  • Men, how well do you know your best male friends?

  • Hmm, interesting. Where are you from?

  • I can't manage to make Kate look half descent on Mint (Cinnamon). It does look great on Plasma

  • I am aware of this one, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I'll start using Kate, and contribute whatever features I'm missing if I can.

  • What is your opinion of online moderators? Do you think of them as an ally or an adversary?

    Jump

  • Exactly. I'm a mod in a few subreddits, the biggest of which is /r/Showerthoughts. People don't notice our existence unless we interact with them directly, and you rarely interact with users unless to ban them or to remove their content. So it is expected to be hated.

    TIL Steven Russell escaped from prison by using laxatives to fake AIDS, then called the prison posing as a doctor, asking for prisoners interested in an experimental treatment, and volunteered.

  • What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own?

    Jump

  • It is common in the middle east, with some leeway. Like if someone is sitting diagonal to you such that your foot isn't directly facing them, it's okay. Unless its a professional meeting, then having your foot up is just disrespectful, but I imagine that goes for most countries.

  • Yah, nvm.

    Jump

  • Alright, so you don’t acknowledge the problem, still fits the definition.

    I'd hate for our discussion to be about semantics, but I'm saying that we don't believe in the problem. If I'd say "Hey, regarding the vampire situation, you have your head in the sand, because you won't acknowledge the problem", it wouldn't be an accurate statement, or correct usage of the phrase.

  • Yah, nvm.

    Jump

  • unwilling to recognize or acknowledge a problem or situation

    I'm not saying that we are unwilling to recognize a problem, the problem itself is greatly exaggerated, or even non-existent.

  • Yah, nvm.

    Jump

  • Yeah I agree. I'm mostly talking about what you'll find on Twitter and big subreddits.

  • Yah, nvm.

    Jump

  • I'm almost the same as OP, but I wouldn't call it "head in the sand". For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you'll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc..

    Stop following the news, and you won't notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.

  • The year of Linux on the desktop is closer. Linux reaches 3% of desktops

    Jump

  • Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.

  • Jerboa v0.0.39 Release

    Jump

  • It's been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.

  • When you reach the point of dehumanizing an entire population, you should stop and think about the amount of shit the media has filled your head with.

  • What annoys you the most about Reddit?

    Jump

  • Check the post date.

  • What annoys you the most about Reddit?

    Jump

  • I posted this 2 years ago.

  • What annoys you the most about Reddit?

    Jump

  • Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way "Active" sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.

  • Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?

    Jump

  • HackerNews has an interesting approach: You can't downvote comments unless you reach a certain amount of "Karma", and you can't downvote posts at all, you can "flag" them, meaning you think they don't belong here. Flagging doesn't affect the vote count, but massive flagging does make the post appear lower in the feed, and alerts mods.

    This, alongside the tight moderation and zero-tolerance towards flame wars in the comments makes HackerNews one of the best places on the internet imho.

  • Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?

    Jump

  • Same. For me, upvote = adding something to the conversation. That's why I upvote most comments I come across, and rarely downvote people.

  • Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone?

    Jump

  • Comparing iPhone to "Android" isn't fair, because people conveniently compare it to the lowest end. Compare the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the S23 Ultra for example, a phone from a respected company at the same price range. And it isn't "luck". Just a quick Google search will give you the high-end Android devices currently.

  • @feditips @fediverse Is there a Fedi version of something like Facebook Groups? Social circles for a specific topic? Calckey looks lik

  • I mean Lemmy kinda servers the same purpose, and the way comment threads work us way better than Facebook. What features are you missing?
