Well I didn't want to have a bio, but Lemmy doesn't let me null it out, so

I don't see how this meme would be better with an audio cable that doesn't have a separate physical signal path for left and right channels. The Van Gogh panel wouldn't make any sense.

What you've described is exactly how it's supposed to work. Once a user has subscribed to an external community from your instance, it should load immediately for any users afterwards.

That was my immediate thought as well. Like they have fogging glass, but nasty ass toilets with optional toilet seat?

That would require Musk to either be intelligent or willing to listen to people who are and I'm unconvinced he's either.

Absolutely, and by that point they've released new content and side quests in the Cum Box update.

My problem with the test is that I'm not sure it's really testing what it purports to be testing. It says that it's testing your ability to discern misinformation from looking at titles, but I think what it's really testing is your ability to differentiate human written titles and AI generated titles. AI generated titles could be truthful and human written titles could be utter bullshit and without checking the credibility of the source or reading the article, you're not necessarily going to know which is which unless you already know something about the topic.

That said this is an interesting experiment that I predict will not have the same results when LLMs become more advanced.

There's also nothing that says you have to actually spike your hawk up every day for work. As you noted, there are plenty of practical reasons not to when you're working. Most people I've known with substantial hawks only spiked it up in their free time. One guy I knew only did it when he was going to concerts.

I agree, and I think categorizing generations is always going to be messy. But I think the Oregon Trail Generation/Xennials just seems to be more distinct than most other micro generations. I'm pretty much in the middle of the commonly accepted millennial age bracket and would still consider myself more of a Xennial based off the broad characteristics that have been described, despite falling outside that rough '86 cutoff by a couple years. I know part of it is probably due to how much Millennials get shat on, but it feels like the "Millennial Generation" is an especially weird generation where half the people that are supposedly in it don't feel like they belong with the other half and many resent the label. To me, the Millennials born after '90 seem quite distinct from those born before '87 and I feel like I'm in the middle and identify more with the Xennials. I'm no sociologist, though, this is just my limited subjective experience.

Ultra also has a lifetime option now.

Just going off the 10+ year history we had with this developer on Reddit, he has operated in good faith thus far and added features to Pro without charging for it, so I don't think he'll do that. But who knows. You're buying today with no future guarantees. At least this time we know there's no central organization that can pull the rug out from under Lemmy.

Millennials are a strange generation because I feel like elder millennials and younger millennials are kind of divided by whether they remember a time before the Internet went mainstream or not.

To your point, another dividing line for Millennials and Gen Z is that Gen Z kids' first phone was probably a smart phone and they probably got theirs a couple years younger on average than millennials.

I clearly don't think it is a stretch to say they have many compatible viewpoints, but I was opening this article expecting to see some kind of direct dealing between the two, not that the two hired the same web developer. This article is a bit sensationalist when there are plenty of legitimate reasons to hate both individuals.

This is the "scene kid" aesthetic that was popular in the mid aughts. They barely made the millennial cutoff as far as I'm concerned and they're not very representative of our generation as a whole.

I don't really know the best way to deal with that on the server API side, but I don't think it's to return them all as separate posts in the main feed. This is a problem that could clearly get much worse before it gets better because it could make the All/New feed really painful to read.

No worries! The Fediverse is a different world with unfamiliar terminology and we've all been there.

I think maybe you are confusing instances with communities? Instances are the servers you sign up your account on like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml whereas communities like asklemmy are hosted on an instance. I think there's universal agreement that growing communities is generally a good thing because it leads to more content and discussion. Growing instances on the other hand isn't super important (indeed there are going to be plenty of people like myself that are going to stick with a single user personal instance and be perfectly happy). I think the person you're replying to was confused by the wording of your post.

Maybe I'm just not seeing it here, but how is continuing to sell these shoes not reinforcing Kanye's brand? I understand they're donating some revenue to a good cause, but the article also makes it sound like Adidas is still making a healthy profit off these shoes. This just reeks of corporate pandering and virtue signaling. If Adidas really wanted to make a difference, they could take what they need to cover their costs and donate substantially more than that $10 million.

Why not? Plasma is much more usable out of the box for many users including myself. GNOME's out of the box experience is really lacking IMHO and requires me to install and configure several extensions just to get what I consider to be a functional UI. I know they have this vision for how they want people to use their OS, but that vision is not aligned with how I actually want to use it. The best way distros can vote against the design choices of GNOME is by making something else the default. The problem I have is that I generally prefer GNOME's app suite to KDE's, so that makes the decision a bit more complicated for me.

I feel like this should only be a problem when users don't make use of the crosspost functionality built into Lemmy (which ultimately should only be a technical problem that Lemmy clients need to address at the time of post creation). Aside from appropriate options in a client that should allow you to crosspost to multiple communities at once, I feel like this is a server side issue more than a client side one because the server shouldn't be returning duplicates like this if posts are appropriately crossposted IMHO.

I know some creators that are moving to Substack and it really seems like a good way forward for certain content. I can't blame folks for leaving, I'd be pissed if a platform caused me to miss out on income.
