Having summer and winter start around the same time every year is a pretty good thing to have.

This is exactly what they are complaining about 😛

Even when running an instance for yourself, you’re not really safe. The threat to your privacy goes from being a third party in control of your data to your own operational inexperience.

I tried to host my own personal Lemmy instance and ran into a lot of issues hosting it. On the one hand you want to be safe by restricting unnecessary access, but on the other hand you have no idea why federation doesn’t work, or the postfix-relay docker cannot send an email, or why you cannot ssh into your own host, so you want to just allow everything and just get it to work somehow. In the end, unless you are already an expert at this stuff, trying to host your personal instance safely is a tall task.

It’s also going to be very costly. Especially for an image sharing website like Pixelfed.

Maybe there is a market for self-service managed hosts like we have with Wordpress blogs.

Hi, I’m Dr. Mordecai Tutu on this glorious day.

Pretty late if they are starting now. Replacement-level fertility is about 2.1 children. Even if they somehow convince their young to increase the rate, it’ll take at least 18 years to see any effect.

You know, saying that everyone except caucasians are “people of color” itself reeks of inherent racism.

Racism is quite common in the world. It always has been. It’s just that in most of our history our out-groups were still local so racism didn’t manifest.

Right now we’re at a point in the human journey where we see people of different races quite often, but we don’t interact often enough that it is no longer relevant for anyone. It’s improving.

Must have been a long vacation.

That means you are a misogynist through and through. /s

to be is an irregular verb that takes the forms am, are, and is in the present tense. to become is a different verb which has the forms become, and becomes.

It was not.

It used to be this social media site where you could write these notes that were short enough for blue birds to carry around to everyone.

I can “Save” a post on wefwef and come back to it later.

I’d like to subscribe to this post but i don’t know how.

Just a nit-pick. The immigrant in this case is probably contributing more to the economy than the $1,000 he gets paid to do it.

Just FYI for anyone new to the Fediverse, you can use any Mastodon app to follow lemmy users’ comments. For example, you can search for @BrikoX@lemmy.zip or @lightsecond@programming.dev to follow our comments on lemmy from Mastodon.

You need to subscribe to its communities like you would any other. But bear in mind that lemmit.online doesn’t sync comments.

For example !games@lemmit.online. You can see the list of communities at https://lemmit.online/communities.

My theory is that we probably conflate lots of mental illnesses because they have similar symptoms. We know today how there are many unrelated reasons that can cause a blocked nose. Even though a pollen allergy and viral infection both cause sneezing and a blocked nose, the way to deal with these conditions in the long term is not the same. My gut says that we’re still early as a society in our exploration of mental health and at least some illnesses will be identified in our lifetimes as definitely being caused by the biome.

Lemmy has a web interface just like kbin. Are you saying that regular websites don’t work on older iDevices? The web interface for your instance is at https://lemmy.world
