Alpagu , to nostupidquestions in So how long until the Fediverse is monetized?
@Alpagu@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe one day some applications may open their own Server. I think that only on this server, the application will work, and the server and other expenses can be provided with the subscription system in the application.

Lemmiers.

Potatomache , to nostupidquestions in If beauty is tightly associated with facial symmetry, then why doesn’t everyone have their hair part down the middle?
@Potatomache@kbin.social avatar

Because only a few people have a truly symmetrical face. Your hair acts as a sort of frame and so a middle part can end up emphasizing the imbalances that exist and thus make you look more lopsided. There are also additional considerations to a beautiful face. Symmetry is one, proportion is the other. You can have a very symmetrical face but if your features are smaller or larger in relation to it as a whole, then that can ding off a few points on the "beauty" meter.

That's why asymmetrical hairstyles can work so much better. It can shape your face in accordance to its symmetry and proportion and thus make it appear more balanced.

Reddit2Lemmy , to nostupidquestions in At what point do you list your hair color as "gray" or "white?"

Here’s the thing- It’s not going to get more brown as time passes. Once you find yourself having that conversation with yourself, you are gray.

Where do you get the shaved meat?

Get a steak and cut it yourself. This shouldn’t be hard but requires a bit of patience.

Well you see I hate patience…

Jaluvshuskies , to showerthoughts in Lemmy is so good right now for no particular reason
@Jaluvshuskies@lemmy.world avatar

It feels nice and warm, that’s for sure :) I hope it stays this way but the content grows to where I can use this as my new source of information

Semi-related… You guys have any tips for seeing new popular posts? I have checked subscribed top week, subscribed top day, even month, and then even all for those 3. I feel like I only see new content every 3-5 days. Or is that just because we’re still growing and I’m just used to the overflow of content on reddit? lol

I usually use new comments which works pretty well for me but it’s not perfect and doesn’t take scores into account. I’m sure the hot and active algorithms will evolve over time, will be testing them out as well

Lucky for us this boy is not going to be a genocidal maniac.

She left the gun that had shot Kirk in plain sight to be found be the security team she believed were on their way.

And in fact we heard the footfalls of the team running towards the room just as La’an hit the button and vanished. She didn’t even have time to get herself out of young Khan’s sight.

Track_Shovel , to android in S22 Series vs S23 Series vs Pixel 7 series

I can’t speak to the galaxies, but I have the pixel 7 and I really like it. Pictures are pretty great, and the interface is intuitive. It has some nice bells and whistles, like call screening. Battery is pretty solid too.

Also add Sub Rehab to the ‘jumpstart your subscription’. Has a bunch of subreddits and a way to submit linked subreddits/communities

DeImmortelPotato , to showerthoughts in Lemmy is so good right now for no particular reason

Thank god I found Lemmy, because if I didn’t it probably would have only been a matter of hours before I caved and reinstalled Reddit on my phone at work.

zloubida , to fediverse in Did the privacy concerns have been updated/planned for update?
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

I tend to agree. We should be able to delete what we wrote.

Still, it’s fun to see people criticizing Lemmy for that on Reddit, which does the same thing.

EyesEyesBaby ,

EU law (GDPR) even requires it.

sudneo ,

It is more complex than this. The responsibility falls on the one handling the data, but then each other entity who got this data becomes also a data processor, and should be asked to delete the data. In practice it means you should request deletion to every instance who got your content through federation. This is because the instance you use has no control over what others can do, including ignoring the deletion request. I remember Dessalines mentioned that the best way is to edit all the comments. Either way, we should work on developing proper privacy policies and work together with fedi developers to provide a bulletproof privacy experience.

@Drunemeton@lemmy.world avatar

Same lifeboat. Been here about 2 weeks and am just getting comfy figuring out the federated thing.

Welcome other refugees! Please take off your life preserver and feel free to roam about the Fediverse.

bstix , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in How do you fight random fees added to utility accounts?

You did what is right. Now if you want to do what is wrong, you can withhold the payment of what you think is wrong to make a signal. Disclaimer. This is a legal gery zone and not advisable generally, but with your account needing to be closed it's a fun way to waste time. It's something I do professionally but I would not do it in private.

If your bill is $100 and the fee is $10 then you pay $90.

They'll send you reminders. Eventually they'll threaten with debt collection. Check your laws. If you have complaints and objecting the invoiced amount (you do) it will be illegal for them to pursue the amount until the dispute is resolved. It won't be. With amount like this they'll likely keep sending reminders until their accountant steps in and tells them to write off old debt after 5 years.

Keep in mind that you only withheld $10. They'll claim to be owed hundreds of reminder fees and interest. None of that is legal to collect by debt collection. Again check your local laws.

In the end, it's not worth the cost of debt collection. It's not worth their effort to pursue it. It will disappear eventually.

Anyway. I do not recommend this, but I still do it every day as part of my job. We take shit from no one. They oblige as long as I keep cool, and keep sending them "I already disputed this/what are you even talking about/could you please specify the amount/please provide documentation/I need a full overview" mails.

It's usually not worth the stress privately but it's possible.

Eventually if enough people complain about the fee, they'll have it fuck off.
