• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy your own domain and use it for e-mails (there are many providers that support custom domains). If your provider shuts down, just switch to a different one and keep the same address.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really possible to tax the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How dare you come up with a nuanced take on this topic instead of screaming “eat the rich”!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the situation is as you described, you are definitely in the right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are disabled people and the elderly going to survive another Trump presidency?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not how you demonstrate that you’re on the better side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you like/dislike about lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dislike: every post inevitably has someone complaining about capitalism, Trump, police, Musk, …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you weigh a boat precisely enough to detect a soda can missing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The number on this sticker...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Explain XKCD for this comic is gold.

  However birds do not use GPS to navigate, [citation needed]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are scammers getting my email address?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True. A more reliable way to achieve this is to buy a domain and use addresses in the form websitename@your.domain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because immigrant from, say, Islamic countries behave differently than those from, say, Vietnam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The unlocking flow is slower. With the fingerprnt scannerb I just put my finger on the screen and go. With face recognition, I have to turn on the screen, wait for it to pick me up, then swipe to unlock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do you even meet people anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In what settings is it socially acceptable to talk to strangers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I have an account on Mastodon.Social, and another account on PieFed.Social are they technically on the same instance, since they're both on .Social?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  .com is for commercial sites (though many sites misuse it). Most Mastodon instances are not commercial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are more straight men who want a partner than women, so someone will be inevitably left out no matter the amount of therapy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who used to visit incel communities (though I never supported the misogynist views), I think a lot of the appeal comes from the fact that they seem to be the only support groups for lonely men. Why aren’t there any non-toxic ones?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is everyone here leftist?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know. I’m mildly lefo by normal standards, a Nazi by Lemmy standards and a communist by conservative standards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be fine with hating fascists if the word referred to actual fascists and not everyone who even slightly disagrees with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being able to do what you want is a part of private ownership. Some people just like making their code available to everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And what are we meant to do about that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks. That was what I was looking for.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It does not give the exact answer, only an approximation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the General Consensus of Web3?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OpenNIC still seems to be engaged with blockchain bullshit: emercoin.com/…/2015-01-15-Emercoin_Reaches_Peerin…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a student, I unlock my laptop several times per day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are the languages that can be fluently spoken only if you are descendent of a particular community/country ?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see people accusing others of sealiening in order to dismiss their argument more often than actual sealioning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With updates built in!!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Time to use the Element Biocker feature of uBlock Origin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teams apparently can't call when using Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like your sarcasm detector is broken. Just like Teams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not using Chrome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How does Google know if you interacted with something on the page?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way this is spelled out really irks me.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There used to be a community for this on the website that shall not be mentioned. “Don’t Dead Open Inside” I think?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This person's rejection reason⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People: “AI is going to take over the world!”

  AI:

  That’s the same joke, but worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Captcha⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All the other ones are literally in the snow.
