AskReddit, being the best comparison I can make, had a lot of questions with an established theme. Usually along the lines of asking Redditors what they thought or experienced around some topic.
AskLemmy on the other hand never really established a particular culture, and not everyone here necessarily came from Reddit. So instead, it’s become more of a community for general, genuine questions, rather than one seeking subjective experience or thoughts.
Yes, I’m not sure if it’ll be ready by this year’s tax season or not, but it was happening. Last I heard they were doing some limited runs on it.
For those in the US: Learn how to file your own taxes. It’s really simple for the large majority of people, and usually just consists of copying numbers into boxes off a sheet your employer made for you. After you’ve done it once, subsequent times you’ll probably have it done yourself in less than half an hour.
You can do it for free on a ton of sites unless you make significant income, freetaxusa is typically the most highly recommended one.
My coworkers look at me like I’m a monster for just grabbing a fork and eating the chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs straight out of the can.
There are far too many ways for an immortality wish to make your life hell in ways that a money wish uh, wishes it could.
I assume you’re talking about tracking score on profiles ala Reddit? There’s nothing stopping anyone from making their own client or modifying lemmy-ui to do that if someone really cares.
But honestly, Lemmy has enough bots posting stuff that I wouldn’t want to bring more incentive for karma farming in.
I didn’t go full keto, but I did tighten up my sugar consumption once and tried to keep it as close to zero as possible for a couple of weeks.
I can’t say I had hallucinations, but the cravings are seriously real. I didn’t even stop because of the cravings though, I stopped because sugar is so ubiquitous in everything that trying to find a drink to buy while working that didn’t contain sugar and I actually liked was difficult. I tried drinking tea with stevia as a main drink, but the taste of it never really acquired for me.
If they’re going by user agent, then a VPN won’t help. But user agents can be spoofed trivially, especially on a PC. If it’s geographical, you could try parking in a place with low average income and look up prices with the browser set to incognito/private.
I could see why someone would think it, though. My girlfriend got her license very late, we went to the same DMV 3 times to take the test. First time, bapped the pole during the parallel park, instant fail, do not pass go, do not collect a driver’s license. Second time, didn’t pass the parallel park but didn’t bap the pole, so continued. Got marked “Fail” on things. More practice, third time, again, tons of fails over minor errors. Note that there is a middle point between good and fail, but they literally never used it.
Fourth time, I said screw that DMV, we’re going to a different one. We went to a town with a tiny DMV with one little older lady running it, she literally had to lock up the office portion for every road test because she was alone. Girlfriend miraculously did the parallel park perfect, not a single fail on anything, and 2/3 of the middle scores. Passed easily.
First DMV had a lot of young workers, so my thinking is they like to mark everything they can to show their bosses how good they are at nitpicking other people’s driving.
I just have Spotify and, if it counts, YT Premium. Spotify is on the family plan where my dad has his own account tied to mine, and he can just pull up basically any music he feels like listening to instead of asking me to find it for him.
As for YT, I’m just too lazy to set up blocking the ads on my TV.
The only thing I really miss is doing data calculations in Google because I have shitty Internet and I want to know how many hours I’ve gotta let this thing download before I get my bandwidth back.
At this point, the community is clean. So unless more is posted, then you should be good. If someone searched for the community and caused a preview to load while the content was active though, then it could be an issue.
From what I was informed, purging a post doesn’t remove the associated cached data. So I didn’t take any chances.
Not really. You could technically locate the images and determine precisely which ones they are from their filenames, but that means you actually have to view the images long enough to pull the URL. I had no desire to view them for even a moment, and just universally removed them.
As mentioned in my edit above though, ensure you are in compliance with local regulations when dealing with the material in case you have to do any preservation for law enforcement or something.
I’m on 1.18.4, once I deleted the most recent images, the former CSAM posts(among others) became broken images. So yes, it was pulling from local disk cache. Then I took care of the posts themselves after the content was invalidated.
Baka and it’s various forms are actually stupid, fool, idiot, and the like. Calling someone stupid is a pretty common way to insult them, so if you see that, it’s probably pretty literal
Yup, that’s why I mentioned they were disrespectful, but are often translated as curses for English understanding.
That’s correct, you can insult someone accidentally while complimenting them in a similar way. The particles は (as in wa) and が (ga) have different connotations that can simply different things.
So saying メリーさんの顔はきれい (Mary-san no kao wa kirei, “Mary has a beautiful face”) causes an implication that Mary has a beautiful face, (… But nothing else about her is beautiful). Changing the は for が makes the statement come across as intended.
Without going into detail on the whole wa vs ga thing, wa is more like “as for x…” which can imply a “but…” at the end, whether stated or not, which causes this effect.
While not my native language, in Japanese, many insulting things to call people are often translated as English curses, but actually are just increasingly disrespectful ways to refer to the listener. The actual translation for them is just “you” but not respectful. This might not be a complete list, but I got most of them at least.
Anata - Polite way of saying “you” but not often used in conversation except between spouses or lovers. It’s preferred to use the listener’s name instead.
Kimi - Rude in a polite setting, but not explicitly disrespectful, necessarily.
Omae - Now you’re on the level of picking a fight, but good friends often use this for each other.
Temee - Extremely disrespectful
Kisama - Extremely disrespectful
Kono yarou - Extremely disrespectful
I consider it occasionally, then remember I’m paying a ton more to save like, 15 minutes. Then I just go get it.
