This whole government makes a whole lot more sense once you come to the realisation that they're all mentally challenged in the literal sense. It wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't even conceptualise how the two things are related.

It's so real that I had to enable 3rd party scripts in uBlock Origin to get past the second page, is that intentional?
I support it if it's what the people want.
I think all wordsearches are mildly infuriating, I could never stand them.
Of course, yes, and that's why I'm not much of an advocate for English spelling reform. Japanese has particularly a lot of them.
Just a learner of Japanese here. Japanese is difficult to read if written purely phonetically because there are a lot of homophones (words that sound the same with different meanings).
So typically kanji carries the root of words and kana is for all the grammatical parts, loan-words, and everything else. Hiragana/katakana duplicate each other but are no more redundant than lower/upper case.
Speaking as a learner, sometimes it's easier to learn the kanji than the sound of the word so sometimes it can make learning to read easier.
Yes, it definitely encourages toxicity, and a kind of herd mentality as well.
Yeah, I think I might turn it off as well, it makes things a bit like a shouting match.
I view it like open source where commercial and non-commercial are on an even playing-field, what matters is their contribution. The freedom afforded by a healthy open-source ecosystem should mitigate negative commercial interests, it doesn't always work out like that but that's the kind of thing I would hope for.
There are actually extremely valuable contributions to open source from commercial entities.
There was nothing in the post indicating what app this was and "Remind" is a generic enough word, even if upper-cased, to make the service not obvious. It could be a porn-site for what we know, in which case that date should naturally be rejected.
What's so bad about that? Even on Lemmy I'm posting things in public, intended to be read by the public, and if somebody wants to train AI on what I've given to the public then good for them. I refuse to use a walled garden. Being proprietorial about online posts is probably not the most effective response to online surveillance. I agree that Huffman is a douchecanoe though.
Blaming spambots is one thing, but whoever set up this community should lock it if they're not going to mod it because there are loads of spam messages here that haven't been dealt with in days. It's a pretty bad look. I'm unsubscribing but I also want to add shame on whoever set this up and abandoned it because it reflects poorly on the fediverse.
