I don't think posts on reddit ever actually show less than 0 points no matter how many downvotes they get. Comments do, but posts always bottom out at 0 as far as I know.

Rose, because she clearly wants to be painted like one of your french girls.

They sure are racing to the bottom as quick as they can huh?

Futurama. Without a doubt.

YDIFRC (You do, in fact, remember/recall correctly.)

See, I don't agree with this analysis. It works fine for your pretty straight example, but that's because Straight is already as straight as it can be. Something can't be extra straight. But if I were to say something is pretty cheap, I would actually mean that it's cheaper than I would mean if I just said it was cheap. Generally when I use pretty to qualify something, it's in relation to my preconceived notion about something, and that's typically made obvious by the tone of my voice as I say it.

You know, I went into this movie with low expectations, but it's actually pretty good.

but if I had just used good in that statement, it would be indicating nearly the same thing, but with a little less emphasis.

Arch.

One day several years ago I had to replace some hardware and the copy of Windows that I had installed decided that I was no longer authorized. I got fed up and left Windows behind for good. For a few years I had Manjaro installed, but eventually I needed a change and wanted to start fresh so opted just to go straight to Arch.

Don't worry, I already know I'm wrong. The graph on this post clearly shows that I'm wrong and in the minority. But that doesn't really change how I interpret it. I almost used Pretty Bad as another example that I think many would have agreed with, but didn't end up doing that.

I've always considered pretty good to be a positive modifier on good, making it a little better than good. Not much, but better nonetheless. I've never really understood why other people consider it to be worse than good.

RSS isn't specific to Lemmy. It's a standard that has existed for a long time. It stands for Really Simple Syndication (or also apparently RDF Site Summary). It's a way for websites, blogs, link aggregators, news sites, anything really that has content that updates, to provide a simple, platform agnostic method for users to subscribe to that changing content.

You would use an RSS reader, or maybe some software that isn't specifically an RSS reader but supports RSS subscriptions (Outlook is an example of an email client that you can add RSS subscriptions to), then your RSS reader takes care of fetching updates, and you have a perpetually updating feed of your subscribed RSS content in one spot. An RSS feed item usually has a link, some text, and sometimes other content. So you can read a summary, follow the link to read the whole thing, etc.

For Lemmy, you can subscribe via RSS to your Subscription, Local or All feed, with whichever sort you want. But you can also subscribe to specific users' comments to be notified whenever they make another comment.

It's different for different RSS feeds. I haven't tried the feeds on Lemmy, but I would assume that they contain a link to the post, plus the content of the text for that post if there is any. So you could read the post and decide if you want to click through to interact.

I just had a quick look at what's included in the Lemmy RSS feed. Each item in the feed has a Title, Link and Description. The description appears to give a summary of the post, the number of comments and upvotes it's received, and links to the content.

The core concept for RSS to understand though is that an RSS reader is a link aggregator where the links come from different feeds you subscribe to from all over the net. If you see an RSS icon, you can copy the link and past it into your reader to add a new subscription and be notified when there are updates without having to visit the site in your browser unless you see something that interests you and you want to click through to read and interact with.

I've been actually hit twice by drivers that didn't look right before turning into a lane going right. They looked left for cars, but never bothered to look right again before going. Both times were minor and I wasn't hurt, but I was pissed off as I was on the sidewalk both times it happened.

For a serious answer, you can upload an Avatar in your settings if you navigate there in your browser. You can also upload a banner, presumably for your profile, but I don't know, I haven't tried it.

Yes, they knew that, you described it fine. They were asking if Window's equivalent, PowerShell or CMD is preferable. Though they fail to realize that most Windows users will never need to use either of those tools under normal operation, even if they could choose to use them to simplify some tasks. The terminal in Linux is encouraged, whereas equivalent(-ish) tools in Windows are optional and really only required for Sys Admins.

Here's a clickable link that should work on everyone's instance as long as it's not blocked. /c/[email protected]

Multiplayer games often use a third party anti-cheat software. Some of them work on Linux, some of them don't. What the previous commenter was referring to specifically is that some anti-cheat, like easy anti cheat has been updated to work in proton, but it requires that game developer push out an update to enable that functionality. Some do, and some (Bungie) have outright refused to do it, and even threaten bans for players that try to play on Linux.

If I understand correctly, and it's possible that I don't, the All feed will only show posts from remote communities that at least one user from your local instance has subscribed to.

I believe this is why the front page will suddenly be filled with posts from a new community, it indicates that someone in your local instance has subscribed to that community and that community has started pushing out posts to your local instance.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Thank you for this comment. That explains what I've seen when trying to do relative links to help people out.

I tried to search for the community from lemmy.ca (that's the instance you're on right?) and couldn't find it. Perhaps lemmy.ca can't see the community yet. I don't know. I still don't know how all this federated stuff works yet, I've only been here a couple of days.
