Lol at least it wasn't like that time they tried to sue people in Australia for that reason, because Nintendo forgot about time zones...

It's also Hilario that they'd sue somebody for free advertising of their game. Must be a shit title if they don't want people to see it...

I actually really enjoy GIMP as an alternative to Photoshop. My biggest problem with it is that Photoshop keybinds are muscle memory, and for whatever reason GIMP has everything totally different so I almost always end up having to hunt down what I'm after.

I've heard there are ways to get it 1:1 but I've never been able to figure that out. Admittedly, I haven't looked too hard either.

Implying they have their own emulator and it's not just running retroarch or something

I'll have to check that Alan Cross podcast out. I used to love his History of New Music shows on the radio. I never really got into the podcast thing, but I could see myself getting into one if it was hosted by him

I used to like Ubuntu, but I got so sick for not being able to do things due to packages being out of date, and/or snaps getting in the way.

I ditched it for arch and I'm so much happier

If CanCon gave more visibility to ALL Canadian artists, sure. The way it is on the radio, it seems that you don't have to be a good Canadian band, you just have to be a Canadian artist.

uBlock, Revanced, and yt-dlp still 100% free lol

Content creators need to consider looking into alternative platforms though. Seems like YouTube is hellbent on self destruction.

Soooooo we just allow bikes in the lanes with the cars, which will create even more congestion.

Classic conservative reactionary bullshit. You have to literally have 0 brain to think this is a good idea.

Worst part was, it was all really civil I thought. Like, "Hey, this sounds like X but it might be Y"

Turns out the dude was a piece of shit, but still... While I consider myself pretty left leaning, I also like to make sure I've got my fingers pointing in the right direction. Call the piece of shit out for cases where they are without a doubt being a piece of shit. Not for areas where there some room for personal interpretation.

But according to some mods, we should just blast people over anything regardless of verifiability. And trying to further explain the dangers of enforcing nonsense like they're doing is apparently considered harassment.

Their approach:

Me: Appalling the ban, stating the nuance of the post.

Mods: "No, don't contact us again."

Me: Huh? But this, though...
Mods: "No, contact us again and we'll report you for harassment"

Me: I'm all for pointing fingers, but this is dangerous...
"We're muting you now, and also reporting you for harassment"

Reddit admins: "How dare you harass the mods with civil conversation! 7 day ban!"

Me: Appealing Reddit ban, stating the only harassment thus far has been from the mods. Show me where I was harassing.
Human admin: Nope, harassment. Ban staying.

Meanwhile, conspiracy, conservative, and canada subreddits continue to exist no prob...

Reddit can't die soon enough. It's clear that the site is compromised big time.

It's cool you can call stuff out on here. I tried that on Reddit and got banned. Then called out the mods and got banned from the site for harassment 🤷‍♂️

Reddit can't die off fast enough. It's clearly past its prime

Oh no... So anyways lol

 

As a 10+ year Reddit user, I recently made the jump here to Lemmy and was hoping to re-join some of the old groups. Is there a running list somewhere of all the groups on here that started as subreddits?

What's the right term for them, anyway? Group? Sublemmy? Community?
