in an untraceable currency

The majority of cryptos are far from “untraceable”, just harder to prove depending on how well they laundered it.

No.

So your assumption is that “lots of people are rich from making art”, and not “many people trying to do art professionally have that opportunity due to their generational wealth”?

Another side is that you’re also bound to their agreement. If the law firm was too soft on them, tough luck.

In an ideal world, we’d have government agencies prosecuting illegal stuff (and putting huge fines back into the economy) instead of hoping that private law firms will do a class action, but oh well.

Is the odometer not recorded when having yearly inspections? Or do people cheat it before those as well?

Cloudflare doesn’t really have a straightforward way as an end-user to see detailed information about their blocks and such. But I’d recommend checking your IP on Project Honeypot, CF utilizes such lists for some of their WAF stuff.

In many other places with functional healthcare systems, the response might be “let’s get you started on haloperidol”…

Long story short: The test worked. We found out what that system was used for. Rather quickly.

But what was it used for?!?!? What a cliffhanger.

…so that he’ll need to be driven by you to be able to hang out with any of his friends? Sorry, I don’t really understand.

But where do you think the money in your pension fund lies? Even this isn’t making a dent on the elite.

Solar-powered.

Many think that Windhund/vinthund is referring to wind (sighthounds are fast), but it’s most likely folk etymology. It’s believed the name most likely originated in lower German from the Wends - as sighthounds were mainly known from that region at the time.

they don’t allow VPNs

Most likely to reduce the risk of ban-evading cheaters/griefers. Plus that most people usually avoid using a VPN when playing such games, due to the risk of increased latency.

For some reason, my steam ID wasn’t banned.

All of these plugins initiate only an IP ban, so the person is able to rejoin with their “real” IP address.

But you’ve actually tried asking for your Steam ID to be whitelisted? Shame that their admins don’t know how to/don’t want to do it.

Why not ask the server admin to whitelist your Steam ID? If you’re apparently a “regular” and don’t cause problems, I don’t see why they wouldn’t whitelist you.

It also draws attention and could make you a target. Like, I disdain the whole “what do you have to hide” fallacy, but that’s the impression that’d be broadcast to anyone who sees your place on streetview if you were to blur it out.

I think the lack of profile-wide “karma” is one benefit, so there’s not as much incentive to farm imaginary internet points and such with the same old zingers. Who knows, but hopefully not.

How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.

Finland ended homelessness in Finland. It doesn’t exist there.

There are over 3000 unhoused in Finland. Which is great progress, thanks to Housing First… but the fight isn’t over.

I never would have thought that Jim Cramer was a Lemmy user.

Isn’t that just the same pig, just wearing different makeup? I’m not a fan of msedgewebview2.exe allocating 500+ MB RAM just because Teams is open, but maybe that’s Teams fault…
