• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Why isn’t there a right wing instance?

  Because all other instances would assume that it’s for Nazis and defederate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Creators who care about privacy should not support Google’s monopoly by using YouTube as their Platform of choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We refer to jeans as "a pair of jeans", but the only thing that there are two of is the legs, it's still only one item of clothing.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s called a plurale tantum or “plural-only noun”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, also remember to completely avoid Typescript and C# since they are also Microsoft.

  This, but unironically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  By what standard is GitLab not a “capitalist platform”? It feels even more corporatey than GitHub. From their homepage:

  GitLab is the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps Platform.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  SourceHut encourages an e-mail based workflow that does not require anyone but the repository owner to have an account. In fact, that’s how Git originally worked before GitHub enshittified it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How would decentralization work for an issue tracker? The issues have to be stored somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure there is a lot that the random developer who happened to be born in Russia can do about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The basics of the Fediverse. Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Reddit, ... vs the Fediverse. What do you think?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But you can’t view Mastodon posts from Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have I Been Pwned owner, pwned.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does that also mean I should not browse any websites I don’t already know? That’s very limiting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have I Been Pwned owner, pwned.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there anything bad that can happen if you just click a link without logging in or anything? How is it different from opening up a random search result?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My sister’s AMAB friend likes to look like a girl and even said she wanted to be a “Japanese woman”, why would conservatives think using she/her pronouns for her is forcing an agenda?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  One reason why pronouns exist is that you don’t need to know someone in order to be able to refer to them. Forcing people to use someone’s preferred pronouns defeats the purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My sister’s AMAB friend likes to look like a girl and even said she wanted to be a “Japanese woman”, why would conservatives think using she/her pronouns for her is forcing an agenda?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because a pronoun is not a name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My Android phone (Realme) allowed me to uninstall most pre-installed bloatware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You still have the freedom to not use alternative app stores.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Walled gardens are not good for anyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how it’s being used, yeah. But ideally it shouldn’t be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Moderation is when you take down material because the recipient doesn’t want to see it. Censorship is when you take down content because you don’t want the recipient to see it, regardless of how the recipient feels about it. If people think censorship is sometimes justified, they should argue that, and not muddle the picture with moderation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Fediverse services do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only Lemmy. I could never find anything interesting on Mastodon and hate the Twitter-based format.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not custom emojis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Matrix does not support custom emojis, which are the killer feature of Discord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …You know you can buy multiple things at once at the store?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does 'attempted murder' require a viable method?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you sincerely believed that it will result in the actual person dying, sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Found the radical feminist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The typo makes this really confusing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why should someone join the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is such obvious AI slop that nobody is going to read it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why should someone join the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you prefer to browse Instagram-like, you still get to see Twitter-like post, and you friends can see your photos from a Twitter-like interface. Or you can have a Twitter-like interface and interact with Reddit-like posts on Lemmy.

  Except if you try to display Mastodon posts on any significantly different platform, Mastodon users will lose their shit and harass you until you shut it down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use both Outlook and non-Outlook e-mail (the former forced by my school) and never had problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Except it does matter. Your choice of server affects what content you’re allowed to see and what people you’re allowed to interact with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For e-mail, it does not really make a difference.
