They’re tankies, they’re pro-Russia, pro-China (to a bootlicking degree) and pro North Korea. Basically anything anti US/west.

They’ve been slurping up Russian propaganda and try and argue that the pro-EU demonstrations in Ukraine in 2014 was some kind of CIA op (because the notion to them that people would willingly choose western ideals is inconceivable) and that Ukraine is full of Nazis and Russia are the good guys defeating Nazis.

I’d strongly avoid blocking the Lemmy.ml instance in your settings. Hexbear and lemmygrad are also similar instances to avoid.

@WestBromwich@feddit.uk did you even know you’d been banned due to this comment?

People will be toxic no matter what. I don’t think making prospective new users feel unwelcome is a good idea when we’d like to see some growth.

It’s a noble goal don’t get me wrong, but cars are just way too convenient to get rid of for most that don’t live in the central zones of cities. Just things like taking your kid to their swimming lessons, evening activities, going to the tip and garden centre and dropping off at your parents en route, visiting friends that are several villages away, kids birthday party and then going to the supermarket after to pick up some food etc.

Something I’ve noticed is that people on Lemmy never seem to advocate for busses, it’s always trains.

As much as people on Lemmy love trains, they’re not replacing cars no matter how good the infrastructure is.

Trains are already electrified.

return number % 2 === 0

Absolutely boils my piss that sometimes you don’t get a choice of 0% and that it asks you while you’re ordering your food! It’s so blatantly a service charge but trying to guilt you into leaving a tip. Which daft bastards are giving more than the minimum? Who the fuck tips before they’ve even got their food and been served?

OP never stated what country they’re from, you’ve just gone on some rant about Trump without even thinking that they may not be from the US.

Classic US defaultism.

You’re supposed to stop using the mouse while it is charging, and use the mouse unplugged.

Why? Says who? There’s been a few times where I’ve booted my work laptop up in the morning and my mouse is dead and I’ve had to plug it in. Once it’s charged I unplug it. What’s the harm in that? I’d be way more furstrated if I had to open up my laptop (I keep it closed with an external monitor) and use the trackpad instead.

I get that, but it doesn’t really make sense with a mouse as I pretty much never see the front of it as it’s always ahead of me. The only person who would see it would be if someone were to be sat opposite.

This is clearly propaganda by Big Penis.

Take up running they said. It’s free!*

Can’t disagree, every nation has the right to defend itself.

For me feddit.uk stuck out as when I was joining Lemmy, (my initial choice was lemmy.world), it seemed like it would be a safe bet as it was clearly set up by UK based people that had also come from Reddit like myself, so it had a sense of familiarity. I’m guessing that’s why the other feddit.<tld> also became somewhat popular instances.

Wait, do other countries not do this? So if a public holiday falls on a Saturday it doesn’t get pushed to Monday?

And you have to wait for that close button to appear.

It was awesome. Especially paired with the msn messenger plus mod.

Near the end of its time and also when WiFi was taking off, I had friends with everyone in a uni house, but their WiFi was quite unreliable, so every hour or so I’d get 6 “person is online” pop up toasts appear simultaneously, stacked up on top of each other.

I think this is another one of those cases where the US does something different to the rest of the world: the majority of people were using msn messenger but the US was using aim.

Same, it was pretty much an instant change too. Which sucked as Facebook chat was very unreliable at the time and obviously not very feature rich.
