The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.

They’re both so overrated.

Chopin, Liszt, and Debussy are where it’s at.

Hmm, who has better information about COVID… the CDC or Fox News?

Guess which one conservatives believe.

Gonna sideload cocaine while I mainline heroin.

Seriously, Adobe is up there for having some of the most anti-consumer product policies ever.

They’re a shit company that deserves to die.

Oh gross. Yeah, that’s not okay.

Thanks for the clarification

Why is someone using Outlook to sync a different email address?

Why not keep the apps separate? Or use the Mail app built into Windows?

Seriously, someone explain the use case here because I don’t understand. If you’re using an outlook account, MS already has all that stuff. And if you don’t have an Outlook account, why are you using Outlook?

You have to go to Cuckr for that.

Like Tinder for married couples.

Kids hunting for candies and adults having an excuse to throw parties is the main reason people enjoy Halloween in the US too. Of course, the season of scary is a ton of fun too. It’s the only time of the year that everyone goes all-out with horror movies and haunted houses.

My wife and I are planning to move to the Netherlands by 2030 and what we’ll miss most is Halloween and Thanksgiving. We love the fall season of holidays in the US.

We’ll definitely host some American-style Halloween parties if the neighborhood would enjoy them. And decorate our home outside if that’s allowed.

“Your hands look weird in all your photos, what’s up with that?”

“…I have a condition.”

In all seriousness, it’s just called a post now. Elon threw away the incredible brand recognition of “Tweet,” the noun/verb that every tech company wants. It’s like if Google stopped wanting people to use their name as a verb and just go with the generic “search” term.

I’ll take a “Y’all” over “Yous Guys” any day.

Sure, they’re incredibly dangerous. But they’re still way less dangerous than cars. I’d rather be complaining about ebikes injuring people than the countless deaths caused by motor vehicles.

Ebikes will need some regulation to limit speeds, of course.

I’m not assuming anything about how you parent. I’m making a suggestion based on the content of the post.

Roblox is probably not a good thing for children and as a parent, you should take certain things away from your kid if it’s not healthy for them.

How is that controversial?

Gambling, sexual content, addiction, violence.

Just because it’s a mobile game doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. You must have seen mobile game ads across the internet for ones with sexual content to try to lure people into using them. People blow tens of thousands of dollars on these things.

You shouldn’t have to convince your daughter of anything, unless she’s an adult.

You’re the parent and you know so much better than the child what is and isn’t good for them. It’s good to give them decision-making freedom, but sometimes you have to step in to stop them from engaging in unhealthy or dangerous behavior.

The weirdest problem we’re going to have is that AI could get really good at faking consciousness. It could merely be mimicking consciousness based on how it’s learned consciousness should look like, but is really just regurgitating information.

So how do we tell the difference between “real” consciousness and mimicry?

Do your blue light filtering glasses have magnification? Because magnification can definitely reduce eye strain by helping your eyes relax on close screens.
