I disable it wherever native dark mode is supported but damn if I’m gonna blast my eyes with a white background awhen I’m browsing after 10pm

If you want to see dark mode everywhere: DarkReader

Note that it will slow down page render times

Valid criticisms tbh (I even could say the same as a day 0 account lol)

Moderation isn’t going to “improve” because they generally are fine with everyone being goofballs, so I wouldn’t expect that.

Some people have the cascade of shitposting and useless emojis coming with their crappy views, but I don’t think our instance is great at propaganda or ROE, which is unfortunate. Would love to see what we could do with a little discipline.

Also the emojis on every other instance and all mobile apps look more obnoxious because they don’t downscale to their intended resolution.

Yeah after looking again I noticed that 😅

All OSes have vulnerabilities, and the thing is MS Defender is a working solution that prevents many attacks. Microsoft also has to provide some nominal support to enterprise apps that are 30 years old, because that’s a significant amount of what keeps them in business. Patching actual root causes would often mean changing the way things work at a fundamental level in the OS, and would break apps for a lot of their users. This could create a big problem for a lot of people.

Oh shit I thought it was a shopped picture just for the concept

Yeah, quality of community over quantity, it’s a non-issue.

Yeah if that’s a bad vibe to someone Lemmy might not be the best fit.

The post got deleted and I was told to go to the other one. In the first one they were posting only news articles

Ill call it garbage reddit-brain moderation. The reason for an /ask~ comm is cause your main comm is flooded with repeated questions that would stifle discussion. It’s also not a good solution to that problem, not too mention they don’t have enough users to be having that problem.

The way you form a community is to discuss the same things over and over until a hivemind develops, it’s a good thing to have a group consensus, not that individuals can’t disagree. Now the crappy moderation is gonna cultivate a crappy subreddit vibe instead of something better.

My opinion has always been that NSFW instances should be quarantined entirely to their own “porniverse” or whatever.

And yeah this type of content (underage or pseudo-underage) should be banned entirely in all cases imo.

No, also which instance is that hosted on? .ml?

It’s possible for them to tell the computer to shutdown when the battery is getting low

Me too

you can’t try before you buy.

Most mail order mattresses come with a generous trial period. Not ideal though

One guy was so paranoid that he had a camera in his yard (out in a well-off suburban neighborhood) pointing at a public path that strobed and vocally warned you that you were being recorded. Totally unhinged

Stop by the news megathread sometime and see/ask for yourself. You probably won’t agree with a lot of stuff (and even that’s partly cause there’s layers of irony caked onto the walls), but it’s not quite as bad as you think.

I’m more annoyed with the people who reply to this low-effort garbage

I think they said that they specifically don’t want to tank the local economy, just the tourism sector.

A large tourism sector can be a detriment to a smaller city or town if the local people don’t have enough control or investment in the sector themselves.

It’s definitely good to organize, but if they are in the US, building publicly housing (an obvious solution) is illegal, so things aren’t straightforward even if you obtain some power.

We are talking local level. It’s actually possible to get things done, especially if you lay the groundwork and get some help. It doesn’t need to be OP getting in the door, just start small and eventually their org can get someone to step up and take a position of power.

It’s only smuglord-worthy if we are at the federal level imo

It’s just a messenger app. Whatsapp is probably used by more criminals on the whole, but there’s no reason for that to make the news
