Old, large, cranky. Gotta go to the bathroom.
Also, that picture isn’t me.

I can’t even get past the user interface at Discord. Rarely have I felt so uninvited to participate, even as the site aggressively invites me to participate.
Don’t kink-shame.
R U McSerious? 14? Jeez, I said & did stupider things than that at that age, and never made up for it by doing anything smart later on.
Next time I see the internet canard that fooled me, I will not be fooled again. Grazi.
I wasn’t referring to r/jailbait, nor was I implying he was a pedophile. I was clumsily alluding to comments purportedly written by Swartz, supporting peoples’ right to publish, read, and share kiddie porn.
But you know what? I haven’t read Swatrtz’s comments myself, so I’m not sure exactly what he said, and in a few minutes googling I can’t even find what I’d read about whatever Swartz may or may not have written.
So the line about kiddie porn was me talking out of my ass. Never a good idea. Knowing nothing, nothing is what I should’ve said.
I think he’d say, “Please spell my name right.”
I think he’d want more kiddie porn — he had a definite urge in that direction.
I think Aaron Swartz was a complicated guy who did some good but had some enormous issues to say the least, and the ongoing worship of him as a hero is not a good idea.
Depends on the instance. Here on Lemmy.World, it’s allowed and encouraged, but on some instances they don’t want the traffic and storage.
This is helpful, for the largest instances:
I dislike almost every Microsoft product, and always prefer the alternatives, but que sera sera. :) I don’t doubt that it works.
We’re required to use Microsoft Teams at my office, and oy, what an endless annoyance. If you’re in an MS environment all day, can you tell me how to make Teams understand that I’ve read something? All day every day, any time there’s a message in Teams, I spend five seconds reading it, then ten seconds trying to get Teams to stop marking it “unread.”
Agreed about Firefox, except I love it so much I haven’t given up on it. I just can’t. Been using Firefox since 1957. When a site doesn’t work, I jump to Chrome and it’s almost invariably OK. Only a slight hassle, plus that I hate Chrome too.
Well, exactly. Pretty sure Reddit knows, but how does any user know?
Thanks for 'splaining it. I shall toss no more rocks at Lemmy’s windows.

My guesstimate is that Reddit — with BotDefense up and running — was at least 20% bots posting articles and then bots having conversations about those bot-posted articles. Without BotDefense? Yikes.
Ah, you’re probably right. I mostly hate Edge because I never chose it, downloaded it, or installed it, and of course it can’t be deleted. It triggers all my “intruder alerts”.
I have used it some at work, and hate it, but that’s mostly because work wouldn’t let me install adblockers.
Lots of bot posts, and under them, lots of lively conversations between the bots.
Old guy here, wondering what Scandinavian Airlines has to do with any of this. Seriously, what’s SAS?
In no sense is Edge is a good browser. It is built for ads and tracking, and makes surfing the web inherently unpleasant.
I would updoot that line of thinking, and award you Lemmy Gold.
This is good to know and could be something I’d use a lot, but it isn’t working. Every Reddit address I try it on, the reply is “Nothing here. Head back home?”
Does the page need to be pre-prepared, like a web.archive.org address?
I am not annoyed by Lemmy’s constant glitches. It adds to the charm of the place.
Lemmy is a volunteer effort. You want everything to run corporate-smooth, that’s ‘X’ and TikTok and Reddit.
