I wonder if where you have your account affects how you notice where the trolls are from? Like I don’t notice trolls coming from .world much because I just see a username, where a troll from .ml is username@lemmy.ml

10.9.0 is the latest. It just launched a day or two ago.
There’s a mochinut at the Mall of America near Minneapolis. I’ve had one of their donuts and it was pretty good. Pretty chewy. I’d never seen one before either, but it looks like it’s a relatively new chain.
It’s supposed to be hardware transcoding with on an Intel cpu (using vaapi) . No idea if it’s actually working.
I have this issue whenever I have to deal with transcoding. The stream will usually die after a few minutes of watching. I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary in the logs. I’ve just resigned myself to lugging around the device I have that can direct stream the files.
Yes, it is a thing in the US. People do it mostly to avoid filing taxes with the US when they don’t plan on ever living here. It’s rather expensive and time consuming. You have to pay a big fee ($2350 + any unpaid taxes) to do it and set up an appointment with the embassy/consulate.
When looking for media online, you pretty much just need a good adblocker and the sense not to run any random executables.
The media files themselves are very unlikely to have malware attached. They would need to exploit a bug in the specific video player you are using and then exploit another bug in your OS to get admin privileges before doing any real damage. It’s pretty much just theoretical. Keep your stuff up to date and don’t worry about it.
You’re missing their point. The west doesn’t have as large of a black community as the rest of the country because of things like Oregon being founded by white supremacists with a no black people allowed rule. The south might be more racist, but it has a large black community because of slavery.

The flag holds the world record of being the oldest continuously used national flag, that is since 1625.
While the flag might date back to 1219, it wasn’t in continuous use until 1625.
Probably the biggest shock to getting a Mac for work is how all the basic QoL apps want $20+ a year subscriptions. I’m not paying a subscription to reverse my scrollwheel for my mouse.
That paragraph is part of the new terms and conditions document they released.
It might be worth throwing in something at the bottom of the page explaining why you struck it through.
I’m just saying that the ‘IP addresses change’ argument is something courts have been dealing with for decades at this point. It’s a useless argument since ISPs keep track of who was assigned which IP at which time.
The user mentioned a blocklist, but I’m not able to find that list either. If we are going to accuse someone of maliciously pushing an agenda, I’d like a little more proof before jumping on the bandwagon.
Every piracy lawsuit deals with that question. They simply subpoena the ISP, asking who was given that IP address at the given time. The ISPs keep track of that and they will give you up in the face of a subpoena.
It’s why people always make such a big deal about using a VPN that doesn’t log. The idea is that if your VPN provider doesn’t keep track of your activities, it can only respond to a subpoena with a “Sorry, we don’t keep track” letter instead of selling you out.
Monthly active users aren’t counted the same. Lemmy only counts people who post or comment. Still a big difference, but 60,000 is not the entire userbase of Lemmy.
The subscriber count you see is based in the instance you are on. 7000+ subscribers are from lemmy.world. The bot accounts people complain about are on unsecured instances. We haven’t seen proof of any activity from them and they wouldn’t show up in the subscriber count here.
