Same. I worked in an electronics store. This was one of the manufacturers where products broke so often we had a separate bin for their broken products.

But it was also one of the “refund anytime, no questions asked” manufacturers where we could just say how many value of products we got returned and they would just refund the amount to us. No pesky RMA process, no repairs, just take it back whenever the customer is unhappy and throw it away.

Everyone’s saying the need to sleep. That goes a bit too far IMO. Who knows it would work out as we think it to be? Maybe the 33% we sleep will just be reduced off our lifespan with nothing won.
Also, honestly, even if that wouldn’t be the case - I wouldn’t want to not sleep at all. It’s like a regular break from life. Even if employers wouldn’t exploit this, I don’t want to be awake forever.

Now, here’s my proposal: We still need to sleep, but we can control falling asleep and waking up like it’s a muscle. Lay in bed and fall asleep anytime. No more falling-asleep issues for anyone, no more sleepless nights.
And also, we’d have a perfect inner clock and the ability to choose when we wake up. Fall asleep at 11 PM, have to get up at 7? Great, you know exactly when 8hrs are over and are able to just wake up, no alarm needed.

Yeah that or aliens.

Huh. Thanks for answering. But this kind of breaks the intentions of a federated construct, doesn’t it?

In the worst case, I’d just block people from that instance, but not defederate it. That way my users could still interact with their community but their users couldn’t disrupt my instance.

Many smaller instances have defederated from lemmy.world, for example

Why?

Idk if hangovers are more intensive for me or if I’m just overly sensitive, but I’ve stopped getting drunk simply because of hangovers. I’m just past the point where the upsides of drinking alcohol aren’t worth the intensity of the hangover after it. It’s just not fun anymore.

And I don’t understand how people the same age as me or older still get wasted and just shrug at the hangover, if they even have one. I still drink alcohol rarely, but probably never get wasted at memory-loss level ever again.

I use it because otherwise I’d use ublock anyways. So it either does it thing and if not, it’s the same result as ublock.

This feels like reverse psychology on a little kid.

“That’s it, I’m not tracking you anymore! >:(”
“Oooh nooo, what have I done! Oh how much I would wish to be tracked :(”
“No, you won’t convince me to change my mind >:(”
“Oh well, guess I’ll have to live without being tracked, what a shame that is.”

In the short term, I would think so.

In the long run, it makes it less appealing for companies to advertise, because they would have larger costs while having less sales. That, in return, hurts Google as advertisers don’t want to pay as much anymore. If 80% of all users used this extension, advertisers would have to pay more than ever, while having only 20% of all users can be reached (simplified, of course).

Or in short, it’s designed to hurt the system as a whole, not specific companies.

I give donations, but way less than I’d like (less in terms of quantity of recipients, not the total financial quantity).

What I’d love (not only for FOSS, but also stuff like podcasts and other things I’m donating to regularly) would be a service where I can set a budget and select the software and tools I use and it splits it up automatically.

I don’t mind donating, but I hate managing it, having dozens of small transactions for it, and I feel like I’m forgetting to donate to like 90+% of the stuff I’m using. Also, with payment provider’s fees it’s often not worth it to donate <1€ a month, so bundling transactions would be way more effective - for me as the user as well as the recipients who’d get one transaction once a month from said service rather than hundreds of small ones.

I never really understood why e.g. Patreon doesn’t offer this. You can’t expect perks with this because the perks probably will start higher than what’s the breakdown of each recipient woild be at a reasonable budget, but the advantage would be that (mostly) everyone would get a piece of your cake, rather than like 5 of the 500 different creators/developers/… you’re using content/software of. Also, you could reduce or increase the monthly budget depending on your financial situation, rather than cancelling or modifying dozens of small subscriptions.

It usually relies on honesty.
If the vast majority of users is honest (which I would assume is the case in communities like this, because what big interest would men have in impersonating a woman just for answering to women’s topics) then you can have rules that you cannot really enforce. And you still benefit from them, I think there’s a lot less men posting with that rule than without it.

I admit that I just assumed that this rule would be in a place where you have to be able to see it before posting.

Now after your comment I’ve looked for it and the rule has only been announced in a pinned post. I agree that this is too hard to find; not everyone reads through every post in a community in case there are any rules for posting hidden in them (espefially when that post doesn’t even mention the words rules in its title). So I agree that this one’s on the community, thank you for clearing that up.

Inclusive doesn’t mean they let everybody in regardless

It does. I mean, if they not let everybody participate it’s by definition an exclusive community. In this case exclusive to women. Which is fine, but it is not universally inclusive (as the word “inclusive” without any further definition implies).

I get what they probably want to say - they include every woman, regardless of age/nationality, if it’s a MTF trans woman etc. But they could have expressed this better - i.e. “inclusive community for women” or something.

On the other hand, you’re supposed to read the rules when you post in a community the first time so this confusion could’ve been avoided by both sides.

Yeah, I assume if they took down Wikipedia itself then hundreds of copies would pop up all over the place, probably hosted elsewhere, and one of them would become the primary replacement over time.
Media might be lost to some extent, but I doubt there’s any way you can take the text/information/metadata off the internet at all, and that’s the most important aspect.

Took me a while not to read that as

The time has come to punish Orbán (and) Germany’s next(, some) government says

Falls ernstgemeinte Frage: Doch, natürlich gelten ausgeschilderte Limits auch für Radfahrer.

Es gibt Ausnahmen bei impliziten Limits (also nicht explizit zB mit “30” beschilderten Limits), zB gelten die innerörtlichen 50km/h ab Ortsschild nicht für Radfahrer. Andere implizite Limits wie Schrittgeschwindigkeit im verkehrsberuhigten Bereich wiederum aber schon.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the kid playing on the mat would be part of the print as well.

Der einzige Typ, der das behauptet, ist nur leider derjenige, der das dort hochgeladen hat.

Oh - ja gut :D das hab ich nicht gesehen. Mein Fehler.

“vnnd ihro” ist ja mal eindeutig Schwachsinn.

Deshalb schrieb ich, dass es so klingen soll, nicht, dass es tatsächlich mittelalterliche Schreibweise ist.
Keine Ahnung, mag auch tatsächlich KI-Kauderwelsch sein, sah für mich nur gewollt so aus (zumindest wenn man sich nicht damit befasst, wie damals wirklich geschrieben wurde).

Heute ist eh Sonntag, da wird das Carsten gelassen.
