build so there is money for investors, open the zoning laws all across the board so you can bulldoze and build more luxury apartments that families don’t want and the middle class and lower can’t afford. Trickle down housing takes 30 years to see results, all of your points are meaningless to me because you’re not operating in good faith.

But officials said that it’s unclear what Kislyak would have had to gain by falsely characterizing his contacts with Kushner to Moscow, particularly at a time when the Kremlin still saw the prospect of dramatically improved relations with Trump.

I can’t find the source anymore. You’re right, bought out was wrong, the guy who ran it or runs it. I would have to go down rabbit holes to find it. I know I trust Reuters over them and for awhile there was out right ignoring them. Non-profit doesn’t really mean anything BTW. It’s a start but not always in a good direction. I was wrong to say bought out.
In many ways, Mastodon feels like rewinding the clock on social media back to the early days of Twitter and Facebook. On the consume side, that means that your home feed has no algorithm (this can be disorienting at first)....
They do have a “for you” on the Mastodon app where they recommend people you might like BUT it’s hard to find and they don’t have the option to follow general hashtags like, “sportsnews” or something like that. Tusky is FOSS and does have the general hashtag follow but no “for you” section. Early stages and all.
