Shouldn’t. It served as a warning.
I was the 16/m… and I certainly experienced a small part of it.

If it helps, part of that joke was that it should always be assumed your 16/f/ca was always 43/m, and it had a bit of an “I am Sparticus” feel to it.
On the Internet, we’re all 16/f/ca.

If you try to say 16/f/ca (as was the meme), the app censors it.

Neither. It was something else. (Likely fake).
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 2 weeks ago:
Seems like it’d be a good place for the last 50 years of gains in efficiency to go.
Time to start taxing the rich instead of worrying about taxing per worker.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 2 weeks ago:
We just never get to retire. workers per retiree over time
By 2030 it’s projected to be 2.0 workers per retiree.

They also didn’t tell the hospital when they brought her in.

The safest way to do this is to add your off instance account as a moderator.
If I see a mod that hasn’t been active for a year, I’m probably not going to reach out before removing you. It’d be nice and I’ve done it in the past, but it’s a lot of maintenance overhead when we have as many abandoned communities as we do.

You can make an alt account, as long as you’ll get notifications from it.
You’d just apply with your main account and name your alt. Both can be moderators, but afaik only the one on instance gets notified of reports properly.

I’ve been dual booting Pop_OS from time to time, but it’s missing three of the most important applications I use.
Unfortunately, I do still play League of Legends pretty regularly. Maybe that’ll change when WoW Forever comes out. Maybe. People seem luke warm on it.
Microsoft Teams certainly isn’t native, and Omnissa Horizon Client (VMWare RDP) says it works… but only really works on one monitor in Linux.
Between those things and already having everything set up in Windows, it’s hard to find a reason to keep booting into Linux. I like the idea of it.

Hi, Serinus here from the Lemmy.World Community Team. We, along with admins, are responsible for finding mods for communities and trying to ensure that existing communities follow LW ToS.
You’d be surprised at the number of people who daily participate on Lemmy and actively post in a community yet say they don’t have time or interest to moderate something like !economics
It’s much easier to just take existing mods who are willing, able, and quality mods and give them more communities that no one else wants. I try really hard not to do that.
If you have good activity on Lemmy (usually 3+ days a week) and are interested in adopting an abandoned community, please do let us know.

You let people record, generally. At least for the hostile interaction part.
Her response wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty decent for being on the spot. Easy to pick on things with hindsight.
- Comment on Y'all might not be ready for this 4 weeks ago:
1995-2005 was all about Chatrooms (AOL, IRC, AIM) and easily social media. 2015-2026 is all about Chatrooms and social media being taken over by corporate interests, state actors, and political public opinion manipulation all posing as the AOL, IRC, AIM era.

Wouldn’t ten make more sense?

Either that or they’re exceptionally desperate to make a distraction.
All of this shit is less believable than the oil crisis and the price of food.

I, uh, know people who have done that.

Why?
To me it’s the option that’s important. Doesn’t mean you’re obligated to use it preemptively.

The neolibs are not responsible for the majority of our problems.
Their biggest crimes are Israel and not being aggressive enough on changes. They’re not the ones preventing most of the legislation we’ve tried to pass, such as the public option with the ACA.
- Comment on So sensible 1 month ago:
If only.
They’re not targeting people. They want to kill them all.

The ratchet effect is real, but it’s because when the Dems have a majority they’re relying on West Virginia. Republicans kiss the ring or they’re kicked from politics, just look at Ted Cruz.

“A bunch” is roughly three. Sinema, Fetterman, and, uh… I’m sure there’s one more.
It’s easier to stop things than to pass things. You’ll notice Republicans aren’t getting a lot done right now, exactly. At least not through Congress.
They’re doing so many blatantly illegal things, largely with the blessing of the DoJ and the Supreme Court. But they can’t get the SAVE Act through to stop us from voting.
It turns out every bit matters.

Wait, what is this? I think I somehow missed this one.

Competition is so rarely a thing though. The barriers to entry are significant enough that if you actually go through them all… why wouldn’t you just price shop and then charge about the same as your “competitors”? You don’t need to talk to effectively collude.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 1 month ago:
It doesn’t really matter whether it’s modern or intended or accidental. The point is that it’s best that the people making the decisions are educated and informed, and that takes time. That takes the kind of time that makes it a full time job, not one you can do on the side.
And yes, I understand that current representatives spend most of their time trudging up donations for campaigns, but that’s less than ideal. I might even argue that makes the idea not modern at all.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 1 month ago:
The other point of representative government is that the people making the decisions can spend the time to research what they’re voting on.

No one should live under 24/7 surveillance.
