Is there an easy way of seeing the preceding emails in a threaded format?

I read some posted yesterday that were related but it’s damn confusing whether the conversation has been active in between?

You didn’t screw up, you beautifully proved why the CLI is never a simple solution.

A ghost community doesn’t really affect anyone.

But if people do want bustling communities they just need to give them broader appeal and only splinter into niches when the demand arises.

For example rather than creating a community for a specific British 1960s sci-fi TV show. An existing retro TV community is probably sufficient, or failing that a general TV community.

This answer is probably the best here. It’s concise and answers your questions in a reasonably unbiased way.

A lot of the other answers are dripping with personal bias and a few verging on conspiracy.

OP wants to store all of their porn collection in RAM

I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t already become rampant.

If you don’t want to maintain your own library why does it matter whether it has DRM?

That’s basically what OP said isn’t it?

You see a white dude smoking a joint so you wink at them and move on.

You see a black dude in a car so you put your hand on your holster, immediately your training tells you that you should sense the smell of weed, you approach aggressively make multiple conflicting demands in rapid succession, draw your weapon etc etc.

Later that day you see a white dude smoking a joint so you wink at them and move on.

There’s a lot more detail in this BBC story but it still seems likely there’s an injunction against publishing any specifics of the lies MI5 told.

My interpretation is that “Beth” was assaulted on multi occasions by a right wing MI5 informant. She reported this to the police and the suspect was arrested. However while in custody the suspect insisted he was an MI5 operative and MI5 was contacted, MI5 then intervened and had the informant was released.

Most likely MI5 then lied about intervening (the false evidence) but the BBC have clear evidence that MI5 took charge of evidence. Thus MI5’s lies were exposed.

The police did not take a full statement from Beth or obtain the video of her being attacked. The CPS quickly discontinued the prosecution.

The police force concerned and the CPS insist the case was discontinued due to lack of evidence.

Police said they did not seize any items as part of their own investigation, and were “unable to advise when or why these were taken”.

This was untrue, as the police force concerned was responsible for calling in counter terror officers.

The police claim that property had been returned to X was also untrue - the material had been given to MI5.

Stop discriminating on pointless metrics that may actually be harmful

• people from minority backgrounds are less likely to have had access to libraries and reading resources growing up. Thus less likely to read for pleasure.
• Men are more likely to favour Sci fi than women.

Your employer doesn’t give a fuck about you. You only exist to make them profit. Just pick the most talented individual and stop discriminating based on bullshit.

It’s easy to gamble if money isn’t yours.

To my knowledge Musk is gambling with his own money, not hedge fund capital or something.

If your day to day survival depends on every dollar, then you don’t have the freedom to dick around with investments.

But, yes, this is correct. If you’re extremely wealthy then you can keep gambling. If you fail you still have a million other chances. So you’re kind of guaranteed to succeed eventually.

Whereas the common person has one chance. If they fail that’s it.

In fairness he was able to recognise which companies to buy

I think this is just survivorship bias. There are millions of wealthy individuals investing in companies every single day. Occasionally these gambles pay off and make people extremely wealthy.

Most of the time the people who succeed just spend their incredibe wealth and live a quiet happy life.

But there are others who crave attention. These individuals bully their way into prestigious positions and pretend that they’re leading the company.

Elon is that kind of person. He started wealthy, bet his money on companies that succeeded. Then took the CEO role so he would get credit for the companys’ successes.

If ever people dare stop paying attention to him he’ll do something drastic to recapture the spotlight on.

He’s the kind of person who will stand on stage and do a nazi salute just because he wants you to look at him.

That’s actually insane.

I wonder if they’ve just sent out a generic rejection without checking it.

Is it definitely the MP3 format at fault here? Was your MP3 from an official source or could it have been from a faulty source or improperly transcoded?

I guess. I don’t get it.

This sums it up exactly!

You aren’t just downvoting comments you disagree with, you’re downvoting comments because you don’t understand them.

By downvoting instead of commenting you never open that discussion to learn about somebody’s view.

And by downvoting you’re reducing the chance that somebody else might see the comment. Who either does understand it, or responds to continue the discussion.

I completely agree, you’ve summed up my view far better than I could.

There’s also a controversial approach that if you’re debating with someone and you believe in the points you’re making then you should upvote even the comments you disagree.

By doing so the full thread of comments is ranked higher so more people see the incredibly clever points you’re articulating.

This isn’t so relevant on Lemmy right now because it’s still small so you might read all comments on ba post. But it made a massive difference on reddit where there were thousands of comments. So the algorithm becomes very selective.

It’s not harmless. They’re maliciously using downvotes and as a consequence lemmy’s algorithm will rank OPs content lower.

This isn’t a case of downvoting individual statements you disagree with, it’s harassment.

The mod took down my post without any comment, reply, or reason.

This is definitely enough reason to post in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

It also opens up an interesting debate about what is appropriate. While the mod action is understandable (they don’t want rival communities), it’s a bit of a misuse of mod tools to delete it in my opinion.

Then separately they’re harassing you by following you round downvoting everything you post. That’s the sign of somebody unhinged. They are able to compartmentalise actions that occur inside their community from the wider Lemmy.
