They are an American. It’s not like 900 dollars is some insurmountable of money to pay off in 5 years. 180 bucks a year. 15 bucks a month.

That’s literally a Spotify subscription.

I’m sorry you haven’t paid off 900 in 5 years? That’s kinda on you at that point.

Good ol fashion space.

When I said “handful” I more so meant in all of language yeah there are probably hundreds of words for the empty space between certain things, but in all of human language that’s probably a pretty small number.

I don’t want to know much much time I have “wasted” in my life trying to do something faster and ultimately fucking it up lol

I like your style.

And here I was just taking my crembule torch and some pliers holding onto both ends then cleaning up the bulge of melted plastic with a razer blade lol

You method seems far “cleaner” but I’m lazy and I’ll probably just keep doing my jank method. Still cool tho.

I mean we have lots of words for varying degrees and styles of “nothing”.

A chasm is the empty space between two chunks of the earths crust.

A void is just an empty space well… Void of all things.

An interval is just the time between two events. Technically it’s nothing.

Still a good shower thought. There aren’t a ton of words dedicated to the same phenomenon, but we have a handful.

Except for black cats…

Cause they are spooky.

Just make sure she doesn’t chill so hard she accidentally ends up in Poland without permission.

Hey I’m new here. What do you mean by change instance? Like I see the different subs/communities or what y’all call em, but I’ve just been scrolling through the “everything” tab or whatever it’s called.

I followed some of my interests but generally I just sort by top in the past hour and scroll away.

See that’s where you lose me. Restricting access may as well be the same thing as not allowing the copy to be stored in the first place.

I know all about projects like the British Library. It’s seriously impressive and definitely an important historical archive. It can be burned to the ground and they already don’t allow most people to check out a lot of specific things.

But again I must point out that should there be a war or a sudden shift in political ideology of the government they might decide to destroy or remove certain things they don’t like.

And back to the “restricted access” topic. Who decides what is restricted? Here in a America we are super weird about nudity and sexuality. Other places wouldn’t want their general population to know the recipe for napalm.

I fundamentally disagree with the premise someone else telling me what information I am allowed to see or not. Any version of state or government ran media storage will have those issues.

Method? Idk my roommate for like 6 years was Chinese and he had a keyboard that he could switch between American English and Chinese. He showed me how it worked and the key caps all had a few Chinese symbols next to each English letter and he could cycle between them as needed. He wasn’t as fast typing in Chinese, but it was the only way for him to communicate with certain family as they couldn’t speak or read English at all.

When his mom visited her laptop also had a similar set up except on hers the English letters were smaller and the. Chinese symbols were bigger. I assume because she bought it in China or something.

Who pays for the storage? Who pays for the servers? Who does upkeep? What about any media that state deems harmful or illegal?

Pirates have been doing a better job keeping media alive than any state of government ever will. Governments can be corrupted. Pirates are a decentralized collective.

Private collections will be how legacy media lives on. Not through some state sponsored bullshit.

Ah. I guess that makes sense. I only ever go on social media from my phone so I will only be viewing Lemmy through the lens of Sync I guess. Thanks for the info.

If that’s intentional that seems like a bad idea. Just gonna lead to confusion on the users end and more posts asking why things are “broken”.

Thank you for the info. Are there any other symbols or site quirks I should know about?

Rule 1 for Lemmy overall or that specific sub? Cause I don’t see any rules listed under the “about” tab. I didn’t break rule 1 as its written as far as I can tell. So that just feels like mod abuse because they didn’t like what I said or something.

I also didn’t get any sort of notification for this temporary ban. Is that intentional? It was simply giving me “network errors” whenever I tried to upvote something and the feedback for the user was very unclear.

I know I’m asking a lot of questions but can anyone see the ban logs for everything? I am obviously very new and still trying to figure out how this whole shindig works.

Edit: Thank you for the info. It was very thorough and you didn’t have to do all those links and everything. But it was very appreciated.
