AskReddit, being the best comparison I can make, had a lot of questions with an established theme. Usually along the lines of asking Redditors what they thought or experienced around some topic.

AskLemmy on the other hand never really established a particular culture, and not everyone here necessarily came from Reddit. So instead, it's become more of a community for general, genuine questions, rather than one seeking subjective experience or thoughts.

I can't believe a random technical error would design and deploy a Black Friday popup ad right at the time of year where it would be relevant.

The machines are going too far, we need to shut them down.

We've had an answer since the Internet was created: don't let kids have unsupervised access to it.

Instead we give toddlers tablets before they can read.

It's inconsequential anyway. This bill was never really about kids in the first place.

I had a teacher in third grade send me to the vice principal's office because my handwriting was, and is, terrible. His idea of dealing with a 9 year old whose handwriting is bad was apparently that if you scream at them hard enough, their good handwriting will just come out. They apparently decided to not inform my parents of this event, so they were quite surprised when I came home and started apologizing because I got in big trouble at school.

Well, my dad went up to the school and showed them he could scream, too. Sent the teacher to the staff room in tears, and the vice principal suddenly lost his volume when he's faced up against a 6'2 farmer instead of a 9 year old. Neither of them tried anything like that again.

Alma and Rocky aren't really distros intended for casual use, they're designed mainly with servers in mind. If you want an RHEL-based experience designed for a desktop, go with Fedora.

I used CentOS for my servers during CentOS6/7, but since they moved to Stream I run my servers on Debian or Ubuntu instead.

I enforce ISO 8601 for the shared storage in my office. Before I got there, files were kinda stored in all kinds of formats, but mostly month first.

I tell the person under me she can store her files in her user any way she wants, but if it goes into shared storage, it's ISO 8601. I even have a folder in there called !Date format: YYYY-MM-DD Description to help anyone else remember.

Can't imagine how frustrating it must be to be Edward Snowden, give up a lucrative future in government work to do the right thing and put the word out, be hunted for the rest of your life by Uncle Sam. The collective response to your sacrifice was a big fat "meh"

Interestingly, Margot Robbie, the actress for Barbie, is actually a Lemmy user. I randomly found her in a thread talking about the movie industry strikes.

I hate that people consider that to be the usual use case when referring to a deceased person. I'd say that says more about the people roasting than the poster.

!newcommunities@lemmy.world for a proper link accessible from any instance.

Money.

Man, seeing people putting in effort from r/transcribersofreddit always reminded me about how many good people are in the world. It's a shame they won't be able to keep going, and even more of a shame that Reddit doesn't care about blind people using their platform.
