The easiest president to buy America has ever had

21·9 days agoWell, the oh-so-grassroots group behind this suit didn’t even exist until 5 weeks ago…
Oh, an “internet rights group”? Hey, I like internet rights!
“Digital Freedom Project”? Hey, I like digital freedom!
Let me learn more about them!
I go to their website.
Ooh, lots of scary words, analogies & imagery about the big, bad ban: chains! locks!!!
But I still don’t know who these awesome freedom fighters actually are.
So I go to their About page.
Which informs that they are… “a group of Australians”. That’s it. Not one single name of a person, group or institution. Hundreds of words about how this ban (AND NOTHING ELSE ON THE INTERWEBS EVER) is bad, and how they are fighting the ban, and how you can even help pay them to fight the ban. But just four words about them: “a group of Australians”.
Not even stock photos or AI slop images, not even autogenerated-looking generic names expressing support for the righteous cause. Not even one name to contact. Nothing.
There is an ABN (Australian Business Number) in a tiny font at the bottom of their. Looking it up, I get this:

Or the secretary?
You laugh, but this is how Skynet came about!
Nope, and plenty did happen sooner.

Personally, in the middle of my 4th(?) rewatch of 3rd Rock. I’ve never gone out of my way to rewatch HI.
Co-starring Michael Paré, so you know it’s quality!
And… the guy with the hat.
I wonder if he gets it written into his contract that his character wears a hat. I wonder how many jobs he lost for his refusal to appear hatless.
Any university that wouldn’t automatically give a full scholarship to a ninja cheerleader doesn’t deserve them!

Check these sites for #Monsterdon start time in your location:
@sergio@lemmy.world Your OP says UTC 01.00, but I believe starting today it’s UTC 02.00. I’ve added “summer/winter” times to UTC column here:
9·1 month agoThe court prohibits the wearing of shorts, skorts, sleeveless shirts, hats/caps (excluding ones worn for religious or cultural reasons) and “other clothing not suitable in a Court or any other professional environment.”
Well, he complied with that rule.
On the poster, the port’s quite large but in the film they look more like VGA ports. Can’t find a screenshot, tho.
If a social media post of a screenshot of a social media post of a screenshot of a social media post says so… then it must be true!

Confused. Surely pineapples don’t grow in Canada or Wisconsin?

- I second what @martine@sh.itjust.works suggests
- I knew of Pixabay for images, cool you found they also do music
- Another source: maybe Jamendo? Here’s their page on licensing. I believe those subscription plans support use with fewer limitations & additional features/services, but I think you can start building a library of tracks for free (but I am not an expert)
Stepsy
I’ve tried a few step counters (Paseo, Pedometer PFA) but they kept crashing (a couple of times a week) so I’d often go to check my steps only to find they hadn’t been counting.
In the two months I’ve been using Stepsy, it hasn’t crashed once.
Fancy? No. Reliable? Yes.
