NGL the question and the projections read like they are two different posts.

why are (some) extroverts like this?

I sometimes do this too even though I’m very introverted. I do this because I want to feel useful with the experience I gained and it just feels like a waste sitting on some knowledge and not being able to do something with it.

It’s a really cool thing if you can help someone. And some people have such a need for this, either they completely forget they were very explicitly not asked, and some will ignore it, just in the hopes they get to contribute.

Funnily enough I get to see both sides, because I also sometimes get an answer from multiple people, so I’ve learned how to handle it to some degree.

The best thing to do is not to tell them to shut up, but to acknowledge it and then explicitly say “also wanna hear from [experienced] person as well on this though.”

Yeah I’ve come to accept that there’s an amount of money needed to get comfortable. But when you get there, any surplus will not bring any happiness and might even inspire egoism and jealousy. But there is a line.

Yeah this will populate information about DNA and genomes from you and relatives into their database.

This can be an issue for the following reasons:

• you will give up your privacy to a very substantial degree
• there’s a small chance you will give up safety of you or your relatives because investigators can access your DNA now

My first thoughts were the naked gun or Monty Python movies.

I feel so sorry for the onion.

Depending on your setup, YouTube will still fingerprint your browser and track your behavior, as is common practice with ad networks.

Your cookies and data might be cleared but as long as yt has any way to generate a unique identifier out of your browser preferences, it will identify you and start looking at your behavior / figuring out an algorithm.

Just fyi.

Phoria - saving us a riot

My comfort song :)

Also it’s very relaxing and I think that’s a good thing for my peers lol.

No you’re not. Everyone is different and as long as you don’t avoid relationships out of principle, it’s fine. But if that ever changes, stay open minded. Do what feels right.

Gotta mention Spiritbox. Courtney is one of the most celebrated modern metalcore singers.

Yeah.

Discord needs to moderate, so they ban and therefore conclude their legal obligations.

If it was CSAM and discord thinks it’s bad enough, they will probably forward the information to the authorities.

Now if the authorities think it’s worth an investigation and give it the proper priority, they will start one. If the investigation concludes and they still think you’ve done goofed bad enough, they will persue you under criminal law.

See how many ifs there are and how many people have to sign off on it? There’s quadruple human review at minimum in there, and there’s no way they think they can win on those charges when the evidence if gd damn popcorn.

Also, you can appeal a ban. I got auto banned on discord about 2 months ago and I appealed because I know for a fact I did nothing wrong - I was literally asleep and my last messages did not even contain profanity. I was so mad cause that account is important to me. They reinstated it - to their credit - in a matter of hours. Still, could’ve done without the heart attack.

TL;DR you’re more than safe as long as it wasn’t actual CSAM.

Never convince. If the topic comes up, mention it. Be a living example on how you are convinced Lemmy is the future and people will look into it.

Trying to convince someone is just like trying to change someone’s opinion. It never works. You will either be bothering them or they start thinking of arguments why you’re wrong and become suspicious because you’re selling them something.

I think it’s fine to dislike a culture. You can respect a culture without finding a liking in it.

Not envious of that serial killer having to decide between Assembly and Haskell

I have a similar thing and something I realized about 2 years ago: everyone’s just people. Genders have different tendencies for generalized thinking patterns and behavior patterns but men are just women with different genitals and vice versa, as goes for all other genders.

The differences that exist are quite something to get used to, but there aren’t a lot of them, and the only way to treat your crush is like a best friend that is very open and maybe also has sex with you.

As a guy, getting used to talking about feelings and being open is still hard, but I’m getting better at it. I’m just not as attractive so I have yet to notice someone being physically attracted to me, and only handful have been interested in me at all. Nevertheless, I’m learning and losing inhibitions, and that’s the most important thing.

I would assume if the instance shuts down this means at the next point of sync the instance will disappear from your radar, pulling all posts and accounts and communities from that instance.

Iirc the likes from your account on that instance’s posts might be either completely removed (because the post doesn’t exist anymore) or they are in limbo but invisible and inaccessible, although I have no clue how that would work.

Yeah I can see the API call shenanigans. I’m using super maven for code and it’s pretty good tbh, it gets me 30% of the way or something. But API calls is a no-go, it almost never gets it right because I’m pretty sure it’s very hard for AI to learn the differences in API endpoints.

This is not just an opinion btw, there is a clear link between censorship and effectiveness. Essentially, the more you make topics or content off-limits, the worse it gets at it’s normal tasks too.

This has been studied quite a bit and there’s evidence for it.

Alright no hate on Bernie tho, that dude is a role model through and through.
