I'm baffled how they think child predators are a protected class

That was me a few years ago until they sent me an email saying they were banning my account (for whatever reason, I don't think they ever said why). Now I don't go there anymore/ as much as I can (darn you, pesky search results!)

Same here. I mostly type on my phone alot. So autocorrect here is a lifesaver, either that or I will type slower/ with one thumb.

[–] aloofPenguin@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yes. They added it a few months ago i believe.

Yeah, that is a big plus too (that, and the federation). This can hopefully mean that lemmy can never turn into what reddit currently is.

From a previous comment of mine on the same topic: 

I was browsing around on r/kde sometimes, and there was a banner-thing Saying that KDE Supported open platforms like Lemmy. I took a look at Lemmy's Wikipedia, and browsed around a few days later. I liked the stuff on c/programmerhumour, So I joined. Also my Reddit account got banned (i think, might be deactivated, idk) due to inactivity (I wasn't on for 2-3 years), and I didn't care to do anything about it. Also, as a bit of context for the above, it did take a while from hearing about Lemmy and browsing and joining.

I have recently switched to PieFed because it has a faster development cycle and more features (same username).

3. It has not been added to every phone and isn't

even 10 fucking years old. It's barely existed for 2.

It might be that they are conflating GenAI with services such as Google Assistant ot Siri. Though I personally find that Google Assistant is/was more useful that their GenAI implementation (Gemini).

There are remotes for PC. I have one right now, and they are pretty cheap in Amazon. One nice thing is that they can also do limited control of the TV (through IR, obv).

One thing to keep in mind is that most identity not all of these remotes have a gyro mouse.

Tipping culture is just so companies can justify paying their workers less [than the minimum wage].
