Tariffs change. Especially when Trump or another nutcase is in office.

UN members back resolution directing Israel to leave occupied territories in c/globalnews@lemmy.zip

All of Israel is occupied Palestinian territory.

Regardless, this is non-binding. I don't expect it to do anything.

Has anyone else ever seen an SSH key/fingerprint thing string together an actual word? Or how about a curse word? XD in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

The explanation is that it's random. Generate enough random strings and you're bound to get everything.

This is entirely symbolic. The guy is already in prison and would never be able to pay that.

Yup!

Not that that's new. They've been assassinating people around the world for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_assassinations

No, I don't think we can assume that at this point.

I assume they use the cell phone network these days, so any in flight probably weren't able to receive the signal. On board but not at elevation is a pretty small window, so the number could be as small as zero.

Most providers in the US allow it too. It's great that Germany has it enshrined in law, but in practice it's not the exception.

This post crashes Boost when you see it in the post list (lemm.ee)

If you tap that link in Boost it'll probably crash, so don't do it unless you're okay with that.

I'm guessing the problem is that the post URL is a magnet link.

Edit: oh yeah, to work around, you'll have to open it in a browser and hide it.

Mods of !news are now banning people for criticizing the MBFC bot? (lemm.ee)
 

I got banned earlier today with the message "rule 1", no other information about why, or which comment broke the rule. As far as I can tell it was this one, which just says "We want the bot gone. That’s it. It’s really that simple."

So I checked the modlog for other bans, and @aniki@lemmings.world was banned today as well, also just for "rule 1", probably either for the comment saying "a stupid bot writing useless bullshit" or "This is what you call "Not listening to criticism."", neither of which are an attack on any person.

(Also earlier today @MindTraveller@lemmy.ca was banned with the message "fuck off", which I'm pretty sure is not a reason to ban someone from a major community, but doesn't appear to be related to the MBFC bot.)

One more today, @stormesp@lemm.ee was banned, again just "rule 1", last comment being this one, again not an attack on any person.

So what's the deal here? I couldn't find any rules for mods on lemmy.world with a brief poke around, but are we letting mods run major communities like little fiefdoms, banning people for criticism?
