I am new like most of us. When I signed up I had no idea what an instance was. To me the name Lemmy.world sounded like it was more general and therefore would have more content so I picked that one.

He is going after churches next, right? Propaganda to youth and all.

I had 3 babies and spent $0 on video monitoring. Your baby will be fine. Don't fall for the advertising drama. Babies have been fine for thousands of years with no electronics.

I wanted to hire a guy and then we found a lie on his resume. He said he had graduated but in fact he had a few weeks left to graduate. He would have the degree by the time he started the position. Our agency wouldn't touch him after that. A lie on the resume was a deal killer.

If he said "Degree expected on <date>" rather than I have a degree he would have the job now.

All of my subscribed lemmy communities have no new content.

It will get hot quickly.

Last time my son got a flu test it was $180. This time he was sick and school needed a note so I went to the Dr. They asked if I wanted a flu and covid test. I said, "How much will it cost?" Nurse said "I have no way of knowing that."

I said, "No. Unless you tell me how much it will cost." She walked out in a huff to go get the Dr.

How are we supposed to "let the market sort out the cost" when we can't see the cost before the bill?

I like it.

Diversity is the most stable plan. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Get food from multiple sources.

No. It not the UI. It is the pick a "Feterated Instance" stuff before you even know what it is. No one knows those words. It should just work for new users. Instances and federation should be presented later.

That's shocking to me too. Why travel if you aren't going to make the most of being in a different place?

But the web app spams my browser history with everything I ever touched on Lemmy. I absolutely don't want that. It is nice to have the app separate from my chrome history.

Are you even tangentially familiar with US history? US citizens have historically been right up there with Nazi level hate. Racism didn't just go away. It just became illegal to own slaves.

I have nothing to hide but I still don't want you watching me poop.

Bullshit. If I learn engineering from a textbook, or a website, and then go on to design a cool new widget that makes millions, the copyright holder of the textbook or website should get zero dollars from me.

It should be no different for an AI.

People who play music through speakers while hiking.

That's great and all, but after you move, how do you get anyone at all to look at it?

Define slow. I have to wait months or more for an appointment in the US. Is it that slow? Emergency visits take hours, sometimes charging people who wait but don't get service. Is it that slow?

It was cool at the time but she converted to Islam, became a finatic and became the very thing she was taking a stand against.

But Putin said it. It has to be true!

Federation just means it's confusing to sign up. I don't care if I am a leech. I just want content and the ability to use my preferred app to get it.

They should have tons of audio and video of the insurrection too then right? Or is this only a tool we use on democrats?

The definition of illiterate is "unable to read or write."

That pretty much sounds like what you just said. What do you think it means?

There isn't much nuance in the definition.

I just got here from reddit and have no idea how this place works. All I know is that if you want all the reddit users to help this place grow someone needs to do a better job of explaining how it works or it needs to get way simpler.

If you don't want all the reddit refugees that's fine too. Carry on!

When can we get a viable third party?

Why would anyone, but especially a vet, not be anti-war? A vet has seen war up close. Why would they want more of it?

How do you get your Samsung phone to update. Mine says it is up-to-date and it's running 13.

Spotted the 36 year old. Put on some glasses old man!

I hope my kids don't go to the same school that you did.

So, plus or minus a little, it is similar to the US, but free.

What are they going to do, take him to court?

In the USA, in a public space, Member B doesn't have a legal leg to stand on. You have no right to privacy in a public space.

Good point.

This "It's just like email" makes no sense at all to me. My email is nothing like Lemmy. It is the most confusing description I have ever heard.

0.8 population growth is what the earth needs. It isn't what bankers want so it isn't what we will get.
