@Boozilla Smoked trout is the only trout based food I know that doesn’t smell like satan’s unwashed genitals.

@Funkymatt You want something that tells people that doing a U-Turn is a normal thing to do with a car?

@Moeaverage

You guys confused me because I couldn’t see any emojis in any of your names. Until I clicked on @SgtSilverLining 's name and then the link to view the profile in the original instance. Turns out kbin doesn’t have the concept of a display name, only usernames.

@Kolanaki

and even emojis (as you can see with mine).

Looks like either you have a capital letter in your username and what I see is your username, or you don’t have an emoji in your display name, or kbin strips emojis from usernames.

Edit: It appears kbin shows people’s usernames, not their display names. That said, you still seem to have a capital letter in your username.

They won’t be getting familiar with the fediverse though. They’ll be getting familiar with Meta/Threads, as happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

Why ID 85347 in particular?

As a kbin user, I’m really excited about Artemis.

Sadly not. It might not even be appealable.

I would claim actual free speech absolutists don’t exist.

Musk is a proponent of near-absolute free speech

Anything goes, so long as it doesn’t hurt his feelings personally

Does he? Is that even possible?

The difference is that rather than just having no expectation of privacy against recording (Reddit model), in federated space you are guaranteed an official subtitled hologram with sound is recorded by design and shipped to other town squares all over the world and shown. And you have no expectation that you’ll be able to convince those town squares to delete theirs once they have it and basically no chance to if your own town square is bulldozed or your town has gotten into a feud with theirs since you did your townsquare shouting.

Boneappletea?

Are you saying that these CEOs have it in their contracts that they get a ridiculous amount of money if they fuck up enough to get fired? Doesn’t that incentivize them to be reckless?

My thought exactly as soon as I heard that monster is being “exiled” to Belarus.

second meme on the page, reaction to first one.

Taught me how to avoid Poseidon’s kiss.

Easy. Kbin/lemmy admins actually listen to their users, unlike spez and his cronies. The asshole can move to their own instance and continue there, but that might get them defederated.

Writing a cookie and reading it back should work just fine even in incognito mode. It just gets deleted once incognito is closed.

It’s an unavoidable feature of federation that up-/downvotes are public. Kbin chooses to make that fact visible, but if it didn’t, it would be easy to make a tool to get that information from any fediverse instance. Kbin making that fact visible at least alerts you that your votes are public.

There is not a single word that’s universal to all languages.

1. Even if there had ever been one at some point, there are languages that have/had word retirement as part of the culture speaking it: If a word is used as someone’s name and that person dies, that word is now taboo and a new word is needed to refer to what the old word stood for.

2. Conlanging, especially by laypeople, often explicitly makes up most or all of its vocabulary from scratch or uses cyphers to make the connection invisible. I wouldn’t be surprised if a people made up their own secret language from scratch, maybe initially with very similar grammar, that developed into a native language for a community.

3. Have you heard of Cockney rhyming slang? Take a word like “fart”, use a two part word that rhymes with it, like “raspberry tart”, then drop the rhyming part. That leaves you with “raspberry” meaning “fart” and no discernible connection to the old words this utterance/meaning pair came from.

4. Sign languages are languages as well, and in multiple instances developed from the ground up without influence from the surrounding spoken languages.
