HandwovenConsensus, to asklemmy in What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

I’ve seen some in the US that run slowly until you get close. I guess they think that if it was stopped completely, people would assume it’s non-operational.

This is what I never understood. The principle of respecting the autonomy of other cultures is good imo, but what “cultural contamination” could be worse than the total extinction of the civilization you’re trying to protect?

Applying the Prime Directive in such extreme circumstances turns it from an anti-imperialist ideal to a Social Darwinist one.

HandwovenConsensus, to mildlyinteresting in I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong!

I think it’s possible that people are simply confused because the answers are the same for most decades. But one thing I would try maybe is setting the “value” of the different options, since that’s what you’re reading.

As I understand it, if no value is set, the browser should return the name instead, so the way you have it should work, but that may vary depending on browser.

EDIT: I tried to give an example, but lemmy keeps filtering out my explanation even if I enclose it in code tags. Hopefully you know what I mean.

HandwovenConsensus, to asklemmy in What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?

Outrage bait. Too much of reddit was stories and videos of people acting badly.

HandwovenConsensus, to memes in What's your "old person" trait?

I like having a keyboard and mouse. Doing things on a smartphone is a last resort.
