Rentlar,

According to the law of US Canada Border Dominance, if a Michigander pisses into Lake Superior then it becomes part of the state.

Mr Santa checks if you are

naughty || nice

to see if you are eligible for a present.

Ho ho ho. Everyone is eligible for a present.

Rentlar,

That’s correct, hence everyone is eligible.

Rentlar,

Lol the censor board and Winnie the Pooh reminds me of the time Chinese censors were having a rough time trying to censor Megan Three Stallion’s (the artist who was featured in Cardi B’s W.A.P.) performance livestreamed at Coachella…

Rentlar,

my bad I will fix it

Rentlar, (edited )

I did, it originally said artist who made W.A.P. and now it’s featured in W.A.P.

Here, I went back and made it even more clear.

Rentlar,

“Real” linux users never exit vim and just use the internal shell there, so they are protected.

Rentlar,

Was this video taken in Toronto? The logo on the garbage bin(s) in the background looks familiar…

I looked into it, I knew that raw numbers there are more downvotes on Reddit due to sheer volume, but I was surprised by the ratios too.

Back in the days I used Reddit, somewhere I’d heard that an 8:1 up to down ratio was the average for the longest time (~89% upvoted). So that was kind of my baseline when looking at this question. However, I wanted to do some !lemmyshitpost research out of curiousity so I dug into your query.

Enjoy these data tables:

So there you have it for posts, way more downvotes on Reddit than Lemmy. I chalk it up to some instances not having downvotes, and people don’t really care to downvote posts besides clickbait, spam, controversial topics, flamebait and stuff.

I know Lemmings like to downvote comments here and there but it’s harder to get a real comparison because I don’t know how to get comment upvote/downvote ratios from Reddit whereas old Reddit still has upvote ratios for posts.

Obviously from server to server things will be different (and 100% upvotes on servers that disables downvotes!) and also if you narrow your scope. But the trend is obviously there.

Tips on making your data less sellable?

A charity I’m volunteering for and a contractor I know insist I have a facebook account for contact reasons. Naturally I bought a separate device to use for that, but I was wondering if there were ways to make my data undesirable to potential buyers. So far I got the obvious tiennamen square posting and that gay putin pic, but...

Rentlar,

Hitachi noticed your career in wizardry, and would like to recommend you the Magic Wand Original! Buy one today!

Rentlar,

You thought having a leftist as leader was bad, Argentina, good luck dealing with this douche in power.

Rentlar,

A very suspicious arm on the right.

Rentlar,

Although the rss feed feature is broken so there’s been no posts for a few days, !bapcsalescanada is one I used to track PC part sales. It was mirroring from Reddit, but just one easily blocked user from anyone not interested. We don’t have enough people frequenting RedFlagDeals and if we rely on individuals posting deals it will be way too late. That community saved me from needing to check Reddit at all.

Rentlar, (edited )

Yeah how each instance and community handles moderation is a little different, both a benefit and curse of the federated model. Lemmy.world is most “Reddit-like” in communities and moderation philosophy.

Be sure to read the community sidebar rules and instance rules you post to if you aren’t sure. Then again, people who break the written or unwritten rules tend to have the stuff removed, warned and then banned only if they don’t knock it off.

So don’t take it too hard on yourself, especially since it seems you understand their reasoning.

As a general tip, when you do actions on other servers using your lemmy.ca account, you stay on lemmy.ca and attach things at the end e.g. lemmy.ca/c/memes@sopuli.xyz or lemmy.ca/u/admin@beehaw.org. That’s how you maintain your identity without giving away your username/password directly to the other sites.

But why do two jobs? Won’t people do a better job concentrating on one thing and getting $2000 for that, instead of gaining experience in two different areas at the same time?

It’s because McDonald’s was trying to make an excuse that paying people US Federal Minimum wage (7.25$/hr since 2009, it’s still that in 2023) is enough to live on, and utterly failed, even while holding both a 40h a week and 30h a week min wage job. I guess they expect fast food employees to use to make their own fast food while they’re there as their food budget.

It was a case in point in 2013, rent and all expenses are way up since then. People aren’t going to make a living or have any savings at all, probably accruing more debt even with 2 jobs and less than the minimum of expenses.

Rentlar,

Props to the Lemmy-ui devs for designing a mobile capable site that’s light and works well.

I use Jerboa but I have to switch to browser to view other Lemmy server links but it’s seamless, and better than what I can say for 95% of modern mobile websites.

Rentlar,

Being in a temperate part of France sounds pretty great, especially if I got a room in Chateau de Láas.

Rentlar,

Yeah that part of the guide is top-tier advice from the FBI and Bundespolizei.

@cyborganism is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

E: I’m so unoriginal. Happy holidays everyone.

Rentlar,

Give OP some slack, they might be making the meme on their phone and posting while at work. Gotta post it before the manager sees them.

Rentlar,

Cool. Do you know if this project will support PowerPC-era Mac OS X apps or if that makes any difference? There are a bunch of quirky and fun games that could avoid being lost to time if an “emulator” can run them.

Rentlar,

Ok, good to know, I figure this instruction set can’t be converted 1 to 1.

The Distro Wars are good actually.?

If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

Rentlar,

I haven’t minded the tongue-in-cheek jokes about distros since forever, but people who take it way too seriously, and don’t see that each distro has its benefits and drawbacks are kinda annoying.

Rentlar,

Every middle-aged German man is named Thomas. No exceptions.
