I think a large part of your experience is that you buy quality products. Shitty tablets from brandless Amazon sellers are absolute dog shit. Most tech, like everything else, is you get what you pay for. There are obvious exceptions for early adopters.

I recently took over as webmaster for a small local charity, basic website, some backend things to sort, no big deal.

But they’re on a .net and I asked why? A previous webmaster let their domain lapse 10 FUCKING YEARS AGO, and one of those squatters grabbed it and has been holding it ever since. They wanted like $10k to give it back so these people just made a .net

It’s fucking ridiculous. I set a timer to try and grab it next time it expires, but I’m assuming they have their renewals automated.

Dry? He’s ground up the taxidermied corpse into powder and created a firm pudding with it without even attempting to hide the flavor.

I’m pretty sure mine are based on my physical location and not me. Walking sticks, supplements, glucose monitors.

It just felt off to me at first but your deep dive is very impressive.

One day old accounts tend to raise a flag for me recently. There’s been no mass migration event and they’re pretty common for whatever reason. Voyager, the app, shows account ages so if I see one in c/all I tend to call them out.

If you’re legit, you’re legit, I’m warning others to take your opinions with caution.

Not disagreeing, just pointing out to other that your account is less than a day old and should be monitored for intention. Specifically if it’s trying to provoke or inflame US political tensions.

But he’s going to explain them and move pieces around while assuming you have some context to the interconnecting actions. Just try to follow along. You know what? Maybe it’s easier if you just watch him play a round.

They still exist, but it’s not the cultural phenomenon it once was.

This is how it looks on Voyager

I think they do this to make accounts look legit when they are astroturfing later.

While I agree, they’re doing it to make the account look legitimate for later use.

I think one day old accounts should be banned in TIL… It’s clearly a karma farmer who is reposting stuff they know we like to hear.

“I’m 39 and a single dad to three girls with special needs, but five years ago I quit my job and started pursuing my lifelong dream of being a game developer. This metroidvania styled RPG with roguelite elements is my dream come true. Here’s a short clip of the gameplay.”

Shitty 8-bit sprites jiggle on the screen

Reddit: OMG! I’m literally crying right now as I buy this. It’s so good!

That day you learned a very valuable lesson about permission and forgiveness.

It’s just really refreshing instead some knee jerk, “You don’t know their situation shit for brains!” It’s measured to highlight a flaw in the core logic but civil in acknowledging the truth in the nuance. I hope we keep it! Lol.

This is like the fifteenth time I’ve seen this and it seems unique to Lemmy. You contradict their main point, but concede there is a reasonable undercurrent. I like this a lot. It makes the internet feel a lot less toxic.

Thanks to you and everyone else doing the same!

The decreasing life expectancy is largely related to obesity though. There are a lot of obese people who find reasons to blame other than their own self determination. If corporations have made it easy to eat yourself to death, people shouldn’t just let them get away with it by eating themselves to an early death.
