If you want the Lemmy experience pre-Reddit exodus minus the communism, this seems like the place. Lemmy was less than 200 people at one point, look how we’ve grown.

- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 1 week ago:
Your comment highlights one of the difficulties I find with going between treating someone exactly as you would anyone else, while also dealing with particular sensitivities or sensibilities of that person. Even trying to describe how to be less offensive, includes wording that can sound offensive to some, justifiably so based on experience.
But all in all, I think most people will recognize good faith efforts and accept quick apologies and corrections when we make mistakes. We’re not perfect.

I think if you want more sympathy from Lemmy, you’d frame it more like “Hell yeah, someone published a video on how to pirate my videogame!! If you like it it’s on Steam/itch/GOG/wherever too”. Your screencap being fake or not.

I drive newer cars occasionally as part of a carshare program since I don’t need one for a commute and I live somewhere in North America that transit actually functions.
I do appreciate anti-rear end features but it’s only activated once on a bridge since I’m usually leaving plenty of distance in front. But holy cow, the nagginess of some features can be beyond the level of your average backseat driver.
Yes car, I know I’m on the shoulder because it’s a mountain pass and tractor trailer’s are roaring down in the oncoming direction. Yes car, I see that the vehicle in front of me started moving, but I’m not going to follow them left turning into traffic because of it you bonehead…
- Comment on Scientific conferences are leaving the United States amid border fears 1 week ago:
The US “America First” policy really seems to be to purge its own reputation and effectively sanction itself. If the Trump admin doesn’t want expertise, there are plenty of conference locations across Canada and elsewhere in the world.
Sidenote: ooh cool HTTP response 303 in the preview!

The Not Found error page did not want to give you up, nor let you down.
- Comment on I can't believe this is a real article. Just wow. 1 week ago:
Lol. But the overall point is, regardless of whatever you believe in, the common theme of moral teachings is to be good to others, not how many hours you should work or how many times one should be beaten for a transgression. Anything else gained from religious text or tradition is a speculative interpretation brought from the ancient to the modern context, and should be taken and understood as such.

- Comment on Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No. 1 week ago:
First video was from somewhere around Toronto, Canada (my guess is Mississauga). Some places have very unclear signage of when bus lanes are active, when they’re not, disappearing in and out of existence sometimes, but that was a clear red lane that combined with lane data the Tesla’s camera based navigation system should have been equipped enough to handle it…
Sucks for the driver letting Tesla net him a fine and demerit points.

If Americans want to mold themselves in Jesus’ image of Christian perfection, the rich men in the world have to give to the poor, aka eat the rich.
Matthew Chapter 19, verses 21 to 24
Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me." When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Welcome! Thanks for the suggestion, I’m happy with having multiple sites and not one team having absolute say on content over the rest.
- Comment on Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade 2 weeks ago:
- Creative Club software subscription
- Create tiers to segment what people are receptive to being squeezed in order to maintain all features
- Add a premium currency in addition to the subscription for AI features
- Make tiers of premium currency that can be used for some features but not others…
Did an AI make this pricing strategy with the aim to double and triple dip on their customers as much as possible?
- Comment on $$$ave dat money 2 weeks ago:
It’s typically a US chain practice, but I see it in Canada since we have plenty of Walmarts and Costcos and the like here, I did see it at Hudson’s Bay do it on at least one occasion. Not sure about Europe, not common in Japan since their return policies are different and final sale products tend to use a sticker instead.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 2 weeks ago:
On lemmy.ca we have semi-active Hockey pages, especially due to the playoffs, check out !hockey@lemmy.ca, and some of the team pages get occasional posts. The advantage of being a lemmy.ca user is that you will encounter small sports team and small Canadian city page posts more often in local feed.
I think before a Buffalo Bills page takes off we need a relatively active American football page. But sports commentary is not very intriguing to me and feels very formulaic: “Go [team name] Go”, “Coach [name] sucks”, “Next season we’ve drafted [name] to our team”, etc. etc.
- Comment on $$$ave dat money 2 weeks ago:
Serious answer: Many stores have their price end in 6 or 8 to indicate items that are final sale. So it is clearance as in they don’t want it back, but really the price didn’t nominally change.

Sure the two top admins have some shitty opinions, but they still are the main people who have put this software out. The two have been tirelessly working on it for years and years, and have made code that helps everyone, whether you share their opinions or not.
