Won't get you into the itty bitty titty committee

So, from what I can tell anyways, it does seem like the original answer is what you're looking for. Each instance has a list of its own communities that you can see. You can also see a list of other instances that are federated to an instance by browsing to /instances (ex. https://lemmy.ca/instances shows all the instances lemmy.ca is federated with as well as which ones are blocked). As far as I know, there is no way to see a list of all communities from all federated instances. There are some external sites that seem to have these sorts of lists like https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Lemmy isn't focused on everyone seeing everything but on keeping corporate interests and power tripping admins out. The idea is to encourage as many people as possible to run their own instance of Lemmy both to share the infrastructure costs and limit the power each instance holds. Keeping hosting costs down is why instances don't pull from communities nobody is subscribed to.

It was really easy. The Paycheck Protection Program wasn't administered by the government directly. Instead, it authorized banks and financial institutions to issue PPP loans using government money. These institutions were told they wouldn't be found at fault if they gave money to a fraudulent applicant. So they were authorized to give out money that wasn't theirs and couldn't be found at fault even if they gave it to a fraudster. There was zero reason to check if the application was real or filled with fake information. It's estimated that, of the 21 million PPP loans issued, 10% were fraudulent.

Lol @ the Gearbox CEO defending the DLC

My favorite artists, performers, and entertainers have all made things I didn’t like so much. It’s cool. When artists have a miss, that’s when they need fans the most to root them on so they are motivated to keep creating. I don’t know if I will ever make anything again that you like, but wouldn’t it be better for you to have that chance to decide than for artists to never create again after a marketplace miss?

This isn't his game. He bought a game other people created and then made a shitty DLC, probably in an effort to cash in on the name and success of the original. That's not what artists do, that's what out of touch CEOs do.

My brother has been playing for years and has a few paid accounts. Here's how he explained it to me. All paid accounts had their prices locked in until you cancelled them. His first, and main, account had a price of $5 a month because he first bought it 15 years ago.

There are also "ironman" modes that exist in the main game. It's an option at character creation that will restrict your account from trading with other players forcing you to obtain all items on your own instead of just buying them from the trade board. Since you need to make a new character, this is also another payment. My brother has two ironman accounts.

There are "leagues" which are new temporary servers where the rules are different and XP gain is incredibly fast. You're given tasks to complete before the "league" ends and are awarded cosmetic items based on how much you complete. This requires its own paid account to play. My brother has one of these too.

In total he spent about $20 a month on the game for his various accounts. This change to the subscription will set every single one of his subscriptions to $14 a month raising his monthly payment to something like $56 a month which is ridiculous. He plans on ending all of his subscriptions since there is now no incentive to stay subscribed (the price is no longer locked in). So my brother, a long time and devoted customer, will play the game less and give less money because Jagex is hoping most people like him won't go through the hassle of unsubscribing.

He, and lots of other long time players, are hoping that Jagex does what other MMOs do and allow multiple accounts for one subscription price.

"No you can't work from home, how can we tell if you're actually working or not?"

I haven't played the DLC but I have played with the Chef mod and from the reviews it seems like a random modder made a better Chef than Gearbox.

I work at a factory with unionized workers. There are 3 workers in their 80s who say they wouldn't be able to live if they didn't come into work. They're all given light duties so it's more like adult daycare than working.

When I first got hired I was shocked to learn that our union contract has no retirement benefits. I asked our rep and he told me that years ago the workers voted to remove retirement benefits in favour of a higher base pay. Now we have old people daycare because nobody used that higher base pay to save for retirement. They just spent it. People really don't think about retirement until they want to retire.

why not make everything (instance).com?

The cost of a (word).com domain can be tens of thousands of dollars if nobody owns it to millions of dollars if someone does. The cost of a (word).social domain is like $10.

What is there not to trust? There are lots of disassemblers for binary files. Ghidra just comes with tools to make analyzing the resulting assembly code easier by doing things like graphing the jumps in code, allowing the user to give custom names to variables and functions, and attempting to convert the assembly into C code.

It would make sense that the NSA spends a lot of time reverse engineering programs. Not all hackers share their exploits publically, so one way to find unpublished exploits is by reverse engineering viruses and malware to find out what vulnerabilities are being exploited.
