It also funnels down to freedom from bureaucracy too. Look at how hard it is in many places to legally build a non-fancy home on your own property. Endless restrictions, regulations, permits and inspections. Nobody is trying to free us from this.

What would your angle be? I feel like even with Portal 2, they were starting to exhaust the really cool possibilities

Have you ever tried Kagi? It’s pretty interesting and I’m giving it a shot.

Forums were great but the friction to find and join new ones was very high.

Right, why would I bother with the reddit IPO? IPO pricing is all over the place. If I want it - I don’t - I’ll buy it day 1.

If these movies did not make money, they would not get made. Maybe other types of movies would get made, and maybe they’d be better, but the big budget movies that do get made are to make money.

Start trying Linux now using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). It’s a great way to dip your toe in the water, and your computer can run it today.

Whatever most people in real life would say is moderate.

Cool. Can I ask you one more question? Can I comment on Beehaw (or lemmyNSFW, but I’m at work so not going there right now) using this account I have at lemmy.world? The reason I ask is, I see that I can comment on other lemmies (e.g. lemmy.ml) using this account, but only if I find them through lemmy.world’s communities|All tab. But I don’t see Beehaw there.

Or more basically, in general for another instance running Lemmy, how do I access it using this account at lemmy.world?

Thanks so much…

Good to know! Are there other Fediverse sites with different moderation practices? Like what’s an example of one with a VERY strict policy, and what’s an example of one with a very loose policy?

Unsure if trolling or not. Yes, you have the power to choose what you view online.

Some instances defederate from others, and you want to make your community somewhere where you agree with the moderation policy.

Is there a way to easily see which instances are defederated from others (or conversely which instances are connected)?

What does defederation imply? Feeds aren’t aggregated, or users are not allowed from the other instance?

Also one other major question. I thought lemmy was its own thing, but I guess it’s part of the Fediverse? The Fediverse is just a set of protocols? What is lemmy then?

Thanks. Is lemmy.world the best instance for general discussion?

I’m sorry, you’re confused about this. People with money are not driving the behavior of the hottie enjoyers. It’s the reverse. Joe Everyman is willing to give his attention to hot women, and Instagram is profiting off that.

Images of women dominate social media because men with power (and money) tend to like looking at them

Lol you think all the horny 20 something dudes salivating over Instagram hotties have power and money?

It’s easy if you pay attention at all times. Do not fall into your ingrained habits. If you stay focused, especially while turning, you won’t have a problem.

I have never driven a manual on the wrong side. I wouldn’t do that. I would rent an automatic.

I haven’t looked into it, but there’s got to be some open source firmware for a lot of these TVs, right? To improve the UI and remove all spyware and bloatware?

I legit don’t know how binding arbitration can be legal.

Agreeing to terms of actual usage of the product, I understand. Like for a pogo stick, assuming your own risk of injury.

But I don’t know how they can legally just say that suing is impossible.

Heterodox, not unorthodox.

Yes. Defense is important. Pacifism is unworkable in today’s geopolitical sphere. Weapons create peace.
