You make a good point lol. I’ve made the classic blunder of not reading the sub name…

And for those wanting a simpler and more traditional application, Nicotine+ is a great introduction.

“Would have” or “would’ve”, never “would of”. Unless you have a would of gotten, in which case carry on.

I’m going to disagree on this one, I’ve seem far too many comments, especially from LW users, along the lines of “I can’t be bothered to change websites because I’m already settled in.” Most people are attached to their posts and content and consider moving instance as “losing progress”. And the bigger an instance is the harder it’ll be to leave if they ever pull something seriously “power trippy” that could lock off content to some people, because there will be a large mass of communities and posts on that instance.

They’re an international spy, obviously.

I prefer votes being semi-anonymous. The vote counts are technically public, you just have to use software that displays them, but that added barrier is enough for most people to never check and that is how I prefer it. I feel like seeing voter names just encourages getting into pissing contests about “why did you downvote me” which I don’t want to happen because: A, votes don’t matter and B, if someone downvoted without commenting they probably don’t want to spend half an hour arguing in comments.

It’ll be interesting to see how things play out with Lemmy instances when Reddit bans porn.

Especially as many Lemmy instances don’t want to host or moderate NSFW content. I don’t blame them, but I’m also doubtful pornlemmy alone could handle the load (pun intended).

Welcome to Lemmy.ca! You chose well, we’ve got a pretty good admin team here.

That makes sense, it’s probably the same people writing both messages.

Check r/conservative and you get a fair idea.

Don’t make the same mistake I did. Get a backup in place before using ZFS. Using ZFS and RAIDing your drives together makes them a singular failure point. If ZFS fucks up, you’re done. The only way to mitigate this is having another copy in a different pool and preferably different machine. I got lucky that my corrupted ZFS pool was still readable and I could copy files off, but others have not been so lucky.

To expand on what Grappling said, I’ll give you an example. A few years ago the city repaved a decrepit section of road into a smooth and wide open road that is wide enough for 4 lanes but made into 2 wide ones with massive shoulders. There are no pedestrians on this road and you can comfortably go 80-100km/h. The speed limit they set? 50. While it’s not every road, it is definitely a lot of roads that get treated like this. It results in getting very comfortable with breaking the speed limits because the speed limits are stupid not matched to the designs of the roads.

Uh, I missed this one. Someone got the backstory?

Step 1: don’t browse the All feed. I dunno how Reddit was okay for you, visiting r/all was always full of Trump this Trump that every 5 minutes.

*For a limited set of languages. Until they add Japanese I won’t be getting much use from it, sadly.

This problem is solved by having paper towels (air dryers suck) and placing the paper towel trash bin next to the door so that you can use your hand-full of towels as a barrier between the handle and throw the towels away as you leave.

Real tree, usually with 10 strings of lights around the rooms but that has been reducing as we age. There is a smell and ambiance of a real tree that can’t be beat, it really sets the winter mood.

making phone calls (yes this is calling myself out too)

They kind of shot themselves in the foot by launching it paid. I saw plenty of launch coverage when you had to pay a subscription and also buy games but everyone knew they would shut down because it was Google so no one bought into it. This is the first I’ve heard of it being free and I had to confirm it but that would have really sweetened the deal on launch.

I enjoyed 7 when it first released. The visual style in the first 10 minutes was appealing and I figured we were retreading the same notes for nostalgia before going on a different plot with Finn. Nope, just poorly written rehashed story lines with nonsense plot devices. So much potential thrown away.
