TIL I can edit post titles on Lemmy. This should prevent some pretty annoying and pointless arguments.

We can’t all be not American.

Due to the way Lemmy is set up and how people subscribe to communities, if you want something to have a wide reach, you need to post it to multiple instances of the same community. Similarly, if you’re trying to gauge, as I am, which of the 7 different “tech” subs or “news” subs actually has community engagement, you need to post to all of them. Interestingly, with the news subs, the ones with more comments are not consistent and not always the ones I expected. Also, the type of engagement varies from community to community so it’s pretty interesting seeing how different people in different instances react to the same article.

It’ll even out over time, but if you don’t like it, you can always block me.

Probably because it’s expected, it’s happening “somewhere else” to “minorities,” and the people being racist aren’t always using slurs. Same reason news outlets don’t really report on crime in known high-crime areas. Many people do not understand that these issues also affect them because it normalizes racist behavior, which in turn hurts the economy.

Oreo O’s. Easily the best.

A security camera is to document crimes and such, not to help you answer the door.

This really isn’t a helpful answer. People don’t get a Ring for the doorbell, they get it for the camera. This post is requesting a good private security camera that can also record and maybe allow you to talk to whoever is at your door. Your answer is the equivalent of:

Q: Gasoline-powered car - what are the easiest hybrid alternatives?

A: A normal goddamn bicycle

The problem is essentially how do you define ownership? Is there a right to not make something the copyright holder owns publicly available?

I think in the cases of abandonware or more recently the moves by media companies to delist certain media for tax benefits, there’s a good argument to be made over forfeiting the copyright, so it’s now public domain and fair game. But I also think for something like the Star Wars Holiday Special, where the creator/copyright holder (not sure about that status post-Disney acquisition) genuinely hates it and does not want it available to the public, the owner should be allowed to restrict access to it.

What’s crazy is even Instagram and WhatsApp don’t have this many permissions.

Medal of Honor. One of my first experiences with a single player FPS and it was just solid and immersive.
