Are people here worshipping Dolly Parton? Seems like people are pointing out the good things that she has done, because that acknowledgement encourages others to do good too.

It’s fine to point out the bad things she’s done too, but I feel like you’re concerned about an issue that doesn’t really exist here

The thing is

• There are delusional leaders in democratic systems that build a cult of personality and market themselves as having been picked by God to lead, some even going to authoritarian lengths to cement their rule. The united states is currently one of those countries, and I think that is a far more dangerous thing to block from my country than Norway’s monarchy
• many monarchies are hereditary celebrities rather than hereditary leaders, where the position is kept around for the tourism value and they do not have (or claim to have) any right to rule over people

So when you make a comment saying that “they deserved it” about someone whose crime is being born into the spotlight, despite any good they may have done with that position, people are going to think you’re an uninformed jerk.

Sometimes full sedation is too risky, or at least not worth it for factors other than cost

I remember seeing articles that there are/were security vulnerabilities that went unpatched.

Since the american government is already abusing them, there’s less of a conversation about how foreign governments might abuse them

This one needs an NSFW tag imo

To be fair, I haven’t used Chromecast in a long time. Maybe even 10 years ago now.

I remember having connectivity issues, where I’d go to pause the content and realize it disconnected again. So maybe the battery drain was because of poor connections, or poorly designed apps

Its nice to be able to use it with a remote instead of fumbling around with your phone.

Also performance, decoding support, not burning your phone’s battery, etc

The Flintstones ones are very memorable, I wonder if the marketing was helped by the fact that the vitamins look like rocks 😄

That way when they are exposed to the air and begin to discolor (which is harmless from what I understand), it doesn’t become unpalatable to children

Out of curiosity, why doesn’t the tag go with the cat? It looks like it could fit on a collar.

Wouldn’t it be easier for the person or clinic to keep paper records instead?

I didn’t realize that Ruby Tuesdays was a chain restaurant, so that’s probably the reason it’s a shitpost

It’s still wholesome though. Maybe that particular Ruby Tuesdays has an excellent team. Or maybe they like spreading good vibes and every review is like that 😄

The lines don’t even map to the legend properly, they have no excuses.

There are people who use and prefer Bing

I’m really hoping this is a joke website, or it was made for a TV show or something. It was the first result when I looked up “buy organs”

https://organcity.com/about/

If they are preying on desperate people, then that is just vile and the site should get shut down.

Because none of this makes sense, emphasis mine

I’ll edit that comment for clarity

We host a few of the frontends on our own infrastructure, which improves performance for users, among other benefits like reducing strain elsewhere. It’s also easy for our local users to remember that old.lemmy.ca goes to the old interface, photon.lemmy.ca to photon, blorp.lemmy.ca to blorp etc. We are taking down the Tesseract one.

This guide page goes into what an alternative UI is, and some of the popular ones that are available. It is a little out of date, lemmy.ca also dropped tesseract we are no longer hosting Tesseract for lemmy.ca

The controversy around tesseract is better explained elsewhere, but it boils down to a questionable blocklist that the dev was injecting into the tool, without it being made apparent to the users or admins

If you have a community center nearby, you can see if they have gym equipment. Those memberships should be simple to get and cancel.

I would have expected people to be more angry at the US’s actions than Argentina’s.

During the 2026 World Cup, FIFA suspended the implementation of a one-game suspension that United States men’s national soccer team player Folarin Balogun had received after he was sent off in a round of 32 match victory against the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team for a foul on Tarik Muharemović. Balogun’s suspension was delayed for a probationary period of one year under the Article 27 authority of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. United States president Donald Trump had directly called FIFA president Gianni Infantino asking him to review the red card decision. The decision allowed Balogun to participate in the United States’ Round of 16 match against Belgium despite the red card remaining in effect. Belgium won the match 4–1, with Balogun playing almost the entire match

Another controversy, similar to when the events were hosted in Russia and Qatar, involves host countries immigration policies. The controversy during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, United States immigration and visa policies under the second Trump administration, which have affected players, officials, journalists, and fans from several qualified nations. A travel ban affecting citizens of 39 countries—including World Cup participants Haiti, Iran, Ivory Coast, and Senegal—has prevented most ordinary fans from those countries from obtaining visas to attend matches in the United States, though exemptions were granted for athletes, coaches, and essential support staff, as well as dual citizens, permanent residents, and valid visa holders. A separate visa bond program initially required fans from five African nations to pay deposits of up to $15,000, a requirement that was temporarily suspended in May 2026 for ticketed fans. Iraqi striker Aymen Hussein was detained for seven hours upon arrival at O’Hare International Airport, while Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entry and was unable to officiate at the tournament.

I do not and so I shouldn’t be one to judge

Is it data that could be recovered if needed? That’s where my concern is coming from. Not being able to back it up to fix OS issues might mean that you can’t back it up at all
