I feel bad for the employees who have to clean that mess.

especially because 1) it will be trashed again in 30 minutes, and 2) they get paid crap

that would be a really cool trend to start

well, it would be very geeky, but still cool

PRECIOUS!

well, I appreciate that ❤️

setting up the whole coin system would create server costs. you can already donate.

thanks, but…. aren’t you glad it doesn’t have that useless crap?

where I live + self-identifier

cool, thanks!

I’d offer some suggestions re: adding search and sort, but I’m not familiar with the api (and I’m about to go to bed), but best of luck!

how tf is it missing the #2 lemmy instance but somehow has every other one? also, so search, so sort…

not to mention, there’s no link to the site here

edit: these are fixed!

good start!

I’m really not experiencing that— because there isn’t The Algorithm feeding you Content™, lemmy is more reliant on you subscribing to specific communities and for them to be active. Personally, I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, but, likewise, I get a lot of active content. Im able to, in a satisfactory way, replicate the experience that I had on reddit— minus 99.9% of the toxicity and hostility, of course.

You may simply find that it’s a mater of fine-tuning your experience here, although the platform itself is still improving. I remember Reddit in its early days, and it, too, took time to improve.

oh, I’m so glad I could scratch that memory itch!

it was a problem form another time. but, honestly, I’m so glad to be able to answer a tech support issue from, what, 20 years ago? yay!

I worked for Dell tech support in the 90s. sometimes that arcane troubleshooting knowledge still comes in handy!

It’s possible they had a dead BIOS battery, and whenever they had to boot up, they had to reset the BIOS clock, or the system would go haywire thinking it was Jan 1, 1992 or whatever the default date was.

the core message of Star Wars has always been antifa. that’s, like, the whole point of the entire franchises, lol

DAMN GOOD

That’s why he’s so keen to get Saw Gurrera on board. He knows he’s a provocateur and and extremist that will absolutely get the Empire’s jimmies rustled. Not to mention the whole stealing a quadrant’s-worth of payroll.

Gibson was correct about much of our education system and Galileo was certainly right about the consequences of overvaluing mediocre wit that merely happened to well-timed. what neither of them had to content with, however, was the internet and how social media can combine the inability to reason critically and mediocre wit with crippling insecurities and anti-social personalities to what should be predictable results.

a least Gibson understood that a technocratic future didn’t imply that people’s lives would necessarily improve.
