No, it's because WhatsApp was free at a time where SMS were not (you might have a few included in your plan, but you couldn't rely on that)

I am a tech nerd over 30, using a mixture of windows and linux, and watch porn. While I'm not a furry, they have great art IMHO so people can share it even if they aren't 100% into it. Some of it might even be ideologically driven, against the anti-porn drive: Add a lot of good porn content so that in case e.g. Reddit shuts down NSFW there is a good alternative.

I also heard that. But is it actually the case that a significant number of people don't use the file explorer (because they often use tablets/smartphones and not a desktop/laptop PC as main device, which is what I heard as reason) or is it just something people say?

I remember Macron once was like "well, US is too free for us, China is too restrictive, we need to be in the middle".

For me, it has gone to normal. All the subreddits I frequented are open and populated with the exception of one which has been permanently privated, but not to protest.

Tbh, most websites I visit probably aren't that important that they need to be archived. I would assume installing this extension would just contribute to a bloated archive with little additional value.

Wow, that's awful. I just use Firefox mobile + Adblock, which isn't very nice to reddit, but at least allows a somewhat decent experience - except for missing features like /r/Subreddit/comments, for which you have to go in Desktop mode.

On Android, I was not able to install it using Firefox (Button was there, but clicking it did nothing), but was using Google Chrome.

you can watch subs with age restricted content on mobile browsers, but you have to log in. But now you even have to login on desktop for age restricted subs.

 

I looked through the rules on https://mastodon.world/about which are supposed to be also valid for lemmy.world (I think?). There, there is a "server rule" against shitposting (rule 16). However, there is an entire community centered about shitposting on lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyshitpost) and it is not small, so must be known by the admins.

So I wonder whether I misunderstood something? Are the listed rules not the rules for this instance? Below the rules there is "Moderated servers", where the info is not displayed, so maybe lemmy.world is not affected by the rules at all and uses different rules? Or is shitposting an exception because the whole community is dedicated to it? Or is it technically against the rules but nobody cares as nobody is harmed by it?

Codes in physical editions are one of the most useless goods in the world, purely offering something in physical stores which does not need to be bought there.

Some years ago (actually probably a decade or so), I fell for a game like that. My internet speed wasn't great at that time, but the game was pretty large, so I wanted to buy it on disc. However, when I opened the box at home I saw that nothing was included except a code. It wasn't fraud as it was clearly labeled on the box, but unsuspecting me didn't even know codes in physical boxes would exist.

While I don't condone DDoS attacks, the only reason for D4 to be online-only is monetization IMO: Blizzard wants to sell cosmetics, so people have to see other people wearing them. There is little gameplay benefit from being an MMO-lite.

They aren't exactly worth nothing. If you have too low karma (in a subreddit), your comments will be hidden etc. I uttered an unpopular opinion in a sub once, got downvoted to oblivion for it, and since then every single one of my comments is hidden. You always need to carefully judge how many unpopular opinions you can say in a subreddit until your karma falls below the threshold.

 

On another Lemmy instance, I saw that I was not logged in but could subscribe by putting "[email protected]" into the search field. However, when I put it into the search field of this Lemmy instance, it gives me a comment containing that string, but does not allow me to subscribe.

What is the correct way to do it?
