You can't patent code, and it's automatically copyright protected. Nintendo just needs to prove they wrote the code originally, which should be easy.

Sloth should be Bethesda.

Let's assume you can use that to determine the beginning of an ad, how do you know how much to skip?

I selected all and it's still not enough of a reason!

Bow to Alec! Let Alec consume you!

Radical approach, because I might miss the post with interesting comments, and people often provide alternative links or straight up embed summaries.

At this point, I suppose lemmy.world account is the alt one. Haven't touched it in months.

Thank you for all the shared knowledge!

As kids we didn't realize it could be any other way, so we didn't suffer. Much... :)

Having an ergonomic keyboard is a step in the right direction, but it's still a device for entering text.

I suppose you have a point. If Hexbear wasn't defederated from other big instances, then they would be more prominent in smaller instances that federate with them too. And when there's a lot of them, everywhere becomes a circlejerk. I mean, both Reddit and Lemmy are circlejerk-y by nature, but at least the circlejerks are usually less harmful than what HB does. I personally haven't had the pleasure to deal with lemmygrad, I think, but lemmy.ml seems just slightly harder lefty Lemmy, I haven't so far seen anything extreme, so Idk if they are toxic.
And again, I think the entire nature of this up/downvote-based media is somewhat toxic. People routinely interpret comments in the worst possible way and pile on it.

The c/196 was unfortunate. It is my only ever ban (so far), as I'm an extremely reasonable person. I have to say that my initial reaction was that, indeed, that instance doesn't want to have a conversation, but have everyone automatically accept whatever they think is right. But if you're saying that the community is an outlier, I believe you.

Your listing of alternative instances was helpful as I'm too lazy to look around, and would likely not found that info on my own. So far our instance is good enough, I think, but I'll consider the alternatives. Thank you for that, too.

Btw, if you're blocking all Hexbear stuff, how did you find my comment? It's a response to a Hexbear user. So you see their comment as well?
