How is this photo supposed to convince anyone of anything? Floods, tornadoes and other environmental disasters occured before humans even existed. The problem is their frequency and severity.

This is like trying to sell somebody a 120hz+ display using a photo.

PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:

• Making available sources of video (such as from a capture devices or application provided streams) and multiplexing this with clients.
• Accessing sources of video for consumption.
• Generating graphs for audio and video processing.

Nodes in the graph can be implemented as separate processes, communicating with sockets and exchanging multimedia content using fd passing.

There is no spoon.

The oil lobby wouldn’t be specifically against cars from another region, they are against electric vehicles in general, whether they are produced domestically or otherwise. The primary benefactors from the tariffs are the US electric car manufacturers, who would lose profit over not being able to compete with subsidized cars. They are probably the ones who lobbied for them.

Whether you agree or not with their justification (or think that it’s not the real reason), they clearly have no justifications (or reasons) to impose tariffs on unsubsidized (or at least not as heavily subsidized) EU cars.

I don’t think the US would either. Their justification for tariffs on Chinese cars was that they were uncompetitively cheap due to subsidies. Doubt EU is gonna subsidize cars, at least as heavily as China.

What do you mean? Why would Europe impose tariffs on their own cars?

Or worse… expelled.

Appreciate the Cutting Crew reference. But I can and I will.

Radical approach, because I might miss the post with interesting comments, and people often provide alternative links or straight up embed summaries.

Tekken, Lili vs. Panda.

At this point, I suppose lemmy.world account is the alt one. Haven’t touched it in months.

Thank you for all the shared knowledge!

I suppose you have a point. If Hexbear wasn’t defederated from other big instances, then they would be more prominent in smaller instances that federate with them too. And when there’s a lot of them, everywhere becomes a circlejerk. I mean, both Reddit and Lemmy are circlejerk-y by nature, but at least the circlejerks are usually less harmful than what HB does. I personally haven’t had the pleasure to deal with lemmygrad, I think, but lemmy.ml seems just slightly harder lefty Lemmy, I haven’t so far seen anything extreme, so Idk if they are toxic.
And again, I think the entire nature of this up/downvote-based media is somewhat toxic. People routinely interpret comments in the worst possible way and pile on it.

The c/196 was unfortunate. It is my only ever ban (so far), as I’m an extremely reasonable person. I have to say that my initial reaction was that, indeed, that instance doesn’t want to have a conversation, but have everyone automatically accept whatever they think is right. But if you’re saying that the community is an outlier, I believe you.

Your listing of alternative instances was helpful as I’m too lazy to look around, and would likely not found that info on my own. So far our instance is good enough, I think, but I’ll consider the alternatives. Thank you for that, too.

Btw, if you’re blocking all Hexbear stuff, how did you find my comment? It’s a response to a Hexbear user. So you see their comment as well?

Idk if you see @OpenStars’ comment, but he provided a link to the summary from blahaj.zone’s perspective. It does mention an incident with c/196, but it’s not the whole picture.

In short, users from Blahaj.Zone (as well as other Lemmy instances) were complaining about Hexbear users’ obnoxious behavior, “Hexbear users calling people “libs” as an insult, denying crimes of Russia and China, denying the crimes of Stalin.”
Users started asking to defederate from Hexbear and admin of Blahaj.Zone opened a thread to talk about it, which Hexbear users attacked and spammed the thread with images. Then, Hexbear user complained about c/196, that their comments were being removed, “comments that called out the use of the r-word and other call-outs”. At which point, Hexbear preemptively defederated from Blahaj, mostly citing the incident above.

I linked the whole thing, so you can see the details for yourself. But at the end of the day, I would say that the incident started with Hexbear users being Hexbear users.

But also, what are “chasers”?

They meant Musk.
