  • Bank account requiring Google play account, how to bypass ?

    Jump

  • It may be hard and take time, but it sounds like it would be worth at least starting the process and slowly take steps to move. If they've done this, what's the likelihood that they'll do something even worse later?

  • Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching

    Jump

  • I was curious about this too, particularly if and how well the Meta Quest 3 mirroring/tethering or whatever they call it works.

  • There's hope for privacy yet

  • What is the acceptable amount of microplastics you would allow into your brain?

    Jump

  • 420 microplastics?

  • I'm suppose to believe I now live in a world where a Democrat can become president again and put George Soros at the head of DOGE?

    Jump

  • And George Soros being some kind of secret mastermind is also a right wing fever dream.

    The funny thing is that so is the idea of Melon Husk being some kind of mastermind.

  • Yeah, that's how I do it too. Although some instances don't seem to block it, you would have to find out which, and that may be difficult to find.

  • I totally understand why they would do it. I don't understand why or how they block the NSFW instances without them appearing in the list of blocked instances.

  • lemmynsfw appears to be blocked secretly on lemm.ee. It's not listed under blocked instances there, but I can't see any posts from lemmynsfw there either. There must be some other mechanism that's available besides blocking instances in the open.

  • Lemmy Sorting Hat

    Jump

  • Weird. Then either our instances are secretly blocking it, not through defederation, or there's some other mysterious technical reason for it.

  • But also think that the rule of Lemmy is that all algorithms end at porn.

    Huh? I don't see any porn, regardless of what sort I choose. Ah, that's because there's a checkbox in your settings to let you choose whether to see NSFW posts or not. I guess turning that off works really well.

  • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

    Jump

  • Ah, thank you! That's what I was actually thinking of, but then I thought I was mistaken.

  • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

    Jump

  • I see. It sounds like it's deeply ingrained then. I think you've more than done your job and it's all you can do.

  • Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires?

    Jump

  • Good to know, thanks.

  • Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires?

    Jump

  • Sure. The vehicle will under report speed and driven mileage with larger wheels and tires, and over report both with smaller wheels than tires. I'm not if it's possible to adjust the speedometer and odometer, or if people even bother.

  • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

    Jump

  • I don't know anything about loops but I use mastodon fairly regularly. Mastodon only has like two basic algorithms: your main feed shows the individual posts of everyone you follow or which contain hashtags you follow. Then there's another page that will also show you the top posts of the day - I believe that goes by the posts which received the most "boosts" although I've seen some people say that it may take into account the number of "favorites" the post receives. It's a fairly different concept from Lemmy.

    I'm hoping that the Fediverse thrives, even at a smaller scale. I'm so done with major corporate social media. Speaking of which, tomorrow is being called a day to switch from the corporate ones to the independent ones, like Reddit -> Lemmy, Twitter -> Mastodon, Instagram -> Pixelfed, etc.

  • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

    Jump

  • That's a possibility too, but we'll never know for sure until the front page subscribed algorithms are improved.

  • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

    Jump

  • English pronunciation is completely all over the place, so much so that you frequently cannot predict how a word is supposed to be pronounced. I usually don't pay too much attention to pronunciation errors because of that.

  • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

    Jump

  • So this brings up an interesting question: when or when not to point people's error to them. I'd hate to think that someone would keep repeating their error simply because they've never been told the correct way.

  • I feel that this one is slightly pedantic because, strictly speaking, "the proof is in the pudding" is also technically correct. After all, the proof of the pudding is in the pudding. Yes, the more correct form is much more clear as to what it means, but that doesn't invalidate the mis-phrasing.
