Hasbro being the worst, yet again

BG3’s only sin is having to be tied to the worst owner in tabletop gaming. Thank god Larian is independent.

It’s still refreshing that you can simply just edit a title now, lol

There has not been an election by Palestine in Gaza for roughly 17 years. Hamas isn’t exactly democratic.

Wish they had a native app. The misskey clients make my phone itch

Congratulations, you’ve sufficiently annoyed me enough to log in to my local instances to type this out.

There is no ”one” way to speak and write English — we don’t have an “”“official”“” institute of our language like Spanish or French does (and even if we did, they would not have a monopoly on English). We don’t speak in Received Pronunciation or keep the superfluous ‘u’ next to every ‘o.’
Like every language, English has multiple dialects with their own vocabulary, and even some with their own specific grammar. The sentence in the OP was likely written in one of them - African-American Vernacular English. This dialect codifies double negatives, the habitual be, and words like ‘finna.’ Many of its aspects are already integrated into ‘standard’ American English.

This is part of the process of language in general. Many of the rules in ‘proper form’ come from shorthand, slang, and and crude versions of other languages and forms. Being aware of the rules shifting and changing as people shift and change how they speak will probably get you further than turning your nose up at rules you don’t recognize.

Macabre. Why do you need two silent letters?

I personally would not, partially for the aforementioned concerns about .zip and also because Lemmy IIRC has no migration path from one instance domain to another. This is partially due to ActivityPub and partially due to it not being addressed in Lemmy core.
This is part of the reason why after FMHY.ml got disrupted, those communities could not come back online on that server.
For the time being, whenever you choose a fediverse domain, you are stuck with it, especially if you run Lemmy.

I’m not that confident in sites that choose .zip at this point in time.

Props for MacWorld’s editors for digging out the OG Blue Pixel for this device shot†

A fitting name for a beautiful outcome.

I wish them bountiful data transfers without Telco trashiness.

Hey pot? I got kettle on the line here, it’s for you

I’m…mixed on situations like these

Like yeah, it’s very annoying having to manually refresh for more content, but at the same time I do appreciate having more time to fully explore my timeline instead of coming back from a post to see they completely discarded my reading place, losing whatever is was looking at, likely forever.

Of course, for quieter networks you may run into the problem of content refreshing too little…

I’m a lefty that does appreciate debate in certain contexts, which seems to be somewhat unpopular nowadays. There would be no benefit in having a debate here except maybe in a very, very, very, very, very, very contextual, academic forum of a thought experiment (and I’m highly skeptical of even that, as you would have to presuppose some truly monstrous things).
Desantis is not going to be in that forum. He’s going to platform KKK rhetoric used as a justification for slavery for nearly a century after its abolition. His staffers are quite literally Nazis. The ethics of chattel slavery are very clear cut, similarly to how the ethics of sexual abuse are clear cut: for all but an infinitesimal section of people, the only people advocating for them are monstrous, disgusting bigots.

If it helps you feel better kbin.social doesn’t seem to apply those suspicious votes

He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out

ActivityPub is more of a social network protocol rather than a messaging protocol. It assumes most data sent through it will get public by default and has very little encryption set up for it, let along E2EE. Now Matrix is a better use case for an open protocol like that and also offers bridges between other chat networks (I wouldn’t be surprised if Beeper has Matrix under the hood).

You can even file an issue (or upvote similar ones) here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui

If there’s any company that could actually do that it would be between PayPal and Metabook, not Muskrat. He’s not that guy

Why is he stealing Xorg’s logo?

Yeah, the dust is still settling (in the middle of a rebrand/namespace migration). I like it as it feels like Mastodon++ and it last links with Lemmy/Kbin.
