The problem with this reasoning is that many of the popular communities are actually on lemmy.ml, and they're not so easy to replace. I mean, in terms of content and engagement lemmy is already a pretty small place as it is.

I think this is a core problem of lemmy as it is right now. This place is meant to be federated and decentralized. Instead it is heavily centralized as communities lie on one instance. What one needs should be federated communities as well. Like say c/linux@lemmy.world is the same as c/linux@someotherinstance.com. this way one could subscribe to communities on your home instance and if the home instance defederates from one other instance the community can defederate from the community on that instance without completely breaking apart

A washing machine is obviously female because doing laundry is a thing for women.

And now I will sit back and watch how many people get mad at me because they don't understand sarcasm.

A mod of a community is there for the purpose of moderation. He neither is nor needs to be an expert or a guru on the topic. If you want to talk and learn about something somewhere where the guy in charge also knows everything go to school / university. Teachers and professors will do the trick

If you believe your religion is the only correct one, you'll make sure to distance yourself from other variants even of the same faith.

America is far from Europe and if there are people believing the US is the pinnacle of creation and Trump reincarnated Jesus himself, that phrase will eventually come up and stick

Well if you really assume your body won't be found you just decompose like any animal. Just open youtube. There are enough timelaps videos about this topic. The last few remaining things are your bones and hair. Hair just decomposes badly, bones will last even longer. Ah and any plastic and metal you are carring around of course. Clothes, and jewelry or implants like silicon boobs and hip joints.

Let me guess: everyone just tried it out to see if their personal choice will be recommended?

honestly, I've only clicked on this post because of your username

"Foss Microsoft Office for Linux actually it isn't in Opensource"

This is so cringe.

Danke, das war verwirrend

You're joking right?

Ah the irony. An AI bot summarizing an article about an AI bot making up things and people blindly relying on it.

In that way it does not. You can move a boat wirh a fan if you use it to blow the air away from the boat to create thrust like a plane. If you direct the fan onto the sail the force of the forward motion will be canceled out by the backwards thrust (if the sail has 100% efficiency which it does not)

The default app is only just like any other app. The fact that it is the default / preinstalled doesn't mean it is minimal or necessary software. In fact any company can release their own slightly modified version of Android. That's also the reason why a Samsung smartphone, a google pixel and some other random small company might all have Android xyz installed but you get a different set of preinstalled apps, different Launcher / home screen or standard settings.

So what your default app does or can do depends what or whose app it actually is and random people from the internet cannot tell you more about it if you don't give more context.

Note that the proposal was sent by fax

Sorry, I should have expressed this more clearly. I do that. When you press quit, you see a message at the bottom of the screen where it says, it is erasing the data, and then the app closes.

Woops. Two guys left. Naa that's enough to repopulate earth

Their own encryption technology is kind of useless because impractical. However I don't want to judge whether it's secure or not. You can only send encrypted messages to other tuta users. No pgp / smime support. If you want to send someone without tuta an encrypted message, they will send them an email with a link where they can enter a password you have agreed on. So if you want to communicate with officials, banks, companies etc. you will always disable it. Also those encrypted messages will never be deleted as one might be able to access it via the link later. This causes your 'free' storage to fill up with old garbo.

Your right differs from mine

What I mean is that a subset of all Linux communities agrees on a common set of rules and forms a community of communities. Content of all communities is shared with everyone who subscribes to one of the communities. Every community moderates its own content. If one community decides to have stricter rules than the others it can defederate. Basically just like on the level of instances.

What stops us to just defederate from lemmy.ml is that the community is hosted there and all members are linked to that one point of failure.

Maybe need to update the search index first

Hey me too!

Question: Are pants and underwear considered as a container?

"Officer I swear I just wanted to see which phone causes such a big bulge in his pockets! How could I know that the pills grant X Ray vision!"

I use qksms

The simple sms app had some issues with not sending some messages for me even though it showed me it did.

Green blue and pink. I have 20 dollars and the other two do not alter anything

And that's the issue. I totally understand that one does not want to look through tens of thousands of lines of code just to use a silly little app. Even if you can understand the programming language and even if you took your time to look into it, its really unlikely that one would find either malicious code or simply security relevant bugs just from skimming through it.

However, if everyone just relys on others no one actually checked it. Yes it is possible to look into OS code but that alone doesn't make it better. There has to be at least someone to check it. The open source community is such a small one already.

It's like buying a ticket for the train. There might be controls so almost everyone does it. But as soon as it gets common knowledge that there are never any checks some will start to not do so. And in case of software even if something gets spotted eventually it might have had enough time to cause serious damage

Thank you for your response! My phone uses Android 8 (saidly the manufacturer doesn't provide the software upgrade...) and at least I did not actively revoke any permissions (as I don't know how :D)

However, your explanation what's actually happening gave me an idea what the problem might be and I found it: I am using Blokada and apparently this interferes with the check. Deactivating Blokada solves the problem and reactivating it will cause the same issues again. Then I also noticed that my Blokada version is way to old and it didn't received any updates because apparently it was removed from fdroid and there was a lot of fuzz about it which I need to catch up with.

So I guess it's not a jerboa issue. Still, thank you for your help! I really appreciated it.

I have a similar issue with the line break and the numbers. Double tapping it will copy the last word word If I enter a number it wil also copy it4it.

What you are describing is basically Mastodon

No. Mastodon and twitter are short message services. Lemmy and reddit are content aggregators.

The moment you aggregate communities across instances you remove the ability to moderate them. Because maybe a hexbear mod wants to remove all mention of the Uyghur people, an ml mod wants to remove all mention of genocide against them, and a zip mod wants to remove all the comments about why genocide is good in a thread about god damned Bluey. Do they all get to delete everything across every instance? Do you start having different views of the same community depending on your home instance?

Instance A also cannot moderate the content of Instance B. Your argument is therefore invalid. The point of federation is that instances can agree on a common set of rules and values or not. In that case they defederate from each other. However, this doesn't work in practice as communities are centralized. Obviously, most of us agree that lemmy.ml is a problem but we don't federate just because they 'own' the instance.
