US universities are pro football teams with a sideline in education.

Yep, it's one of the most annoying thing about the site.

The name holds it back more than you know. No EP or AD wants to put "The GIMP" on their software list for a project. I have to have a conversation with someone ensuring we're good on all our licenses, and they ask, "What is this GIMP thing?" Answering it makes me sound like an unprofessional jackass. The company would rather just pay Adobe.

Reading this on Boost for Lemmy, which I'm glad exists, since Boost was my Reddit app of choice.

You don't get to both ignore intellectual property rights of others, and enforce them for yourself. Fuck these guys.

I can definitely get behind an AI plugin that reliably rats out AI generated content; i will love that in my browser (as long as it, sigh, is not a privacy nightmare). But all the "be smart for me" digital assistants can go eff themselves. I don't even use auto mode on my camera.

I wonder if Firefox users are more likely to spoof their user agent setting? Probably not.

I'll still use it. Compared to every other browser, it is the least disastrous regarding privacy.

This is why people hate liberals, and why liberals often migrate over to conservatism: no matter how right you are, there's always someone happy to crap on you for not being right enough.

Don't shit on EVs for merely being one of many solutions that all need to be engaged with. It's not like without EVs, so many people would be rushing to areas of greater density and riding public transit, so your message is not helpful in achieving what you want, and actively angers your allies.

Hate this. Every time, I seem to guess wrong.

Guess I'm a robot.

The real crime here is downloading Chrome.

Firefox, for privacy protection.

Obviously not going to subscribe to the platform, but does anyone know a site doing us all the service of collecting and reposting his posts?

I don't know much about LTT, but companies where you have a preponderance of young white guys, this is invariably the culture. If you're a young white guy, work hard to be sure you're not part of the problem.

I've read that it should be possible, but my experience seems to show that that is incorrect, that you need a login for every instance where you wish to make a post or comment. Could someone who knows clarify this?

If you need a login for every instance of Lemmy to participate in non-local communities, then that will, I think, be the #1 issue with Lemmy adoption, and the main reason folks bounce off.

Edit: I was trying to comment on a post on lemdro.id, but it said a login was required. If that is to be the case, most users out there won't understand an ability to see content but not participate in that content, simply due to instance logins. That was my point. If that isn't true, and I should be able to comment on other instance posts, then I've experienced a bug or something.

Edited Edit: I believe this was a result of using Liftoff, where I was able to view a community on another instance, and I was logged into the app via my own instance, but it treated my viewing the other community as if I were on that site, instead of viewing it through my instance. So this things are, I think, working as intended, and that Liftoff made the presentation of things ambiguous. Thanks for all the polite replies. Definitely makes me feel more confident that Lemmy can be a good replacement for Reddit.

Got a Bulldog puppy, and she intimidates our adult Boston Terrier. It's hysterical.
