agreed, I don’t feel I’m missing out on anything here, although obviously I don’t know because I don’t have an account on another instance
although if I joined the threadiverse now I would join an instance that also supports following microblogs, i.e. a piefed or mbin instance, probably will do that if I ever have a reason to abandon this account
I have used both in the past, but now use neither of them, have been exclusively a KDE Plasma user for several years by now and no longer feel like trying much different.
GNOME 2 was the first DE I ever used on GNU/Linux, so MATE has a nostalgic feel to me. I do not think Xfce is very radically different from it in its functionality, although the default configuration is somewhat different. This is really mostly a matter of personal taste.
I learned Latin in school for several years; I only learned to understand and translate it, not actively speak or write it, and have by now forgotten some of it.
I do not know any Ancient Greek at all, I might recognize some words from other languages.
but it was trash at loading html websites
as opposed to websites written in excel 2003 format or what
And when do you think he started to know what he was doing? 2017, 2018, 2019, never? If not in any of these years, then why would he know it in 2025?
It isn’t November 2016 anymore. Trump has been president before and whatever you think of his first term, you already know (roughly) what tends to happen when he is president (if you are too young, there is a near-infinite amount of news articles, social media discussions, wiki articles where you can look it up). I somewhat understood fears like this in late 2016 when a Trump administration was an unprecedented phenomenon, but now?
no, just like we didn’t (and still don’t) call what was happening a few years ago “the first COVID-19 pandemic”
Things like that aren’t a feature of the terminal emulator, but of the shell. Try to find out which shell you’re using on Android, maybe try using that one on desktop too.
Most countries consider this “private copying” which is legal. Not a lawyer, you should check your country’s laws.
Unethical? Copying is not theft.
You could try creating an account on kbin/mbin instead of lemmy, my understanding is that that gives you the “threadiverse” and the microblogging fediverse on one platform, though I have not tried it yet.
On Lemmy you can only follow communities, not individuals.
They’re a lot younger than me too… but I was on the Internet, including in some mostly-adult communities, at 16 too (not so much at 13). Many of my formative experiences took place there and so I see absolutely nothing wrong with what they’re doing.
I don’t have a “main social media app”. I use Lemmy and Mastodon on mobile; Reddit and Facebook only on desktop.
You’re living under a rock, aren’t you? I keep reading about it nearly everywhere, way more than I would like to.
It’s a microblogging platform, i.e. replacement for Twitter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky
WordPress has an ActivityPub plugin. I suspect you already know about it.
Some months ago I read about something called “Ghost” which either already has or is planning to add ActivityPub integration.
I’m here, I don’t answer to anywhere near all questions I see though.
I don’t think so. This is just shitty website design on the part of the website developers. They aren’t links, they are elements with click handlers on them, so the browser doesn’t know what to open.
On some websites it works if you click one part of such an element, eg. the text.
No, you can’t go to real court. You’re actually kinda getting at something more serious: This is true for all crimes. Especially also drug crimes. That is why the prohibition of drugs causes violent crime: the only way to enforce contracts over illegal drugs is through violence.

Both houses were all-Democratic from 1975 to 1978, then more and more Republicans were elected to them, only from 2011 do they have a majority.
Many state legislatures in the Southern US (e.g. Alabama) had Democratic majorities until 2010.
It seems to be down right now but a long time ago I read http://lawcomic.net/ which I found interesting.
