This is a good example of how fascists and right wingers can ruin anything and everything. Bharat is a name with a shit ton of really fascinating history behind it. But let nationalists claim it as theirs and theirs alone, and it will eventually be just as ruined as the swastika.

Okay, serious question… Is lemmy supposed to be pronounced like the contraction of let+me? I’ve been pronouncing it like… Limb+E.

So, I don’t really play much, tbh. But that’s just me. I go through, like, phases where I play video games a lot for several weeks, and then don’t touch a game for several months. What I can say is, with the exception of TOTK on switch, the only thing I use is the SD. It’s the best game (or really, tech in general) purchase I’ve ever made. I’m poor as a MF, and I’d make that purchase over again if I had the option. Absolutely zero regrets. It’s perfect, and I love that I have it when I want it.

I bought a different brand of this a few years ago, and despised it. It was super thin and the headphones would press into me painfully as I slept. Turns out it was just a cheap brand. Pulled the headphones out and put them inside a sleep mask I knitted myself. Absolutely in love with it now. So wonderful.

Okay, been wondering this for a while, and can’t think of where to post it. So… Gonna ask her.

Could lemmy do it’s own version of Place? Like, a new instance specifically for lemmyplace, sole purpose being the big canvas (maybe c/canvas?), And it only stays up until it’s done?

Thank you! I’ll try and make this my project this weekend. Haha.

You wouldn’t be able to link me to a tutorial to do that, would you? I’m not trying most technologically inclined, tbh.

I absolutely love this! God, I need it. There are several websites I have to use for school that have bullshit articles on the side bar that I would love to block these assholes from. And for the people talking about blocking them being ignoring the problem, you don’t have to keep it turned on all the time. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to scroll through something without having to know what the fuck warren buffet thinks, or how the emerald heir is going to cure cancer with the power of a truck that looks like a PS1 asset.

OP, I love this. Please tell me there’s a way to do to this from Android?

Wow! That’s really cool!

I like your method! I’m curious how to do binary? I only know the method I talked about because I really, really like base 12 for a story I wrote and got very into it with the research. I’ve never considered other techniques for finger counting before.

I’m a Lemmy newb, but what I’ve been doing is copying the instance address, and paste it into Jerboa if I’m mobile, or into a different tab where I’m logged into my instance on browser. It’s not hard, but it worries me that people aren’t going to understand it going forward. I’m hoping eventually it gets a little more integrated.

That’s not how radiation exposure works. The types of mutations in DNA it causes is generally things like cancer, not birth defects that transfer into future generations. In order for the number of fingers human-wide to change, there would need to be a specific mutation for that, and that mutation would have to be beneficial enough that the 11+ or 9- fingered folks would be more likely to breed than us 10 fingered folks.

On top of that, while base 10 is convenient because of our fingers, it’s unlikely to change due to how ingrained it is in our culture at this point. It’s also hardly the only system we’ve used. The Babylonians used a base 60. Many cultures have used base 12. Base 12 is actually very convenient for our fingers already.

Hold your left thumb against the first segment of your left pinky and count 1, move up one segment, count two. Count each of the segments on your left fingers. You’re now at 12. Move your right thumb to the first segment on your right pinky, and then start over on your left. Each time you count 12 on the left, move your right thumb up one. You can now count to 144 on your fingers.

Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn’t the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.

I really appreciate the reply. I think I’m going to stick with Lemmy for now, since it has a mobile app I enjoy, and I’m mobile the vast majority of the time. I’ll just also make a mastodon, and follow the other things on there. Maybe when Kbin gets a mobile app I’ll consider switching.

I’m seriously in awe of how people act on this side of things. A dozen replies, none of them hostile. I never got that on the other site! Lol.

I’ve lived all over, moved a lot, and have never seen a set up like here before, either. But, I’ve also not paid super close attention to farmer’s co-ops before moving here and getting chickens and ducks and doing small scale farming/big ass gardening. Lol. I assume they also sell diesel like you’re talking about. Maybe they just got a deal with the county and I’m/other people here are confusing that for the red diesel thing?

In my rural county the cops, school busses and basically all the public service vehicles like ambulances and plows fill up at the farmer’s coop, where farmers get cheap gas for their tractors. I have heard that this is not technically legal, because that has is specifically for tractors and has some kind of special price because of that, but I don’t know if that’s true or not. I know you’re not allowed to fill up your regular car there, but some of the farmer’s and cops do.

I’m still not entirely sure what kbin is. Is there a mobile app for it?

Yeah, I know I can do it the other way around. I was just hoping to do it through Lemmy, since I’ve already followed just about everything I can think of on here. I was hoping for, like, one superfeed, with mastodon, peertube, Lemmy together.

I really, really like connect. But I’m in a sub for a word game, and the only way to spoiler the screenshots (so that I can read the clues, but not get the answer) is to NSFW tag it. Connect still shows the unblurred images, even if I choose to have blur turned on. I’m on Jerboa until that gets fixed. Since you use connect, have you found a problem like that with yours?
