Leave it to #Disney to never pass up an opportunity to continuously milk a franchise every single chance they get.
I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't Disney's attempt to reset the clock on the film's #Copyright term. It's been ... forty-eight years.
Considering that #StarWars was released in 1977, it's Copyright term was under pre-1978 rules which were 28 years initially, then a 67 year extension if the Copyright holder filed for an extension in 2005. That would grant them a Copyright term of 95 years as of today. Let's compare that to what the Copyright term will be for this re-release of StarWars.
Are you sitting down?
It will be for another 120 fucking years! So that's the real reason Disney is re-releasing StarWars. It has nothing to do with the fans, and everything to do with Disney exploiting a #loophole to make the Copyright term for StarWars to be 168 fucking years. (Original 48 years where we are now, plus the additional 120 years they will get when they re-relase the film.)

Yeah. I'm cis and some of his songs are really good. Plus, I've always said there is nothing more sexy than anyone living as their authentic self. It really sucks. I'm hoping and praying for a blue wave in the mid-terms so we can undo all this crap that Adolf has done.

everyone knows by now that doctors are paid off by insurance companies for vaccination compliance, which is why they try to bully you into taking them. but did you know they're also paid off to NOT give you antibiotics for ACUTE BRONCHITIS?
i could understand perhaps accurate diagnosis of bacterial infection before prescribing antibiotics, which is generally a good thing, although- standard of care throat cultures typically just test for strep and can miss other bacteria, which is why doctors will often just write a script for antibiotics even in the absence of a positive test for bacteria.
but this, just flat out paying them to deny antibiotics, without any sort of qualifiers, is criminal
acute bronchitis is usually a viral infection and antibiotics best case scenario don't do anything and worst case give you c diff/antibiotic resistance lol
@vriska i'm not actually sure about how often it's viral vs bacterial, but what i do know is secondary bacterial infections after viral infections are common. see my subsequent post for my take on it
@vriska i'm aware that not all throat infections are bacterial but having some insurance bureaucrat pay off your doctor to just blanket deny you antibiotics, without any sort of qualifying diagnosis one way or another, is stupid. they should be encouraging better diagnosis not creating an incentive to deny care
@vriska and there's the real problem, you can do a throat culture easily, but determining whether that bacteria (or virus) is causing the infection is tough.
insurance looks at it from a bureaucratic numbers perspective. doctors look at it through their individual experience. who do you trust here? the insurance company or the doctor? i'll take my chances with the doctor especially since i like mine and he's smart enough to know the risks of taking antibiotics unnecessarily.
furthermore in the past i've been able to judge by how it feels, tastes, and visually by looking at the throat, whether there are signs of a bacterial infection.
this incentive discourages doctors using their judgement, even if a good diagnostic test isn't available
Press Release from MODEVITE on the Palenque -San Cristóbal Highway
We, the Tseltal, Tsotsil Indigenous peoples, and the mestizo community, express our opposition to the Palenque–San Cristóbal de las Casas Highway project in Chiapas, and to the construction of the first stretch from Palenque to Ocosingo, as it violates our right to self-determination, to our territory, to live in harmony with nature, and to a healthy, safe, and sustainable environment. We want to make it clear that from its inception, this highway has been a discriminatory, racist, and exclusionary project aimed against those of us who work the land and inhabit the territory.
The Palenque–San Cristóbal de las Casas highway project is not new—it has been proposed since the administration of Chiapas Governor Juan Sabines Guerrero (2006–2012), in collaboration with the Federal Government. Although it has been justified under the guise of “development,” the highway has not been built thanks to the resistance of organized communities that emerged due to the lack of official information and transparency about the project.
In this current administration, the present governor, Eduardo Ramírez, has revived this construction project, and in alliance with the federal government, it has now become one of the most significant projects in the country.
Eduardo Ramírez stated to the media that he would not carry out the construction of the highway without first consulting the people and Indigenous communities. Therefore, on February 17, 2025, the “Guidelines for Conducting Public Consultations Related to Strategic Development Projects in the State of Chiapas” were published in the Official State Gazette, inventing a participation mechanism called a “Public Consultation.”
The so-called “Public Consultation,” according to the government’s published Guidelines, is a mechanism through which people can decide whether or not they agree with the implementation of projects that the government classifies as “strategic development.” These Consultations are overseen by the governor himself and the General Secretariat of Government and Mediation, without including specialized authorities such as the National Institute of Indigenous Peoples (INPI).
Thus, on March 23 of this year, a Public Consultation was held regarding the first stretch of construction—from Palenque to Ocosingo—in the municipalities of Chilón, Salto de Agua, Palenque, and Ocosingo. In this consultation, the authorities did not respect our right to access environmental, social, cultural, or project execution information. The communities were not informed in advance; the invitation was only shared via social media, failing to reach the many communities where there is no cell phone or telephone service. Furthermore, polling stations were only placed in municipal centers—between two and six per location. We witnessed serious irregularities, including people who were not from the municipality being allowed to vote, thus making decisions about land that is not theirs. The true owners of the land, and those most directly affected, were not taken into account.
Once again, the bad government directly discriminates against the Indigenous peoples who inhabit this region. Racism and contempt for Indigenous communities persist, even after the constitutional reform to Article 2, which recognizes our right to consultation and self-determination.
In response to the repeated violations of our human rights, today, March 31, 2025, we have filed two legal injunctions (amparos): one against the guidelines for conducting public consultations, because they are unconstitutional; and another for violating our right to a free, prior, informed, culturally appropriate, and good-faith consultation, which is part of our right to self-determination. We have also decided to exercise our right to petition by submitting requests for information to the Governor of the State, to the Head of the General Secretariat of Government and Mediation, and to the Secretariat of Infrastructure of the State of Chiapas. We demand that they make public the information on the environmental, cultural, and social impacts related to the construction of the Palenque–San Cristóbal highway and the stretch from Palenque to Ocosingo, so that we may freely and informedly decide the future of our territory, ensuring care and respect for our Mother Earth.
Finally, we inform society in general that, based on our right to decide on our own development, the preservation of our cultural and ancestral heritage, our territory, health, equality, self-determination, and autonomy, we—the original peoples—have signed the Declaration of Peoples Free from Megaprojects, a document that represents our collective decision to resist the government’s imposition of a project that violates our rights and threatens the life of our communities.
The land is not for sale—it is cared for and defended.

Changed the oil and blades on the rider and push mower, mowed, trimmed, planted 7 hydrangeas, then weeded the landscaping. Now I’m sipping some bourbon and admiring the fruits of my labor. Tomorrow I spread 15 bags of mulch and take care of the wife’s flower garden around the mailbox. Spring hits different when you get older.

i can positively say that i'll never buy another samsung monitor, the 'smart' nonsense is not welcome and can't be deactivated. UI is retarded and bad. there's no button for 'change input'.
Genuine question. What "smart" features can a monitor even offer? Its only job is to display an image and switch input. Or cheat in games with a virtual crosshair.
@phnt i like the 'smart' features of my actual TV, i.e. the fact that it's android, because it's not like i'm watching actual TV on this. but for a computer monitor it's just extremely annoying.

I was thinking that too but then DOGE just cancelled a bunch of Accenture contracts for actual contractors helping out some of the agencies.
I think it's so they can accurately say they've lowered their labor expenses at the {cough} expense {cough} of increasing their operational expenses.
But even that doesn't make sense now that I think about it.
Adolf said DOGE was going to cut out government waste and expenditures and rehiring all the people you laid off as contractors is directly counter to that.

On the topic of 2FA (2nd factor authentication), I really do need to find an alternative that:
1) Is cloud based sync service, but can also run locally 2) Does not require you to set up on your own server 3) Can be used on multiple devices 4) Is not limited to specific hardware. 5) Can export and import if needed. 6) Outside Us Jurisdiction
If I seem to be repeating my requirements, it is because there are so many unhelpful people, who believe they are being helpful, by ignoring all those requirements. - I said, what I said.
As some of you may have realised, the planned upgrade sort of crashed everything, and we had our longest period of downtime since the site began.
This is partly because I had to go to sleep (thanks to a newborn and a job).
The good news is that the backup process worked! We've restored to seconds before the upgrade took the site offline.
The bad news is that federation is likely to be.. wonky.. for a little while. The site may also go up and down while I undo some of the fixes I tried.
Ultimately the issue came down to the upgrade failing (I am not sure why - will be digging into this now the priority is no longer getting the site up) and then the containers not talking to eachother, so the UI wouldn't talk to lemmy, and lemmy wouldn't talk to the database.
I rebuilt the containers, restored the backup, restarted everything, and it's all come back up (admittedly not perfect right now).
Importantly, I want to issue an apology. This isn't what I want for Lemmy.zip, and it should've been handled way better by myself. I'm always learning but this took way longer than it should've, and while I take some solace in the fact the backup process worked and has been proven to work in production, the delay in being able to get this back up is entirely my fault and frankly unacceptable.
I'll be working to document this outage, the steps it took to get it back up, and some form of repeatable plan so a repair can be replicated in the future if I'm not available.
In terms of upgrading to 0.19.11 - I will have to try again soon as it's got some security fixes we desperately need to implement.

‼️ WARNUNG – Die Uhr tickt: Fristen für WHO-Vertrag & IGV laufen ab!
Während wir mit Kriegen, Krisen und Chaos beschäftigt werden, stehen im Hintergrund zwei Entscheidungen an, die unsere Freiheit massiv verändern könnten:
Pandemievertrag der WHO: Wird vom 19. bis 27. Mai 2025 auf der WHO-Versammlung (WHA) verabschiedet. Er tritt nur in Kraft, wenn der Bundestag aktiv zustimmt.
Internationale Gesundheitsvorschriften (IGV): Treten automatisch in Kraft, wenn Deutschland nicht bis zum 19. Juli 2025 aktiv widerspricht. Ohne Widerspruch – volle Zustimmung. Ganz einfach.
Wird es wieder so laufen wie immer? Alle schauen weg. Medien schweigen. Bürger sind mit allem anderen beschäftigt. Und am Ende heißt es: „Jetzt ist es zu spät.“
Nicht diesmal. Teilt diese Info. Sprecht es an. Informiert und redet mit euren Abgeordneten. Stimmt hier ab: Sieh dir einmal diese Abstimmung in der App an. https:/ /www.diedemokratieapp.de/8z4x Denn wer schweigt, stimmt zu – dauerhaft.
As someone who has been doing residential moving work for over a decade, I have worked for many clients who were gay couples, and many clients who were lesbian couples.
The pattern I have noticed is that gay couples have clean homes and tend to be fairly organized on moving.
By contrast, lesbians are absolutely disgusting, filthy animals. I got sticky mystery slime on my hands twice yesterday from moving couches and desks owned by lesbians. Seriously, what the funk?
