“MothBookkeeper is the dictator of the world, and I completely trust his decisions.”
Nevermind the logistics of that; power lives where people believe it does.
Then I could make multiple beneficial changes, such as:

Sync for Lemmy has keyword filters. I set that up the second it was released.
Well, my story isn’t particularly interesting, but I imagine it’s similar to many others’.
I used RIF. Reddit killed RIF. I wasn’t a fan of how they handled that at all, and it instantly soured me against the company. Also, their own app is terrible.
I browsed /r/RedditAlternatives for answers, and tried a few. Lemmy felt most like what I enjoyed about Reddit, and it wasn’t totally devoid of content. I figured out how instances worked, picked a random one, thinking I’d choose my favorite later, and started posting a comment here and there. I tried a bunch of apps, moved from Beehaw to lemmy.world, found communities that I liked, and… well here we are.
I’ll admit, I’ve visited Reddit a few times when Lemmy has felt stale, but mostly I’ve completely moved over without missing it. The vibe is much better, like early Reddit, despite having less content. I’ve felt compelled to contribute more often myself, which makes it more fun.
That’s sad, but comforting in a way.
In our office, any time someone leaves their screen unlocked, we turn everything upside down in the display settings. Good way to remind people to Win + L when they get up. 😆
There’s an added complication that the left lane on the roundabout is for the A610 only:
The street you’re trying to get to IS the A610, no? So yeah, take the left lane.
70 isn’t THAT old.
Hey, it worked! Thanks!
Donations, maybe merch. That’s it. I don’t want the actual content of Lemmy to start being influenced by money. If the server is slow because of it, I’ll donate or just deal with it.
Restaurant menus should be on paper, not a QR code.
Well, the truth is, there are “stupid” questions—or at least, there are questions you could have figured out yourself. There are people that will judge you for asking them, and in a certain light, they have a point. Challenging yourself to figure things out is a valuable skill.
HOWEVER, most people don’t feel that way, and your fear of being judged is often much stronger than necessary. You should ask yourself, “would I get more valuable information from asking the question than figuring it out myself”? Be honest, but if the answer is yes, it’s a good question.
The other thing is, the consequences of asking a stupid question are almost always much less than the consequences of doing something wrong as a result. To illustrate that point, take an example from my life. I’m a manager, and I have two employees. One of them has never asked a question the entire time she’s been working with us, despite me explicitly asking her to. She’s determined to figure everything out herself, but the quality of her work is pretty poor. I have another employee who asks questions constantly. When I review his work, there are very few mistakes, because we’ve already discussed any concerns he’s had. Guess which person I’m considering promoting?
That applies just as easily to a class setting. If you take the risk of sounding stupid when you ask questions, chances are not only will your test scores be better, but your classmates will probably appreciate the questions because they have them as well.
I used to tell people to turn it off and back on again. Now I tell other people how to tell people to turn it off and back on again.
If this were Reddit, someone would post, “What a terrible day to have eyes.”
I love when mathematicians use their power for ridiculous reasons.

I wonder this same thing about my company. The only rational theory I’ve heard - which is completely unconfirmed - is that they aren’t willing to sell the building because it’s still needed for the IT team and a few other purposes, but need a certain occupancy level to not be penalized on their taxes.
