Putin’s (very) useful idiot is now in the process of completing his work destroying the US federal government. Hope state governments can pick up the slack, because they’ll have to.

EDIT: And, surprise! Red states are more dependent on federal funding than blue states are.

🙁 Crap, didn’t see that part.

EDIT: Also, another thing I hate about most sites that sell ebooks is that they’re rarely explicit about what their file formats are.

Hey, how did you get hold of my passphrase?! 😵

“Does your tobacco taste different lately?”

Has a certain ring to it 👍 (Should we vote on this? Can we vote on this? Probably would want to get the ok first from the Admins since it is their baby).

Snaggletooth is kind of scary-looking 😱🙀, but ok!

From Wikipedia: “It was later suggested by some that the name originated from the phrase “lemmy a quid 'til Friday” because of his alleged habit of borrowing money from people to play slot machines.”

👍

🤘😎🤘

Frasier Crane, the sitcom character, is played by Kelsey Grammar who is a Trumpster.

Also

🤔 Is that official?

Ah, well that’s not so good then . . . 🙁

Unless I’m missing something, didn’t Yen just praise 🍄’s pick for antitrust AG? I forget her name, but her Wikipedia page didn’t make her sound all that great, so I’m not sure what exactly he was praising her for. If that’s all it is (and it might not be!) that hardly sounds like a betrayal.

EDIT: I was missing something! See this.

I was sad enough to know that all of your deleted everything are saved in lemmy and never truly deleted.

Another concern of mine; I was under the impression that while the posts/comments a user deletes on Lemmy are still there, or at least visible to the original author (and therefore on the server too, I guess, they’d have to be!), but not visible to other regular users, the content can be deleted by being overwritten, and that deleted posts disappear after 30 days . . . ? (very tired here, did I just contradict myself?) Anyway, that’s at least the impression I got from here:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977

and here:

https://lemmy.ml/post/22763196

I haven’t been here long enough to see if a deleted post of mine has disappeared after 30 days.

In another life I was on an instance where if I deleted something, it disappeared as it should, though I don’t know if it also got deleted from their server(s) . . .

@dessalines@lemmy.ml, could you please clarify this for us?

Some apps do.

But not on the web interface, I guess, whether desktop or mobile?

What Lemmy app do you use?

Why did you leave .world, if you don’t mind my asking, and just out of curiosity?

" . . . Element is being sunsetted . . ."

Is this just for the android app? What about mintchat on Linux Mint, which, I believe, is basically Element?

Nothing like shrews and coffee to get your mind off things 😉👍

I see that you’ve posted a few times in the last hour or so; hope this means you’re feeling a little better about things.

If I may, Arts & Letters Daily has a lot of interesting links that generally aren’t too overly tied to current events, and can provide a nice break from the world as usual. Aeon is also good.
