When people say perl, they normally mean Perl 5. Perl 6 is now called Raku and is considered a different language.
I’m so confused by people under this post defending a company’s scheme to make more money that disproportionately affects disabled people.
Why is it insanity?
You can search for communities across all federated instances by clicking on “All” in the communities page: https://lemmy.ml/communities?listingType=All
If they had ads for themselves, I assume they had income. But they say that their platform doesn’t have ads. Where did they get the money to pay their own ads?
Every single shopping cart I’ve seen requires you to insert a coin to be unlocked, which you get back when you return it. Do other countries not have that?
No, I’m not appealing to that. Fuck nazis. (I don’t actually see how my comment could be interpreted as that since my comment was in response to users complaining about having their content removed from other instances or communities, which if anything would make them the free speechers (I’m not saying that they are))
Lemmy, in contrast to centralized platforms doesn’t force you to be restricted to the rulings of a single group of people under threat of being barred from using the entire platform.
My point is, when you are talking on another instance, you are a guest there and it is completely expected for them to kick you out if you don’t abide by their house rules or if they don’t want you there anymore for whatever reason. While it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be criticized for it, the impression I got from the comments on this post is that they think it is some kind attack to a basic human right to remove their comments from a foreign instance and that admins should allow all content your instance allows.
The same can be said about the reactions people from other instances display towards news of some instance defederating from the instance they are on.
I want to remind everyone in here that Lemmy is self-hosted and federated. If you want to make your post visible on their server or community, you have to abide by the rules they set even if they or their enforcement may seem arbitrary or stupid. It’s their server/community you want to put your stuff on and they do not have a duty to accept it. Lemmy allows you to block those communities or instances or even to create or host your own.
The rules are generally on the sidebar of the community or instance (depending on if you want to know the rules of the community or instance).

I don’t think a license will prevent language models from using your post. If anything, you are allowing people to use your post for more stuff it couldn’t otherwise be used, since a license is you giving someone permission to use your work in a certain way, but if you don’t give a license, copyright law assumes that you haven’t given permission.
Since we are on the topic of disliking Discord, what Matrix clients do you humans use? I tried both Element and Nheko (the latter of which isn’t electron based), and they both felt slow, clunky and unresponsive.
The ML, incidentally, was picked to stand for Marxist-Leninist
That’s not true. At the time it was simply picked because the TLD was cheap.
Why does dumping water out of boots have instructions? Isn’t it like dumping water out of any other container?
