That would require more than one brain cell to rub together. All orange cats only have one collectively; and it’s not always their turn to even use that one.

Do you honestly think something as trivial as jurisdiction is going to stop them?

Toilet paper is more respected than your Constitution. Stop expecting ‘the law’ to protect you from those that write and enforce the law.

Who could have possibly seen this coming…

Major version changes for any software from the OS right down to a simple notepad app should update as sequentially as possible (11>12>13>etc). Skipping over versions is just asking for trouble, as it’s rarely tested throughly.

It might work, but why risk it.

An example: if 12 makes a big database change but you skip over that version, 13 may not recognize the databases left by 11 because 12 had the code to recognize and reformat the old database while that code was seen as unnecessary and removed from 13.

Stuff like this is also why you can’t always revert to an older version while keeping the data/databases from the newer software.

Connecdicut or Connecticud?

That’s a mighty fine top hat he’s wearing, but who tf is that posing with his fish??

The man himself, no; but the power he wields and the manner in which he does so?

A solemn admission or a triumphant proclamation…

That’s very subjective.

Both platforms have the option for mods to tell you exactly what you did wrong; and on both, sometimes they utilize that option sometimes they don’t.

It’s entirely up to the individual mods in each specific community.

Lemmy does generally tend to be a bit more open; just because it’s a growing platform looking to expand its userbase, so the mods make a bit more of an effort to create peace/understanding vs just ban hammering any problems into oblivion.

Reddits grown big enough that it can throw its weight around a bit carelessly and have less worry of the userbase collapsing.

Or,

and hear me out on this one; he could go fuck himself with a loaded shotgun.

Sure he did. He dodged a bullet.

There was more than one.

I don’t think classic SMS does this, but RCS and IMessage both do. SMS has ‘delivery reports’ (ie, the carrier will let you know when they succeed in transmitting it to the phone), but not actual read receipts.

No, no, no; We’re just giving Mercury a retro-grade.

I’m thinking maybe a C to C+ at best. I mean it’s kinda ‘retro’, but that’s definitely not the first description that comes to mind.

As a sender; sometimes a message doesn’t warrant a response, but it’s nice to know it was actually received/seen.

As a recipient though, I’ve always found it a tad creepy and turned it off on every phone I’ve had.

You probably should, but that doesn’t mean you do. It’s not like anyone makes you take a quiz to go wander around outside.

Plenty of people get themselves into trouble all the time exploring places/things they know nothing about.

Imagine being out exploring new islands, not realizing its low tide. You setup camp for the night on an island that’s relatively flat and close to current sea-level. Then while you’re sleeping the tide comes in and washes your whole camp out to sea…
