How is it possible that roughly 50% of Americans can’t read above a 6th grade level and how are 21% just flat out illiterate?
If you don't understand, start walking further away from the cities.
If you still don't understand, you're not done walking.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?
I didn't leave to make the service worse.
The service got worse, and so I left.

Disapproval of Elon Musk is top reason Tesla owners are selling, survey says
Decades of traditional automakers sabotaging the whole concept of EVs should make them the bad guys when it comes to EVs.
Elon has managed to make them the good guys.

Musk is undeniably just trying to run twitter into the ground at this point.
Anyone still on Twitter at this point is getting what they asked for. It's like you drove past every "last restroom for X miles" sign, and now you're in the middle of nowhere and have to piss.

People tend to overrate the harms from potential changes, while simultaneously vastly underrating the harms that already exist that they’ve gotten used to.

Would you use teleporter technology if it existed? Why or Why not?
Assuming we're talking about our reality, this device is getting made by a corporation who will release it as soon as the potential profit exceeds the cost from its non-zero error rate.
No, I'm not getting into some Musk 2.0's shoddy body disintegrator.

What does Bluesky have that Mastodon doesn't?
You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

On the future of Lemmy vs reddit
Lemmy has enough user activity to fulfill my time-wasting needs.
There doesn't need to be one website that EVERYONE is at. The Web didn't used to be so damn consolidated.
I don't give one shit about "Lemmy vs. Reddit". I care about Lemmy having active communities to engage in, regardless of what is happening on some other website.

Baldur's Gate 3 Review Thread
As someone that was a late teenager during the run of Infinity Engine games, and then witnessed the subsequent consolization and decline of CRPGs... seeing Baldur's Gate as a CRPG again and having it be a marquee AAA-caliber release is kinda mind-blowing.
The 2000s were a mistake, and so much of modern indie development is about undoing those mistakes. "Boomer" shooters, immersive sims, CRPGs, point and click adventures? All back on the menu, baby.

Instance Blocking - Unlike Mastodon, Lemmy does not provide a feature for individual users to block an instance (yet).
This is the real problem.

Thier only issue was with not telling him about it.
That was a legal tactic. It doesn't mean that was their actual concern. It means it was the best counterargument they could come up with.
