do people use usb for printers? my hp works fine on ethernet or wireless, no cloud required. SmartTank 7605. It’s a great little printer.

Always ask for an upgrade, especially if you’re above base level on their rewards scheme. I got heaps of Emirates upgrades to BC doing this. Also, I once had my seat double booked on an a380, was a great economy with good leg room. If this happens, and the plane is at full capacity, don’t fight for your seat. Arrived at seat, taken, check boarding passes, double booked. I told the lady to keep the seat, called a flight attendant over to sort it out, BC upgrade right in front of her!

people forced onto the streets, drug dealing, won the lottery… lotsa reasons!

Apple don’t let you change app icons outside of the app? I’m not sure what’s stupider, apple or Reddit. On Android I can set my icon to whatever I like in my launcher.

I like the user interface of kbin, and I just hate the name lemmy. Only one thing in this world should be called lemmy.

Meh we already have /m/kbinmeta and redditMigration.

facebook groups really killed off long term availability of information. If you want true niche communities, and easy to find information, you have to go looking for true old school forums (xenforo, phpbb, vbulletin etc). so many forums I used to use had a mass exodus to facebook.

Reddit doesn’t really help either, it’s still centred around instant gratification and doomscrolling.

Just look at say one of the largest woodworking forums (www.woodworkforums.com), vs /r/woodworking. The forums are full of subforums so filtering information is easy. Default sort is by newest response, so if you bump a week/month/year old post, it will get noticed. The combination of easy to find information, and the display mode reduces duplication of information.

Whereas /r/woodworking is mostly just a showcase of work, minimal conversation, and minimal advice. It might as well be instagram. If you respond to a 2 day old post with a question, good luck having anyone even read it, let alone respond.

A lot of forms ceased to exist after facebook came along, or at least exist to the same extent. Facebook groups are horrible. Searching for information/help is so hard, no one does it, so you get the same questions over and over. it’s easier to post your question, wait for a response, than it is to actually search for the same question that was asked just the other day! My other issue with facebook groups is there are so many of them (I am in three or four for once hobby). You see a post in your feed, accidentally cause a feed refresh, and do you think you can find that post again? nigh on impossible.

I’d love to see kbin/lemmy introduce a solid tagging system, or sub communities somehow so information can be stored and accessed in a meaningul way.

eg
/m/woodworking/furniture
/m/woodworking/tools

etc etc.

another +1 for kbin. I dislike lemmy from a desktop persepective.

just create your communities here in the fediverse. If they get populated, then you will be able to assign mods from your userbase. You’re preaching to the un-convertible over there now.

What happens if you spell address correctly?

because this isn’t old reddit?

On kbin it’s actually a cross between old and new reddit. new reddit a link appears below the title when reading the thread. kbin the title is the link, but only when reading the thread.

I actually liked new reddit in compact mode, so used it that way since it was available, so not really much of a change. I’ve been using old.reddit a bit since this whole event, and it was so weird having to click on the comments to go to the comments, rather than the title of the post!

Either way, people are going to find it different.

Federers. But only if your first name is Roger.

if you subscribe to the infinite universe theory, there IS a reality where skunks are called stink badgers. There’s also one where they are called Dave.

I wonder if their community vote will hold up in a court of law? I can’t help but think that yay@lemmynsfw is out of their depth here…

You can see she’s very obviously not a child once placed in context.

err… are we looking at the same picture?

The question isn’t “do you find loli offputting” it’s “do you think this should be illegal”

no the question is “Is the sexualised depiction of children illegal in your jurisdiction”. To which the answer is yes, yes it very much so is. You can argue semantics till she’s 762. To the average person, that is very much so a depiction of a child despite whatever some lore states on a twitter image. and if that is getting sexualised, and you think that is ok, then the moral corruption is within you. Its just that you can’t see that from within.

problem is it also comes up in /all. which is the default landing page. So yeh, you have to reactively block communities, which still leaves you open to exposure unfortunately - lemmynsfw will certainly not be the last nsfw instance. not particularly nice when you’re just browsing /all when family walk in the room and there’s several thumbnails of females in compromising positions on your screen.

probably @kbinMeta

just out of interest @Otome-chan@kbin.social, in this pic (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FeOCDVuVIAElq8s?format=jpg&name=large), how old do you think hayase looks? Keep in mind she is 42 (I guess that’s what that number means, either that or she is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything. So what would be your stance of sexualised images of that character or a similar one? See, thet problem is, all your justifications come from within your lolita community. Not from outside the community, which is ultimately who you are judged by when this shit comes into thte public sphere… So you can go around in your little bubble thinking everything is ok because your are surrounded by other’s who justify it. Until it becomes public and you suddenly expect people to accept your justifications.
