Nah, 13th century was too decentralised. It’s before the development of absolutism, nationionalism, and then totalitariansm. They are more going for late 1930s Italy/Germany style.

Just FYI Canadians, don’t get fooled when people say California is “leftist”. Check out recent referendum results, they voted against abolishing slavery (for prisoners) and in favour of the death penalty for example. They are only “leftist” in relation to the neofacist US’s overton window.

It depends. I don’t feel forced to go on there because it has none of my friends. Obviously I’ll go once every few weeks to check out cool photography but I’m really not an active user there.

Think of those of us who can’t get vaccines due to being immunocompromised, before you say “it’s just a flu” and spread it by not wearing a mask.

I was disappointed to learn there was no fediverse Tmbd/Imdb alternative. This looks like it has the potential to become that, among many things

Inflation can be seen through the lens of lessening scarcity but for money.

Lots of food places serve things in plastic containers that are basically made to be drunk with straws.

Any news source reporting this thank. I need a secondary source to share.

I think a lot of people start on Lemmy.world and lemmy.ml but then overtime switch to other instances they made alts on. I think it’s a cool way that things work and centralisation gets avoided.

Fuck that.

Microsoft has started rolling out a new scareware blocker in its Edge browser this week. The AI-powered feature runs on Windows PCs and can identify and block existing scams, and even detect new and emerging ones thanks to a local machine learning model.

“Scareware blocker adds a new, first line of defense to help protect the users exposed to a new scam if it attempts to open a full screen page. Scareware blocker uses a machine learning model that runs on the local computer,” explains the Microsoft Edge team in a blog post. “The model uses computer vision to compare full screen pages to thousands of sample scams that the scam-fighting community shared with us. The model runs locally, without saving or sending images to the cloud.”

blahaj is an instance that federates with lemmy.world. So you have access to the content on there.

Check out !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone for example.

BeeHaw does not federate with lemmy.word due to moderation issues. If you want to access beehaw, I recommend making an alt account of a server like https://discuss.online/ or https://sopuli.xyz/

!comicstrips@lemmy.world

is blocked on my instance (lemmy.blahaj.zone). Because the lead mod was banned from blahaj for posting a (non-political) comic strip made by a nazi sympathiser and not apologising.

Welcome lol

Trump has eradicated all disease and disability. Anyone who still “has” a disease or disability is faking.

Wooden straws ftw

In America you have the freedom to drive a car (and are basically structurally prohobited from getting around any other way)
