No it’s not. The original coined saying is, “The customer is always right.” “In matters of taste” was added much later to try to temper the idiocy, and has never really widely caught on.

Glee. It started out as a parody of musicals and high school dramas in Season 1. Then went on to be a musical high school drama for the rest of the show.

The Simpsons started out as a parody of sitcoms and has since become the longest running sitcom.

The 1960s Batman was a campy satire of comics and itself influenced comic adaptations for decades after.

Then set up your own instance with no bots, and defederate with any instance that uses bots.

It appears that most people here don’t agree. I have the one repost bot blocked because it was just filling up TIL, but otherwise I don’t personally care as long ad they’re not intrusive.

Talk to your doctor before stopping it. This study is specifically for primary prevention, and you may be on it for secondary prevention or treatment, which are completely different things.

Good for them?

Not to mention it’s a made up rule that doesn’t apply to literally any other acronym (radar, sonar, NASA, NATO, scuba, etc.)

Specifically natural selection. Sexual selection is also a type survival of the fittest, but its fitness in attracting mates and assuring survival of offspring, regardless of how well this adapts to the environment. And artificial selection grants survival to the traits the selector wants, again not necessarily favoring environmental adaptations.

The quote attributed to Stallman is made up and is a distortion of his actual views.

He created GNU as an operating system. His position is that when talking about the GNU OS, it is appropriate to call it GNU/linux if it’s running the linux kernel, though he is also fine with calling it GNU.

I once met a contortionist who could twist any thread to talk about their pet topic, no matter how asinine it was. Talk about entitled!

Not in my area. Stores have both regular self-checkout lanes and express (<15 item) self-checkout lanes.

NFL contracts out to several different network/cable and streaming services, so you have to subscribe to several to get all the games legally. A digital antenna and NFL+ are probably your best bet to get the vast majority of games without a full tv package.

Here’s the full list.

I use reddit on desktop and lemmy on mobile. Life is about choice.

The House of God

Or you can just block them.

The official reddit app keeps crashing on my phone and I don’t like Narwhal so Lemmy has actually been pretty nice. And I like being able to hide posts so I’m not just seeing the same posts on my feed over and over.

Beautiful post format.

And 97% on RT so far? Added to my Trakt queue.

I’m currently subscribed to duplicate communities, which works well except for the crossposts being a little annoying.

So it looks like your old linux headers are causing dependency issues that are preventing upgrades. The dist-upgrade will delete the conflicting packages and update the dependencies. You should be good after that.

Lemmy Film actually just started a discussion on whether to make a community specifically for new release threads:

That’s ultimately going to depend on both the laws where the crime happens and the laws where the server is located. In general, they’re usually safe if they remove the offending material as soon as they’re aware and cooperate with authorities.

For example, if an instance breaks a law in Europe but happens to be hosted in a country in Asia that hates Europe and refuses to cooperate with any European authorities, they’re probably fine as long as they don’t piss off their own government.
