Not during class. Most likely a proctored exam. No laptops, no phones, teacher or proctor watching.

Reddit kills awards and coins
Reply in thread
Not honouring anything. Admin says that even the display of them will be gone. So everything people "bought" will be gone in an instant.
judy-funnie: "The visual awards themselves will go away, however any award karma from the award will remain."

New logo and we're two months old today!
Honestly, the old app logo was better. This doesn't look professional.

How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
Reply in thread
The name absolutely matters. Federation blah blah doesn't matter what instance blah blah and all that.
But regular people will flock to a "normal" or "official" sounding name and url. I won't be surprised if lemmy.world becomes the defacto instance

That makes way more sense!
The only roadblock I see is how difficult it is to follow communities outside your main instance. It would be nice if there was a log-in-as option so you can easily subscribe if you come across a page that isn't a part of your instance. Right now you have to either search it on your main, or copy the url over (which I've seen doesn't work all the time, but could be because of server load.)

And in several years, electric or hybrid vehicles will be the majority.
I know we'll need a new car sometime in the near year, and I've already set at minimum to get a hybrid.

Arthur C. Clark once said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". What technologies do we have today that would look like magic to people from the past?

Wireless phones were around in the 60s. Probably not many people would see them, but may have heard of them at least. They were usually only installed in cars.
