3·12 days agoOK, thanks; how do I enable this myself in the communities where I’m a moderator? I don’t see that option.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Because Google cares about us
2·14 days agoDoesn’t Android require a Google account anyway?
I honestly do not get why “touch grass” became a common phrase/meme around a decade after many people got mobile Internet access (through smartphones).
Before that, it would have made sense because you’d usually only be posting on the Internet when you’re somewhere inside where there’s a computer; but now that we can literally be posting online while lying on grass?! How did this happen?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Trigger Post 👁️👄👁️ (warning highly toxic 💀, do not read if you are a Linux user 🔥)
2·26 days agoMe too (whether Linux is an OS depends on how you define the term) and that’s why it’s such a silly post to make. If there weren’t anyone who thought KDE was better than GNOME, why would KDE still exist?
The first two depend on centralized services and nonfree software, which are things I don’t like. The third doesn’t. The fourth doesn’t have to.
So by those metrics I like cryptocurrency the most. In fact I have invested a bit of my savings in Bitcoin. I have never used Uber or AirBnB meanwhile.

Technology@beehaw.org•Updates to our Privacy Policy | Antrophic
2·1 month agoThere are certainly some governments around the world that have considered requiring age verification for chatbots. Not sure any such laws are already in effect.
I don’t even want to express an opinion whether I find that worse or less bad than doing so for social media.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Steam will no longer offer physical gift cardsEnglish
1·1 month agoWhere I live, gift cards are still very widely available.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Steam will no longer offer physical gift cardsEnglish
8·1 month agoSounds like getting rid of Steam gift cards won’t solve that problem, they can do the same with other gift cards or even entirely different methods. Is that worth it to exclude minors or other people with no other way to pay?

71·1 month agoWhat scams were those?
The main people impacted by this will be minors with no other way to buy anything from Steam…
Pretty sure that compared to NetBSD, Linux still runs on relatively few architectures. 😝
I do use it, but you are quite right I don’t tend to mention it unless asked.
Probably just ask it for the seahorse emoji or something idk

2·2 months agoIt just has more of the web in its index than competitors do, so there are good practical reasons on occasion.
On the terminal yes.
On GUIs I generally use an IDE or VSCodium with vim keybindings.

0·3 months agoDo you really think that you will get better answers on non-topical questions from these chatbots than from generic LLMs that are free to use anyway?
bro are you just mass-crossposting things from reddit or what? Those camel case titles aren’t really common here, you know.

7·3 months agoRight now I can access it. They seem to have a status page https://fhf-lemmyworld.instatus.com/ that says that earlier today there were some problems for approximately an hour? I don’t have more information than that.




















Thanks, that worked.
