To be honest, I don't even know what instance I'm looking at most of the time. My app doesn't show the instance name, only the community name, and the community names are often all identical across instances.

I wasn't talking about markdown language. I was talking about the end user experience. In my email client for example, I can write a single line break and it is formatted as such. The end user shouldn't have to know/worry/care about the underlying technology; the technology should work to meet their needs.

Thank you for the explanation. Good to know single line breaks are possible. However, other web services allow the user to use a single line break and it's displayed in the same way. While you give a good technical reason why it is this way, I'm not convinced it's the most user friendly approach.

It could be added in the community info, just under the name of the community.

For example:

Just to put this into context for some people:

The UK’s biggest energy supplier reported profits of £969m for the first six months of 2023, up nearly 900% from £98m in the same period last year.

Profits up nearly 900%. Fucking disgusting.

Perhaps it’s an issue with Lemmy.world It's exactly that. See: https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io/

Whoops, my math was off there. You're right.

Funny you should mention teachers but a very recent report says that a quarter of teachers have had allegations made against them, and 10% have been subjected to a formal disciplinary process during their career. Source: https://www.tes.com/magazine/news/general/teacher-allegations-parents-pupils

There's no uproar because the majority of allegations are just that. Allegations. While I have no doubt there are bad people in all walks of life, I do not believe most allegations hold weight. In both policing and teaching there is a power balance that works to and against each party's advantage. Making allegations against a person in a position of power is a strong weapon (though, yes, on the flip side, taking advantage of being in a position of power is also something people can do).

Potentially unpopular opinion here, but isn't 750 in five years across two countries fairly small? It's around 16 cases per year per country. Also note these are allegations.

I think it's incredibly unfair to say that police forces are magnets for male rapists (without going into the fact the statistics are about sexual misconduct and not rape). The overwhelming majority of male police officers are good people, trying to help and make a living. This kind of commentary is disrespectful and damaging to men.

I shouldn't have to mention that I do not support sexual violence against any person, but I'm saying it anyway for clarity.

Cause of death hasn't been given, but I have a sad feeling I know what it is :/

What a terrible headline. Tell me what the experts thought. I don't want to see this kind of clickbait here. Change the title yourself if necessary, just don't let this kind of shit slide.

Kekkonen of Finland, if you stretch the definition of dictator a bit.

I think the main reason people haven't been using these services is because they're organised by the church. People will assume you have to be religious or a church goer to attend, or that the help received will be "let Jesus into your life", etc.

Thank you for your help. I hope a feature is added when you're logged in that clearly says something along the lines of "this instance has blocked your instance and your posts will not be seen". Having to navigate to another website and search to find this information cannot be the best way of doing it!

In places that don't have EV chargers currently, will it be the state's responsibility to install them?

On Finland's highways highlighted on the ball in that article, there are a lot of existing gas stations that have EV chargers. But there can easily be more than a 60km gap, especially the further north you go. Is it down to the state, local municipality, or EU to fund it?

Furthermore, if a commercial provider, like a gas station shuts down, would some authority be required to at least keep the EV chargers running?

How is the 60km distance calculated? From existing EV chargers? If a gas station closes, the measuring point to/from the next/previous EV charger will change.

I can't imagine the state will want to install EV chargers every 60km in addition to the ones already provided by commercial enterprises such as gas stations. Will they be required to?

...his boss immediately told a female employee without his consent. The man eventually had to leave the job due to mental issues that resulted from being ignored by the woman.

I wonder what her problem was. Homophobic or just heavily uncomfortable because of societal norms and standards?

Look at communities you're interested in?

Working alone to beat competition is common. Thoughts?
