Old, large, cranky. Gotta go to the bathroom.
Also, that picture isn’t me.

Hadn’t thought of that, and it makes sense. Thanks.
Just the headline is reason enough not to click.
Israel is fighting for its life.
What hogwash. As if Hamas presents an actual threat to Israel’s existence?
I can’t even get past the user interface at Discord. Rarely have I felt so uninvited to participate, even as the site aggressively invites me to participate.
When it works?
Same place on desktop. It’s kinda easy to miss, though, so thanks for the nudge.
Excellent questions, solid answers, both are appreciated, and I leave smarter than when I arrived. Thanks.
I’m still unable to upload images, and images uploaded before the issue yield only error messages.
Don’t kink-shame.
Depends on the instance. Here on Lemmy.World, it’s allowed and encouraged, but on some instances they don’t want the traffic and storage.
“Give them a shot first” is easy to say, but it’s hours or days of moderators and admins’ lives.
Your desire to “connect with pretty much everyone unless they were particularly problematic” is admirable,. Just remember, please, that the wider the gates are opened, the more idiots wander in and the more work for mods and admins.
After dealing with the first thousand or so idiots, you can smell 'em coming. I’m with the admins on this.
This is helpful, for the largest instances:
I dislike almost every Microsoft product, and always prefer the alternatives, but que sera sera. :) I don’t doubt that it works.
We’re required to use Microsoft Teams at my office, and oy, what an endless annoyance. If you’re in an MS environment all day, can you tell me how to make Teams understand that I’ve read something? All day every day, any time there’s a message in Teams, I spend five seconds reading it, then ten seconds trying to get Teams to stop marking it “unread.”
Agreed about Firefox, except I love it so much I haven’t given up on it. I just can’t. Been using Firefox since 1957. When a site doesn’t work, I jump to Chrome and it’s almost invariably OK. Only a slight hassle, plus that I hate Chrome too.
Maybe some people can read a book and listen to music at the same time, but I’m not smart enough. The music bleeds into the book, and it becomes Treasure of the Sierra Madre with Pink Floyd, which is completely different from Treasure of the Sierra Madre, if you catch what I drop.
Threads is not involved at all with the Fediverse, but Facebook/Instagram/Threads top schmuck Zuck says he wants Threads intertwined.
Let’s hope he’ll be shown the door and booted. His only goal would be to monetize us.
Ah, you’re probably right. I mostly hate Edge because I never chose it, downloaded it, or installed it, and of course it can’t be deleted. It triggers all my “intruder alerts”.
I have used it some at work, and hate it, but that’s mostly because work wouldn’t let me install adblockers.
They make money off the posts. If they suck in federated posts, they can monetize them.
Trump cannot possibly be sentenced to prison. He can and does deserve it, but it’s utterly impossible. Might as well wonder how high could pigs fly if pigs could fly.
Firefox, or Mozilla, continues to be the only browser (at least among the biggies) that’s for the users, not the trackers and marketers.
