Yes, because then we won’t have to read questions like this (from you) anymore.
(More seriously, no one can tell you what to do. I don’t regularly use any public chatrooms anymore because I have better things to do with my time nowadays, but I pretty much grew up on IRC, so I can’t give any advice to a stranger.)
How long is a piece of string? Depends entirely on the specific case. For example, if you’re murdered in front of witnesses, the answer will be very different than if you simply disappear mysteriously without anyone finding your body.
I’ve always read it as “shit just works”. Why would the “sh” be there if we weren’t supposed to read it?
Works for me, no idea what you’re seeing or talking about
Why was it previously allowed, one may ask.
yes, bullet points would have been even better, but this is ok
please learn to format lemmy posts correctly, no one can read that
Only when someone else (usually online) talks about that concept, not otherwise.
Mike Masnick is usually right about most things, but in this case section 230 is just the wrong defense to use. That really is meant for hosting providers, not software providers. Doesn’t mean they will be held liable, or should be, but it has nothing to do with section 230 as I understand it.
I normally only look at communities I am subscribed to and am not subscribed to places where such things are usually posted. You could try that too.
In general I dislike communities with concepts like “pics”, “comics”, “memes”, etc., I don’t want to see just any pics or comics, I want to see ones I might find interesting. Lemmy is unfortunately not yet a big enough place that it has specialized communities for everything.
By volume, usually I stop pouring milk when it covers approximately 4/5 of the cereal. That makes it so when I put my spoon in it, the cereal at the very top will also absorb some milk.
I switched to “new comments” and don’t want to go back to anything else. It has only advantages in my mind:
One disadvantage is that occasionally I get several-month-old (or even year-old) threads at the top of my feed if someone has the brilliant idea to post in them. Doesn’t happen very much though.
That definitely sounds like a problem. I am not familiar enough with WordPress, is that store not FOSS or are the plugins not or what is going on?
The point of free software is that it doesn’t have owners and you (individually or collectively) can just create an “alternative” yourself by forking it if you disagree with anything its maintainers do.
nah that’s when my parents were born and their lives don’t seem that awesome tbh
Ten years earlier, i.e. mid-1980s. I would have been a young adult when the Internet was starting to be awesome, instead I was a preteen or early teen.
As for location, the US would be nice tbh.
If I ever manage to earn ~3000 euros (my current net salary) a month from just investments and interest, I will definitely consider myself rich. There may still be richer people than me even in that scenario, which is why I wrote that “rich” is a relative descriptor.
Of course, rich is a relative descriptor, like tall or heavy, some people are richer than others.
I would call anyone who doesn’t need to work in order to live (i.e. who can live off investments and interest) rich.
You mostly understood it right.
I think of Mastodon/Twitter as essentially server-side RSS readers: you follow the sources you want to read, then are notified when they are posting something. If you don’t already have any followers, there is little point in posting anything there. The forum-like structure of Lemmy is a lot more suited for ordinary people to discuss topics they are interested in.
Mix of both. Messengers, Mastodon and YouTube, mostly apps (except when I want to listen to YT in the background). Maps and games, also apps. But for Lemmy I use the web frontend because I haven’t yet found a convincing app and the web frontend is good enough.
