Never tell anyone your real name or address

more importantly, if you do know the real identity of another participant, don’t reveal it

It’s not anymore tho, they switched to the euro a few months ago. 😜

Yugoslavia continued to exist after that with reduced territory (today’s Serbia and Montenegro). I have childhood memories of the existence of Yugoslavia, but not of Czechoslovakia.

The way I remember it, on old phones before smartphones, speakerphone was a very obscure feature that many users didn’t know how to turn on. I certainly didn’t (I was a child at the time) unless someone showed me.

On modern smartphones it’s very easy, maybe that should be changed again. 😁

I use speakerphone a lot in my own home too when no one is around. It’s just more comfortable to hold my phone in front of me instead of to my ear. Never in public unless specific other people need to hear it.

Seriously though; most citizenship tests I’ve seen in my life (on the Internet; I’ve never changed my citizenship, so have never actually taken one) ask about things like how various governmental institutions work, not the dimensions of randomly selected landmarks. Is this a well known piece of information in the UK?

They’re different but compatible pieces of software.

A major difference is that Lemmy doesn’t allow following individual (microblogging) accounts, only communities. The other three allow following both AFAIK.

Is the source code already available?

AFAIK this has to do with US tax law and how it applies to income earned by US citizens abroad.

I have never answered yes to this, but would be surprised if it were impossible or even considerably harder for US persons to open bank accounts. I always thought this just triggered slightly different rules for the bank?

What do you expect when everything you post is instantly copied (“federated”) to something between dozens and thousands of other servers? They might not all properly process any deletions. :/

That link doesn’t work for me, and I’m pretty sure that’s generally how Lemmy works, you yourself can still see things you deleted on your profile, but other people can’t. Try opening your profile logged out (e.g. private browsing mode), I think you won’t see deleted posts or comments there anymore.

If you don’t trust deletion to federate to other instances, why would you trust edits to do so?

I think so, yes.

I have been posting things on websites that allow the general public to participate since my childhood, that is, for more than 20 years. At the time I was familiar with “forums”, slightly later also “wikis” and “blogs”… I have no idea why or even when exactly the world started to insist on that strange term “social media” to describe some poorly defined subset of such websites. 🤔

Technically correct, but I think you know what the above user meant.

2006: user generated content is a revolution! We are now exchanging information and ideas directly with each other without needing information gatekeepers like traditional media or paid advertisers or anything like that! The future is gonna be a utopia where the powerful will be challenged at every turn!

2026: a significant percentage of “user generated content” is generated either by AI or people who are being paid to do so for commercial or political reasons… I suppose those are “users” too…

why, humanity, why??? ;____;

Yes. And why, dear journalists, are you reporting on this only now instead of last year before it passed the legislature?

How does this compare to salaries for comparable positions at comparable for-profit companies?

It’s kinda the point of donations that they can afford to hire people whose labor costs that much.

something something “are you fucking sorry”

I am not. I am from a country whose constitution starts with the statement that it is a democratic republic.

Yes, that makes sense that very small apartments would also have very small kitchens where you’d have these kinds of fridges. Point is, most people do have much bigger ones, even in Europe. :)
