Just use a mirror to unlock their phone using their “face”.
- Comment on we need more users 6 days ago:
I don’t like how broad Lemmy assumes default interests are, though then again showing everyone the average interests may statistically be the best initialization point.
Every time I’m shown a community I’m totally uninterested I make sure to go in and block it from my feed. Likewise with aggressive or otherwise pathological users. It gets better.
- Comment on we need more users 6 days ago:
My two cents is that more users oughta establish new communities when they find the absence of one. Even if they don’t have the time to devote for moderating it, as people join the responsibilities can be allocated among the early adopters. Especially those with strong political and moral backgrounds (to mitigate abuses of power like those infamously cultivated over at Reddit).

I like this. It’s like giving ourselves the tools of power in case the people need to reclaim them.

The FOSS community needs to expand outreach to UX Designers then.

Can anyone tell me what Jim Rash has been up to in the past decade of so? I’ve got an itch for some Rash.

And remember: kink shaming is bad, but fetishization is also bad. 😮

Sam Jackson never did an in-movie ad for roast beef sandwiches.

I expected that to be another instance of The Simpsons did it first.

I expected Lemmy to be less repost-obsessed than Reddit yet here we are.
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 5 weeks ago:
If anyone’s interested, languages follow similar differentiation patterns as species in evolution. Ways this occurs include: allopatric (barrier separates past equivalents), peripatric (migration), and sympatric (subcultures), etc.
It’s the same reason Matthew Rhys can do a spot-on American accent despite having an outrageous Welsh accent irl: people are more likely to grow up on the media of more mainstream languge so it becomes the lingua franca. (love Rhys to clarify)
- Comment on I browse. 5 weeks ago:
That’s the founder of MS13 right there.

To those curious: Because some morel mushrooms can form a symbiotic relationship with sweet corn. (I had to look it up.)
- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 5 weeks ago:
PsychoWiz once told me that the scientific names of organisms are just letters and sounds, and have no bearing on physical traits or where the species was found. They hate linguistics and call it witchcraft.

The only one of mine I can remember was a mashup of the series Heroes and lemonparty. Highbrow stuff. It is where I learned all my editing skills tho. hehe

The first big meme competition I ever got excited about was back over on ytmnd[dot]com, whose name origin was of course Sean Connery in Finding Forrester inexplicably shouting, “youtube.com/…/UgkxYYH7dLJkROLWXycRUY-khtMVJvkjtNt…”

- Comment on Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes. 1 month ago:
Evidence that may contradict your claim is that the average worldwide IQ increases by 3 points every 10 years. So the species appears to slowly be getting smarter. Dumbness may just be more noteworthy in our culture.

- Comment on Love’s a two-way dream 1 month ago:
Agree to misagree. I think it’s a little funny to defend her name and then pull the rug out when describing how it’s appropriating an unexpected culture. I celebrate our differences.
- Comment on Love’s a two-way dream 2 months ago:
And unless I’m mistaken Bindi Irwin is Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s daughter. And her name Bindi isn’t culture appropriation of the Indian forehead adornment, it’s a celebration of the Western Australian aboriginal culture (Noongar language) word for “Little Girl” which they appropriated.

Was gonna comment you misspelled SOAP 🧼, but just in case I did a quick joojle and it actually turns out it’s “Android Open Source Project” (for any other newbs like me reading this).
