  • Which is why you would want the EU to enter undeclared war on Switzerland, invading the country and replacing their local government, killing and arresting anyone who would resist.

  • If we're headed into a chaotic and terrible time of uprising and war these next few decades, I hope among the things that get shelled and flattened, all of Microsoft's offices are among them. It would be a shame if, like IBM nearly a century ago, Microsoft remains in the aftermath.

  • Yeah, I've been swyping interchangeably between Norwegian and English on the same keyboard for years, and mixed in some Mandarin for good measure. That was on it's own pinyin thing though, might not have affected the NB EN keyboard.

  • I write so many wrong words due to swype it's ridiculous, but it's so nice to write with otherwise. Maybe I've been too slack with it and ruined the prediction algorithm or whatever. Maybe I'm just inaccurate. If I actually care, I'll make sure to proofread, but often I barely glance.

    Sharks are avoiding British waters

    Not seeing much talk about it.

  • Hysteria is in poor taste, and I'm sure the guy wasn't thinking of a slithering uterus.

    But Cluster B personality disorders are what some of the more justified instances of suspected hysteria would be called today. Some others would be stress, others healthy responses to bad situations, and I'm sure some would be willing to go into far more detail.

  • These lists are almost always stupid.

    The worst part is that usually the maker hasn't used half of the things they recommend.. If they had, they wouldn't have recommended them.

    I'm guessing they tend to make these lists because of a personal connection to one or two companies they put in their list. Just as bit of free marketing.

    Is it technically feasible to just move incorrectly submitted with all their comments and votes to a different instance and community, instead of removing them?

    I feel like if this was in place, it would neatly solve the issue of people not posting because they can't find a fitting community.

    A user or a mod spots an incorrectly submitted post, the user that posted it can then move it to a suggested "general" community, or a specific community, possibly suggested by those who spotted the error. A mod could also do it. Maybe just have a default alternative to remove that sends it straight to a preset general community.

    I don't know how many communities on Lemmy regularly remove incorrectly submitted posts that are otherwise unproblematic, but if there's a decent amount it could be essentially redirected to be a bit of a unique and interesting, very varied content stream.

    I personally think it's unfortunate whenever an otherwise decent user ends up being rejected for not knowing exactly how to fit their submission into the platform. Certainly a lot of that happening on reddit.

    I'm thinking if this is practical and feasible, it could give Lem

    Stop Killing Games on track to not even reach the threshold to be brought up to the European Commission

    It is at 361,826 out of 1,000,000 signatures with the remaining trickle after the initial spike nowhere near the pace needed to hit the mark before the 31st of July 2025.

    (https://www.reddit.com/r/StopKillingGames/comments/1flaevi/let_me_put_the_current_campaign_progress_into_a/)

    I interpret the state of Ross Scott's SKG campaign like this:
    It's pretty clear that democratically speaking, we do not object to companies arbitrarily removing access to purchased video games. Only a minority objects to it.

    While it will stay up and get more signatures, there will ultimately be no follow-through to this campaign. The reality is that it's not politically sound, it's not built on a foundation of a real public desire for change. In other words, voters don't want it. You might, but most of your family and friends don't want it.

    My brother claims that Vanguard for League can do the same to gaming PCs that install it as CrowdStrike did to businesses who installed that, is this true? Does Vanguard have as much access/power?

    Recently I haven't even opened Lemmy

    Too many users here prefer smaller communities and have openly stated they aren't interested in making accommodations to pursue growth to a truly large platform, even if it could be.

    Lemmy is the sort of site that will linger in the background and quietly die out, it'll occassionally be mentioned in the same sorts of conversation that bring up old alternatives like voat, rare conversations with few readers.

    I had some optimism at the growth spurt, but seeing what the opinions of users here were, that hope turned into cynicism. As I forgot about Lemmy, it's irrelevance was reinforced. It would be best, I think, if this foundation could replace its competitors. But I don't think it's going to happen.

    I don't think you want common idiots to like the site.

    Anyone know if reddit hides comments with strange links?

    I posted a comment with a link to an article on CNN and several links to architecture and construction websites. It seems like reddit doesn't like comments with untrusted links? Are they being subtly hidden from the thread?

    If this is being done at any scale at all I wonder if it's a significant cause of the feeling that the internet has shrunk into a few main sites, linking to a recognizable relatively small selection of news and media sources.

    The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL.

    Weird question, but anyone know if wire EDM can be bent at all?

    I saw some clay sculpting tools and started thinking it would be sweet to cut metal with something like that. The tools I saw are apparently called pottery ribbon tools, so more of a ribbon than a wire then.

    What does kbin mean? Why is kbin.social called that?

    Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?

    Why does it seem like some of my sweaters have a soft and loose "lint layer" on the inside?

    It's always particularly nice and soft the first time you put it on, but the one I got most recently is so bad it leaves a thin but thorough coat of black fur on my arms when I take it off. What's the production methods used when making sweaters like this?

    Why does the Posts>All>Active/Hot feed flood with new content sometimes?

    Isn't that supposed to only happen on Posts>All>New? Shouldn't Active/Hot posts require some existing engagement before appearing?

    Does lemm.ee sometimes sync with federated instances, which is when new content floods en masse?

    This is one of the experiences I've had that makes Lemmy feel far more janky than reddit.com/r/all

    Idk if I think lemm.ee is a good alternative.

    I think this place is too fragmented into instances to ever generate a front page anywhere near what r/all is.

    If I understand this page right, https://lemm.ee will never show the top post of the day from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/, https://discuss.tchncs.de/, or https://feddit.uk/.

    And the "front page/general" site is already split into several instances (https://vlemmy.net/, https://lemmy.world/, https://sh.itjust.works/, https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/ and https://lemmy.one/, all claiming to be "a general front page lemmy instance")

    So what's the deal, which one are we betting on as the place to direct all the new traffic? What's the contender for primary public internet bulletin board? Right now the arrow to an alternative is looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/L1XsBy6.pngd

    I'm personally guessing the conclusion is already reached; We have no place we're betting on. We're disinterested in pushing for any particular result. We don't expect people to migrate. Many might not even
