Oh, but there is one thing Lemmy can replicate. [email protected]

The whole planet and everything in it is completely riddled with viruses. Better steer clear if you value your life. If they ever send you a message, delete it without reading a single word of it.

Glad I could help!

LOL. You’re welcome!

I like to think that viruses are just an inevitable consequence of having biochemical machines we call “life”.

Yep. Bio weapons are terrible in every way. Now that RNA vaccines are in production, making new vaccines just got a whole lot faster.

And then there are also point and click adventure games and even visual novels. Who hates those?

New fear unlocked.

I hate online PvP FPS games, and I know it’s a 100% skill issue. I like to think that the same logic also applies to those who hate all games.

Prime horror movie material.

You trust your body. You trust your mind. But what if the enemy… is already inside you?

They’re not viruses. They’re not bacteria. They’re your own proteins… twisted. Hungry.

They hide in the folds of your brain. They wait in the silence of your cells. And when they strike… you won’t even know you’re already lost.

COMING TO AN ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM NEAR YOU

Wait until you hear about viruses or prions. Truly terrifying nanobots. Worst of all, they already exist. Those things are out there right now.

For a small desk just big enough for a laptop, ergonomic keyboards aren’t an option. However, if you have a large desk but still can’t fit a nice keyboard, consider decluttering to create more space.

The old generation is always the best and new generations are always bad. What we call the bad generation depends on the decade or century when you ask. This seems to be one of the constants of human existence.

I use both. Switching is easy, because you get used to it eventually. If you need to type a lot, an ergonomic keyboard will be a lot nicer, so you’ll end up preferring that.

I believe societal expectations of masculinity and femininity have become distorted over time. Conforming to these rigid categories will just lead to sadness.

If you’re a woman who enjoys tinkering with electronics, go for it. If you’re a man who feels comfortable expressing your emotions, do so. Why not explore both while you’re at it?

In matters like these, it’s perfectly fine to disregard cultural norms and follow your own path. There’s no reason to conform to societal expectations that contradict your true self. You don’t need to identify with any specific gender; simply be a human and engage in human activities.

I think gender has become another “tribe” that people naturally gravitate towards and identify with. It seems quite human to desire such social groupings. Thousands of years ago, your family and literal tribe fulfilled this role. Today, we seek similar social connections through other means.

This is usually the right answer. In the past, logging in was a simple pipeline with no forks along the way. That’s why a simple username + password did the trick. Nowadays, logging in has become a complicated journey with several ways to get to the destination. Once the site knows your email, it knows what’s the next step in your case.

All they have to do is to stop maintaining the mobile app that controls the robot. Sure, you can still start it manually, but it won’t do anything smart.

On top of that, people have families, jobs, and other commitments that hinder their plans. Moving to another town is already hard enough as it is, but relocating to another country is even harder.

While it’s certainly possible and perhaps even advisable, it’s not a realistic option for most people. If your life is in danger, remaining isn’t really an option, so any associated difficulties with moving and starting anew are the lesser evil. However, for everyone else, the situation gets complicated.

I’ve tried reading my local and federated feeds but found little value in them. Most posts are either too niche, too uninteresting or just fly straight over my head. Consequently, I prefer to stick with the subscribed feed almost exclusively. That’s where I can reliably find stuff worth my time.

Haven’t asked the admins, but here’s my guess.
Being the most well known instance means that you get a lot of traffic. Let’s say that 1% of the people using your instance are annoying morons. In a smaller instance that 1% translates to maybe one ban a month or whatever. In a bigger place, it becomes a constant onslaught stupid idiot bullshit nobody has the time or energy to deal with. Either you get a bunch of admins and mods to deal with that nonsense or you start banning users more aggressively. If that doesn’t help, you may need to look at the instance where those troublemakers come from. If you notice that a particular instance pops up disproportionately often, you might want to consider defederating from it.

However, some part of that drama is public on fediseer. Have a look. Just scroll down to censures given and read the reasons why lemmy.world has defederated from so many instances.

I took a look at those stats a while back, and the defederation procedure totally goes both ways.

As far as I can tell, bigger instances have bumped into issues that were resolved through defederation. Smaller instances haven’t faced those kinds of problems, so they haven’t defederated with any instances yet.

If all the big instances have defederated your instance, that’s clear sign that there might be something wrong with that place. If your instance has defederated from a bunch of other instances, take a look at the size of that instance before drawing conclusions. For example lemmy.world is a special case and a clear outlier.
