Personally I don’t think there’s any obligation. Folks have campaigned for rights to be enjoyed, not for those people who receive the rights to feel obligated to join the fight.
If you can afford it consider donating to a charity that supports campaigners for the rights you enjoy. This way you can increase their ability to campaign without needing to be directly involved.
Quite possibly related to the Steam gift card scam https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/09A1-E754-1D86-DDC9
Often all the shops round here are sold out of steam gift cards for this reason. It’s sad, I spoke to a store worker about it, they explain to people they are getting scammed but they want the cards anyway.
I’m far from good and lying about it constantly is killing me
I suggest you consider talking to your doctor or a mental health professional. If you feel a long way from ‘good’ some professional assistance might help improve your way.
There are ‘Stop the steal’ rallies going on in South Korea. anti_woke_mind_virus detected I guess.
Yeah. ByteDance, the owners, are choosing to block US users to kick up the maximum fuss possible. From my understanding they didn’t need to, they just risked withering away because there would be no new users.
I wonder if the target of these bot communities is not Lemmy users, but rather to be slurped up by AI scrapers in the hope of influencing future models.
Amazon charges per hour for renting a server. Some are very expensive. It’s a common mistake to forget to turn off a server after you’ve finished using it and end up paying more than you planned.
It’s a conversation starter when you see another leftie in the field.
Pretty sure the scary warnings in big bold text are more recent than this report.
The border
Also be prepared have your photograph taken and to be ‘ten printed’. Which means fingerprints for all 10 digits will be taken. Usually right 4 fingers in one time then the thumb then repeated for the other hand.
You must have documentation showing your onward travel from the USA. Strongly recommend printing this out rather than relying on your phone. Wifi is usually crap at customs if it’s available at all.
Make sure you have an ESTA (or a full visa) sorted out before travel or you will not be able to board the plane.
One other tip. Get an e-sim from someone like Nomad or Airalo. Then you can use that for data. Getting a sim in America never seems to be as simple as it should be.
Four-way stops are like roundabouts without the roundabout. But with stop signs.
The priority is different to a roundabout. A four way stop is ‘person who arrived at their stop line first goes first’. If two arrive at the same time the person on the right has priority.
They still can. Whether premium or ad supported views pays more depends on the channel and the value of the adverts that are streamed on it. For channels / topics that advertisers are keen to appear on the ad supported views pay more, for more niche interests the premium views pay more.
Whether this joke makes sense depends on how you pronounce Nisan. Some places pronounce it ‘nee-san’ similar to ‘knees and’. Other places province it ‘ni-san’ with the ni as is nickel, and the joke doesn’t really work.
My current bugbear with QR codes is that lots of folks have started putting their company logo in the middle of the code.
Sure it still works but it makes the error correction work harder so your users need to be nearer or have better cameras than they would otherwise. Annoying.

Was it left outside in the rain?
Thanks for the suggestion, turns out there are no cache headers on these images. They indeed never change, I’ll try that update. Thanks again
TikTok spider has been a real offender for me. For one site I host it burred through 3TB of data over 2 months requesting the same 500 images over and over. It was ignoring the robots.txt too, I ended up having to block their user agent.
Yeah it’s weird. I always opt out and it seems to make no difference whatsoever.
