  • The operation in Guarujá was criticised by Brazil’s Justice Minister Flavio Dino, who said the police’s reaction was not proportional to the crime committed.

    I am curious, what would have been a proportional respond to a police officer being killed then? Let them get away without anything?

    As tragic as any life loss is, I am not sure what other outcome could be expected from going after traffickers that are killing officers









  • I think it has been a great experience so far; I joined Lemmy.world after seeing it mentioned in comments on Reddit and after signing up, stopped all my usage of Reddit even before the API changes went into effect.

    It took some work to find communities and block all the repost bots, as I think the bots just create spam without any user engagement.

    I think some of the biggest improvements Lemmy can do now is:

    • to fix the sorting algorithms. For example so that Hot is not bringing up 3 year old posts that got one or two comments, and instead highlights current content that users are engaging on
    • maturity of mobile applications. Memmy and Mlem have seen rapid development and are becoming great apps already, but need some refining that will come with time and user feedback





  • Folks that rent an Airbnb are often wanting more than a boring room (full kitchen, yard, washer/dryer), which is still without a doubt vastly cheaper than any hotel.

    Sure there are shitty hosts with ridiculous rules, but those are things you should be researching in advance to paying.

    I have stayed at Airbnbs across 4 states and four countries; other than one of them being cancelled due to plumbing issues, we have not had a single problem and each time it was far cheaper (~40%) and had more options than hotels.
