Finally, a use for NFTs

Edit: Wait, nevermind, they said no throwing it away

Sure. Firefox is developed by lovely people.

I’m a 65% user and it’s great. The only keys right of the main block that I ever really use are delete, PrtSc, and the arrow keys - so all a full size keyboard does for me is force me to awkwardly bend my arms to the left as I type. I especially dislike numpads on laptop keyboards for that reason.

And I work with numbers a lot. I just prefer the number row. I have remapped the rightmost column of keys to more useful functions as well.

This stance has nothing to do with anglocentrism and everything to do with making Lemmy usable. You set your languages in your profile so you’ll only see posts and comments in those languages. No one likes seeing lots of posts in languages they don’t understand, and that that only happens when people are too lazy to set the language indicator. I’d fully expect and encourage non-English speakers to downvote improperly tagged English posts in their feed as well.

I downvote non-English results I see on my All page as a punishment for not correctly setting the language on the post, which takes 1 second to do and would ensure it doesn’t spam the feed for non-speakers. I can’t imagine I’m alone - was the post in question not correctly tagged as Polish content, like your post is correctly tagged as English content?

If it was correctly tagged, then those downvotes were all from people who speak Polish.

Merry Christmas!

The second line should be r²y on the left, not ry² 😉

I’m not so sure about changing the terminology, but if we did, I think it should be a word that implies what the situation is: That the instance they pick isn’t a walled garden in itself, but just an access point to the wider connected Lemmyverse. I think that was a common confusion point for most of us when we first heard of Lemmy.

So… “access point”? Or “gateway”? Or for a milder change, going from “instance” to “default instance” might get the point across.

My passwords use the full set of characters I can type by hand on a standard US qwerty keyboard, and I’ve only run into a few sites that have complained and made me use something simpler. PayPal is one of them. Some of the others are Zenni Optical, eBay, and FedLoan.

In total that’s about 8% of my accounts. So the vast majority of sites seem to let you use whatever, at least. I only use 15 characters so I have no comments on length. I am equally annoyed when a new site makes me use simpler passwords.

I’m pretty sure I’m in a minority here, but I like that lemmy.world is so huge - and think it’s both positive for the lemmyverse and an excellent starting point for new users.

It ties into the new user experience a lot: lemmy.world has a large userbase so most communities will already show up in its All. It’s consistently had new registrations open where many others have closed during large sign-up rushes. It has a thoughtful admin team experienced with running services like this. It’s likely to be around for the very long term and, short of some DDoS attacks, should be fairly reliable.

I know having instances this big is objectively bad if you’re measuring things like how distributed or resilient to disruption the Lemmyverse is, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives on the whole.

If I’m honest, I think the best way to implement an “I know which instance I pick isn’t that important, please just send me to a random one” feature would be to send the user to a random one of the top 5 largest instances. I stopped short of suggesting that because I know it would be deeply unpopular though - enough so that it becomes a bad idea on that merit alone.

They should add filters for language and general purpose vs. specific topic; options to sort by size, age, connectedness, and reliability; write a short blurb about the administration policy of each instance (provided by the instance admins themselves); and add an “I’m feeling lucky” button that picks a proven reliable general purpose instance at random and just sends you to it. As well as big, bold text at the top saying “The instance you pick honestly isn’t that important”.

Or older versions of browsers, or browsers that don’t comply, or browsers compiled for literally any other country

Or putting the option to disable the blocking in about:config… Or even just the settings page

My message was pretty clear about which part of their claim I was skeptical about and what I was testing for. It’s not what you described here.

I was skeptical of this, but it checks out: I easily got ChatGPT to print out the full text to The Tell-Tale Heart, without any errors at all in the various spots I accuracy-checked.

Granted I chose it because it’s a very short public domain work - I was more skeptical of its technical ability to recall the exact text without errors than of the ability to trick it into violating copyright law.

I still suspect it’s much easier to (accidentally) trick it into writing a fanfiction of a copyrighted work that it claims is the original than it is to get it to produce the true original, though.
