I too am desperate for gestures configuration.
I have used swiping in Apollo solely to move back / forward and find myself accidentally hiding or upvoting things as well. Swiping from the left screen edge works somewhat reliably to go back, but still is very inconvenient because it requires such a precise input I am not used to.
Boomers say that because historically, with increasing age people usually also managed to have some things they might want to conserve, like a home and some financial assets to cover their retirement. I’m in my mid thirties and the only feasible way for me to ever own a home is inheriting one. My retirement plan is to die in the revolution. I have nothing to be conservative about

It is mostly serious. There is plenty of scientific evidence on how car centric infrastructure, city planning and policies have destroyed walkable cities and require an in proportion extreme amount of space and accommodations. Cars as a means of transportation are wholly inefficient, you could put several dozen daily commuters into a single bus, multiple times that in a single subway train.
The only space where cars are not short term replaceable to great improvement of the general habitability of the area is in rural regions where distances are huge, people are spread out widely and communal infrastructure is simply too inflexible to accommodate the needs of the citizens.
I think the 196 community is the originator, though I already didn’t know what they were about when on reddit, I mostly find their posts confusing. From what I understand the (only) rule is that the post title must contain the word rule.
How to get engagement on the internet:
post interesting, quality content ❌
post false information to bait people into correcting you ✅
There is also a release notes link next to each update, which I personally find more convenient
My biggest gripe is that the all feed is not actually the all feed from across the fediverse, but a feed from all instances your instance is federated with. I understand why that is the case, but the fediverse really lacks a way to explore beyond your walled garden and its natural bias. Essentially this acts a mandatory content filter that I have not set up or opted in to, which I personally object to. I have the tools to show and hide what content I want to see, I don’t need it pre selected for me. Or at least give the the additional option to see a feed of all instances and communities across Lemmy / the fediverse I have not personally blocked or filtered out.
As a bald and bearded dude I hate that this guy ruined the aesthetic. At least I have lighter hair color so it’s not completely terrible. Is this what men felt when Hitler took the stache and made it his brand icon?
I am still a bit miffed the name was changed at all, I liked the uniqueness of wefwef. The new one feels very generic in comparison
Just for clarification, why is him pocketing the American public funds supposed to go to nasa an accomplishment? he took something that every American shared in, even the whole world shared in during the space race, and made it his private plaything he can exploit for profit in the future m.
Eh. There are a bunch of other references to him even after Lorca returns to his universe. For example Tilly was on musk high school iirc.
I don’t think I was ever more ashamed and disappointed of trek than when they whipped out those lines, billionaire worship in a show about a socialist utopia. A fucking embarrassment
Interesting background knowledge that they were supposed to be gay, puts a lot of things into new perspective.
That being said, I don’t really like the idea, I enjoyed them as these unlikely but good platonic friends. I don’t think adding a romantic aspect to them would have improved their characters. For example Garak has many traits that could be interpreted as stereotypically gay, especially within the time period the show was produced. Him being a flamboyant and well spoken heterosexual works better to subvert cliches. Come to think of it, Bashir also isn’t the manliest of men. Which i also find more interesting for a heterosexual character.
Auch leider wahr. In einem anderen Kommentar hab ich es mit der Karnevalszeit verglichen: durchreglementierter und formalisierter deutscher “humor” den man eigentlich nur sturzbesoffen erträgt
Leider einer der Gründe warum ich die Community geblockt habe. Ist ja nicht nur ein beliebtes meme sondern ein gezwungenes meme, was das Ganze aus dem “möglicherweise lustig” Bereich in den “autoritär verordnete Lach-Stunde” Bereich bewegt.
This is a great point I hadn’t even considered yet, even though I am already very wary and sceptical of capitalism developing this next revolution.
How can the user possibly trust an AI that is for all intents and purposes a secretive stranger with an agenda and values you don’t know? Especially because capitalism will only develop a slave to their profits, they would never create an actual intelligence with free will the user could actually get to “know” and trust, it would never constitute a person in the philosophical sense.
The whole thing is creepy and dystopian come to think about it… we allow the worst of humanity to shape and bind what will essentially be a superhuman entity to their will.
You don’t need “an opinion” on that, it’s a simple fact for decades now. The polish people are largely devout christians, voting religious right wingers and populists into office. They in turn weaken the polish democracy to further secure their power.
Im a big Trek fan and don’t hate the name, but I found wefwef much more unique and memorable.
What is the reason you switched off that name?
You will need to make a new one.
Personally I recently did the same because lemmy.world didn’t commit to defederating meta and I didn’t want to stay there, but I am not very happy on .ml either, I get an insane amount of tankie crap on the all feed now and apparently no more nsfw posts.
I’m an anti capitalist myself but I strongly oppose the idea that someone preselects what communities are visible to me, on .world it felt much more organic and well rounded.
Ultimately I will just have to make my own instance i suppose.
Actually no. How the fuck do you piss not into the toilet while sitting? That’s the big advantage of sitting down, that and the extra comfort, you don’t have to aim.
The only times this has ever happened was when I was completely hammered and didn’t sit down properly.
Honestly I don’t even see how this is physically possible. Unless you literally do not have a dick there should always be enough - let’s say range - available to bring the urine exit point below the toilet bowl edge.
I feel weird writing this down.
