Organisers of the Army of Drones campaign say they have built or purchased an extra 3,300 drones. Some 400 people have even sent their own hobby drones in the mail.

It’s a bit of a paradox, because public unrest is a feature of democracy, not a bug. What autocrats fail to recognize is that the appearance of a peaceful society without conflict is not the same thing as a peaceful society without conflict. Public protest and unrest is a symptom, your society telling you something is wrong, not the thing that’s wrong.
There’s a “block user” feature in Lemmy. It’s useful in situations like these. Some people never learn the limits of vulgarity.
Pretty sure they’re either a troll or wildly ignorant. Either way, it’s probably safe to just ignore them.
Unless you’re willing to claim we’re in a civil war, then I’m not willing to call Republicans “the enemy” … That’s that the real enemies of America want of us: to divide and conquer from within.
I think you’re just projecting your own beliefs onto him.
That’s fair; my statement was pretty strong. But I think we can agree that by comparison Biden cares more about it than his opponent, a known insurrectionist.
Yes, because he actually cares about what the Constitution stands for, not just some adversarial power game. Claim the paradox of tolerance all you want, but fighting fire with fire here is just participating in the same race to the bottom that’s destroying our democracy here in the USA.
I deeply disagree with this take. If we actually care about the Constitution and upholding what it stands for, then we have to work to undo the damage caused by this race to the bottom, not participate in it.

Brilliant. I’m saving this imagery for later.
Yes, they are, which is why the gifting of cherry trees is such a strong symbol of friendship! Experiencing Sakura is uniquely Japanese.
The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality; for this reason, sakura are richly symbolic…
Both kinds of trees have blossoms. Granted, people do call ornamental cherry trees “cherry blossom trees” … but, technically speaking, a “blossom” is literally the flower of any stonefruit tree.
cherry trees and cherry blossoms are two different trees
Do you mean “ornamental” cherry trees and “fruiting” cherry trees? A “cherry blossom” (or “sakura”) refers to the flower of a cherry tree, usually of the “ornamental” variety. The article seemed fine to me.
Can’t be going and adopting kids all willy nilly, or else the adoption factories might ramp up production!

Hard disagree. This is a problem every web service has had to deal with since the beginning of the web: what happens when a host (either the machine or the person) stops working? How do you keep the service up?
Centralized services solve that problem with internally funded, transparent redundancy. Federation solves the problem with externally funded, highly-visible redundancy. They’re still the same solution, just a different way of going about it.
You could argue that user identity is lost due to the discontinuity between instances, but that’s probably something the Lemmy devs could fix without too much hassle.
Care to elaborate?
Ahh, okay, so nothing new under the sun: Hipsters hate normies and September never ended.
Although I’m under the impression that Mint and Pop have taken a bite out of the “beginner desktop” market, Ubuntu is most of what I observe in the office when everybody else is booting Windows.
I can understand selecting for novelty; I’m usually in that camp. But novelty shouldn’t come at the expense of an argument to IT departments that they should support at least one Linux distro.
For those of us still naive … Why does Lemmy say “Ubuntu bad” now?
You mean someone will exchange $10k for something as worthless as dusty old grape juice? Seems rather charitable of them…
It probably boils down to the definition of “user” vs. owner/admin/host … But I wouldn’t be surprised if those definitions were unclear or missing entirely.
