It should be noted that the documentation built-into the engine is mostly documentation for the different classes, and that tutorials, guides and explanations written in prose still need to be viewed from a browser.

lemmy.ml has non-unicode emojis?

German has the term raubkopieren for piracy which translated literally means theft-copying. I kind of find that term funny because somehow it makes it sound even worse than just piracy, since with pirates we at least have the pop fiction image of the pirate, and because it has a paradoxical sound to it (“how can you steal something by copying?”).

I think a prime example of hexbear wholesomeness is their trans megathreads: https://hexbear.net/post/3363552

They even have a community to help each other out: !mutual_aid@hexbear.net

I do see Lemmy.world running into issues in the future

I think lemmy.world is already pretty bad. To get away from their posts and comments I’ve considered joining hexbear, since you people honestly have the best content and most wholesome community and aren’t federated with .world, but I also don’t want to be completely isolated from the rest of the fediverse. However, I just noticed there are only 5 instances in hexbear’s blocked instance list and plenty in the linked list. Maybe I didn’t notice how all other instances started federating with hexbear again?

I don’t know what the “allowed” instance list means though.

I use bookmarks for stuff that I know that I will some day in the future want to go back to. I don’t bookmark every link I open, because I want my bookmarks to only have the “good stuff”, ie. stuff that I know I will need often or in the future.

I now have installed an auto tab discarter extension, so I can keep all those tabs open without using too many resources but still be able to go back to them when I need to.

Roaches have never tasted meat

I’m pretty sure they are omnivores and eat whatever, including meat.

The thrive community forums did it with the word belgium, inspired by the work of Douglas Adams

They made Hawaii about the same size as the other 48 combined though. I guess that’s something.

The f in foss is for free as in libre, not price. And I imagine it is used to avoid touching the topic of open source software vs libre software. So saying you can make money from one and not the other doesn’t make sense.

I don’t think I have seen many phones with that feature.

It’s esperanto (but they removed the diacritic for some reason): Forĝejo

And it is pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/

I thought it was going to be a !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml post, until I reached the corporeal punishment part.

Is that where he got the inspiration to write Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family?

Couldn’t we just get rid of the animals and just ferment the beans ourselves by using the bacteria in their guts?

Nice! Is it sourdough?

Could you just copy-paste these quotes instead of making an image out of them? Blind people can’t read it if it’s an image.

Yes, but if you have 5 > 3, you can read the “>” in two different ways:

1. 5 is greater than 3 (reading left to right)
2. 3 is less than 5 (reading right to left)

So which one is the correct way to spell out “>”? I also was confused about that for some time, since I was taught that the pointy end always points to the smaller number which is intuitive and can very easily be remembered, but I still had to memorize which symbol is pronounced as “less than” and which is pronounced as “greater than” until I realized that at least in every language I speak it’s always read from left to right.

It still takes a bit of a second for me once in a while these days to remember the correct name for the signs when I see them.

My teacher put a kid with dwarfism and tall kid side by side in front of the black board and drew a line between the tops of their heads, and then another still downwards but in the opposite horizontal direction. Thus the pointy end always faces the smaller thing, while the open end always faces the larger thing. Doesn’t work so well in english, though since it kind of implies people with dwarfism are “less than” people without the condition. In the language it was taught the verbs used for < and > are also used when comparing heights.
