IRC still exists. You can just like… do it.

SMH damn kids don’t even know about the before times when leaves didn’t despawn on their own and minecraft cost less than $10

Another thing not being considered by all the “judge doesn’t know anything” crowd is that they’re failing to consider that this case isn’t really about search engines or Alphabet as a company.

It’s about monopoly laws. In this case, pertaining to Google and Mozilla, but monopolies nonetheless.

You’ll never believe who Oprah brought into the mainstream.

I’ll give you a hint: literally all 3 of the people being talked about (Dr Phil, Dr. Oz, and Jenny McCarthy)

You know, it’s really easy to look something like this up and determine that you’re incorrect.

A majority of Americans favor moving away from the electoral college

A surprise to everyone except anybody who listened to American intelligence agencies who were broadcasting (very loudly I might add) exactly when and how it would happen.

Severe anxiety and PTSD can qualify as disabilities, and therefore can have a service animal.

A service animal is trained to perform a specific task that allows a person with a disability to perform normal daily activities. For PTSD and anxiety this action can be (but isn’t limited to) detecting the onset of a panic attack and providing direct physical stimulation/grounding.

An emotional support animal is one that isn’t trained for a task and whose presence makes the person with a disabling condition better (e.g. someone with anxiety is generally less anxious with their cat around).

ESA’s are not protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (or equivalent in most other countries) while service animals are.

Also, a service animal can be any type of dog. Yes, even a pug can be a service animal if it is trained to do a task. No, training does not have to be done by an expensive service.

You wouldn’t download a car more RAM would you?

Between lemmy.world and sync having issues I almost went on reddit. Then I remembered this is the fediverse, jerboa and lemm.ee exist and I’m back and more active than ever.

One minute our content (through the API) is “very valuable” and “needs to be monetized”. The next we’re just “noise”.

Mostly I think it started as a show of how much reddit relies on the free labor while giving reddit an out, but as time goes on I’m inclined to believe it’s also because mods know that if they “abandon” the subreddit, the admins will just open the subreddit up to new moderators a la r/redditrequest

There are already subs that have had users request being put on as mod despite barely becoming inactive.

Jervoa has so far been a really good interface to use. A lot of work can be done to make it more friendly but I’ve been really impressed so far with how seamless it’s made my transition.

Think of lemmy as like an email (except everyone can see it). You have an email address “steakfries” and the domain you registered your email on “@lemmy.one” so if I want to email you I have to enter in @steakfries@lemmy.one

I can “email” you from any domain, be it Gmail, yahoo, my own server, etc and you can likewise respond.

Going to download my data tomorrow and delete my own 11 years worth.

Sad day, but also very cathartic.
