This kind of thing is why digital privacy is so important. But everyone is like “i have nothing to hide from the government”

Yeah the $ implies the word dollar, in this case becoming “239 billion dollars”

I’m coming around to agreeing with you. But I feel like if I try to clarify and really understand I may end up offending someone. It’s hard to have these kinds of conversations online, with people who don’t know you or your intent.

I may be an imperfect ally, but I’m honestly trying.

The issue was the use of a specific word, that is now uncouth, but with which OP identifies. They claim to not know the word had fallen out of favor. Other than the word itself, I don’t think there was anything wrong with the comment they left.

Agree that it’s not much of a reason to avoid a piece of software. If anything an instance.

I don’t care to use it, so I don’t. And I’ll speak up when I hear people (tbh this is mostly gaming online) when I hear the word used in a derogatory manner.

Allowed? By whom? You know there are black people who abhor the use of the word no matter the person, right?

There are white people who use it freely, with black people.

I want to replace my iPhone 11 Pro bc the faceid scanner is broke. (Someone didn’t close the drybag properly and some water got into the phone through the earpiece)

But as annoying as no faceid is, I just can’t fully justify getting a new phone. I tried to get it fixed by apple ($550 for a replacement phone) and by iPad Rehab (said they can’t fix it)

So, idk….

This makes sense, I read somewhere recently that there actually is no evidence that people’s attention span is getting shorter, it’s just crap people say.

Why did you get banned? Did you post them to /r/Noise ?
You can’t just DoS their servers like that, but feel free to contribute noise to the appropriate sub.

Yeah, it’s hurts the users which hurts the company. Individual users are mildly inconvenience, but if many people delete posts Reddit will feel that cumulative pain.

I think the reported number was like ≈10% use third party apps.

The real question is how much of the best content came from those users, how many of them are moderators, and how many will leave. Bc those people will have an outsized impact on the website.

There was a really solid tower defense game on fdroid that I played a ton when I had an android

Funny, but for real, we didn’t fish them out. They were there one year, and gone the next. Thoughts are they migrated somewhere deeper due to changing water temperatures.

Lol, agreed, some typos are not a problem. But other times, words like to/too, I read as completely different words. And often, that “typo” (I think people honestly are just using the wrong word, not mistyping) will require me to

1. Read
2. Recognize the error
3. re-read knowing that there is an error

Which is aggravating.

I’ve known so many people who are so into anime, and every now and then I give anime a shot bc they keep harping on about show x or y. 9/10 are just so full of cringy sexually repressed representations of women/girls and interactions with them that no quality of other storyline could make up for it. Other times, the ‘fan service’ is more manageable. This real, personal experience definitely taints how I initially perceive anyone who brings up anime.

I just dislike people typing to when they mean too. And enjoy reading some etymology from time to time.
Does that make me a linguistics enthusiast to?

I think I’m gonna use kbin, seems more featureful, including good integration with the fediverse.

@fox

Also, I can see this at https://lemmy.ml/post/1167451

where its a reddit-style post with the title “@asklemmy”. While on kbin.social it appears more like a twitter post, no title.

@Starfish

Appears that microblog is referring to mastodon content (twitter-like fediverse program). kbin seems to put relevant (unknown mechanism) mastodon content under the microblog tab of a “magazine” (subreddit analog)
