House panel advances sweeping bill of Trump immigration priorities
Republicans on the panel voted down a series of proposed amendments from Democrats, including one that would bar the deportation of U.S. citizens, with Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) calling it “batshit crazy” that such a resolution would even be needed to stem the tide of problematic deportations.
Beyond the immigration priorities in the bill, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) drew attention to the very last provision of the bill — one that would limit the ability of courts to enforce contempt orders issued against the Trump administration. Goldman accused the Trump administration of flouting a Supreme Court directive to “facilitate” the return of mistakenly deported man Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
“You would think that [my Republican colleagues] would say, ‘Huh, let’s make sure that our president is actually following court orders, because if he’s not following court orders, then why would anyone else follow court orders – and our entire system breaks down.’ That is clearly what Donald Trump wants

Where I live, we have periodic episodes of this stuff raining down from the clouds (possibly due to natural chemtrails), and we have to stay indoors until it passes.

Twice as much garbage I won’t use.

They re-untruthed it!



Thank you for your input. It’s greatly appreciated, .ml user!

This is a perfect metaphor for America since Trump was elected.

I want to have hope. I sincerely do.

To be honest, I’m not sure any of us are. We’re just kind of going through the motions.
At least, I am.

Not even remotely surprised. They’ve integrated themselves into almost every facet of the American tech industry. America’s “strongest ally” has been spying for years, without any repercussions.

Am I the only one who hates the loot drops?
Or the lack thereof?
I’ve gotten two Uniques the entire time I’ve been grinding my way to level 50, and both of them are the same.
Even the rares aren’t very helpful at all. It seems like I’m just running maps constantly in hopes of finding something, and never do.

Tattardigrades are now my favorite things.

Mine isn’t that way at all. My feed is always set to “All”, and it’s a diverse range of discussions.

CATS

One of my favorite bands ever!

Garbage using garbage to produce garbage.

Yes

I don't know that one 😅

FDT.

And as usual, they’ll get away with it.
I sincerely cannot understand world leaders’ acceptance (or worship) of Israel. They allow them to do anything, and even speaking out against them can be a crime… while they commit genocide with zero repercussions.

Rules 1 & 2 were clearly broken by someone in the club.

Aww, poor Nazi getting shunned by his peers. So sad.

D&D released into Creative Commons

Volo's latest magnum opus can see print at last.

The core of the new Dungeons & Dragons rules have been released into the Creative Commons so you can use them when you publish your own D&D material
Last year, Wizards of the Coast announced that when the three core books that formed Dungeons & Dragons' updated 2024 ruleset were out, the essence of those rules—the System Reference Document, or SRD—would be made available under a Creative Commons licence. And now, it has.
This is a big deal because, while D&D's 5th edition rules SRD was previously available under the terms of the Open Gaming Licence, or OGL, it was potentially subject to revision. Letting the basics of the most popular tabletop RPG be used by third-party developers—who could sell their creations and retain the rights to them—had made more niche publications like [Weeke

Vaccines are antivirus updates
This likely isn’t an original thought. At all.

Any plans on open source?
Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but will Arctic eventually be open source?

See you nerds later

I know this sounds arbitrary and pointless, but I love sharing screenshots from Lemmy to other platforms.
If this is too difficult to implement, please disregard, but I’d love to see it.

Phantom OG strain review:


Yup, it’s weed. I got high. Then I ate some crackers.
Hell yeah.
7/10

POE 2 bosses just aren't fun.


It’s not even a real challenge. They’re either too easy, or they instakill, which just ruins the entire experience.
The whole, “Ahh, you thought I was dead, but now I’m changing” bullshit gets old, too. They’re granted a new, full health bar. Neat.
It doesn’t seem like they’ve done much balancing at all, unless they’ve nerfed builds. That’s about it.

I hate banning, but sometimes it's necessary


Had a user here on the Tankie thread that was obviously just being contentious for the sake of it, and being insulting to users here.
I hate being that person who bans, deletes posts, etc. It seems kind of authoritarian to me. So please, lovely Lemmings, be cool to each other.

I need some TST friends
The local chapter here has broken off because of issues with Lucien Greaves (I'm avoiding that discussion), so I'm kind of floating around.
Even having a few likeminded people on Lemmy would be great.


Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB with the codename 'Krasnov', claims an ex-Soviet spy.

Yahoo UK has the story, but Yahoo in America says it's 404'd. 🤔

Bad news, again. Trump wants to destroy USPS.
Aside from the more obvious reasons that this is terrible, I also have selfish reasons for being upset about this (I'll edit this later).

Weed post

Cap Junky is an extremely potent, pungent cannabis strain crossing Alien Cookies x Kush Mints #11. The cultivar is a collaborative project between two of the most important modern breeders, Capulator and Seed Junky Genetics. Seed Junky sold Cap Junky clones for $1,000 each in 2021. Capulator's farm ...

This is the first time I've smoked this strain, and holy shit, it's nice.
Pretty strong, but a nice, happy high.


"THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN."

The doge[.]gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”
Doge[.]gov was hastily deployed after Elon Musk told reporters Tuesday that his Department of Government Efficiency is “trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions—we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website.” At the time, DOGE was an essentially blank webpage. It was built out further Wednesday and Thursday, and now shows a mirror of the @DOGE X account posts, as well as various stats about the U.S. government’s federal workforce.

An incomplete list of terrible things:
I used ChatGPT to make a short list of major world events that have occurred since the decade I was born. The list is obviously incomplete (there's so much happening right now), but it paints a pretty decent picture of how fucked this world has been.
Also worth noting that DeepSeek stopped at 1989, cleared the list, and said, "Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else." Imagine that.
undefined
• 1980 – Mount St. Helens erupts in the U.S. • 1981 – Assassination attempt on U.S. President Ronald Reagan • 1982 – Falklands War between the UK and Argentina • 1983 – U.S. invasion of Grenada • 1984 – Assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi • 1986 – Space Shuttle Challenger disaster • 1986 – Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the USSR • 1987 – Black Monday stock market crash • 1989 – Tiananmen Square Massacre in China • 1990–1991 – Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) • 1993 – World Trade Center bombing in New York • 1994 – Rwandan genocide • 1995 – Okla

Jellyfin is incredible


Finally got around to setting up a local Jellyfin server, then setup Tailscale to access it remotely while I'm out.
Setup was super easy — way easier than I anticipated — including the basic setup of Tailscale.
