  • How can you tell?

  • What a sad fucking time we live in.

  • This is just dripping with corporate branding so much that's weirdly kitch.

  • Cute rule

  • That′s fucked up

  • What's the context here?

    Kurzgesagt video on Meat and farming practices

    Really appreciate Kurzgesagt spreading awareness with content like this.

  • Sync all day baby. It's just so clean and compact. And the swipeability is great.

  • For sure, these are nice. Just wish I could do it in both directions.

    Make it so I can swipe left to downvote

    I would love the ability to swipe left to downvote. Right to upvote or vice versa. Long swipes on each side would be a major bonus as well.

  • Thanks for this! I had no idea what was going on.

  • Bidet all day baby

  • Not to be a doomer, but it feels like the skill floor to protecting my privacy is unbearably high and getting higher. Does anyone have a good resource about it?

  • Why? Just why do people comment like this?

  • And much of it are regulators that regulate HIS businesses. Of course he wants to break them.

  • Mushrooms are actually incredibly good for you. They are one of the cleanest sources of protein you can get and actually have many incredible health effects. Also, they are fucking delicious. Here's a good link to learn more. 🍄 https://youtu.be/KEa8W0OneH4

  • I′m wondering if it′s a paid propaganda account.

  • I had to do a double take when I saw Lemmy.ca spiked to 9.1k registered users

  • What caused it?

  • Amazing. Is that book Ghost Boy? I've always wanted to read it.

  • I agree mostly with your general point, but I want to talk a bit about your example. I think it's okay to mock the Pope because I think religion is silly and ought to be mocked a bit. Of course, if you're Catholic, you might disagree. It's a good example for that reason. However, Catholics have a lot of power in society. They are not as marginalized as many other groups. So the example might not hit for everyone because intuitively, they don't think mocking Christianity or Catholicism is going to cause much harm in a western country where these groups are incredibly powerful.

    Appropriation, and/or, as you said, stereotypes and jokes, are often mocking a culture or a people too. If they are a marginalized group, which often they are if they're being mocked, then it can add insult to injury

    To clarify, here's a good example: As another commenter pointed out; appropriation is actually about making fun of things that other cultures hold sacred. An example I have heard of (but am pretty ignorant about myself) is wearing a native american feathered headdress.

    I have heard it's reserved for specific people that indigenous Americans want to honor with it. It's like wearing a medal as a general. So, wearing a feathered headeess and cosplaying as native is belittling something they hold sacred.

    The Waveform explains the Fediverse and the protocol war

    Even though I'm on here, I honestly lurk most of the time and don't fully understand the activitypub vs at protocol war. This was a great explainer that will reach a lot of people. Really appreciate a lot of David's takes. I hope David and others at MKBHD become aware of and talk about Lemmy soon too.

    Be Cool Even When Really Big Goblins Casually Drop Acid

    Lemmyversers, I'm looking for some help developing a new mnemonic device.

    Inspired by a video by Epic Spaceman, where he explains a handy system for comparing the size of things from a banana to an atom, I’ve come up with a mnemonic device to aid in remembering these scales.

    He lists items, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 10:

    It goes:

    • Banana
    • Coin
    • Edge of the coin
    • Waterbear/microorganism
    • Red blood cell
    • Bacteria
    • "Good virus"/Bacteriophage
    • Corona Virus/"Bad Virus"
    • DNA
    • Atom

    So a coin is roughly 1/10 a banana, and the edge of that coin is roughly 1/10 the size if that coin.

    It gives good references for thinking about other things if similar size. A sort of banana for scale at each factor of 10.

    And allows you to quickly determine approximations like Covid is roughly 1000 times smaller than a red blood cell. Or an atom is roughly 1 billion times smaller than a banana. (That doesn't sound right. Is that actually ri

    Great app! - A few requests

    Got some ideas/requests.

    This is my favorite app so far. Love the swipe controls and the compact UI. Liking the snappiness of it all.

    Ideas/requests

    • Add direct messaging (I can see my messages but can't respond to them).
    • Add trending communities when you click search/a way to explore communities rather than having to type in the specific community you want.
    • Make it so clicking on "all" at the top of the screen opens a menu that gives you the option to switch between all, local, subscribed and specific subs and functions as a search.
    • Allow user to customize UI a bit more, specifically in compact mode I'd like to be able to switch the side that the preview thumbnail is on.
    • Show profile banners and have a way for users to customize their banner and profile pic.
    • Add an edit post function.
    • Add sidebars.
    • Ability to save drafts on posts and comments.

    Keep up the amazing work! ʕ⁠·⁠ᴥ⁠·⁠ʔ--
