Spent way too long on this…

Today I was in the lucky 10000.

What’s going on with the kerning?

This is a lie, unless you know something the article doesn’t mention. The quoted chat log shows the character acting horrified and arguing against it.

The North Yorkshire power plant, which burns wood pellets imported from North America

So the trees are grown in America, processed in America and then transported across the Atlantic before getting to Yorkshire? That must use up all the carbon budget before it’s even burnt, surely?

Good, I guess.

It’s understood the same as a middle finger would be, except more Britishly.

Growing up, the story was that it came from when longbows were peak weaponry and the French were chopping the fingers off of captured English archers - the V sign was saying something like “fuck you, I can still shoot you”. There’s insult/defiance/threat in there but it’s not like throwing down the gauntlet (to be clear, we don’t do that gesture any more).

Using rainfall as a(n inverse) proxy for protests is very clever. Interesting to see how the MLK violent protests actually were counterproductive and increased the republican vote share.

I’d heard this as a plumber who knocked a pipe with a spanner.

It seems to have failed to notice the whole transcript and just repeated the intro/summary.

Ah, so it’s not even possible with a different front-end (unless it stores extra data).

Yes, you can go to your profile and click on “Saved” to see your starred posts/comments.

One annoying thing is that it’s sorted by the original posting date, not the time you saved it, which might mean your most recently saved item isn’t even on the first page of results.

As that philosopher said, mo money mo problems.

It’s an increase in reported monthly users, as now activity like voting is also considered, not just posts/comments.

Yup, and with @notthebees’ idea of taking photos as a backup you’ve got what you need.

Having a computer-based one that’s the source of truth (and perhaps accessible online) does make sense, although I suspect this is too niche to exist already.

I know these are famous last words, but this doesn’t sound too difficult to knock up yourself, assuming you know kung-fu coding.

It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you’re downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like “I don’t like this”, “I disagree”, “This is factually incorrect”, “Spam”, “Abusive language”, etc. Then you can filter out the first two!

Did you read the post you’re replying to?

the Israeli settlers who was arrested by the police, will be let go without a charge, as was the case of every single incident before

I’m team Firefox, very happy here. There’s a small amount of optional telemetry to disable to maximise your privacy, and it has the best plugins because there’s a lot of choice and they’re not purposely crippled.

Yup, the software is patched to not allow e in usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.
