Linux machines don’t crash unexpectedly, because if they do, it’s your fault for configuring it wrong and you should have expected it.

Sir! Excuse me, sir!

I’d say option 3. Personally, I don’t care if random websites get my IP among a list of hundreds of others, and if someone wants to keep their IP hidden from strangers, they should be using a VPN before browsing the net anyways. It’d also be nice not to have to open another instance when I come to a post with a broken image that I want to see, but that’s not hugely important to me.

If it were an instance specifically for privacy enthusiasts, that’d be a different story, but this is a general-purpose instance, and option 3 seems to be what’s best for both general users and the server itself.

The long-awaited sequel to “how to spot a polymorphed dragon.”

As an elf, I wouldn’t feel qualified to answer that.

Actually I was just being passive aggressive at you for the bit. But it’s totally understandable that you didn’t notice.

I like how you needed to demonstrate that you know what passive aggression is.

Fast food social media. Nice term there.

Anyways, I don’t see why this has to be a matter of high privilege vs. low privilege. There’s definitely a correlation, but depressed rich people and happy poor people aren’t uncommon. Also, not all questions of positivity vs. negativity are in contexts that relate to privilege. It could be about the direction of a media series, for example, which is where I’ve heard it misused.

Actually I would call that aggressive passive, because it’s very upfront and aggressive, but in a not actually very aggressive way.

Not tone deaf, just… doesn’t really make sense in context.

Every time I see the phrase “toxic positivity” my first instinct to contest it, because my first experiences with the phrase were a misapplication (that being positive is somehow toxic,) but so far on Lemmy, I’ve only seen it used in ways that make sense (the toxic expectation that others will be exclusively positive.)

Dwarves really get the short end of the stick. They’re not “greedy” for digging too deep, it’s literally what they were made to do. Their whole economy depends on mining. What do you want them to do, grow crops? With what farmland? The elves and halflings took it all. And elves never awaken ancient evils of the forest by growing trees too tall, and halflings never face the consequences of their greed in eating too much. Dwarves spend all day working so they can survive, and the stories call them evil. Elves spend all day lazing around in their vacation homes, and if you complain, somehow you’re the bad guy.

Exactly as ordered. Good job, private.

Came here to say this.

My expectation was that one might rotate an equine on an axis other than yaw.

I’ve been blocking political communities, so I don’t get so much of this. I would recommend you also block communities that annoy you. We’re in the same boat of browsing by top X hours.

Solarpunk doesn’t really bug me though because it’s (supposed to be) more about the good that could be rather than complaining about what is. (Don’t get me wrong, complaints can be valid, but that’s not what I come to Lemmy for.)

Yup, the weird cheeses.

But yeah, it is delicious.

Way to ruin that guy’s Plague Inc run, man.

Yeah, I know. But “what does greek mythology say about using windows” would have been less funny.
