SQL when pronounced as sequel. Squall or even squirrel would have been nicer imo

oh cool. my dislike for it was out of ignorance as often the case. thanks for letting me know

it might be unfair to ask as this is just based on your username but:

do they resent you for taking smoke breaks?

do they know you're a furry?

Also occasionally PICNIC for problem in chair, not in computer.

dual-voting (“I downvoted because I don’t like it but I upvoted it because you are absolutely right about it")

This is the most interesting take i have seen on the matter. it's not a score out of five, why shouldn't you up and down vote the same post?

you make an objectionable but very interesting point?

you are essentially right but you are belligerent and can't spell?

upvote and downvote.

For one, you can say fuck on the internet, and for two, who are you to give out such ridiculous orders?

there's a comment from a few months ago with a torrent, the date inside is july 2022 so will be missing anything newer: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5089994

Get raised catholic, turn out gay. What's to make sense of? Lots of religious followers cherry pick the bits of text they like and disregard the rest, why should gays be any more rational?

it's a reasonable reply, fair play to you

In MakeMKV preferences, Integration tab, VLC should be listed there

my wife and I closed on a deal for an apartment in a hilltop town in Umbria

Yes, it's true! I bought a hilltop village home

wild-boar ragù, anyone?

please spare a bomb for this hilltop

piefed is already extremely redditty maintaining behind-the-scenes 'karma' and 'attitude' for users whether they signed up for it or not. why shouldn't this info be public instead of in the hands of admins only?

it had a few hardcore fans, a quick search for RT9450 shows people still trying to get that to work up to about 2020

honestly i wouldn't mind having another scroll wheel/bar on the keyboard somewhere, in the middle above the function keys might be cool

also fyi that link can be tidied to https://www.ebay.com/itm/363221421164

had this on the wishlist, but i won't support all this day one dlc and season pass bullshit

no idea, comes from ofcom but i gave up looking

non-English countries

Pedantic point but of the major English QWERTY layouts, US has two Alts, UK has AltGr on the right

counter balanced

once it's eaten all the reddit posts it will eat yet more new & improved reddit posts

it isn't that misused buzzword but i don't see how it's rent seeking either

the author almost certainly has more experience in managing online communities than me (i have none) but it seems counterintuitive to see a dumb take, downvote and bother to leave an argumentative reply rather than just downvote and scroll past. downvotes in this case would defuse potential arguments rather than start them, but i'll defer to the author and assume that's not what happens

it seems from a very brief search that likes and dislikes (see link below, i assume they translate to up and down votes) are the extent of what is available so a more nuanced slashdot or steam review type rating is unlikely to be viable.

in any case the ability to upvote and downvote feels like a core differentiating feature to this kind of forum and inbetween measures are unsatisfactory. upvote and downvote anything you like, and everyone can see you doing so, would be an improvement imo on the current implementation.

at least it may be possible in a future version to allow or disallow voting behaviours on a community rather than instance basis?

the vote history of your lemmy account is visible

vs

your real name and address are exposed

how the fuck are these things similar

You mentioned accountability

not really. but yes i believe your online profile, as vague as that term is, can and should remain distinct from your irl personal info. what your account has up or down voted on activitypub is a far cry from being personal info

(edited for clarity)

For legal reasons this is a joke

no other reasons apply

Do you have to pay for it or deposit it in the lock? In the UK it's common in all supermarkets that they need a refundable pound coin to unlock, so many people have a 'trolley token' keyring with a detachable part to use just for that

sure thing boss

it's a bit slippery slopey but yes i suppose so. if your downvoting sprees amount to being abusive as the admins or mods define it then on their terms your account should be banned, ip banned, whatever. i don't think there's any voting based behaviour that gets you in irl trouble, obviously posts inciting violence, sending credible threats or other behaviour that gets you noticed by your regional authorities is another kettle of fish, but none of that seems relevant to up/downvotes being visible

why would you delete your comment, then make a new account and use it to post the same comment?

that's kind of the point, other instances are already aggregating and rating your votes given and received, why shouldn't lemmy show this to you?

the illusion of privacy

i am from the post usenet and pre facebook internet generation (i hope that is vague enough) so using my real name on the internet or signing up for accounts with my real name email acount is strictly verboten by indoctrination, so my opinion may be out of date or invalid somehow, but i can not see how your lemmy account's up or down voting history violates privacy in any meaningful way

lemmy and mbin show line breaks differently, in the same browser the line break is present on fedia.io and absent on lemm.ee

maybe so from a first world perspective, not that they've been idle in developing nations. but plenty of governments don't need the pope's say so to criminalise non-heterosexuality

obviously the word was meant to be acting, why act retardant about it
