  Is it?

  I feel like people have had toddlers and dog bowls for a long time, and that people in the past have been ableto keep certain things away from water. Perhaps if you have increased opportunities to get the phone wet, you should take extra precautions.

  I’ve already read your whole comment. It’s not comparing apples to oranges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Optical illusions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s true, the faces are different. One is higher than the other, different beards, slightly different head tilt, etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly my point - And public help forums should be indexed, and should not be on Discord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is not comparing apples to oranges, there are many companies that use Discord as a direct replacement to help forums or product wikis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good.

  Discord is overused for help forums and wikis, which makes them extremely difficult to search and dependent upon third party software to be maintained. I hope this will force people away from that behaviour and back to good old fashioned messageboards that have been working just fine since at least the 80s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s wrong with good old fashioned data base backed message forums? There are so many implementations available, I’m sure many are FOSS, and I’m sure there’s managed solutions as well. It’s a mature, tested, rock solid reliable technology that has existed pretty much since the inception of the internet, and can be easily incorporated into other tools and workflows - because there is 40+ years of development work with the concept.

  Seriously, why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear you, but what about: it actually will be used for those things?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a disturbing amount of people thinking of the children

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think bolt cutters are faster though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually pretty happy that Discord is killing itself. Far too many people use it as an official platform for stuff like help forums.

  Maybe lets go back to basic message boards that are actually searchable, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What the hell are you talking about? The statement “Native Americans use the Three Sisters in the past” is a 100% correct statement. Just because it isn’t as precise as you want it to be doesn’t mean it’s not accurate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Start-up idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but that may be indicative of other safety issues that are not as obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Praise Be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, if the Biblical god existed, supporting or worshiping it would be an incredibly immoral thing to do. Yahweh is perhaps the most vile and evil character in all of literature. It’s hard to imagine anything more evil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Praise Be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No need, it’s already part of it and has been for centuries.

  Remember how the Catholic church raped kids and protected pedophiles? It’s not just Catholicism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If it gets too bad, just move on to the next thing.

  Internet forums have been a thing since for decades, and they will continue long after Reddit and Lemmy are forgotten

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m 100% certain Reddit also fully cooperating with them. They run CBP recruitment ads. Fuck them, fascist collaborators

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Start-up idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have an old Radio from the 50s - big wooden piece of furniture with a turntable and everything. The plug on that thing is absolutely terrifying, super flimsy and so small you have to almost touch the prongs to plug it in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No it is not.

  One person is talking about the past. The other person is talking about the present

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And thus is not a correction. It’s an added detail at best, or at least a change of topic. It’s not a corretion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, this map is reductive at best. Mostly it’s just complete bullshit though.

  You can actually just color in a map any way you want and claim the colors mean things, and odds are there are people out there that will believe you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use the the ‘right click button’ literally every single day. It’s super useful for not having to move between the mouse and keyboard for tasks.

  Also, this is on Linux, and I think it’s fair to say that the key has evolved to become a fairly standard part of keyboards and operating systems. Just because MS were the first ones to use it doesn’t give them some kind of say control over the idea, at least beyond the scope of their own hardware, and I don’t think anyone is arguing that they don’t have the right to change their own hardware. It’s just a bad decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So how would you handle this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Should” is a pretty big risk considering the consequences

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so it wasn’t even an added detail. It was changing the topic to present day instead of the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is true that Native Americans used the 3 Sisters. Which ones? Those specific tribes, apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not a correction, that’s an added detail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ente Auth is another choice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks 🙏🏻⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I’m over 40, so I know a bit about WW2.

  Mostly from the documentaries I fall asleep to in the afternoons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake moo⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get a lot of hamburgers from a cow, but only two breasts from a chicken.

  That means for every two chicken breasts you eat, one chicken dies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, if there are going to be consequences, I guess you have no choice but to comply.

  Grandad is rolling over in his grave right now.
