You're an internet user.

Don't you know how much CSAM there is on the internet?

You make me sick.

Was that before or after he vaccinated his troops because vaccinations are good and help keep war-fighters in fighting shape?

I think they're in this post already because I did see someone using it earlier.

You used to see them in every thread doing it, though. I can't be bothered to confirm or remember their username.

It's like carrying a backup fire extinguisher to go with your fire extinguisher.

You'll probably never need one, and while it's not impossible (see: this incident), it's very unlikely that you'll need both.

I'm a one fire extinguisher kind of guy. That makes me far more prepared than 0 but not as insane and impractical as 2.

To me "social awareness" relates to how your actions impact the feelings of others, not so much the brutal math of the situation (which I would call Economics, which luckily happens to align with the empathetic angle in most countries).

I don't know J @jasonllevin well enough to make that assessment.

I guess calling it "social awareness" threw me off because to me that's something completely different from what I'm saying.

It's just basic economics (of countries whose economies are not based on resource extraction, which you can technically effectively do with a miserable and unhealthy populace).

Competitive shooters from mega-corporate publishers are generally the only ones who have a cow if they can't rootkit anti-cheat your rig.

So whether you're against oligarchs or against setting up a backdoor into your PC, you shouldn't be playing those titles anyway.

How is it that it took until 2026, nearly 100 years after the advent of the nuclear bomb, for school administrators to realize that not all technology is inherently good in every application?

Click/engagement-bait.

 

It seems like no matter how many times I set my language to English in my profile settings, I have to set my language to English when I submit any comment or post every time.

I don't know what happens when I just ignor that drop-down, but I'd like to avoid reinforcing the Americentric Internet issue where non-English speakers have to sort through a slew of posts they can't (or don't want to) read in English just because that's the default and nobody bothered to tag them.

Put differently, if say, a Spanish reader gets posts that are labeled Spanish as well as any post that are not labeled, there's a good chance the vast majority of posts are English, which is probably pretty annoying. I don't want to do that to people.

 

I believe one or more moderators of an instance are acting in bad faith. As I understand it, Lemmy does not have a modmail function to address the issue with the team, so I need to seek out the instance admin?

How do I:

  1. Find out who that is

  2. Contact them

I see no indication towards either on the community's side bar and I don't think there's a support@[instance] community.

 

Today, for the first time on Lemmy, I received a message about posting being forbidden from VPNs.

 

I can't find any specific Yes / No via search and my understanding is that's not really possible due to how federated websites work, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can give me a straight answer.

I had something I wanted to post that wasn't very relevant to any particular community, but more specific to me, kinda like a blog post.
