Yeah, good call on walking away - that’s what I would do in this situation. You really don’t want to risk it, a clean bill of health is worth every cent. Just like the brand new Chlorox Extra Strength Toilet Bowl Cleaner now with Febreeze - leave your seat smelling flowery fresh.
Huh. Terminal curiosity, but randomly clicking through, I saw a lot of 2000’s era racist/sexist humor, mostly banning NSFW, one entirely made up of github links and anime girls, a weirdly normal Reddit clone, and… one that was suspiciously banned from the internet lol.
So, at least one person got Hansen’d. Which, I can’t imagine what they thought was gonna happen there.
I feel like I heard the story of the one banned from the internet. Dude in Ireland hosted a loli instance and got his shit raided. Could be a different instance, but I do know that is a thing that happened
Maybe burggit.moe? They're defederated by the bigger instances because of loli hentai.
Other than that and lemmynsfw, the only NSFW instances I'm aware of are pornlemmy.com and lemmyf.uk. Pornlemmy is specifically focused on vanilla. I'm not sure what exactly lemmyfuk has. It really annoys me that none of these instances show anything if you aren't logged in, not even a list of communities. Yes, I know it's a limitation of the software.
lemmynsfw.com will definitely show communities if not logged in, and you can see everything if you open one. pornlemmy.com shows everything if not logged in. Both of these are from a web browser, and in my experience if I click on a communty from my feed in either connect or liftoff. and if you hit settings and on each instance, by default they are set to filter stuff for not logged in, you can turn that off, even if you’re not logged in.
However, lemmynsfw does in fact block NSFW for people that aren't logged in. When I go there (in a web browser), the front page is full of SFW pictures of celebrities. The community list is just a bunch of celebrity-name communities, along with the occasional porn community that forgot to apply their NSFW tag. If I go to those communities though, no posts appear.
It’s technically all the same font. The script characters are “Mathematical Bold Script” Unicode characters (U+1D4D0 to U+1D503), rather than plain ASCII letters in a separate, cursive web font:
I can‘t even find the @nsfw.Lemmy.world communities? I have NSFW enabled on my account on on my instance (Memmy for Lemmy), and I‘ve seen very few NSFW posts, but why can I not search for them?
It’s still pretty useful to do simple math in your head. For example chicken adding a few numbers together or multiplying something. In general stuff that would take longer to type in than just calculating yourself.
If it’s not important enough to take a few seconds to a minute typing it, it’s not important enough to use a skill that’s severely atrophied from decades of intentional disuse 🤷
That sounds like an incredible amount of work vs just adding rough estimates together. I can add two numbers in less time than it takes to reach into my pocket.
Yes this is also shown to be the case in scientific studies. Something something reinforcing memories by activating several parts of the brain at once. Yes I’m too lazy to actually find one and link it but I’ve come across it several times
Not being able to just slam every word the prof says into your computer also forces you to be more deliberate about what you choose to write down, which makes handwritten note taking a form of active learning–you are real-time engaging with and processing the content rather than unthinkingly slapping a keyboard.
I tried that, but I much prefer the haptics of real paper and writing with an actual pen. Also, I really like the look of ink on paper. Of course, there are still cases when a tablet is just the best. For example, when annotating PDFs.
