It’s a setting you can change in your lemmy profile, and having the bot setting turned on doesn’t stop you from posting manually.

I’m not sure if it goes the other way around though so bad-faith bot posts pretending to be real people could probably still happen if the bot setting is never enabled.

Edit: just to be clear Blaze is definitely not a bot but I don’t think bots necessarily have to have the bot icon.

Can we get this thread like once a week or every other week or something? This is awesome

I’m also Gen Z and this was me for a while as well. Something that really helped me is not focusing as much on all of the million things going wrong that are way out of my control, and taking smaller steps wherever I can to try to make things better. That shift in perspective has made a lot of things more manageable and less overwhelming even if I still ultimately have the same negative outlook on everything that’s going on right now.

Hate to break it to you but people born in 2006 are turning 18 this year (and are technically considered “adults”).

Is that definition not supporting your points though? It defines gender as mostly a social construct, which imo reinforces the fact that it’s made up and not a tangible thing anyway.

Sometimes biological sex matters (e.g. as medical info for a doctor to understand) but other than that it’s connected to gender in name only, based on made-up social rules.

For me windows uses 3-5gb of ram on idle just after starting up. This is pretty consistent across multiple computers for me. On the same computers (I dual-boot on both my laptop and desktop) Linux idles at about 800mb-1.2gb. This was even true on KDE which was one of the “heavier” feature-rich desktop environments. I think Gnome might have been 1.5gb ish but I haven’t used in a while. Either way, it used way less RAM than my windows installs which could noticeably impact some resource intensive programs like blender or davinci resolve

I wouldn’t call necessarily call it “unproductive” though? He has been lobbying in cases and contributing to the right to repair movement for several years now. It’s not like he’s doing nothing, he’s doing everything that he has the power to do.

Anything that touches the internet can be scraped. Mastodon DMs aren’t encrypted, and public posts are obviously public. There’s nothing stopping someone from using the API or any web crawler to harvest data on mastodon users anyway.

Not arguing for/against threads, tbh I don’t even use mastodon much because I don’t really like the idea of microblogging to begin with

Nevermind then, that’s good to hear! I enjoyed but I eventually had to switch back to Jerboa because it was the only client at the time with proper spoiler support.

Fair warning: Liftoff may not be actively maintained, as the GitHub repo hasn’t had a commit in about 2 months now

Here’s the link for those curious: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff

Lemmy in general uses this but a lot of mobile UI’s don’t have proper implementations (or at least they didn’t for a while). I’m not sure if liftoff is still in development but the reason I switched back to Jerboa was because spoiler support was finally added

Some people are speculating a database error, because apparently 0.18.3 requires a database migration to work, here’s the other post I just saw about this: https://lemdit.com/post/262746

Seems to be down, I haven’t heard any news but can no longer log in
