You only dislike it because whatever bad app you're using to share them on doesn't support them.

Stop being the gullible fool and start hating the apps not the file format.

Edit: I also spot your .gif favouritism in there. .gif is an archaic and wasteful format, and asking for it is the same as looking at your car and whining that the fuel has no lead.

I feel like I should recommend Dwarf Fortress but I also feel like I should NOT recommend Dwarf Fortress.

Look, I'll just leave Dwarf Fortress here in the corner, peering into the room and the rest of us can try to ignore it. But it's there.

That's the neat part: We're all browsing the same content.

People who call this whole thing complicated are just, I dunno, incapable of understanding the concept of logging in? It doesn't matter what door you go in, it's all (mostly) the same room.

And if people DO start being problematic, reddit mods will just start erasing things by hand. They were spotted doing it last year.

Honestly, the correct way to protest would be to just spam KBIN and Lemmy everywhere in /r/place.

A truly logic system would be entirely designed around a base-12 number system. But we were born with an imperfect set of 10 fingers and that doomed us.

Those aliens have 6 fingers. It's an absolutely ironic twist that their discussion on measuring systems is super illogical for them, and yet logical is the verbiage they use.

Yeah, I read an article from someone explaining the actual user experience in Threads and it's abysmal. You try to curate your feed and instead of getting what you expect, you get content from the likes of people your followers followed followed and are left wondering who the hell everyone is. It's far from the type of setup you get on Instagram.

With that said, Threads had lost half its users ages ago. This headline is sensational, and the platform could easily recover. I don't want to give it much weight.

The first panel should have been the sun, and the last panel could have been the sun again. Thanks for all the low entropy energy rays Sun, very cool of you. All life owes you.

I mean, what makes something official in your opinion? I could just open one now and it'd be as approved as any other.

"Hide all American news" would basically fix 50% of the issues.

I read that this was stated entirely as a joke, and I read that 2 months ago in the middle of people looking for pathetic excuses to not stop using reddit.

I thought Lemmy would have stopped propagating it without a source.

Best idea so far, since it takes from Apollo for recognition's sake.

However, the logo is way too busy for the purpose it'll have: An App Icon. Logos in general are very minimized, and these details aren't readable at that minute scale.

I think somewhere, iterating off of this, would be the winner idea. At least, unless if someone wants to do something completely different off of the name, like a rocket ship or a boat, or something with a yellow disc like those ones the Voyager departed with.

It's a bad idea to assume everyone in the field is of a similar mindset and philosophy. There are a LOT of people who genuinely want to make the world worse and see things like adblocking as piracy.

In fact, I've met people who hate the concept of Open Source and want things to be closer to creative fields. They're shortsighted of course, greedy. But the basis doesn't change the outcome. Yes, it's blatantly their desires to "own" a piece of code the same way musicians often own a movie's score and get licensing fees on them that led that path. But they still walked it and they still exist and they're still out there, hoping for the day they get to go against you.

Politics aren't genetic.

But they ARE communal. Where you grow decides 90% of what you believe in.

It's actually why I disagree with the top comment chain that smarter means more left leaning. I think it's more that left leaning communities have better education standards and lead to smarter generations. Cause and effect reversed.

Both assholes. Their "are you sure OwO???" tactics is just typical assholery that I'd have straight up made illegal were I the FTC, but you did go in specifically intending to abuse them, so I would urge you to take the loss as some sort of "lesson learned tax".

Well, the loss of the first month, don't have them be entitled to more. Those three other months are assholery that should never be rewarded.

Edit: I also don't think this belongs in /c/Technology. There's asklemmy for this stuff.

What's with the boomer humor tier jokes?

The joke is literally wifebad. That's 60's newspaper novelty. People have lived whole lives and died since these jokes were new.

Seriously, 10 years ago, the best way to find any info on a video game was to go on gamefaqs, ign guides, the steam community or a dedicated wiki.

Nowadays, it objectively still is the exact same, but google will give results for NONE OF THEM unless if you specify. There's a truckload of those SEO garbage.
