That seems like pretty fucking cut and dry harassment. Guy didn't make any libellous claims.

I hope they can get a damn good lawyer with some help from EFF or something. Would love to see Funko get torn a new asshole over this, especially since he claims it wasn't even copyright infringing material but a fucking fan forum for an official funko branded game that got the site improperly flagged.

I find that intentionally trying to hide things just makes this occurence 10x as likely.

Just password protect it and leave it where it's convenient. I would hope that you aren't in a situation where getting robbed is likely.

That's some bullshit. Looks like it's time for a new registrar.

Huh? Is this referencing some extended universe content that has come out since the show ended?

There's a difference between tempering, and making sure the artillery is aimed at the most valuable targets.

We need this energy to stay pointed at the 1%, and to not get mixed up in the weeds. The last time we had energy like this was Occupy Wall Street, and the momentum was killed by attempting to expand the scope from the initial target of the 1%.

It's been a long time since I played this game, but I seem to remember Genis just kind of sucking, both story wise and in combat, especially by the time you get into the "second world" and have more characters to use.

Maybe it's because I was an only child, or maybe I wasn't aggresive with doors as a child, but my family never had issues with door hinges or stops breaking growing up.

Had both the solid "stick" doorstops screwed into the baseboard, and the spring ones attached to the baseboard.

The stops that sit on top of the hinge with one pad to press against the door and another to press against the wall, usually adjustable by screwing one of the sides to be longer or shorter? My family definitely broke a few of those ones.

There's also the plastic/rubber patches you can put on the wall where the door handle would slam into the wall. Never used those anywhere I've lived, but they seem to work well in offices and commercial buildings I've been in.

There's still a clear distinction between celebrating violence and calling for further violence.

You're making a leap between the two.

They are explicitly and literally not the same thing, even if celebrating can be, and often is, used as part of a call for more.

Every cat is an animal, but not every animal is a cat.

Personally, for me it's also "important" that this is "celebrating" violence that was successful and is "complete". While I understand wishing Trump dead, the people posting about that after the failed attempt on him were making calls to further violence, which I personally found distasteful.

Because like you said, I feel we should be aiming for a better solution than murders and bloodshed.

But this fucker's dead already. No amount of hand wringing will change that.

Maybe it's shitty or hypocritical of me. I'm not comfortable championing the sharpening of the guillotine until all else has been exhausted, but I'm sure as hell not going to fuss when heads of garbage are rolling across the ground.

The lemmy mods

Which instance? Because you can always move to a better one with mods who aren't being bellends.

You can also call it out on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

EDIT: It's lemmy.world mods, citing the ToS. There's already a post on Ye Power Trippin' Bastards about it: https://lemmy.zip/post/27427367

Shall we brainstorm other ways that running GPUs at 99% capacity at all times can be used to bilk suckers out of their money?

I expect there will be a big push to figure out how to use GPU as generic compute resources, regardless of the drawbacks or inefficiencies. No way these corps are just going to let hundreds of thousands of high end GPU modules sit idle after how much damn money they spent.
