Me too. I still use Reddit via the website. I think Reddit is also in a negative place at the moment too. It seems that most things I see these days are negatively voted, or Reddit’s algorithm has changed and it mostly shows me negatively voted content in my feed.

I disagree with your statement about not seeing this type of behaviour on Reddit and it appearing civil and intellectual comparison.

I think voting should be as what was originally set out by Reddit; I don’t know if it’s still in their guidelines. The voting system indicates the relevancy of the contribution and whether it adds to the discussion or not. Spam and off-topic contributions gets shoved to the bottom and everything else rises to the top.

Obviously most people on Reddit these days use it as a like/dislike, agree/disagree voting system as well.

Does Lemmy instance owners and community mods ban people for having a different opinion that’s so benign?

Some Reddit mods attempt to be authoritative and ban people who hold different opinions to themselves. I know I have and I stay out of subs that relate to politics, the news, and anything divisive really.

I have a friend who’s in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he’s installed, he’s yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he’s tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.

I had a friend who had a SanDisk and it also failed. I also think SanDisk thumb drives suck.

I’ve seen many Kingston drives at work fail, which I think is interesting because their thumb drives are some of the best. Actual USB 3 speeds and built well.

I had one around 2012-2013 and it failed on me. I had issues with it throughout its life but I didn’t realise it was the drive until I upgraded to a Samsung.

When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS’s XS package (this 1€/month). It’s one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it’s a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it’s just straight forward.

One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don’t want to set up your own.

I think perfection is probably somewhere between dark and light themes. Light can frequently be too bright where it feels like you’re looking into the sun. And dark can be like working in literally the dark, and it’s sometimes too difficult to see the boundaries between objects. I think it would be cool if we had a sliding scale, where you can pick from several brightness levels.

I thought I’d give you context just in case, as your question was vague. You might not have consumed YouTube and was blissfully unaware. :)

That’s because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they’re funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.

YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.

He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.

Hello Veritasium enjoyer

This is what I was already comparing. Ugreen make thinner cables?

I wonder if it’s the real Elon Musk?

Thanks for the suggestion and the offer. Both are appreciated.

Do you have any reading material suggestions with usenet?

Private trackers sound like hard work. Sounds like you pay a fee to have access to the tracker and you need to have a good upload ratio to not be kicked out.

I’ve got nothing against the owner of adsb.fi, but the owner pulled their data out of the community and wanted to go solo… or that’s the stories I’ve heard, which might be biased against the owner.

Adsb.fi and airplanes.live were once in the same Discord server and worked together for several months rebuilding the community when adsbexchange sold out. I believe the original plan was to create a community where no one person could sell out and rug pull all of the donated data again, but I believe the owner of adsb.fi, Samuli, decided to take his data out of the community and go solo.

I’ve only heard one side of the story and so it might be biased against Samuli.

I would join his Discord server as well but I’ve used all of my server slots. It’s a bit ridiculous of Discord to limit the servers a person can join, especially those who pay $10 for Discord nitro.

As a comparison against Anker, the cables are thinner - almost as thin as the cheap unbranded cables. Or at least this is what my ugreen cables are like.
