And if he actually just wanted to play a video game for fun, he would just do it anonymously. Make a new account, don’t call it Elon_is_the_best, don’t stream it.

He wanted attention and glory, not fun playing a video game.

This meme makes me want to try more metal, and I think that makes me as bad as “the weeb”

I also drew direct comparisons to the electronic music subgenres.

I wasn’t saying they are wrong, just that the community is getting exactly what it wants. Less contribution and visibility on an already small platform.

I commented on a post about putting lotion in a zip bag, and my comment was about putting mayo in a squeeze bottle. Not exactly gendered discourse.

Kind of like a community that only accepts input from say, black people. A question about favorite pizzas being thrown out because my username doesn’t confirm I’m black, it’s just a little weird.

Yeah I didn’t know about the rule when I replied to a post. I was thanked by the OP, then had my comment deleted by mods (based on username only).

Blocked the community, why shouldn’t I if I can’t even participate?

I would say the majority of Lemmy users are more tech savvy than the general population.

Techy people in general dislike Edge, because of a few reasons, (embedded browser, Microsoft affiliation, their injection of ads while looking at other browsers, ect)

A post that praises Edge in the title, true or not, reads as AstroTurfing from a major corporation for a product most Lemmy users don’t like.

It’s just the wrong audience, even if the post is true and relevant.

Huh thank you for the more correct information, I didn’t know about those options.

Wow thank you for the info, I didn’t know they had such advanced lookups.

Websites don’t have an actual check for a legit email… That’s why they send confirmation links to click. Forms check that it ends with @something.something, sometimes they can add filters to not allow anything other than the 20 most popular domains. Or they can block addresses with less than 3 characters, because nobody real has those. But most forms you can keyboard smash anything@anything.anything. They just might make a temp account until it’s confirmed or something.

But joeblow@aol.com almost certainly was/is real.

Edit: looks like I was also incorrect!

What I think is crazy: at your 1 gigabit per second speed, if you use your full speed for only 3 hours you will go over your data limit. For the month.

Well shoot. I know for sure we have hard water.

Damn, I really wanna try this now. Halo 1 pvp on a flight with anyone who I can give a USB stick? Would take me back to high school

A self-driving vehicle is not exclusive to Elon.

I prefer electric cars over gas ones, and think that at some point computer controlled transportation will be more reliable than the average human driver. These aren’t endorsements of any person or company.

Why are you wrapping this up so much with the one dude?

Its like saying that you can’t endorse online shopping unless you also like Bezos.

I had a similar experience on my YouTube TV app, I was watching old history channels in bed, and there was a full length documentary for an “ad”. I could have skipped after 15 seconds or whatever, but I had to INTERACT with the TV before it would resume. I was distracted so it ended up playing like 15 minutes of an hour+ documentary ad.

I’m also in the second camp. Plus, censoring the bad words on specific users is a few too many steps closer to don’t say gay on the internet. Is ass ok but not fuck? Is sex talk forbidden? All mention of anatomy, including general questions about health? How about they ban anti-capitalist language too? The tiktok language phenomenon shows that users will absolutely just make do getting around communication bans, “unalive” and “le$beans” being the most popular. This type of censorship has already happened on other platforms, and it’s all bullshit and useless.

It may be stretched or something but there are 16 marks in between the inch marks, it’s not like they skipped counting a line.

Yeah but I’m doing 64 in a 55, passing the person doing 58 in the right lane and someone comes up behind me doing 75, acting like I’m impeding the flow of traffic.

It takes a little while to pass someone without wildly breaking the law.

It’s just a tips and how-to on how to make your dishwasher work best. Run the sink tap until hot before you start, use cheap powder or gel soap, make sure to use the dispenser and use a bit of soap in the prewash cycle. Great channel though, very deep dives into technology, primarily home goods or oddities.
