I'm late to reply but thank you for the response, this is the kind of response and examples I was looking for.

Yorkshire Tea

The hot air is also guaranteed to keep the tent up.

Great advice. I've sometimes woken up several fields over after the fire has been a bit ferocious. The screams of my family as we've flown over people's houses has also caused some complaints.

There's been civil wars in nations all over the world. I think they're poking fun at which is the civil war? I'm guessing it's the Spanish one.

I hate them too but unfortunately the vast majority of schools require them. It pisses me off how much time and energy is spent enforcing meaningless rules.

Unfortunately the kids school uniform needs ironing, and my t-shirts are always way more creased when they dry on the washing line outside than when they've been in the drier.

That last statement is meaningless given the crazy levels of security they have on keeping people in. If they took away all the restrictions on leaving then the numbers would go through the roof.

The fact they're called defectors says it all. Anywhere else they'd be called emigrants.

I don't think you can correlate the number of readers to the number of book instances or whatever they're called. Most people (myself included) probably just use Goodreads, and BookWyrm is probably a good enough alternative that there's no need to spin up another.

Edit: according to this there's a lot of instances: https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances/

There's Linux distro called suicide Linux that wipes your hard drive on any mistyped command.

X is suing X. X is a social media company, and so is X. I hope that clears things up!

If you're new to Lemmy then it won't be common knowledge at all.

Allman looks fine to me. But I'm a C# dev so maybe I'm just used to it.

I don't see any issues here, she should be able to be towed out to sea and dive successfully.

The plane probably had a low stock of alcohol. The drinks trolley usually goes really slowly down the aisle so all it might have taken was a dozen or so passengers ordering a couple of cans each and then they're sold out.

People getting mauled to death by a certain dog breed isn't "karen-ass shit".

I still use it, just far less, only really for a couple of subreddits that just don't have the same experience here. The mobile app is so shit though that it forces me not to use it on my phone!

What's misleading about it? His inner circle aren't upset? He has an inner hexagon rather than a circle?

You should see the threads where the huxbear and lemmygrad users get going!

Does the police not have an independent body that reviews any time the police use their firearms? Surely it should be an automatic suspension, regardless of the reason. How does the US seem to have such a big police problem?

It's blowing my mind that you don't know what brb means.

I fear you'll be waiting a long time.

Imagine miraculously surviving the plane crash only to get twatted by a crate full of dildos from the cargo vehicle.

But they may not know the history of it or why it was made before joining. I certainly didn't, it was more about a decentralised alternative to Reddit, I just joined and explored.

How do they even capture this stuff? Are you expected to write some essays before you can buy the car?

I use Sync but I haven't paid for it. I turned off all the options in the cookie banner so all I see is a grey box where ads would be and you quickly just don't even see it after a lot of use.

If it were a one off payment of like £5 I'd pay it, I bought it for Reddit, but I can't justify the cost.

If you're a really heavy user then it might be worth it but there's so many great alternatives out there then I think it's hard to justify.

The way comments and users are purged from ml would make Stalin proud!

I dunno but it bothers me how much plastic wrapping that fucking thing apparently needs.

How did Penistone not make it on this map?

Or left hand for right-hand drive cars, but yes.

I watch the CarWow channel on YouTube and they review a lot of EV's, and the host struggled with it - it would take him several attempts to get it into drive as he'd swipe up but not all the way so it would never actually engage. I guess in that case a software fix could be applied to make the control more sensitive but it's still fucking stupid to have it there in the first place.

Also for more WTFs, on that same channel, they do these challenges where they drive a bunch of EVs on a route and see which one goes the furthest, which has the closest range to what the manufacture claims it'll do and what happens to the vehicle when it runs out of battery. There was an instance where the Tesla ran out of charge, but they couldn't open the recharging port because the little door is electronic.

Putting the £ sign after the value is in itself mildly infuriating.

I still use Reddit, maybe more in recent times actually. I don't like the platform and the app is a massive pile of wank, but there's more "normal" people there who don't spend every waking moment hating America or going on about Linux. I still use Lemmy nearly every day but it's more morbid curiosity now.

This isn't my experience. I'm way more focused in the morning and then it's all downhill after lunch. By the time it's the evening I have zero motivation to do any code.

The joke isn't the program itself, it's the process of deploying a website to servers.

Driving can be "fun" in any car though. You don't need a sports car to enjoy driving, for some driving is just a fun activity that can still be done safely and within the regulations of the road.

The idea that driving is “fun” is cancer that killed more people than… well, real cancer.

You've literally just made this up.

There's a lot of [Citation needed] tags on a lot of those claims. I'm not denying they exist but it's also a bit of a flimsy source.

I don't know why people can't just write the full words, it's not like it takes any time to write "I guess".

It's the title on the article.

SMS was free when I started using WhatsApp, but MMS wasn't, so I think that was part of why it took off in the UK. You could finally send pictures and videos and have read receipts and typing indicators and group chats. Plus it was instant and reliable where SMS always felt slow and unreliable.

Also it worked on WiFi so you could still use it at home where you might not have had the best phone signal.

It became popular when you had to pay for it. It was a one off fee on iPhone or an annual recurring fee on Android, that's how much people wanted to get away from SMS.

Probably worth noting that BBM was very popular at that time too but it was exclusive to BlackBerry phones so the concept wasn't new, but everyone that started moving to iPhone and Android after blackberry wanted the same messaging experience, and WhatsApp provided that.

I'll never really understand why the north American market didn't make the jump like everyone else did, because WhatsApp provided so much more, it wasn't just about cost of messaging.
