I expect you need to look in the Lemmy.World moderation log to see to what degree lemmy.ml users were or were not problematic (I've no idea either way.)

One reason is that every implementation I've ever tried relies on using the wired earphones as an aerial and Apple magically convinced everyone that having a 3.5mm port is somehow a bad thing.

For those who didn't read the article, Trump claims Biden is too old and senile to be trusted to run the country then proceeds to confuse WW2 and WW3, then confused Biden and Obama and then immediately after confused Hilary and Obama (ie, the headline slightly understates it if anything.)

They always say that like it's anyone's problem but their own. Figure out how to make your business model adapt to changing circumstances or die out, either way this is a problem for McDonald's to worry about internally, not for society to worry about on their behalf.

I can't remember who (probably all of them) but one of the fang companies offers a service where they'll send you a truck with a huge backup server in a shipping container to do an on site backup to drive back to their cloud servers (for similar reasons.)

To be clear, they seem to be saying that those apps will still be preinstalled. They'll just be easier to uninstall if you want to do so.

"option for the first time to uninstall the Camera app, Cortana app, Photos app, People app, and the Remote Desktop client. "

Such a weird stance to take and to make a point of wedging in there. I thought perhaps on reading I'd find he's being misinterpreted or taken out of context but he's very explicitly like "child porn isn't an issue and we should do nothing about it." Quite a worrying position for him to take.

Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows

AFAIK the intention was to build a franchise and now Robert Downey Jr has finished with Marvel they're all keen to pick it back up again (he's also pushing for Jonny Depp to join the franchise.)

You can be sure that they are counting every hypothetical drop of energy saved this way and taking credit for it to their benefit somewhere.

As in title. Just wanted to report this in case somehow the Lemmy.world devs somehow aren't already well aware of this. I've had a new, not detected by my email provider (so probably fresh) phishing email on the address associated with my Lemmy.world account almost daily since the hack. While there's always a possibility it was grabbed somewhere else, I assume that means the hackers grabbed the user email address's of the Lemmy.world users to flog cheaply to spammers. Not much Lemmy.world can do retrospectively but might be worth looking at ways to avoid that being as easy in the event of another lemmy software security issue (could the addresses be stored encrypted possibly?) and, if possible, confirm that this has actually happened then issue a PSA to users so they are alert to be wary of suspicious emails to the account they registered with.

I've noticed that on the main feed that sometimes when the post at the top has an image or animated gif, when it's bumped down by a new one that also has an image or animated gif, the first post's image or gif is sometimes displayed instead for a short time.

The issue is that I just had a NSFW animated gif post at the top of the feed (blurred out) that got bumped down by a SFW animated gif post but temporarily that second post had the unblurred NSFW animated gif from the post below it in place of it's own.

Lemmy.world. Which is ONE example of a Lemmy instance. Lemmy instances don't even need to have Lemmy in the name.

Lemmy is a system that allows anyone to create what is essentially their own Reddit. Each of those are called instances. Lemmy.world is one of those, Lemmy.ml, is another, Beehaw is a third. Each of those Lemmy instances are run by different people for different reasons. Each of them have their own communities. A community is like a subreddit. The post you commented on ("PSA: Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy") was posted to the "Fediverse" community on Lemmy.world. Lemmy.ml could (and possibly does) have it's own Fediverse community. That would be separately run with separate content to the Lemmy.world Fediverse community.

Where it gets a little confusing, is that users in each of those different instances, can access and participate in the communities in each other's instances. IE, if you set up your own Lemmy instance called TimeLighter.IsCool and created a community called "Timelighter appreciation society" I could potentially join that community using my Lemmy.world account (assuming you allowed it.) I wouldn't need to create an account specifically on the TimeLighter.IsCool Lemmy to access it. If I did though I'd still (in theory) be able to use it to participate in the communities here at Lemmy.world.
