Oh shit turn on CNN, a plane just flew onto one of the twin towers!

.... What? Wait, we're not quoting old posts? I dunno man, I know this is a huge "works on my machine", but I really haven't seen Firefox be a problem on any machine in at least, hard minimum, half a decade.

I mean, good advice if it's for someone who's prone to build codependent relationships. Which still, no one but a professional therapist should be diagnosing.

I mean, recently? "Just use the official app, it's the same thing", lmao.

But overall, the worst of all time was someone telling me how to cope with a lack of friends by suggesting some stupid, isolating hobbies.

Wait... I've heard about that feature set before. Is this old news, or is this a release date announcement?

Actually....

There is no purple light.

Kinda.

Video explaining it in detail: https://youtu.be/CoLQF3cfxv0

Several colors we can perceive only exist as a specific mixture of wavelengths. And purple (coincidentally for this thread) is one such - white light contains it, sure, but, you can't isolate it to a specific single band, like you can isolate cyan or yellow. So, no, rainbows can not have purple in them.

Aside from the "not searchable from the outside" thing, another HUGE point against it is no branching comment threads. It's all classic style quoting.

Plus, at least from the perspective of actual personal discord usage (as opposed to "official community" usage), the fact forums are not available unless if a discord server has a permanent open invite link on their server list and more than a certain amount of people gives the whole forum thing a bad taste. We just want to organize some stuff internally without opening up to people we don't know where they came from. But you can't even Boost to get access to the feature. We're active enough thay we're always getting access to new features months early compared to other servers, just not the stuff that's meant for schools and company "owned" servers I guess.

Plus, I've seen communities try this during the blackout. I didn't see the outcome for other communities, but on/r/Dota2 at least, people despised the suggestion because the discord already had an establish culture and that culture was basically shit.

So you were told to go take your activity and do it in a place of a different format, with different levels of topic focus, on a more personal level, in a place where you're basically an outsider butting in and the people there don't even really share an interest in discussing what you want (which was at the time a big tournament).

That's an astronomically terrible idea. And the worst part, not just did we have THIS website, we also had other forums (even the steam forum). I dunno what reddit mods have to be smoking to willfully ignore those in favor of a chatroom.

Weirdly placed comment, but I do think these platforms need the advertising, so do continue to spread the word

Yeah, amidst all the posts about Threads, the most insightful articles I saw were the ones stating just how dogshit the actual user experience was. And that experience is just "get users to see more ads among the regular content.

It's like, people don't even care what they join. They just care that it has the POTENTIAL to be the NEXT BIG THING, so they need to be on ground zero. All for the show off, zero to do with the specifics of the platform.

Insightful in the sense that it adequately matched the reception shit like NFT powered user spaces got, with investors thinking Blockchain wass the Next Big Thing. It's all theatrics.

Yes and No.

Smaller communities with no equivalent, I'm there and still active. Technology, memes and world news, I'm here. But I'm also on other sites more again.

No, you se-

Almost

Yes.

Yes they are.

Stay away from them on the whole, don't even bother discovering games through lists of mobile titles. Disregard any list that shows games that were not made mobile-first as a counter-example, those miss the point of the question.

Nah so far so good. But I haven't seen any topic warranting it. Well, not that warranting or not was the reason for it on Reddit, some people are just out to shittalk.

I'm okay with Alemmynum, I'm pretty low cost.

No. Birth rate has to overcome the collective mortality rate of every year since the first human.

I don't know which way is it trending tho.

Also I can't imagine Apple going full wireless

I can. They'll just figure out some sort of clamping accessory for their wireless chargers.

Yeah, Active and Hot are really good now at mixing new and active content, but when we had less activity or when something big is happening, things tend to get stuck there, and I basically end up having to scroll more than I should.

Top 6/12 hours is the best if I just wanna see what's actually trending for the day and move on.

I did do two 8 hour flights recently.

Even with a USB port on the chair, the switch just doesn't hold that kind of charge, plus I got bored anyways and slept half of each.

Either you're ALREADY binging a game, or I recommend getting some other lower consumption alternative. I had a much better time just playing older games on my Anbernic 353p.

It's a response to the OP of the locked thread, which I doubt was locked by said user. I want my comment to be public, specially since it pertains the whole community in that local polls would service everyone, so the placement of my response (as well as me sending it in a dm to the OP) is fitting.

And respectfully, that's also wrong. Every single user has the power to make a feature request. There is zero technical knowledge required to do it, and also, moderators are actually in a better position to do so, as, if they do one, they get to represent the community they manage.

I would like to concur, namely because we know the exact context and exact intent of the actual, exact place the popularization of the term stemmed from: Yatzhee from Zero Punctuation. And the author did not in any way whatsoever expected it to be taken seriously, or with any derogatory connotation for those within or without (in thay the introductory joke was highlighting a better positioning of PC on a matter while also lampshading the PC's community fragile ego).

To change the name would be to say none of the context matters. It would be to willfully ignore the way it was made and the way it was used. No, that doesn't matter, "only that other meaning, and interpretation matters".

And you know what.

No it doesn't.

Nazis don't matter. Nazis should have zero cultural influence. Zero tokenism.

Let's treat them the way they deserve to be treated. They don't matter, and they have no say and no power. Fuck off, we're keeping it. It's our now. You get NOTHING.

I wanted to comment this on the why-google thread, but that was locked, so I'll post it here:

"What you should be doing is converting this light complaint into an hard feature request: Let Lemmy posts include polls. I don't doubt more would feel polls are a useful thing to have, and Lemmy is already very big on making things optional per instance and per community, so there's an answer to those who may dislike them.

Also, give those polls some control, like, allow only users who subbed for X time, who belong to the local instance, and stuff like that."
