Interesting.

Relying on your intuition really is no substitute to actually looking things up. If I had a tattoo on the back of my hand, it should say something like that, so that I won’t forget it. Keeps happening all the time.

On the other hand, the internet is always more than glad to correct my mistakes, so I still see this mess as a win-win for everyone.

IMO link B is the “most original” one. Sort of like an “authoritative source”, if you will.

This should cover it fairly well.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I’m concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

Risky comment of the day. Maybe they just don’t like to hear what I have to say. Maybe I could have been a little less blunt about it. Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Both extremes exist. Hence, the condition about loosing your grip on reality.

People above a certain age should begin to avoid social media and stick with more private forms of communication like email, phone calls, signal messages and f2f discussions. Once your ability to tell fact from fiction deteriorates enough, announcing your opinions publicly becomes increasingly problematic.

Interesting. That exact same logo was used by the app that changed its name to Impressia. So, maybe it started as one thing, but later evolved to what it is now. A confusing journey really.

Isn’t that just a pixelfed app? I think Vernissage changed its name recently. Nowadays it’s like Impressia or something like that.

What about the Marxist-Leninist, communist, socialist, anti-capitalist crowd? I don’t know if they hang around on other platforms, but they certainly are present here on Lemmy.

Also, what about sexual and gender minorities? I get the feeling that there are a lot of queer people on Mastodon. Maybe that could be another selection criteria.

Like this:

Are you queer? -> Mastodon

Are you a Marxist? -> Lemmy

Also, some people will intentionally add numbers at the end of the alias to make it look like all the good names were already taken. Sort of like a joke or a reference to all the bigger social media platforms.

I’ve seen something similar happen when a site doesn’t load all the way. Refreshing fixes that unless something has gone horribly wrong.

What about the times when I have data about two things that really should correlate, but don’t because life is complicated?

You know, like sunshine and temperature? Seasons, wind and location mess things up, and the correlation you expected to see just evaporates.

Apparently there’s a mistake. Feel free to update the article.

Really? I had to look it up, and I found out that it was shut down in late 80s.

So that’s good to know next time I happen to be speaking with someone who is both old enough and from a particular part of the world.

Yes, but first you would need to know that: 411 = “I can’t find a specific community because it doesn’t have a logical name, so can you help me out.” Ironically, the name 411 embodies the problem perfectly.

This is giving me some serious chicken and egg vibes.

With a name like that, no wonder why I never found it.

I read that with “sports” as a verb. Took me a while to realize that “Apple Sports” is the name of the app.

Oh yeah. It takes courage to be the last company to implement something. Like, always-on display, widgets, app library etc. Still waiting for that under-display fingerprint sensor. It seems like Apple prefers to wait 2-5 years before adding an industry standard feature.

Dragging it out is a reoccurring theme here.
