I popped over to Reddit for the first time since third party apps were cruelly shut down. It’s clear that Reddit has sunk to new lows. Obviously trolling and a marked decrease in the quality of content

That seems typical of the selfish nature of the world today (not your fault). But in ten years time you’ll have forgotten some of the details. In twenty years time some of the people in the photo won’t be here anymore and you’ll enjoy looking at them. In 40 years time your memory will be hazy. In 80 years time you’ll be a memory, someone’s old relation they only remember from photos.

It’s because the im isn’t a prefix but part of the word. (It was originally spelt empeche)

Every single person who I’ve known or seen with a foldable Samsung has a prominent fold (enough to lift the top layer of the screen) or crack.

The tech just isn’t there yet.

Im afraid Liftoff! has not been actively developed for a while and is incompatible with the latest versions of Lemmy.

This is the best news.

I’m relieved Tom is okay.

Thank you, great albatross and everyone else who has put so much effort into Feddit UK

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. I was talking about this with another dog owner.

People haven’t trained their dogs to walk at heel.

You often see owners being almost dragged along pavements with the dogs on the road side.

Dogs on a long leash while near a road or people.

Etc etc

It is, check the OED.

He’s too vain to wear spectacles so he squints. Combined with the way he screws his face up like a child it makes his facial features look smaller.

The first few episodes Mariner was written as hyperactive and overbearing to the point of being off-putting.

But they responded to feedback and wrote her differently going forward and seem to have made some edits to earlier episodes.

It might be worth seeing some later episodes once it got settled in.

I’m much older than you and quite like the word which is why I used it.

I also think that sort of gatekeeping of words is another sign of the decay of society. People used to enjoy new words being coming into use but now they are ‘dumb’

It’s not cromulent and doesn’t embiggen the soul.

We have a friend who does this. To the point of bleeding. It is a recognised medical compulsive disorder condition (a desire for perfect skin so you want to remove the imperfections which makes it worse and so on)

Please do see a doctor. They won’t think badly of you and can help.

I didn’t enjoy firefish, it was buggy and seemed to have a lot of gatekeeping.

Also, an old person. I think the difference this time is twofold.

The people in charge are clearly crazy and in some cases unwell. The general enshitification of life. Ordinary every day things are much worse but more expensive.

I agree it won’t end but society as we knew it ten years ago (a hope that the future would be better, the big problems could be tackled) is finished.

I think Worf mentioned this in TNG

Surely that depends whether you’re in the vehicle (and can see the lights) or an observer outside of the vehicle

I agree mostly.

Putting basic safety features behind a paywall is a poor decision.

To be honest, thinking that eg UK users will pay the equivalent of $37.50 is just madness.

Basis becomes Bases Crisis becomes Crises Oasis Oases Echolalia Echolalies Etc Generally the vowel becomes an e

1. Some people prefer pages to scrolling (it’s amazing the strength of opinion about this for either point of view)
2. Advertisements are charged per impression. So each page counts as a new impression
3. Be grateful websites no longer auto scroll web pages
4. Some things lend themselves to page by page. For example very long articles (this is why books replaced scrolls)
5. Be grateful that websites stopped animating page turns etc
6. Sometimes web developers don’t care and just use a bought in package

I think it depends on several factors:

In most jurisdictions time has to be allowed for the lawyers to examine the judge’s decision (if a judge has made the determination m) in order to decide if they want to appeal. Remember in some places the prosecution can appeal if the defendant was find guilty but not in all counts.

If a jury made the decision then the judge also has to consider sentencing guidelines and weigh the evidence to determine the sentence. This might involve medical reports etc

In some jurisdictions both parties need to make a case for a particular sentence.

So in many cases it’s not as if nothing is happening.
