Hahaha I was just thinking it was like they used to have with their glass bottles, not sure if they still sell those in the supermarkets. Iv been getting plastic for years now
Totally disagree, the more tech savvy can spin up their own single user instances if they want, be fully in control of their own content and participate just like anyone on any large instance bar being defederated. All for basically free
I am in the UK and that’s really useful to know. Thanks
Pihole my is choice too. It’s pretty good, but for some reason video ads still get through even off YouTube? Is it possible to block them?
It’s a small foot print for a real user and expensive for bots who are generating enmasse. It worked on Windows 98 PCs so isn’t really an issue like you describe.
Definitely will make things more transparent here and root out the power hungry bad mods.
I think it should be incorporated into Lemmy as a chat function. Also been thinking if I could develop it, I have experience with XMPP from an application my employer creates.
If they also studied a book that contained racist terms for white people, then it would be fair in that context.
However are there any racial slurs for white people that are as offensive as it is for black people? I don’t honestly think so.
Societies moving on, time to drop off mice and men from the syllabus and educate as to why it was removed in a different classroom setting.
The main complaint is that for people of colour, to be sat in a classroom with their peers whilst the derogatory words are read out loud is highly uncomfortable for them. I totally can understand that and why this is now coming up as more and more of the UK are becoming multicultural.
It should be taught in a classroom yes, but probably not in English literature class and something more like a Modern History of British Culture class, where it can be explained why Of Mice and Men was originally selected for a GCSE book, why it’s no longer acceptable, why the derogatory words are disgraceful and then why it was removed from the syllabus. This gives an all round education on the subject. Not perfect but it’s a start.
When I was in high school I was told half-caste was an acceptable term in the mid 2000s, and I still accidentally used it till a couple years ago because I was never told otherwise. It was only because of a friend who is more social than I am told me it’s no longer acceptable to use to refer to people with mixed racial parents.
If I self hosted my own Lemmy on my home server, just for myself and I posted / uploaded images on it, when another user from another instance views my image, they cache it, would this mean later down the line if I deleted to free up server space, if someone else on that instance was to come across my image after deletion, because it was previously cached, the image would still show?
Wondering if rolling storage is possible eventually, where an archive of posts older than 2 years is performed and data deleted.
