I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
There’s a French community or two hanging in there, and I sometimes see German or Greek. Surprisingly little Russian or Japanese compared to the rest of what I see of fedi, but I don’t think it’s got anything to do with people being “accepting” of other languages or cultures — it’s just a matter of people who want to use them reaching some kind of critical mass.
Most of the “microblog” posts I’m seeing are pretty short. I seem to remember the images being way too big, though. I made a custom ublock rule or something to make both the lemmy ones and them equally small thumbnails just big enough to decide if I want to load a full-sized one. It’s kept working for a year or something, I had forgotten it was there, but I guess it helps even more now.
Edit: Ah, found it. It’s a firefox/librewolf userContent.css thing. Maybe something similar could be an mbin user configurable option some day.

No. 2, which the Internet tells me is 6.4 mm. It then grows longer, but a fresh haircut is the only time I think about it and it feels great.

“It doesn’t teach the basic number facts, only to count faster,” says someone as quoted prominently on wikipedia.
I suppose it can be fast, but the main use I’ve got out of it over the years is to count automatically using only my fingers while my brain is busy doing other things.
In some web browsers, a mouse click gives the site permission to do things like open pop-up windows and play videos.
But it’s still probably more often about collecting data to add to your profile, recording which topics interested you sufficiently to get you to click the button.
If whichever nation gives it a try next bucks the trend and learns from the mistakes of the past instead of doggedly repeating them, it could go well for them.
I check in on hbomberguy’s channel once in a while hoping that some day we might learn whether he’s retired, or whether he’s just taking his time making a 14-hour video about the history of the smiley face.
No. This place is for serious discussion of facts and ideas only. Everybody stop having fun and being friendly.
The thing they used to show kids to try and get us interested in computer programming back when I was in school about a hundred years ago was called Logo. Apparently there’s now an online version called LYNX which might be worth a look.
According to my browser history:
It’s not the same thing as slavery I think. But it’s in the same moral category as slavery. It would be impossible for me to participate in such a thing in any way.
Dubstep. Like, the kind that was super popular in 2010. It’ll probably be another 15 or 20 years before it’s sufficiently forgotten that the kids can properly rediscover it.
Did you really manage to haul an ice box all the way up there? That’s impressive.

Me and myself get empathetic with each other all the time.
