- Comment on How can open source projects get acquired by third parties? 5 hours ago:
What you describe isn’t software getting acquired, it’s a website getting acquired.
- Comment on A community for sharing experiences of “switching” 1 day ago:
there is also !demicrosoft@programming.dev
- Comment on Games have to cost $80! Meanwhile focus £35 oh sure have the DLC for £1 you have the other game 1 day ago:
at least actually post it to !unexpectedfactorial@sopuli.xyz if you leave a comment like that…
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
the main thing I want my instance to defederate from is spambot farms, defederating because of political moderation policies is censorship and not moderation
- Comment on Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments. 4 days ago:
Nah this entire thread is a perfect illustration why US First Amendment standards for free speech are (roughly) good and should be adopted in all countries. This is where it ends when you start to think it’s ok to criminalize “hate speech” or “terrorist propaganda” or “approval of criminal acts”.

dammit the bot was faster than even the explainxkcd page creation bot, not to even speak of mastodon.xyz/@xkcd :o

Are you sure you will be allowed to drive a manual car in Romania with your American license if you didn’t take the test with a manual car? I live in a different European country and here if you take the test with an automatic car, you are only allowed to drive automatic cars. You should research this.
It’s definitely different from an automatic car and requires more concentration. Once you get used to it, it’s not difficult. I was older than you are now when I learned to drive at all (which I did on a manual car) and managed it anyway.

- Comment on If someone is bullied to suicide/threatened to death, and they actually attempt something like that or die, will the person who told them to do so get charged? 1 week ago:
Legal questions can’t be meaningfully answered without a location. But there are many places where there are laws against that and this can be a crime.
- Comment on Communitys von kaputten Instanzen aus Suchergebnissen entfernen 1 week ago:
Ihr habt keine Möglichkeit, nur neue Beiträge dort zu verhindern und/oder sie aus der Community-Suche zu entfernen? Aber sonst aufrufbar zu lassen?
- Comment on Usernames using randomized nonsense 1 week ago:
IMHO messages from things you’ve signed up to are unlikely to be “spam”. I’ve always understood that word to mainly mean completely unsolicited messages from people you have no previous relationship with at all; though if it’s clearly unwanted it might include some of the former too.
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 1 week ago:
I suspect you already know about Meads v Meads. Paragraph 73 of that provides some clues:
All this is a consequence of the fact gurus proclaim they know secret principles and law, hidden from the public, but binding on the state, courts, and individuals.
Many people like the thought that they know something no one else knows or that at least most people don’t know. Including things about the law.

- Comment on Can't believe we have to say this but, don't use your work email for adult content 2 weeks ago:
The dataset might contain only (or be filtered for) confirmed email addresses, ie. where someone actually clicked the confirmation link. That would make this very unlikely.
- Comment on Mastodon doesn't like Addy aliases 2 weeks ago:
“Mastodon” is probably not doing that, a specific instance might be though?
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 2 weeks ago:
Movements to abolish or reduce the scope of copyright existed long before the current “AI” hype. Keywords around it are: free culture, the Pirate Bay, “copying is not theft”, etc.
I’ve long been sympathetic to such and I don’t think “AI” changes anything about that.
- Comment on What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been calling it threadiverse because that is what I saw most other people call it.
Really all it is is “ActivityPub groups” or if that is too technical, “fediverse groups”.
- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 2 weeks ago:
The existence of cash is probably the least of one’s problems in that scenario. How is food going to be delivered to stores without working gas pumps? How will stores open their electronic doors or process payments without a cash register?
If this is something you are worried about, store enough non-perishable (eg canned) food in your home so you don’t starve in that scenario.
- Comment on xkcd #3084: Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object 2 weeks ago:
Quite possibly true, it’s just that I haven’t seen this kind of thing from xkcd before.

- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 2 weeks ago:
Probably true. slatestarcodex.com/…/i-can-tolerate-anything-exce… was written before most people cared much about this but certainly applies very strongly to it. I am fortunately not directly affected by it either way (I am neither trans nor a woman nor have any desire to pretend to be trans in order to get access to women’s spaces) so it doesn’t get my emotions up much to read any side’s arguments; I can see why that may be different for others.
- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 2 weeks ago:
When I first became active on reddit, I admired how few sitewide rules they had and how much free speech they allowed.
Now they ban debate about one of the most contentious and multifaceted societal issues of the present. What are online discussion forums there for if not to openly and civilly exchange ideas about issues like this?

- Comment on A load of mastodon users think groups are just autoboost accounts. 3 weeks ago:
Is this not basically true, that that is how group federation works? Not sure what exactly you are trying to say.
- Comment on xkcd #3082: Chess Position 3 weeks ago:
That would be even better, but according to this, only moderators of the community can request that from rss.ponder.cat. I am not a moderator of this community, so this is why I wrote my request the way I did; if you want to chime in there, go ahead.

- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 3 weeks ago:
Why do you think Donald Trump has any clue about anything he is doing? Has he not repeatedly demonstrated the opposite?
