  • Yeah, once it dawned on me how it worked it was intriguing. This Fediverse stuff is neat, here's hoping that it'll catch on as redditors jump ship, so that the community can drown out all the Russian bots and such.

  • While in the community, click on the Edit icon (little pencil and paper icon) in the top-right box where the name of the community is located. There are all your settings for the community that were available when you created it, including the icon and banner. You can click the X in the top-right of the either to remove them, or just upload a new one.

  • I never did buy the whole pee tape thing. Trump shrugged off publicly saying how he sexually abused women just before getting elected president. There's no level of shame that can affect someone with no conscience.

    To me it's much simpler - the Russians own his ass, literally. They bailed him out when he was going bankrupt in the '80s, and he's been beholden to them ever since.

  • Inb4 the lemmygrad.ml pro-Putin brigade that will tell everyone how Ukraine should roll over and die and the U.S. is nothing but a warmonger.

    I'm sure Trump will deliver an end to the war in Ukraine juuust as soon as he comes through with Infrastructure Week.

  • To me this just seems like a "streamlined" (Microsoft 365 proprietary) VDI system that serves the exact same function as thin clients connecting to Azure for the "Windows 365" VDI environment.

    Anyone know if I'm off the mark or why this is different in any way?

  • For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?

  • it isn't sublemmy for some reason, I think it is just "communities"

    IMO it works to just call them "subs" because you subscribe to them.

  • Yes because having that rule worked so well for reddit over the years. It's unfortunately an unenforceable rule so therefore etiquette at best.

  • And finally, you hit some truth. Yes, being disrespectful means different things to different people in different contexts and in different areas of the world. If someone turned to me in public and said "hey buddy can you pass me that thing", I wouldn't think twice about it. I'm guessing someone from Brooklyn (e.g. @BrooklynMan) likely calls people meets on the street buddy as a matter of course.

    But go ahead, feel free to keep taking offense to anything you like. You're not obligated to have a good reason.

  • He made numerous overtures to try and ‘avoid’ a conflict from breaking out.

    Putin: "If you allow this country to have protection from me invading it, I'm going to invade it."
    U.S.: "Yeah... we're going to consider allowing them protection from you."
    Putin: "Oh no... somebody stop me from invading this other country...! Here I go, I'm gonna invaaaade..."
    U.S.: "Okay."
    [Putin invades Ukraine, begins murdering Ukrainians]
    U.S., months later: "Alright that's enough, we're going to help these Ukranians to keep you from murdering them."
    Putin and his sheep: "tHe U.S. iS wArMoNgErInG!!!1!!"

  • The US is an imperial warmonger and they created the conditions for a proxy war, which Russia engaged with.

    So the U.S. made Putin's army roll its miles long line of cold-war era military equipment into Ukraine in November of '21?

    It's hard to lie about things that the whole world was watching.

  • Then you are morally okay with Ukraine being wiped off the map and the murder of as many of its citizen as Putin's army can manage.

  • Really it works just to call them "subs" the same way we did for subreddits, because you subscribe to them.

  • +1 for MFA. MFA all the things. Mastodon has it, Lemmy should too.

  • Well I suppose that depends on the quality of the sex worker. You can hire a high dollar escort for $1,000/night, or you can get a $20 quickie from a crackremoved in the alley behind the strip club.

    So... I guess you could say there's an exchange rate from USD to fucks.

  • Yeah I think I'm getting it now, browsing midwest.social then subbing to the communities that I want from there here on lemmy.ml. Thanks!
