Think about that for a second. Immigration and Customs Enforcement by definition involves at least one border and 2 countries. Even if they only went after American citizens (which they're trying to do), they'd be deporting you somewhere else.

As it is, I suspect a significant number of at-risk people in the US and their advocates use Android.

Yes... That's the point. It's neutral, positive, inclusive, accepting. And that's counter to a political viewpoint (not party) that doesn't accept everyone.

Incompetence is not a "privacy implication". You think Apple servers are beyond reach of US warrants?

Glad others have pointed this out. Their "reasons" for not supporting 70% of worldwide smartphones via Android seemed very suspect.

It's against one. Just like they demonize "Antifa".

MAGA is a mental illness. It flies in the face of all logic, is more important than friends and family, is above the law, relies on cult-like devotion, and is always right, even when proven wrong.

Community (TV Show) Pilot Mistake (self.Television)
 

Started S01E01 of Community and I couldn't help noticing this:

Sorry for calling out this random extra, but he's clearly wearing a left "over the ear" style set of earbuds on his right ear. Do you think the prop master just gave them out, or did he get confused and force it into the wrong ear...?

Commented on a post with the most recent (non-Breitbart) headline and updates. Added this with 3 independent sources:

FYI, Breitbart is a far-right, low-quality source.

Media Bias Fact Check

Media Bias Chart

AllSides

Mod apparently didn't like a more reputable source being added to their post because it was removed in minutes lol.

reason: Rule 6 Violation

Rule 6: Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

Just admit you want an echo chamber to spread disinformation and promote biased articles! Using this rule to police sources is very thinly-veiled censorship...

Still in development? Unblocking bug (self.syncforlemmy)
 

Is Sync still being actively supported/worked on? Also, I found out today I can't unblock another user, tried multiple times, they're still on the list and I can't see their comments. Thanks in advance!

Gig Souls? (self.shittydarksouls)
 

Not sure if this is allowed, so feel free to remove:

My new favorite "fuck around" activity is to employ "gig phantoms". I summon a friendly phantom, then wave and run toward a dog or easy enemy. I point toward it, at which point they dispatch it! I then emote Joy, or Jump for joy, drop the Thank You carving, leave them 1 Ember, then send them home. If you haven't tried it, it's absolutely hilarious...

WTF is a risa!? (self.risa)

Hello. It's hugely annoying to look at "community information" and find just an in-joke that won't make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I'm sure that's fine for those already initiated, but I still don't know what "risa" means!

Don't worry, I also know you don't care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out...? Well, that's fine; it's your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don't even clarify where their interests lie...

EDIT: Don't worry, I'm gone, and I've turned off reply notifications... I have even watched Star Trek! But don't fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you're safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won't bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping...
