Still unexpected. And that's the problem.

In msn messenger emoticons were what emojis are today. So to me emoticons and emojis are the same... i dont what to call the things op refers to... maybe ASCII emoticons?
Edit: turns out im wrong https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon
Edit: sort of wrong... emojis are also officially called emoticons
No. The way Reddit works is that you care about the content, not the people posting it.
Mastodon must have a bigger problem with that (impersonation), but I don't know if/how they solved it
This is the way i see the situation:
Letting meta join the fediverse means they will captivate the general audience and the fediverse will stop growing. Realizing this, it could lead a lot of contributors to the lemmy/mastodon/activitypub projects lose interest, which will slow down development and could eventually lead to the death of the fediverse project.
This is how it goes:
People get accustomed to all the content from Meta/Threads
Meta adds extra features to their website which do not work with other fediverse instances
People switch from lemmy/mastodon to threads or join threads directly and never ever consider joining the real fediverse.
The fediverse project either dies down or remains a niche project forever.
As long as it's sex work im fine. It's just that most "sex workerks" (people on onlyfans) do not sell "sex"/porn but a virtual sexual/intimate relationship to easily exploitable, lonely people. Which is just sad.
Another feature I'd like to see is instance admins proposing multi-communities, as in: multi-communities which pop up in the search results and allow you to subscribe to all the the communities grouped together with one click/touch. This way the problem of community fragmentation across multiple instances (e.g. multiple instances having a a "memes" community) would be solved (or mitigated at least).
So assuming you disable all the optional telemetry in the settings, you should be good right?
Same lol
Land is a very scarce resource, not well suited for the free market. Also i find it "funny" that at least in my country paying a mortgage is actually cheaper than paying rent. It's just that banks have very strict requirements for financing people and so the problem is not that you can't afford the mortgage with your job income, but that you lack the initial capital to invest. Which feels honestly unjust and allows wealthy people to purchase all land and set whatever prices they want.
The barrier to entry for the market is too hig. Thus It's a market that's way too prone to monopolies and needs a strong regulation.
Also. Take the exact same apartment in the city center and take another one in a remote place. The rent for second one will be a lot cheaper even though the value of the materials of the building is the same, the costs of building up the apartment are the same etc. So called essential workers, who work near the city centre will not be able to afford an apartment close to where they work and will have to sustain additional costs for commuting, increasing their burden on society (infrastructure) and the environment, which is inefficient. And they will have a lower standard of life. This is shittier for everyone but the landlords.
I think he does know what a firmware. Just didnt't realize the origin of the term.
A firmware is neither soft nor hard... it's firm.

LMAOOO
that's very little politics, they're banning one single political ideology. And fascism is an ideology that's fundamentally incompatible with the concept of human rights, whose need of respect in the 21st century should be taken for granted and shouldn't be a political question, i.e. a question which is answered in the political discourse, at all. So yeah, little politics. Fascism = bad, should be universally recognized as true. Nationalism per se not necessarily bad, but palingenetic ultranationalism, which is definition of fascism I'm using, definitely.
edit: hi lemmy, first post here
this is buggy. Pardon the nsfw, but it doesn't work for gonewild@lemmynsfw .com
Theres also jak and daxter, i believe it was called openGOAL?
Old video, still relevant

For example, there is a hard coded slur filter in the lemmy code that removes words such as the n-word and similar racial slurs. Personally I think this is perfectly fine and anyone opposed to such a filter is a child, but Free speech absolutists and libertarians among you probably find such a detail abhorrent. I suggest you simply find other software, or go back to r*ddit.
There WAS a hard coded slur filter in the lemmy code that removed words such as the n-word and similar racial slurs. It's gone now. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622
As per the "communist devs":
This issue was completed a long time ago, the slur filter is entirely optional, you can add one using the config: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html
EDIT and so your point "Software reflects the beliefs of its creators;" is supported - in the case of lemmy - by literally nothing.
I fully agree. On reddit i would use the all frontpage to find new communities. Here it doesnt work.
As paradoxical as it is, I think that these open source non-profit projects are a lot more efficient than profit-driven, debt-fueled corporations.
First of all, the main contributors to a FOSS project do it for passion and do not take a salary.
Secondly, they don't have the infinite growth mindset that pushes enterpreneurs to to spend as much as possible for maximum growth, all financed by a growing amount of investors (and debt, which costs interest fees).
If a FOSS project reaches maximum capacity, they will close subscriptions, they will throttle traffic, i.e. they will slow down growth, but they will not go into debt. Slowing down growth is something that a for-profit company would never do (at least until the interest rates were low and the investors were plenty, today idk). Eventually someone else in the community will decide to do a generous donation or open their own instance.
c/pokemon shouldn't be here then
It's either fediverse or nostr. But nostr is more twitter-like than reddit-like and is filled with cryptobros so no thanks no
Question: did you read the article linked? If the answer is yes and the comment still reflects your opinion, please leave
Edit: thought i was under a different post 🙄
AFAIK european laws only allow to patent "inventions". Software is considered to be a series of "words" in whatever programming language you're using and, like sentences, it's not an invention and can't be patented.
On the other hand, software-assisted inventions can be patented as a whole.
With that said, software can still be considered a "work" protected by copyright laws.
