Don’t worry, it’s going to be people that you swiped off, but they’re still going to show up in the “people who liked you”

OKCupid was a serious service 15 years ago. Now it’s borderline scam.

Be the change you want to see in the world, send an email asking for IPv6.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, it depends on how you see it), some providers are already on IPv6. My Italian ISP has IPv6 with CGNAT, so all its users are on IPv6 without even knowing what it is.

So similar yet so different :)

Yes, neutral and masculine were similar, and they just collapsed into one.

I speak Italian, which works similarly to French. The male form is called the “non-marked” form, while the female is “marked”. It means that if you use the female form, you’re actually talking about women, otherwise it may be anyone. So, the real inclusive form would be to just use the male form.

It’s because both Italian and French come from Latin. Latin used to have three forms: male, female and neutral. The neutral and male form were very similar, so during the evolution from Latin to modern languages, the two forms collapsed into one.

Same in Italian.

Italian is heavily gendered, even inanimate objects have genders. A chair? It’s a female. A door? It’s a male.

It’s not easy to modify a language; some people on the internet are trying using stars and other non-letters, but the result is ridiculous and nobody actually speaks like that in real life.

Recent versions of sudo changed that message and now I’m sad 😢

And this is how I discovered pan seasoning.

Given the recent horrible things about non-stick pans, I wonder if I should just buy seasoned cast iron pans.

Reddit used to be open-source, its code still archived on GitHub… then we saw what happened. They closed the source (de facto killing every small Reddit clone) and more recently they cut ties with every developer using their APIs.

I honestly see lemmy.world as a problem. Not as big as relying on Reddit source code, but still a problem. We need to prevent centralization as much as possibile, and one instance having >50% of all users is a bad sign.

Mobile apps (such as Voyager) let you choose the instance you want to sign up. I think they should incentivize instances that are not lemmy.world, until it scales back to a smaller size. Like some kind of rubber-band roulette.

We’ve come full circle. KDE imitating Windows, and now Windows trying to catch up with KDE.

Yes, you’re right and I agree with you. If OP decides to download it from the Play Store, however, he/she’s going to be disappointed when they remove the app and it stops getting updates, and then it breaks.

Hmm Play Store? That app is not gonna last, trust me.

Also, search on YouTube has been utterly broken for years. You get at most 4 or 5 results and then a random series of videos that are completely unrelated to my search query.

What if we stop using User-Agent altogether? It would increase privacy and prevent browser discrimination. Too bad for the Analytics services, but after all… who cares?

Rocking Firefox even from my Android phone. It works great!

I live in the EU and I’m happy we have it, because otherwise we wouldn’t have many consumer protection laws (either because my government is stupid or because we wouldn’t have enough leverage as a single country).

Many things we now take for granted are only possible thanks to the EU, like the 2-years warranty on electronic/household products.

No, tickets and passes for transit or events are exempt (I know it because I work in the industry). Unless they’re tickets for digital events (such as remote workshops), in that case you should pay the 30% fee.
