Hexbear is way worse, imo. Those folks will straight up harass dissenters. Stay away or maybe just stick to your gaming sub if you’re happy there.

God, this fucking debate has been going on for decades with you nerds. Bieb or Hannah there’s no right answer, use whichever works best for you!

Actually, a lot don’t. I mean, like, at least fifty percent. You would be surprised. I don’t think it’s schools being conservative so much as it didn’t occur to teachers and staff that analogue clocks are frankly obsolete (I still like them). I didn’t read this article, but it sounds like that’s being corrected.

Anyways, I really respect your attitude that it’s not worth getting bent out of shape or spending a lot of time on, I think you’re right. A lot of people get precious about it or, worse, make fun of kids like they’re stupid because they haven’t wasted their time learning to read, essentially, a sundial.

That’s what I’ve resorted to, but I only use Firefox because it has a master password.

Chrome has no master password so what stops any fool from stealing your passwords while you’re taking a piss, I don’t know.

Password managers always cause me headaches, though, and never want to integrate correctly. More trouble than their worth in my estimation.

When you enter “how to join Lemmy” in search engines one of the first results is this Reddit thread, which explicitly suggests people join Lemmyworld.

In fact, when I point people to Lemmy via Reddit, I use that post also because that suggestion actually makes it way more approachable. I think most people, myself included, are intimidated by multiple servers and feel like they’re “intruding” into private spaces. The size of Lemmyworld might help people feel like it’s more anonymous and a little easier to join as a result, especially since they are being asked to wait for “approval”, which is pretty unusual on the modern Net, let’s be honest.

I want to connect with you, emotionally :)

Oh, I’m okay, thank you. The op comment is intentionally hyperbolic to help drive home the point.

I was thinking about my Reddit account. How it’s really old and has tens of thousands of mean, cranky ass bad takes, half of which are probably not true or I wrote when I was high, depressed, or stressed about events beyond my control.

Those are all getting scraped by Google right now to be rolled up into the permenant knowledge base of their next massive AI model. You’re welcome!
