Sometimes I put directions into Maps for a work thing and I have to be there before the location opens to the public and when I put the address in, before it will give me directions, the app says, “HEY, THE PLACE YOU’RE GOING MIGHT NOT BE OPEN, JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW, STUPID ASSHOLE.”
It makes me unreasonably(?) furious.
I actually love the fact that stadiums full of people go to political rallies and get jazzed about policy speeches. It’s strange, right? But I’m glad it’s something we get collectively psyched about. In a democracy, it (usually) feels healthy.
No it’s not. It’s well established law that we are allowed to resell our physical media. You’re just wrong. Like I said, if it were up to corporate media lawyers, you would be correct, which is why it’s frustrating to see people like OP & yourself falling into line when no one’s even asking you to. Stop that.
According to media lawyers, maybe. But when I have a CD of music, or a game cartridge, I can sell it to someone else. For money. Because it’s my copy I’m selling. So, what the fuck are you talking about except ceding the point to corporate lawyers for no good reason?
I’m using FF & don’t have that issue nor have I elsewhere.
Sometime extensions cause issues if you have any installed.

That’s right everyone, the Bezos Post is left leaning!
Actually, I wish they’d made his girlfriend a little less, ah, childish.
That is unbelievably irresponsible.
Same shit happens when you have sex with them. Extremely frustrating.
I’m old enough to remember when pop-up blockers blocked pop-ups.
Is that right? Because it seems to me the Republicans can’t even muster up the respect to address the Democratic Party as the Democratic Party and insist on calling it the Democrat Party just to be a bunch of fucking disrespectful assholes. Party leaders have been doing so for decades.
But please, continue your Ted Talk about childish behavior…
Actually this happened to me when I modded Slay the Spire the other night.
Actually, a lot don’t. I mean, like, at least fifty percent. You would be surprised. I don’t think it’s schools being conservative so much as it didn’t occur to teachers and staff that analogue clocks are frankly obsolete (I still like them). I didn’t read this article, but it sounds like that’s being corrected.
Anyways, I really respect your attitude that it’s not worth getting bent out of shape or spending a lot of time on, I think you’re right. A lot of people get precious about it or, worse, make fun of kids like they’re stupid because they haven’t wasted their time learning to read, essentially, a sundial.
When you enter “how to join Lemmy” in search engines one of the first results is this Reddit thread, which explicitly suggests people join Lemmyworld.
In fact, when I point people to Lemmy via Reddit, I use that post also because that suggestion actually makes it way more approachable. I think most people, myself included, are intimidated by multiple servers and feel like they’re “intruding” into private spaces. The size of Lemmyworld might help people feel like it’s more anonymous and a little easier to join as a result, especially since they are being asked to wait for “approval”, which is pretty unusual on the modern Net, let’s be honest.
It’s crazy to me to see all the hollowed out store fronts because local businesses can’t pay “rent.” Especially after the pandemic.
The small business couldn’t make rent, so the Landlord kicked them out, so now the business person has no business and the landlord has a boarded up storefront covered with graffiti. There are entire city blocks abandoned because of this nonsense. Who does this benefit?

Hexbear is way worse, imo. Those folks will straight up harass dissenters. Stay away or maybe just stick to your gaming sub if you’re happy there.
