As always, it’s better to recommend more strict restrictions when you don’t know if they’re effective and there’s an impact on public health. Hindsight is 20/20

Neat, I can make some nice plastic cutlery with that filament!

Piracy is Preservation (feddit.de)

Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were...

Removing an episode for being racist (even though this one wasn’t racist) is not cultural genocide. Wearing blackface (I know, this wasn’t blackface) is not a culture that needs to be preserved.

You can be clean and messy at the same time.

At least that’s what my wife tells me

Land on a planet, you step off the ship, and you suddenly get captured. Hard cut to black.

Slow fade in… “you’re finally awake”

Feature request: allow for different "Post Type Background Colors" for each type, so you can tell at a glance what will happen if you tap on a post

I would love to be able to set the post type background of images or videos yo a different color than links. I often accidentally open a YouTube video I don’t want to open because I think it’s actually an image or a link.

No, they wouldn’t have. Because owning a link to a thing doesn’t mean anything, no matter what that thing is. They were only valuable because people didn’t understand NFTs and wanted to get rich quick.

… what?

This sounds like the pitch of a tech bro who just heard someone use the term API but doesn’t actually know what it is

I doubt it, but either way: stop preordering games.

The downside of HFCS isn’t the syrup itself, but the fact that it is so cheap and is easily able to be added to make things taste “better” for basically no cost.

I would end the corn subsidies in America. They make bank anyway

Does Anyone Have a TIFU Moment When Cooking?

I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from...

Biden pushes new student loan repayment plan as bills loom for tens of millions (www.politico.com)

President Joe Biden on Tuesday launched a promotional blitz for his new program that helps student loan borrowers repay their debt, just weeks before millions of Americans are set to receive a loan bill for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic....

Low sodium spam chopped into cubes and fried until crispy are absolutely delicious. I don’t know why people have such an aversion to it.

Interesting side effect is Reddit is basically penalizing voting, since if you vote on most comments you end up doubling or tripling your API usage. The best way to pay less for this app is to stop voting altogether.

Reddit’s advertising is based on user engagement, so they’re shooting themselves in the foot for a few pennies in comparison.

So because the average person is aware that it’s difficult to download off YouTube, that means any attempt to make it easier is “acting in bad faith”?

Is it “bad faith” to replace your phone’s battery because it requires some specialized tools? Is it “bad faith” to change the oil in your car instead of bringing it to a service center?

A PhD doesn’t mean anything other than that you are a fast learner and are dedicated enough to work on a project for years. It doesn’t mean you are intelligent or even that you know everything in your field, however it does usually result in you being an expert in a very specific small corner of your field.

I have a PhD

It’s.the principle of it.

Sync’s dev is being greedy. Most of the reason why I left Reddit was because they were being greedy.

I’m not supporting that shit.

I’m glad this volunteer community is back. How do I volunteer as well?

OC Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....

Speaking of speech:

Using the word “retard” as a derogatory term is pretty offensive to those born with developmental defects. It’s similar to how we used to use “gay” in a similar way a few decades ago. It’s pretty shitty.
