I’m a hard core vegan. I’ve been banned because I’m apparently a “carnist troll”. In their defense, they unbanned me after I appealed.

Just one more settings redesign man. I promise, just one more. Just one more design, I swear.

I’ve personally never been banned on reddit, but been banned 2 or 3 times on Lemmy for being too argumentative.

Sometimes, even if I generally agree with someone, I have the strong urge to argue because I don’t think their arguments are good. But some people see that as being against them or even trolling. And communities here seem more sensitive to it.

That’s very important context for this question

Languages don’t have to do it. Languages are organic and evolve constantly. A language is not a set of rules, it’s what people speak. The books just try to formalize it. But each language has limited set of sounds, so older names of places often used only those sounds because people literally couldn’t pronounce other sounds. Or when the name is something totally different, it’s usually very old names for things, ans they often get changed! (recent examples are Turkiye and Kiwiv). You also can’t force people to use certain words, it either comes naturally or falls out of use.

That’s the Google way.

Thanks, that will be useful knowledge to have when it happens to me

If you’re lucky enough to be middle class you might get easy access to soap and olive oil

Where do you wash your hands? Hope you brought a big bottle of disinfectant.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Bolsonaro had gotten pocketed a kickback from MS to quietly remove that law’s teeth.

Used to have? Not anymore?

Why do we do this, and then sometimes buy crap on impulse and then regret such low quality products without any research? I hate that trait of mine. There’s no in-between.

This could be revolutionary if it comes true.

The ecodesign requirements will include:

• resistance to accidental drops or scratches and protection from dust and water
• sufficiently durable batteries which can withstand at least 800 charge and discharge cycles while retaining at least 80% of their initial capacity
• rules on disassembly and repair, including obligations for producers to make critical spare parts available within 5-10 working days, and for 7 years after the end of sales of the product model on the EU market
• availability of operating system upgrades for longer periods (at least 5 years from the date of the end of placement on the market of the last unit of a product model)
• non-discriminatory access for professional repairers to any software or firmware needed for the replacement

Of course. If you upset the overlords, you don’t deserve to live. But they wouldn’t admit it publicly (for now), so they go the roundabout way. Next, they could cut off your electricity too, maybe ask your bank to freeze your account, cancel your cards, oh and maybe Sony can take over your house too.

And as I grew older, I just find it distasteful. Also, not into children or children looking characters.

Not just that, but around the same time we saw significant service fragmentation and price hikes.

I just use butterflies

I think 4chan had been largely superceded by reddit as the min meme source. And now tiktok et al is largely superseding reddit as reddit continues going to shit.

I can only check transactions. Any actions require the app.

Some banks require you to have a phone app now. I know mine is app only.
