You know in the game Secret Hitler when the board has sufficiently advanced into fascism that it becomes strategic for the liberals to vote fascism and unlock a bullet? Honestly makes me think of that.

Not saying this is what needs to happen. I honestly don't know how americans can do to get out of their quagmire.

I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.

That's a classic reddit moment. There's such a good community on that website, it's tragic that reddit wants to use that against itself.

These kind of protest won't reduce the traffic on the platform though. They might even gain traction and increase it. If it's not linked to reduced ad revenue, I'm afraid it's counter-productive.

Are the US and EU late, or is it a deliberate business decision from EV car manufacturers to aim for bigger and luxury cars because they make more profit?

When we look at the sky, there is a line where there is way more stars than usual. This line goes all the way around the sky. This was called the milky way by the Greeks because it was like a road sparkled with milk drops. At some point, we deduced that we were in a group of stars arranged in a flat disk. Later, we realized that some weird space clouds (nebulae) were much further away than we thought and were actually other huge groups of stars like our own that we named galaxies, still after milk.

There are more details me course. Even along the line in the sky drawn by the milky way, there is one side where there is much more stars and dust than the other. We deduced that we were at the edge of the disk and the bright region was the center of our galaxy. Also, the amount of gas and dust that block certain types of light that teach us that our galaxy has arms.

It seems to have become a habit that most good things about the internet is linked to the EU. I'm really grateful. That being said, I hope that Lemmy can become a collaborative project uniting a lot of devs rather than rely on two people.

About the scandal; as long as their opinions do not influence the platform I don't see them as relevant to Lemmy. If they are illegal, let justice do its work.

I haven't tried Scrinever. What follows is about trying to convert people to Linux, you can safely ignore the comment if you're not interested.

If the will doesn't come from him, he will certainly look for things he doesn't like and that will confort him in staying on Windows.

I'd say keep him informed and let him make his decisions with the information he has.

Of course. And I'll continue to do so as long as advertisement is detrimental to my online experience. If it wastes my time by forcing me to watch an ad before a video, if it distracts me from reading a text because of animations, if it tries to scam or shock me, I'm better off blocking it. I'm not against advertisement as communication that a useful product or service exists, I'm against advertisement abuse and greed.

I'll happily pay for, donate to, or otherwise support services important to me that need and deserve it.

Sometimes, the contents of contracts are illegal even when they are signed. It's apparently not the case here according to the Court, but the question can be worth to ask.

Another possible interpretation I haven't seen in the comments: it's possibly about capitalism under which companies fund school where you learn that it's normal to be a wage slave or something like that?

The important is now ensuring that they stay impartial and resilient even if populists are in power.

Yeah, your teacher seemed to deal in absolutes: "it always happens" or "it will never happen again". I think that events can always happen (again) but they don't have to.

Why wouldn't the friends like it then?

Not everyone has, or keeps their desire for sexual activity

Here's the socially acceptable solution, even in public: you pick it with a handkerchief on your finger.

It's a crossover between two excellent games: The style is from Undertale and the depicted character and environment are from Disco Elysium

Are you american? If so, the "unwieldy and too long" is probably because you're not used to it. I'm not used to letter-size and it seems weirdly short and unnecessarily wide but I know it's because I'm just not used to it.

Honestly, I haven't found anything that can replace Google Maps for route planning with public transportation. I really wish for crowdsourced timetables hosted on OSM...

Sure, but as I said, I don't see any of this as relevant as long as it doesn't affect the platform.

Well the "federated" feed is similar to /r/all, that's a useful feature imo. The local feed has no equivalent because it relies on the concept of instance.

If you have the occasion, try a fresh olive picked from the three. You won't regret it ;)

Reddit's admins are taking decisions based on their worldviews and objectives that affect the content of Reddit, i.e. what we can talk about, what we can do, what tools we can use, what information we can access...

As of my current knowledge, the worldviews of Lemmy's devs (that I certainly don't share) don't affect content on instances that they do not administrate or moderate. Even if they were building and shaping instances around hatespeech (which I don't know they do), I'd simply block them and let the police and justice act on the potential crimes or offence they may do.

It appears that they support the CCP and deny the Uyghur genocide.

Is this… Rayman?

It's actually a very reasonable behavior if cars were normal predators: wait for the last moment before jumping out of the way so that the predator has to do a 180° and you've already left.

Does anyone know the artist?

In Belgium & Netherlands, we have an alternative called Bol. I use it, but I wonder how much more ethical it is in the end.

If it's the input the problem, I use KDE connect to use my phone as a remote control. You can use the gyroscope in your phone to point to the screen like a Wii controller.

Sorry about the ambiguity. At least one of the main devs of Lemmy.

Well, depends what you call a hole. Does a glass have a hole? Does a bottle have a hole?

If you said no to both, you mean a topological hole and a straw has one.

If you said yes to one or both of them, you mean a tight opening in which someting can be inserted (yes yes, innuendo). How tight an opening must be to be a hole is arbitrary and subjective, it depends on the person. In this case a straw has two holes.

Two solutions that I see:

1. Mods and/or admins need to be notified when a post has a lot of upvotes from accounts on the same instance.
2. Generalize whitelists and requests to federate from new instances.

I've not used it yet, but I plan to try photoprism at some point.

E: ah, just saw your edit about self host, sorry.

What's the marketing meaning? I only know about the psychological effect of feeling anxious when disconnected or not taking part to an event.

Chat is written like "cat" but is pronounced like in english. The animal is pronounced like "shah".

What does the bot do?

In french, we call this "useful vote" and it sucks when it is a crucial strategy... but in a flawed electoral system it unfortunately is.

The Walloon language! The historical and almost extinct language of the region I've been living in for some time but from which I don't really have ancestry (more from the other region of the country).

The language has a really bad reputation (it's supposedly rude, so different from city to city that it's useless to communicate, etc.) Almost nobody is left speaking it and the overwhelming majority thinks its good thing.

It's fascinating, there's a small group of people trying to standardize it. There's some drama because the other promoters of the language are academics who want to preserve the local varieties, the opposite to standardization.

You weren't kidding!

Yes they did. The Beehaw instance has stopped listening to lemmy.world (and others), while lemmy.world still listens to Beehaw.

The Beehaw admins only want highly moderated content on their server and said they weren't able to moderate everything coming from large open instances.
