This is a part of how any business is valued. You don’t just buy the building, stock, brand name, etc. You also buy the customer base. Any place you’ve ever done business with that later got sold, has made you a part of the sale technically.

For your health!

Not sure if it’s still the case, but I recall my instance had a phrase hidden within the rules page that you had to find and include in your application.

I think you have the right idea to put the NSFW content in a spoiler tag, but so is the text that is warning users that it’s NSFW.

There was a good point explaining how the invention of email made communication a more dreaded thing. When all you could do was send written letters, it could take weeks or months to communicate with someone on another continent. When email was invented everyone thought it would make life so much easier to get a near instant reply. But now some some people have to read and send a hundred emails a day. It’s the same with cell phones. A hundred years ago we mostly didn’t have phones. Then landlines became popular but you had to be home, also you had to memorize numbers or write them down. Now everyone has a cellphone where anyone can call you at anytime and any place. It could be work related, medical related, an old friend wanting to say hi, a tech illiterate family member asking for help, someone trying to sell you something, or any other kind of spam call. Phone anxiety is completely understandable.

Is 5 pounds enough?

I’m just quoting what the other user’s screenshot of the AI said. I wouldn’t assume it to be true lol.

Wafflestomping dates back to at least 18th century Belgium.

I vote that TSA just stands outside your house and puts you through that every day you choose to go outside. The rest of the world would be a safer place.

OP explains in the description why it starts with A ans not An.

You’re using PTO for a death in the family?

Almost as if OP is shitposting or something

I recently started looking into more decentralized instant messengers after being on signal for a year or so. I’m happy with signal but just wanted to look into what else is out there. I really don’t get why XMPP gets left in the dust. I see so much praise for matrix, but every public group ive joined is full of spam bots and racists. Simplex is centralized. Even as far as the fediverse goes, I would’ve assumed everyone here would hype up XMPP since it works similarly with the username@instance.com convention.

My understanding is the cup size is different because cold drinks typically have ice that gets added to the same amount of liquid.

I know i didn’t mind putting up with a lot of Window’s bullshit, but I’ll never understand why they removed the single button click to create a folder in the files viewer. They moved it to a drop down. Idk if I’m the outlier but 90% of the time I used file viewer was to create folders because it was just one click of a button, but they just had to take that away lol

I don’t think giving users the freedom to choose what they want or don’t want to see encourages anything. Some of us are here for the memes or literally anything other than politics. Everytime a debate about defederating comes up, that fact is the first thing everyone forgets about

Do you not think some people doomscroll lemmy, only reading titles and looking at image posts?

That was the original plan, but seems like they will create a web app some time down the road

They are claiming not to train AI using your videos/info theirselves. I don’t think it’s misleading just because other people can scrape that info.

I think its a valid example though. Sometimes poor people can save up to go out once and splurge on lobster. People tend to post the highlights of their lives on social media. I think the point here is to not buy into it so much
