As much as I'd love to jump on the "stupid Americans" bandwagon, this seems to be a big problem not only in America. After the reddit exodus and before I had a good setup for lemmy, I used Facebook for a short period. Most of my stuff there is from US, UK and Norway, and the number of people in the comments who can barely put together a coherent sentance is astonishing. Far below 6th grade level by any standard.

How long until Google says "fuck it" and outright starts banning adblock users? Considering how deep a lot of people are into the Google ecosystem, this is potentially devastating. Imagine losing access to you email, photos, etc., with no way to appeal. Good luck if you want to actually speak to anyone human at Google.

You can also use emojis in computer and user names in active directory. Trust me, the network guys love it!

I plead autocorrect, and that English is my second language 🤣

This method is far older than that, and it keeps popping up every so often as a "new" attack. First time I read about this method was in the early 2000's, and I'm pretty sure it been done before that as well.

CEO of Reddit

After the blackout, who knows, but once they paywall the third party apps I'm betting Spez and his "snoos" are going to feel it a lot more than a silly little 2-day blackout. For many, myself included, the official reddit app is not an option whatsoever.

Alright so this seems a good a place as any to ask dumb questions... This almost feels like the 90's and using the internet for the first time 🤣

So, I'm viewing this post on lemmy.world, but the content itself is from beehaw.org, simple enough. What happens if beehaw.org is unavailable, let's say permanently shut down, right now? Is the past content still available on other instances or does it just poof? Could I still view this post one day, week, month, year after a shut down? Could I still comment? The image itself I see is hosted directly on the beehaw instance so that obviously depends on a stable instance.

It's cool how most here seem to be older, I was almost expecting people to name drop Skyrim and make me feel like a dinosaur lol.

I used to love the text-based adventures, like "Adventure" and I believe one was called "Humbug". Even learned C programming at a young age in an attempt to make my own.

Enjoyed the Hugo trilogy too. Wasn't a big fan of side-scroller games but I fondly remember Secret Agent, Duke Nukem I+II and Commander Keen.

My real love was RPGs, specifically Ultima VII.

I was looking at this link which mentions no smiling and hair away from the face and forehead, but yeah yours is probably more accurate.

My daughter has a similar hair style and for her Norwegian passport she had to tie the bangs with a hair clip before they accepted it. Somehow I would have thought Japan would be just as strict.

Nicotine isn't the only addictive substance in cigarettes. As someone who has quit both cigs and vaping, it was by far easiest to quit vaping. It absolutely sucked - but nothing compared to going off tobacco. I still get massive cravings if I smell someone smoking nearby.

As much as I hate even mentioning them: Reddit doesn't have this function, and it's pretty much a given that if you browse "all" then you're going to eventually see stuff in other languages.

Unless some sort of function is implemented that recognizes the language the content is in, I don't think the language selection should be a thing at all. People are lazy, there's no getting around that.

Tbh you'll probably just want to just block non-English communities that pop up in your feed. There's no way to police what language people select when they post.

That's a really cool theory, probably the best I've heard! It's established that there is a limited range, and that transporting during warp is possible, but extremely difficult, have to match the other ships exact speed etc., though they technically aren't traveling faster than light but existing within a warp bubble.

Begynnelsen på slutten for /r/norge dette da, eller ihvertfall /u/arve og mod-teamet. Reddit har jo som kjent varslet tiltak mot de som velger å holde stengt.

This is so common that I've actually started second-guessing myself when I write '90s

I was taught that dividing the numbers naturally into thirds:

I  II III IIII (all I) 
V  VI VII VIII (all start with V) 
IX X  XI  XII  (all contain X) 

Visually looks more "balanced" than having an extra V

Må være noe forbigående, vi har alltid vært på (og toppet) den lista.

Det har lenge vært snakk om å forby disse, har de virkelig ikke kommet noe vei med det?
