Lemmy shouldn’t have avatars, banners, or bios
Received dirt on the American Democrat party from the Russians and released it during the election to help Trump.
He said he received stuff on the Republicans as well, but it was “not interesting” and didn’t publish it. Didn’t really support his stated goal of transparency.

I remember that marketing campaign. Windows Vista had a shaky launch, because the hardware manufacturers hadn’t polished the Vista-compatible drivers yet. 6 months later, they had caught up, but people still had a bad taste from it.
So when service pack 1 came out, Microsoft made a reskinned version of it and started an ad campaign with “customers” claiming “Windows 7 was my idea!” and the public ate it up.
Well I agree with most of that, and I suppose I should clarify that I’m not hostile to every decorative emoji someone uses in their text. My response is primarily towards the folks who use it instead of clear written communication, but it extends to people who overuse emoji to the point of making the text less readable.
Adding flavor or decorations (like the one used in this post) has rarely confused me, and I have no complaints there. But I’ll still disagree with you that using emoji ever makes things more clear than using words. I have certainly never had that experience
Emojis are a terrible method of communication. People have different interpretations of the same faces, and use them to mean different things. On top of that, they render differently depending on which device or service you are using, potentially sending a completely different message than you intended.
Tiny faces are ambiguous and usually don’t help clarify a message.
Just use your words, it makes for better communication. Spell out what you mean and there’s less room for misunderstanding.
ActivityPub has nothing to do with privacy. It’s explicitly about publicly sharing everything you share
I already know that! What was the point of this post??
As another tall guy, I don’t really understand.
My backpack fits under the seat, but it has no impact on what my legs can do, because that’s not where the bottleneck is. I don’t think legs bend that way to be able to use that space under the seat. My thighs end up wedged between my seat back and the seat in front of me, and they can’t really point towards the floor there.
At the same time, there is absolutely zero chance I am letting my backpack with my laptop out of my sight. The airport already made sure I pulled it out and showed everyone that I am carrying an expensive device. If it’s my device, then I paid too much to just shove it in a shared bin with strangers’ stuff for a few hours. If it’s my work device, then I’m not willing to risk any delay in getting my work done, because that’s terribly inconvenient for me.
My cousin named her daughter Chastity.
Chastity attended her parents’ wedding.
I’m pretty sure what you’re missing here is that you did give (arguably) objective descriptions of issues with the game, but it’s still your opinion that these make the game a failure. Sure, it didn’t meet up to your standards, but those standards are absolutely subjective.
Lots of games are repetitive. Lots of games have no story consequences shown in the game. They still succeed at being games, even if they don’t meet your standards.
I get it, you are passionate about this, but you’re mistaken at this point.
I would like to point out that Tuvok is not the only prominent Vulcan who has let emotions get the better of him once in a while.
I would go further and argue that Vulcans all recognize that they are inherently emotional, and strict denialism is just part of the way they build the logical society and mindset that they desire. Tuvok is honestly the first Vulcan they showed properly dealing with that, despite his attempts to blow it off by refusing to talk about it with others.
The other Vulcans we saw tended to leave it at the surface level, and then we didn’t get to see the internal struggles like we did with Tuvok
I’m with you, the only part of this that’s based on faith is the last statement, and that’s easily attributed to Tuvok recognizing that the more emotional humans tend to respond well to faith.
He’s served with humans for decades, and he knows strict Vulcan mentality won’t help this situation. (A lesson he continued to learn during voyager’s run, despite the decades of experience under his belt)
What did I miss?
It mentions Daniel Radcliffe, is that just a vague reference to Harry Potter?
I’m not sure which hop in the federation chain is censoring random shit but I despise it.
In your case, that would be lemmy.ml. The only way you can get around it is to hop instances.
This is one of the things I like most about Go. Formatting is already defined and handled by go fmt. Takes out all format arguments before they start.
The drawback to this is lower new user engagement.
Face it, most people who come look at Lemmy aren’t looking to block several dozen accounts and communities to make the feed useable. Most don’t even want to look for communities at first, they just want to see what the vibe is on the main feed, and judge from there
If we want to draw in more users and increase engagement, we need to cater to more than just the people who are ready to customize everything before judging. There’s a few possible ways to go about this, but it’s very clear that “just block things you don’t like” isn’t going to be enough.
I realize the drawbacks to any solution here, but as it stands now, even when I block the bots I don’t like, there’s not enough real content and discussion, and my own engagement is decreasing. The solution is probably not to ban all these bots, but leaving it alone as it is isn’t working well either
Would you settle for Brent Spiner doing his best Patrick Stewart about the situation?

That’s more or less the way I would do it
I could do without most of Oregon too
