Conservative Man Proudly Frightened Of Everything in c/theonion@midwest.social

I have some conservative in-laws that live in Northern Minnesota. When we drove up to visit, they were like "You stopped in MINNEAPOLIS on your way up here?!? How did you survive all the crime??"

Like seriously, Fox News has convinced these people that the world outside their immediate bubbles is an absolute hellhole overrun with immigrants, homeless people, and gang members.

The AI company Perplexity is complaining their bots can't bypass Cloudflare's firewall in c/technology@lemmy.world

It's worth giving the article a read. It seems that they're not using the data for training, but for real-time results.

During their visit to the United States, President Trump showed President Zelensky and President Macron his collection of MAGA hats in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

It's equal parts disgusting and terrifying that Trump has those hats. He's already proving through his actions that he doesn't give a shit about our democracy - but having a hat that basically says "fuck you, I'm a dictator" is just so brazen.

Hi,

I normally post from an account on the sh.itjust.works instance and recently noticed that posts and comments to and from lemmy.world are getting delayed by a few hours.

I made this post (https://sh.itjust.works/post/17275496) to discuss on that instance, but you might not be able to see the comments over there, including responses from the admins, if you're using a .world account.

Full disclosure, I am not on the admin team over there, but based on their responses it sounds like something might be going on with the lemmy.world side.

Just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Thanks

Rudy Giuliani hit with $148M verdict for defaming two Georgia election workers in c/politics@lemmy.world

Glad to see it. I'm curious as to what that means practically. Does the court have the ability to force him to pay or can he just drag his feet indefinitely?
