I frequently see comments saying stuff like “don’t trust them, they’re from Lemmy.ml” or “I’m glad Hexbear defederated” usually in terms of tankies/pro-russia anti-Ukraine support. Or occasionally, a random dislike of Lemmy.world because it’s too much like Reddit (isn’t that the point?)
What do you need local group policy for?
When it comes to things I don’t want to read during my lunch break, yes.
If I had to read a 20 minute post just to doomscroll Elon and Linux, I’d just stick to Reddit. Whatever nefarious stuff they’re doing isn’t more valuable than 20 minutes of my real world time.
And like switching Linux distros, switching Lemmy instances means losing everything unless you have an external backup.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the scammers used my country’s do-not-call list as a list of known live numbers to call. Because no one’s enforcing it and you don’t really know who’s calling with the number is spoofed.
My iPhone just has a list of them where you can tap one and see a transcription I can quickly read to confirms it’s spam, does your phone not?
Not for buying new DSiware games?
I hope they didn’t close their account two years ago!
Take a field trip to Michigan?
Yes but this is Lemmy, where anyone who doesn’t think Capitalism = bad and billionaires should be shot is a nazi. Some people don’t want to think about politics all the time, especially when it’s so extreme (no I don’t believe half of American voters are nazis). I know the obsession with Elon’s salute made me avoid Lemmy and go back to my niche subreddits until I got bored of them.
your average toilet uses 3-5 gallons per flush
I’m pretty sure toilets generally use 1.6 gallons per flush, and that’s a legal mandate.
Source: used to have an autistic obsession with them.
Aren’t liberals and leftists the same thing? Everyone seems to agree that capitalism is bad, the government should provide more social services, our democratic leaders suck (but we should vote for them anyway because republicans are worse), etc.
Honestly Lemmy seems more like a circlejerk than a divide, the only divide I see is how far we need to go to fix/destroy the system. I don’t think I’ve seen a single conservative voice, which is pretty surprising considering Trump apparently won the popular vote, and I’d expect I’d at least see someone from the other side.
To be fair, the pandemic feels like it was ages ago. It was so long ago that the economy recovered, crashed again, companies reversed WFH policies, and are now apparently not enforcing RTO (at least that’s what I heard from a friend of a friend who works at Google).
But not everywhere has moved on at the same rate. In Wisconsin it feels like a distant memory, but in California the buses still have signs saying “masks strongly recommended but not required”
I’ve got to choose this timeless meme: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
They probably mean that they use pictures of Nintendo Luigi in memes about the shooting (in place of pictures of the human Luigi), not that people select Luigi as a character more often in a certain video game.
I thought FIFA was for soccer, and the NFL handled football
I feel like most accessories these days either use Bluetooth, or (for e.g. cars) have a phone-agnostic USB port so they can work with Android too. Plus cables aren’t that hard to replace. I feel like the days of the iPod speaker dock and the iDog with a proprietary cable stub are long gone.
I don’t know but that image looks sick
Yes, as someone who doesn’t use third party apps, I’d like to know this too.
