Aa!

This is already a thing that happens currently. Some admins/moderators don’t like being downvoted and ban people for “vote manipulation” because they vote on things in their feed.

It is leading to exactly that, where people are worried that using the voting system as intended will lead to exclusion from participation in some communities.

Anything vaguely circular must be a butthole. Radial symmetry isn’t found anywhere else in nature

You end up with echo chambers by blocking people and communities you don’t like.

Downvoted content is not only still visible, half the sorting options ignore it.

This is terrible advice

Most humans aren’t hunters at all

Doc was a physics nerd from the 1880s into the 2010s. He didn’t do cli, he did lower level than that.

From a project management perspective, if this feature was causing frequent test failures and required extra developer time to regularly debug these failures, then removing the feature is cheaper than maintaining it.

If very few people use a feature that has a measurable maintenance cost, then it would make sense to remove it.

It seems unlikely that new features or updates would affect this one, but we don’t know. It hardly seems worth lamenting though, since we’ve already left Reddit.

As someone who has had 8 different cats over the years, I can verify this is not necessarily true.

In my experience it usually meant the cat preferred running water over standing water in a bowl. Sometimes it meant the cat didn’t like the size or shape of their bowl.

Sometimes it means your cat is a defiant nut who doesn’t like things you put out for him, but will gladly drink out of the dog’s bowl, a glass of water, or the toilet.

“The Good Place” suggested that what you have done is less important than what you are currently doing to improve as a person.

You may never erase the your moral failings from the past, but as long as you are still trying to be better, that’s what matters.

Gelsinger was hired as a known long time engineer, rather than as a business expert. I would trust his numbers from an engineering perspective, even though I was laid off under his rule

Sounds like Snakes on a Plane to me. That’s precisely what I found fun about that ridiculous film

I’m my experience the scaled sort just has the same problem only the opposite. You end up with a feed full of mostly brand new posts in empty communities.

Either a dozen posts by a moderator of one community, or a single user posting the same thing to a dozen vaguely related communities.

A mild headache is not even an inconvenience in my experience, so “suffer through it” is hyperbolic. As I said, they are most often caused by not drinking enough water, and drinking more water will usually resolve it anyway. If you want to drink tea instead of water, it’s basically the same results, but it’s the hydration that makes the difference.

If it is more than a mild headache and actually bothering me, then I’ll go for a proper pain relief medication. I keep that on hand for that reason.

Well I just suffer through it if it’s just a little headache. I’d rather not use any medication unless it’s actually hindering my ability to be productive.

The majority of the time, a headache like that is caused by not drinking enough water in the first place, and that’s always a better place to start

Lots of things from nature are not going to be good for you simply by being natural. And most medications come from studying the effects of things found in nature on biology.

I’ll use treatments and medications that have studies backing their health impact. Occasionally those may be herbal supplements for better nutrition, but most herbal remedies that we know actually work are just a less effective form of the refined medications and treatments that have been developed. If the medication or conventional treatment is readily available, I would pick that first

And “alternative treatments” are nearly always complete bunk.

Which leads me to wonder what they do that test for. You failed, and they just… Scratched their heads in confusion?

Wouldn’t this be an indicator of a neurological issue?

It upsets me, how many people spell his name wrong.

But Mister Rogers would let it go.

I’ve said before, but part of my biggest gripe with Lemmy is the process of curating a decent feed. A lot of new users will see the mess of posts in All, including political extremists, an ever growing list of fetish porn communities, and bottom of the barrel shitposts, and they won’t be interested in spending a couple hours blocking and subscribing to things before the feed is usable.

One way to address this is to give instance admins better tools to curate a default subscriptions and block list for their users. Allow admins to create what they think is the most accessible feed, but also allow users to customize it as they see fit.

Stop fucking Larry

People mention eating it whole… I at least shave the hair off it first.

Ask a project manager

They sometimes do
