I honestly think it’s a good sign for the development of Lemmy to read guys like these!
- Comment on A Little Shoutout 5 days ago:
Haha thank you! It seems to be a very resistant plant. I guess it could be a good idea to put it into a more sandy soil. Regarding the sun - it doesn’t really strech towards the window, it just seems to have no real grip in the soil and just “lays down”.

I have one of the living stones t the bottom right in flower pot. Sadly it grows really weird and doesn’t look so cool anymore then…

So if it wasn’t AI generated it would be a serious thing?
- Comment on Are display sizes always measured in inches? 6 days ago:
It is also measured in inches in Europe and it is weird. Electronics get sold globally and I guess nobody wants to discuss a “139.7 cm TV”.
It’s a magic number though and I cannot imagine the sizes. I just know that 55 is bigger than 49. It is the same with phones, where it is much less important as screen ratios “get improved” every year and the diagonal means basically not much. - Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 1 week ago:
Just wanted to say scheduled signal message. Had this some weeks ago and it drove me crazy. Glad you found out by yourself!

Honour killing is such a rare thing, I find what you are saying blatantly racist tbh. Do you know how many Muslims there are in the world?

I found this repo with a Rust tool to auto remove comments. I have not tested it though: github.com/skullgiver/lemmy-comment-auto-delete
- Comment on Should I just lie on job applications and say I have a college degree? 4 weeks ago:
Totally depends where you are. If you apply at my work place you will need to send your graduation certificate with your application, which you would need to fake. And I would not recommend to do that, as it can get you intro a lot of trouble.

- Comment on I'm sure it's just a coincidence that everything that can be wielded against them either just isn't implemented (good mod tooling) or doesn't work properly (user/instance blocking) 4 weeks ago:
With Voyager it’s possible. I blocked ml long time ago
- Comment on Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t the whole reason why we use the fediverse in order to prevent information being filtered through Big Brother/Big Corps, etc.?
Yeah that’s why reasonable instances defederate from lemmygrad & co.
I think educating the average person that news sites like RT and Sputnik are owned by a foreign state is a better approach.
That’s not how it works. The average person is dumb as fuck and they need to be protected against disinfo. Also RT is not just “owned by a foreign state”, it is 100% state controlled propaganda, that is deliberately spread in the west to influence the public opinion.
Also, as an educated person myself I do not want to skip through 10 websites run by the Kremlin until I find a good result.
Why don’t we start delisting Fox News and other conservative media while we are at it?
I am all in for that! As far as I know Fox is not run by the white house though, but I am not from the US so I am not sure.
As long as there is not a good alternative for corporate search engine as in similar to the fediverse, we have to work with what we have.

I mean this post is up for more than a day, you could have read some of the other explanations, as yours is pretty poor
- Comment on Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN 5 weeks ago:
To be honest, I absolutely agree with them. I read the whole article and I do not see what is wrong with these statements? Russia is flooding the web with disinformation, we need to do something against that. Fuck the conservatives, Fuck Russia in particular, Slava Ukraini!
Weinberg’s tweet announcing the change generated thousands of comments, many of them from conservative-leaning users who were furious that the company they turned to in order to get away from perceived Big Tech censorship was now the one doing the censoring. It didn’t help that the content DuckDuckGo was demoting and calling disinformation was Russian state media, whose side some in the right-wing contingent of DuckDuckGo’s users were firmly on.
DuckDuckGo spokesperson Kamyl Bazbaz told Recode that the decision was simply about doing what a search engine is supposed to do: ensure that users were getting the best results for their searches. “Sites like RT and Sputnik that deliberately put out false information to intentionally mislead people directly cut against that purpose,” Bazbaz said

What happened in 2022?
- Comment on Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN 5 weeks ago:
Absolutely! Especially because the map is always broken on my phone, I want to move the area and end up somewhere hundreds of kilometers away. I guess it’s time for a new search engine…
- Comment on Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN 5 weeks ago:
It seems to depend on the country, if I set US or Germany I get the MSN results, if I set Spain I set none…
- Comment on Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN 5 weeks ago:
All of them are. See that colored butterfly next to the name of the news agency?
- Comment on Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN 5 weeks ago:
Look at the small logo left to the name of the news agency. All links refer to msn.com.
