That’s some fine error correction.

Do you have a link backing that up? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but the coverage so far has only turned up a handful of anodyne links and news stories.

I enjoy the “firestorm of criticism” bit. And

On 9 March 1976 the US Federal Trade Commission entered an opinion and order enjoining Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. from using: a) deceptive advertising practices in recruiting sales agents and obtaining sales leads, and b) deceptive sales practices in the door-to-door presentations of its sales agents

Lol. We had a giant set of kids Britannica’s that my folks got from a door to door salesman. I wonder if that was the primary vector for encyclopedias.

Everybody’s like “Encarta” but before CD-ROMs etc, we had massive ass sets of encyclopedias. You’d actually have an encyclopedia subscription so they could send you errata for stuff that changed over time. Sort of like paper DLC for reality.

It sucked.

But pre-Internet it was fun to sit around and flip through the encyclopedias/dictionaries and read stuff. If you were lucky you’d find something sex-related.

Shadowrun. It’s horrific and dehumanizing and dated. But it’s perfect.

Skimming through [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Years_of_Lead_(Italy)#:~:text=The_Years_of_Lead_(Italian,political_terrorism_and_violent_clashes.), most of the attacks seemed to focus on politicians, police, and (disproportionately) members of the public.

A lot of the glee about the CEO murder is that his company’s actions are indefensible, and, as CEO he is responsible for them. It’s very difficult to say the same of the victims of the Years of Lead - many seem to be police, random members of the public, or other members of the same group. With the possible exception of some politicians, it’s hard to see how the victims were responsible for much.

no

I have a large collection of VGA cables and proprietary phone charging cables.

Agreed. For Lemmy content, Lemmy’s UI is perfectly cromulent.

Doesn’t Twitter hide the usernames of people in the thread but still notify them? I thought it had some quality of life tweak that made conversations a bit easier to read.

They don’t currently interact properly. When a Mastodon post shows up in Lemmy, it doesn’t have an appropriate title, the body usually has a bunch of mentions, and the responses aren’t worded like normal Lemmy comments.

I can’t speak to protocol interoperability, but culturally, Mastodon posts rarely work in Lemmy.

We might be hitting tipping points due to climate change. Methane being released from permafrost, ocean currents in the north Atlantic stopping/slowing and fucking over Europe.

That will mess with food production. It’s gonna be bad for us and worse for our kids.

Pretty much this. But I used a function of the host name, so it would be easier to remember.

It gets annoying when the site forces you to rotate the password. After that happened a couple of times I started using a password manager.

That seems really high, even for Canada.

Have you looked at any of the flanker brands, like Koodo, Fizz, Public Mobile?

What happens if your AI avatar votes one way, but you decide you disagree, what happens?

Generally speaking, I don’t think we’re going to go with avatars, since there’s weirdness around what it does/versus what we would do. If my avatar answers a call from Grandma and calls her a bitch, you can be sure I’m turning that thing off. For special cases avatars make sense - people will undoubtedly pay to interact with the avatars of celebrities (e.g celebrity sex bots).

The Mastodon tags and user mentions are also out of place on Lemmy.

Nice!

you just need to say the magic words…
