That leaves Reddit as a decommissioned sewage treatment plant turned into a bum fight squat haven.

That’s nearsighted. Do you wear glasses? Do they give you headaches?

Not a complaint but a question based on the fact. I wasn’t complaining, but you very much so did to me.

Looks like I’ll be learning about bridges.

How does that not defeat the purpose of Proton?

At least the OAuth2 access is protected. That’s the detail I needed to see.

So many articles suck these days.

That’s the direct implication of the innate nature of capitalism. News publishers drive researchers and writers into mill writing which unfortunately involves reworded mimicry of the few who publish the original “investigative research” they recorded from the source. They’re doing it for money too, so they aren’t alloted enough time to fully investigate off they want to publish their name to juicy details first before those who can and will fully investigate it to publish a full exposé.

We expect news publishers to dramatize titles for the click-bait effect at their websites. But within a public forum platform (here), reposting the click-bait title into the community post effectively misleads forum readers because this space is personable and honest, so we expect an honest post title here. News publishers know this and exploit that in Reddit, but hopefully not here. Every time I see OPs copy-posting and running off, I have to suspect industry marketing efforts in effect, perhaps especially when OP is a bot.

I really don’t want to see Lemmy become polluted with news marketing as though this platform is at all open to the same abuse as that socialist dictatorship platform we left to be here.

The title seems dramatic, but using the Outlook client to link a third-party account is supposed to connect to those emails with the respective credentials, right?

Why bridged to Thunderbird?

Yeah, but that 500MB storage . . . needs a game plan.

Do you really object to promotion of literacy?

You’re suggesting Reddit as a better place to promote grammatical correctness? Why? Is basic correct grammar too high a standard for an idealistic, tech-savvy collaborative forum platform such as Lemmy, especially given all the bright minds whom have deviated from the corruption of Reddit’s sold-out mismanagement to instead contribute to the ideals offered by Lemmy?

I really think this platform deserves more mindfulness than the mindlessness we all saw pollute and corrupt Reddit. Don’t ya think?

an really good offer.

Correction: a really good offer

… an language learning model …

Oops, you did it again — and immediately after provision of a thorough and simplified clarification. Where’s the mindful retention, especially in someone imaginably mindful enough to divert — through extensive reading — from mainstream social media into a deeply niche, text- and reading-based Lemmy alternative to Reddit? Furthermore, what in the world is England teaching in their English classes if not the correct uses of ‘a’ and ‘an’? This is concerning.
I hope this is an age issue. Please tell me you’re a pot-smoking tween and not any level of graduate.

… tips and tricks …

Hmm, a YouTube addict, I suspect; maybe not so much of a reader.

Nothin man. Don’t you worry bout it one bit. You just keep on keepin on.

Well, somewhere along the way there was a misleading influence there.

. . . I did get an private message . . .

Correction: . . . I did get a private message . . .

I see this grammatical error frequently enough to realize this is likely being wrongfully taught as proper English on a large scale.

Here’s the grammar rule with an:
Use an to introduce words that identify a single thing that is pronounced to sound like it begins with a vowel. Otherwise, use a to introduce a single thing that is pronounced to sound like it begins with a consonant.

My guess is the incorrect grammar is probably being taught in the same ESL models teaching people to inject questions into noninquisitive statements (ie. “They don’t know what is proper English grammar” — which can be better phrased as “They don’t know what proper English grammar is” but more correctly as “They don’t know proper English grammar.”)

Anyone who is educated in English enough to be able to standardize an ESL model is aware that those uses I exampled are grammatically incorrect, so it’s my guess there’s some deliberate oppression designed into those language learning models to distinguish foreign English learners as linguistically inferior instead of as potentially native.

Ah — that slider is a new experience for me, and it wasn’t clear that vertical bar isn’t a photo border. That thing should be marked as interactive. Kudos for the clarification.

I recognize a carnival-styled UI with a naked eye. When the UI feels like ADHD distractions, you know marketing tactics are the purpose of the toys. We know that’s expectable with free web services, but costly consumer products need to offer a fully-controllable experience to exclude statistic-mining spyware.

Samsung is so damned gimmicky.

Except when 2FA requires a TOTP in the form of out of season fruits in an incompatible combo with canned spinach.
