In Portuguese (especially Brazilian), there are singular and plural forms of "you": "você" (singular) and "vocês" (plural). In English, "you" behaves like a plural because it's followed by "are" instead of "is". The only exception I can see is "yourself" and "yourselves" that refer to both singular and plural forms.

However, In Portuguese, even though we have "vocês" as plural form, we also use "vocês todos" or "todos vocês" ("you all"/"all of you") sometimes.

There are cases where Windows messes up with booting, rendering Linux unable to boot. There's even a recent thing involving GRUB that stopped booting up after some Windows update.

Different organisms react differently to the same chemical substances. There's a study linking ADHD and paradoxical reaction to stimulants:

Many people with ADHD have next to no reaction or react paradoxically to caffeine (coffee/black tea/cola) and other stimulants (nicotine, “Red Bull,” amphetamines).

As I'm writing this reply, I have not yet been able to find any other studies that delve deeper into the matter, but it seems like it's indeed a known phenomena.

This reminds me of a currently trending Brazilian meme (amostradinho) that I'll translate here: "Huh, what audacity! In my presence? I like this way, the lil' exhibitionistic, let me fill your ticket, 'Once upon a day...', and that day is today, it's now!"

It also doesn't prevent advertisements carried through the website's own domain. For example, lots of video platforms send their advertisements through the same domain as the content's domain, so if you block that domain, you'll also block the possibility of watching any content there. That's why you need to have ad-blocking within the browser.

I wonder why disinformation and misinformation is such a problem nowadays... Maybe the access to scientific papers should be opened and democratized so everyone, regardless of social and economic classes, could read and lookup reliable knowledge? Nah, just paywall 'em all and blame those silly conspiracy theorists for online misinformation, it'll certainly work. /s

First Rule: don't rawdog internet, especially torrent search sites. Always use protections.

Second rule: always check if you're on the right site. It's relatively easy to find torrent search sites, but even easier to find phishing sites (i.e. sites that claims to be the original site, but they actually aren't).

Firstly, sorry if this is not the adequate place for my question; if it's the case, let me know.

The title may seem confusing, so let me detail it: I'm more of a commenter person, and some of my comments are replied, and Lemmy notifies me of those direct replies. However, there are moments when those replies receive third-party replies, so my comment turns into some kind of "sub-thread", something that's interesting for me to read and follow. For those third-party replies, I don't receive notifications, so I have to access each direct reply that was notified so to find possible "sub-threads".

There seems to me to be no option to "receive notifications for this post/comment/reply", only the automatic opt-in of notifications for direct replies.

So really isn't there such an option? Or is this an instance-specific feature and the instance I belong to (thelemmy.club) don't have it?
