I may need to look into this, because the colours between my drawing tablet and main monitor are quite different.
Free speech =/= Speech without consequence.
She’s free to speak whatever she wants. She’s also free to live with the consequences of her speech.
If you think they’re bots, you can just subscribe to a user-curated block list for bot accounts.
What kind of friend?
The Clone Wars was before Disney. But yes.
No. It would be better to give your money that fixes the underlying issues why the person is homeless in the first place.
There are a lot more homeless people about than the one you’re giving money to, and giving money to one homeless person will not fix their situation.
Well, guess I’m either a freak or a pervert.
No thanks. The game isn’t worth my time even if it were completely free.
Agreed.
It’s rather odd you think discord is full of children… And that there aren’t verification processes in place.
You’re creating a problem with Discord that doesn’t exist, or at least, not in any way that’s unique to discord.
1- What does that have to do with anything?
2- Then make a private server for just your friends.
3- Then make a private server for just your friends.
And no, it wasn’t better. Just… different.
Wouldn’t limiting server sizes and getting rid of community searching be removing features? Why would anyone want that?
And Discord used to have #XXXX at the end of usernames.
Yeah, I’ve been using Vesktop/Vencord all this time. Has more features than Discord with Nitro. No reason to really switch back to the official client.
Pretty sure if my mom died I’d be too traumatised to talk about it. The whole event already wasn’t exactly a small deal, I’d have been permanently devastated if the worst happened.
Dunno. Maybe it’s genuine curiosity. Maybe they’re farming upvotes and believe that something dramatic like such a question will achieve that.
But to answer the question; almost. I came pretty close to murdering somebody. Not out of rage or anything, but out of desperation. A man was attacking my mother, choking her on her leather necklace. My sister grabbed the chopping axe. I grabbed the metal pipe, but then we just froze.
American far right has been winning a lot, which has given the European far right (a people that has been pretty silent since World War 2) the courage to step up themselves.
What’s most distressing is that these far right people are swaying people who aren’t far right.
Here are some:
The average person is tech illiterate, so having them understand what a “federated platform” is, is too much to ask. It may be easy for you or me, but we’re here on Lemmy, so that immediately makes us not the average.
The average person also doesn’t care what a federated platform is. They just want something that is convenient and works. Same as the above point; maybe we would be willing to sit down and figure things out, but others will consider that a waste of time and makes something bad.
In that sense, federated platforms are a major failure, as picking instances and creating accounts is a hassle rather than a convenience.
From personal experience, trying to find a Mastodon instance to make an account on was irritating. Some rules were too restrictive, some rules were too vague, other rules looked like they were created for sensitive little snowflakes. It was like reading through the rules of Discord servers. Not a good look for a social media platform.
Something like Bluesky tries to be both; a platform without algorithms (or only user-created algorithms that you can choose to subscribe to), where you can make your own instance or just be part of its centralised instance. The fact that the overwhelming number of people choose the latter should tell you enough about what people want.
Any body-breaking heavy labour. Emphasis on body-breaking; there’s nothing wrong with hard work, but there are certain people that believe hard work = leaving your body destroyed at 50.
I’m using Plasma, and I’m having trouble finding where it is. Where would I look for this setting?
