I remember reading that Loops (? - may be wrong about which one) does the same thing, only displaying statuses with videos in them. I have not, so far, seen anyone claim that that is a bad thing, and frankly don’t agree that it is. If we can’t do that, then we can never have specialized platforms built on ActivityPub, e.g. platforms only for videos or for photos, etc., and that would severely limit what we can do with it.

I wish my own city’s airport were that well connected to the city.

What would be interesting is whether there are any countries that voted differently from what they currently do (ie countries that have the death penalty but voted for a moratorium, or the other way round).

Then no one can cross the tracks there at all anymore.

What does that even mean…? If you know of something specific that is superior about analog compared to digital clocks, I’d like to hear it.

That’s what https://lemmit.online/ is for reddit to Lemmy, https://sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/ for Twitter and apparently also Instagram.

One problem with this is copyright; if it’s OC images or text posts, it could infringe on the original poster’s copyright. Not a problem if it’s merely sharing links.

Plenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I’m concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it’s a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.

No, this is false as far as I can tell. I am willing to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable but my understanding is:

Communities are implemented not as hashtags, but as special users who “boost” everything addressed to them. That is why Lemmy sometimes gets posts made on Mastodon that mention a Lemmy community. It doesn’t always look great: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/45785836

So communities and hashtags aren’t the same thing. In particular, communities have moderators who can remove things or ban people. Hashtags don’t.

It is a feature of Lemmy that all new posts (not, AFAIK, comments) also get the community name added as a hashtag. This is what OP was seeing and serves to somewhat increase the reach of Lemmy posts. But you can’t follow microblog hashtags on Lemmy.

My city’s zoo currently has cheetah cubs and a few weeks ago I was able to observe live how one of them chirped. Usually they’re quiet, but it’s really cute when they do make sounds.

Are these the same as these cuties? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2133886/Still-wild-The-cheetah-labrador-raised-cub-puppy-remain-best-friends-year-on.html

These photos put into perspective that cheetahs really aren’t that big, way smaller than actual big cats.

I remember a similar screen, though with the elements beside each other rather than on top of each other because I was on desktop. So yes, Cloudflare’s error messages are actually accurate in that regard.

You can have a non-infinite loop without a break statement, you just need a return statement in it. Also for(;;) is much faster to write than while(true).

according to them; but it’s still remarkable that the US federal government uses that name because https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/22/chapter-48 keeps referring to it as “Taiwan” and § 3301 even talks about “the governing authorities on Taiwan recognized by the United States as the Republic of China prior to January 1, 1979”

with these things, I always wonder how different I would feel about them if my first language weren’t German and I didn’t understand what was actually being said; as it is, I need to concentrate very much on the subtitles

What part didn’t work? I use that all the time in IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code.

More people use laptops (or even tablets or smartphones) more of the time nowadays, so fewer people turn on their devices that way nowadays.

yes, somehow people keep inventing less funny versions of that

Maybe they planned to make some changes, but never got around to them or at least didn’t get them to work the way they intended.

What’s the difference between USA and USB?

One connects to all devices and accesses the data. The other is a hardware standard.

That would cause me to miss many interesting threads that were created at a time when I happened not to be looking at Lemmy.

“New comments” it is for me, that causes threads to get bumped to the top as long as other people still find them interesting.
