Yeah, that's the thing. Even though xBROKEx would probably win in court, it would bankrupt them in lawyer fees.

Should be fine up until the point where lemmy takes off. Then the meme/shit-posts begin. Reddit was pretty on topic back in the day when it was smaller.

People who back into parking spots: Why?
Reply in thread
When you’re leaving a parking spot and backing out all the same logic applies that these bozos use to justify backing in
I agree that attacking someone for their opinion is just silly but I honestly do not agree with this statement. People, and more importantly pedestrians, know what you are doing when you are backing into a spot and are therefore less likely to walk behind you. This is not the case when backing out of a spot. They might not even know someone is in the vehicle. Add in little kids running out of nowhere. You have a lot better situational awareness while backing in versus backing out since your field of view is not obstructed by up to three sides by cars. I do not think the difference is catastrophic by any means but, to me at least, there is a difference.

Can I seed on torrents I have not downloaded but have the files to?
Reply in thread
From my experience if you already have the files there it will just start seeding right away automatically once it confirms the files are already present. I guess it varies from client to client.

Yep, super annoying and you will get the same thing, but for Chrome, when hitting Google sites in Edge or Firefox.

Why are there so many stop signs on American streets?

Would have to deal with the four property owners on each quadrant of the intersection. Any one of them can stall the effort. This goes even worse in cities where buildings are likely close to the intersection. And yes, they should have built everything with roundabouts in mind in the first place. We focused on cars when we built everything but made poor choices which hinder future changes.
So that along with all the other red tape need to go through like environmental studies and such make each update to a roundabout somewhat daunting.

So how are you all liking it so far?

I think the biggest criticism is the pricing, not the existence of the cash shop. It is using the Apple model versus the Walmart model of pricing targeting the whales which is probably more profitable. Like you said, it does not impede gameplay at all though it is always somewhat concerning to see such an emphasis on a cash shop for a product that is still in beta. I will continue to play and see how it goes.

I have not seen the need to manage multiple accounts so far. I am logged into thelemmy.club but am subscribed to lemmy.world which works fine since it is federated. I am able to reply to you from thelemmy.club. Most of the content I follow is from other (non club) servers and have not had any issues interacting with people.

There was a period where you could not find the 3000 series NVidia cards unless you went prebuilt. Other than that, I agree, always built all my machines after my first 286.

Does lemmy.world really have 28300 users already?
I would like to know how they managed to register. I tried since Monday, kept getting the spinning circle on the Submit button, and finally created an account on another server.

AITA for asking a LLM to do things that are supposed to be my job?
NTA, you are just using the tools available to you to excel at your job. I am sure you have heard the saying by now "You will may not be replaced by AI but you will be replaced by someone who uses AI".
Soon, anti AI people will be seen similarly to those who refuse to use computers.

Know what I don't miss from reddit? Every other post with "1 comment" but it's just fricking automoderator
r/NeutralNews and r/NeutralPolitics were both bad for that. They had two auto-posts and, since I am slow, I clicked on them every time to the comments just to see the boilerplate auto-posts.

Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

The web is federated in theory but that does not stop the larger companies from monopolizing the traffic. Think of Reddit, Google, etc. as a federated instance of the WWW.

I think this is where I lucked out when I had so many issues creating an account on lemmy.world. I ended up making an account at thelemmy.club instead and it seems I can see and respond to all content from here so far.

This has been my experience as well. I had to clean bathrooms for an amusement park and the women's bathrooms were way worse than the men's.
