I would like to know if there is an "official" way to set an account as disabled. For now, I am plan on posting this on Asklemmy, changing my password to some random string that I won't remember, and then logging out. If I'd like to come back later, there's a chance of my account being revived through the "forgot password" process.

I am leaving Lemmy for good. I have spent a few months here, and the first few months were nice and positive. But now it feels much more Reddit-like. Most active communication here is happening at posts that I find negative. All this negative stuff is detoriating my mental health. I'd instead prefer to stay happy and remain ignorant until I personally experience the issues being raised here. 

Of course, a lot of people will disagree with this approach, and they are likely already coming up with comments to post on this thread that I'd find rude and thus negative. But I've seriously had enough of it.

I have a heavily filtered Reddit with a home page filled with people like me. The communities they are part of either don't exist on Lemmy or are not sufficiently active. I will be active with these people until the old Reddit front-end reaches EoL. Please prefer to answer the first paragraph over the rest.

PS: please don't judge me by my comments on my profile. I am a teenager and my personality is still maturing. I cringe at most things I do the next day after doing them.

I had it made by ChatGPT 3.5, so the theming is not perfect. I don't have the time to mess with this right now.

If you are feeling generous, you may customize it and post the changes in the comment section of this post.

This project was interesting. Recently, I've been digging into the functional programming paradigm. This is one of my first tries at it. I've been doing OOP until recently, but this project really was impressive to me. The whole implementation took about nine hours. Functional programming is much less convoluted. I spent more time programming than deciding on a good name for a certain identifier.

Not only is functional programming more efficient, but I can also see that it's much less tedious to write automated tests for. I only have to take care of the local scope of the function I am writing a test for; there is no need to deal with the parent's inherited mess or even any parent's mere state. I just have to write the test for the function.

I have scraped the Cambridge Dictionary to collect the data.

I tried AwesomeWM two days ago, and after two days of hard work understanding the API reference, I came up with this. More screenshots are below.

Although I've always believed that Google collects more, it seems that Meta gets maligned more frequently than Google in the eyes of the general public. Since then I've been growing curious on the matter. Should Meta deserve less respect on this subject than Google?

There have been reports of YouTubers I watch getting sick after eating food in third world countries. However, these countries are also home to a large number of people who do not get sick from eating the same food. I think this suggests that the locals may have developed stronger immune systems. What do you think?
