I'll be frank, most of these ideas are childish and will result in mod removal quicker than you can say "malicious compliance". Just keep the blackout, or maybe make posts require mod approval and set the automod reply message.

Very interesting, tl;dr it's a grant worth between €5k-€50k. I'm glad the EU is investing in online privacy and trust (in their words).

What an odd way to initially phrase it. Saying "underage-looking nsfw" is such an underhanded wording that it makes me feel like they were trying to stir up a shitstorm against their own userbase. The followup is way better "we're allowing weebs, no loli, some of you might still think it looks underage but we're leaving it at the mods' discretion". But the damage is already done.

TempleOS - a very gifted individual made his own OS from scratch by himself but was thwarted by his own schizophrenia and delusions of persecusion. He was also incredibly racist. Ultimately though it's very sad story seeing him lose his grip on reality thinking government agencies were after him and he was a prophet doing God's work. It's a decade long saga, he ended up homeless for a long while and died a few years ago.

John McAffee - talking about delusional tech guys, this one takes it to the highest level. This guy travelled the world running from the u.s. govt for tax evasion, won a game of russian roulette through quantum immortality (debatable), killed his neighbor for poisoning his dog(allegedly), and was an avid crypto enthusiast. He was found dead in a spanish prison right before he could be brought back to his homeland. It was declared a suicide but many people don't believe that.

my guess is that they were working on it in the background and when musk bought tw they started pouring way more resources into it and turned it into a standalone app

you’re blaming the medium

I don't think that's implied in the post. Also reddit inc is complicit in the bot farming since it boosts their engagement metrics.

A few points:

-I feel like even this short guide is overcomplicating it for 90% of potential users. Just add a tl;dr at the start about checking out the relevant settings (top bar, notifications), subscribing to magazines, and navigating to the "subscribed" feed. Like, if I want a hot shower I don't need to know where the water comes from or how pressure is determined by the bermoulli formula, just say what do I press to get the water to come out hot.

-Explain that collapsible comments are coming and there's a userscript for people who are into that.

-I don't think that this separation of tiers is efficient for anyone. Like, if I want to know how to see the local feed is that lurker or addict.

-I think it's overcomplicating threads and microblogs. Yeah, I didn't know there was a difference between replies and comments but it's never been relevant for me this past month. One is like reddit and is compatible with lemmy, the other is like twitter and lets you talk to mastodon users (and misskey, and calckey,...).

-On that note, some people get overly confused with the concept of federation (in part because people usually overcomplicate it when explaining), and this problem is compounded on a platform that also interacts with instances from other platforms. You can just keep it simple and say "you have an account on a website which has its own content. There are others that look exactly the same with different users and content, but you have access* to all of that too".
*unless admins decide to defederate specifically from your website, like what beehaw did.

Ironic that I said to keep things short and then wrote a huge comment.

As others have said, isopropyl alcohol works great to remove adhesive residue. Just don't use it with certain plastics.

I always unlock these, if only to visualize taps. USB debugging is also cool because of scrcpy, a program that allows you to see and control your phone from your pc.

yup, this hits the nail on the head for me. I consider myself very tech literate; I am my family's IT guy. I even have Mint installed in a separate drive but I seldom use it unless I have nothing else to do for an afternoon. And the reason is that the more I know about windows (be it editing the registry, troubleshooting services, learning diagnostics tools...) the less comparatively capable I feel in a linux environment. It's like moving countries after I spent my whole life learning this city and I could't even speak my native language anymore. Yeah I know it works out of the box and there's wine and I can make my UX the same. But, going back to my metaphor, that feels like moving to a different country and just not leaving my house and only talking to the people I knew back home. Yeah it would be the same if I severely constrict my comfort zone. You just have to learn a bunch of new shit and leave all you know behind and that's just one distro. Because YEAH linux isn't an OS it's a whole family of operating systems. The nerd yelling that it's a kernel is right in the worst way possible. I can learn Mint but I can form an opinion on Linux because I still wouldn't know shit about Arch or Fedora or Gentoo or what-have-you. It's all very daunting and what I have is functional. No, not "functional enough". This does literally everything I want in less than 4 clicks, everything is plug-and-play, everything works out of the box (and if it doesn't you're sure as shit it wouldn't work out of the box on linux), my knowledge on windows is applicable on every machine I find, it's the system everyone expects me to have (I'm fucking sure the software my uni made me install for online tests wouldn't have a Linux installer). It's not just that the path of least resistance points to mac/windows, Linux as a whole also has very potent repelling field. I still want to learn it but not because I see any practical value/utility in it.

There's not one specific game but every year I revisit at least one game from my childhood. Crash team racing, tony hawk 4, resident evil 4, metal gear solid 3, crash twinsanity, guitar hero 3, cold winter, medal of honor vanguard. I'm thinking of revisiting croc, mercenaries 2, prince of persia, or marvel ultimate alliance this year.

Going from playing space impact on my nokia to having my next phone reproduce a gif recieved by bluetooth.
Also Wi-Fi.

Yup, just a friendly reminder highlighting alternatives (fedi or otherwise) would suffice. Which can be done through a pinned reply by automoderator.
Ruining user's experience yourself just makes them hate you specifically. Kind of how titanfall players hate the DDOS attackers more than EA now.

Yeah, and I'm not a actually Alpha, the android protagonist from critically-acclaimed and cult classic iyashikei manga Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, either. Sorry, guys.

I'm more of a mergers&acquisitions type of guy

I used to use tusky when I made my account way back and I remember that being good. After returning this year I decided to buy fedilab and it's very good.

I say 'spez', as an adjective, should denote a level of degradation similar to that of a cum box with live fungi growing out of it.

I miss LineageOS. My current nokia has next to no scene. The thing I miss the most is holding the volume keys as prev/fwd buttons.

Hi! How are you liking it here, find any real interesting communities yet?

Definitely look at @newcommunities
idk how to link lol
Edit: https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

My username is usually available everywhere and I'm content with it, but I'm happy for you guys

Just reply to one and tag the rest at the end of your comment like a CC

The pixelfed dev said thy were working on an app so that's what I'm waiting for.

I would draw the iconic S on the ground.

It's not even about morality. It's a dumb law that doesn't protect users most at risk—even if enforced—while making it incredibly convoluted and awkward for everyone else.

On second thought, that second part was probably the point.

Only lemmy communities. Seems to rank according to number of comments.

https://kbin.social/magazines
All magazines from this particular instance.

What I did was just browsing threads from "all" and subscribing to magazines from there (and also blocking others).
