Breaking news: It appears that mosquitos have dreams … dreams about conquering spiders and humans alike.

And what are you ? Some statistics wizard ??

Explaining is not forgiving.

Drunk drivers do not have the reaction and focus span to make that sort of choices when they are driving through people, you know. Generally you tend to avoid pedestrians until the end, because even without paying for child support it’s not a good outcome. And the trolley problem never happens in these cases, because there is almost always the option of trying to brake.

I never really understood the concept of ChromeOS. Is there really such a use case of a computer entirely dedicated to running Chrome ?

People claiming a dish should not contain this or that ingredient do not have any creativity and are the type of people who would have never invented their recipe in the first place. So don’t listen to them and keep making good cooking.

Or something like that. Selling the antidote for the poison you created.

Redirecting twitter.com to another domain is not an impossible amount of work. What takes time is changing every references to the old domain name.

99.99% of the users are in the USA

are they

Always glad to see some people can burn their money like this

I suppose it’s also a remnant of the reddit community. I agree it sounds weird, but it was also the result of the limitations of Reddit. I don’t think you could easily create a tag for each country, and even then, it wasn’t user friendly to filter them based on your preferences. So because of this, and because r/politics was already US only to begin with, it was just the easy solution to get every other news content.

I don’t want to launch a petition to be honest, I just wanted to see what the other members of the instance thought about it (mainly because I wondered if Lemmy.world was in fact mostly composed of US members). I agree that a community should not be renamed/removed if it does not break any rule or do anything that deserve such a treatment.

As I said in other posts, not all communities on Lemmy.world must be international, that would not make any sense. But I would not create a c/photography community and ban any non french content for example. If a community is specific to one country, it’s a reasonable approach to say it in the name if any member of the instance has not more chance to belong to this country than another.

From the Lemmy.world description:

“A generic Lemmy server for everyone to use. The World’s Internet Frontpage Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use.”

And the logo is an earth. It does not forbid any community restricted to one specific country (neither should it, it’s perfectly normal), but it sure isn’t specifically tied to the US. I think a fair comparison would be if c/politics was China content only, that would looks weird too (even more so because of the language but well, surely you get my point).

Well I’m not really the kind of person to follow these communities anyway. What I pointed out wasn’t a community with a majority of US members (that is no problem whatsoever), it’s that the rules strictly enforce US content. From what I understand from the moderator’s own post, it’s a moderation issue (which sounds okay to me). I was just highlighting the inconsistency between the choice of the community name VS what Lemmy.world tries to encourage. But it’s not the end of the world.

Yes it’s not a space problem, space in the fediverse is near unlimited. It’s about following the philosophy of Lemmy.world I guess.

You’ve probably never eaten a real good pizza then

And that’s good. No more “subreddits” monopoly. If a mod or mod team goes against the will of their users they can just move on another instance without needing to use another name (and it’s easier to find afterward). As a user, you just need to subscribe to these redundant communities (or not if you don’t care about federation but if not why are you on Lemmy) and it will appear in your front-page as if it was one and only community.

Safe in limited amount, so just like normal sugar then. Just don’t drink liters of soda each day. (Or even better, don’t drink soda but water instead)

Kubuntu 14.04 burned on a CD my brother gave me when I started studying programming. Switched a lot along the way and ironically ended up on Kubuntu 23.04. I love KDE.
