The statement was

What is it about the lemm.ee domain that produces accounts with the most cringe, awful takes?

Now, I wouldn’t say that’s really appropriate here, Dagwood222’s comment above that wasn’t cringe nor awful. However, apparently UnderpantsWeevil already has this perception of lemm.ee users, and hexbear users making up a chunk of the userbase is my explanation for that.

No one ever really spoke bad of lemm.ee users before the hexbear defederations, and it was a clear echo of the complaints about lemmy.ml users that also started at the same time. It’s just a bandwagon/circlejerk, really; a cheap way of getting upvotes from other users not on those instances that only has a pinch of truth. But that pinch is what I was describing.

I think the issue is less about who is manipulating it - basically everyone is - and more about the lack of regulation and control to prevent, stop, or even punish those manipulating the stock market negatively, be it for greater profits or political.

The two devs themselves are massive tankies. They also run lemmygrad.

lemm.ee has one of if not the best admin, and was always running more smoothly in earlier versions. More than that, when other bugs were taking out .world and many others, lemm.ee was already immune and the admin helped the other instances sort theirs out too. lemm.ee has a lot of good users.

However, when hexbear was banned, users on that instance started moonlighting on other instances. There were very few instances that were still federated with hexbear but also with the others, where all the conversation was - many wanted one account that could browse both. Several went to lemmy.ml, the instance run by the formal lemmy developers, and there was a noticeable shift in user behaviour from the instance. But lemm.ee never really was targeted by the hexbear brigading that led to their defederation with everyone else, perhaps because lemm.ee doesn’t really have any massive communities itself, not as big as the others.

So yeah, lemm.ee can still browse hexbear, and with that you get a sizeable chunk of their userbase spilling over. So some lemm.ee users do indeed suck. It’s not as bad as .ml, though, and I think that’s in no small part thanks to the lemm.ee admin team keeping the more extremist users in check.

It’s not so much bubble behaviour as it is widescale fraud across the stock market.

So the cats had it right all along.

You could always take the performance hit and install it on a virtual machine. I’ve even heard of people who have an APU (CPU and GPU on the same chip) along with a discrete GPU, or just two GPU’s, and they run the base operating system on the weaker GPU then run the VM and dedicate the entire good GPU to it, which gets near to bare metal performance allegedly.

Trump said he was going to reinstate all the debt anyway.

I prefer this song about the drawer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIIdTcWIUOk

In Yorkshire they call this a rammel drawer

Trump wants to increase the debt ceiling, not so they can finance government projects, but so he can raid the taxpayer coffers to pay his backers.

He didn’t get a pardon, his sentence was commuted. That means they ended it early, but he’s still guilty of the crime.

That’s probably illegal.

I wonder how much the Saudis paid for the dirt that Qatar employed an Indian hack for hire company to dig up on FIFA?

Apparently his mother was also being screwed around by UHC.

Yeah, that was my impression also. Couple that with the travesty that was 13th Gen overheating and their refusal to even acknowledge it for so long, and I would say AMD are the wiser investment.

Ultimately there isn’t that much difference in them for most applications, though. Bigger gains can be had with GPU, SSD and even just moar RAM.

These days I’m more fond of savoury when it comes to pie, so I’d say a good, fresh pork pie with the jelly only just set.

If you follow the logic that makes Hertfordshire East of England, then Greater London should also be East of England.

Hitchin isn’t East of England, it’s in Northamptonshire and west of London centre.

You’re right, my brain went the wrong way with the half hour and considered 7:00-17:00.
