Around 2000 I remember a guy at the computer store telling me that 20 gigs was a ton and how would I even use it? Well, one pirated 700 Meg movie at a time is how (most pirate copies tried to keep movies to 700 mb so they’d fit on a burned cd)
SAY WHAT AGAIN!
NO SERIOUSLY, SAY IT AGAIN, I COULDN’T HEAR SHIT!

So many providers these days STILL don’t get that the more control you take away the less incentive people have to buy their product. Oh I have to see a mandatory FBI piracy warning splash screen and the speed control is locked at 1.5x max? Jeez it’s a shame you can’t compete with the pirated file that has no nag screens and I can blow through at fucking 20x if I want.

I dunno the ins and outs of wiki infighting, but I don’t think one person should have control over whether hundreds of comments get seen or not. Unfortunate if people can quote things that put you in a bad light but unless things are taken out of context maybe just think harder about what you post in the first place.
Deleting a post also removes all comments on it.
This really needs to change. OP shouldn’t have control over the conversations everyone’s having, even if they can remove their portions of it. Even reddit didn’t give OP that power, even if it was removed from the sub page.
FWIW some instances/front ends preserve the comments section, although it ends up being a bit jank. For example, if you load this through lemmy.zip, it shows as an error because OP deleted it. But if you go through old.lemmy.zip you can still see (most of) the comments, although not what the original post was.

You’re welcome, dipshit. If you ever need help identifying things you find scary or putting a comprehensive argument together you know where to find me.
OK well, the rest of us with good media literacy will keep checking the bad places and let you know what to watch out for. Hurry on over to your safe account now before you get swayed by info you can’t be sure about.
Losing it to… reddit cons? You’re not even on piefed. If you’re so worried about disinfo why don’t you switch instances?
So I want to link to things idiots on reddit r/con are saying to point out a trend in right wing media, and that makes it spreading disinfo?
How so? Do we even have cons on lemmy?
We don’t have to keep giving them the false legitimacy of equal time or attention.
If I want to point something out that a shithole site is promoting, I don’t need admin to put up a baby gate so I can’t talk about it. I don’t know how that relates to legitimizing anything.
Yeah but, know your enemy and all that
I tend to think of dropping the subject in Japanese as somewhat equivalent to using pronouns in English. If we don’t know what the context is in English you need a (named) noun. Without context, saying “She tore up the grass” doesn’t tell you exactly who was doing it. Could be a cow, a driver, nosy neighbor Mildred, etc. But after the speakers agree on context, continuing to use the noun instead of the pronoun sounds awkward pretty quickly.
In Japanese it’s pretty much the same but instead of switching to pronouns they drop the subject entirely. Frustrating for language learners, I can assure you. At least in English the pronoun gives you a hint, even if you’re lacking the full picture.
Indeed. When I last checked into it like 20+ years ago, an average road cost ~200 bucks per foot. Shit’s not cheap
I think some of the fights just started feeling extra stupid. In particular I’m thinking of the multiple smiths in the park and the final one with him in the rain.
If the 3rd is mid at least the 2019 one is comparable
