long before emoji, most web forums had "smilies" (replacements of strings like ":)" and ":(" and ":P" with corresponding smiley images); emoji are in my mind that except standardized in Unicode and a way to save bandwidth
I don't see where I said anything that contradicts anything in your comment.
Like most of the worst bills in the US Congress.
Then no one can cross the tracks there at all anymore.
If Google is their default search engine, they must at least be tech-savvy enough to have changed the search engine in Edge, or installed another browser (probably Chrome).
Which "non-techy people" are we talking about here?
Nowadays some people only use smartphones or maybe tablets, and they might not know that. But most non-techy desktop users still use Windows and they certainly ought to know the default browser (and its search engine) on their OS, I would think.
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.
Du hast deine Meinung zu dieser Nachrichtenseite jetzt mehr als oft genug geäußert, ich habe sie oft genug auch gelesen und auch verstanden. Ich bin nicht in der Lage, es 100% aller Leser jeder Community bei der Auswahl der Artikel, die ich poste, recht zu machen. Ich poste täglich Artikel aus verschiedenen Quellen, die ich für interessant und relevant halte, auch um bestimmte Lemmy-Communitys am Leben zu erhalten. Ich lade dich ein, selbst Artikel zu posten, die mehr deinem Geschmack entsprechen; wenn ich einen Artikel zur gleichen Meldung in einer Community bereits sehe, poste ich nie (absichtlich) einen anderen dazu.
Ich schlage dir vor, entweder die Moderatoren zu ersuchen, diese Quelle zu verbieten (daran würde ich mich in den betroffenen Communitys halten), oder eine neue Community zu gründen, in der diese Quelle nicht erlaubt ist. Alternativ steht es dir auch frei, mich zu blockieren, nur gibt es dann halt einige Communitys, die dadurch deutlich leerer werden ...
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.
That one was usually not autoreplaced, likely a reason why it was used specifically to get around that.
