Lots of my long-term friendships started with open-source projects. If that's your kind of thing, it's worth looking into. Either way it usually all boils down to a common hobby.

It depends. What's your estimated net worth?

Given how maimed the modern laptops are, I'm willing to consider "modern" a slur for laptops. Give me back my Ethernet, video outs and all the USB!

It's probably very much failing according to the corporate metrics of infinite growth. Good!

Hopefully they meant that anyone not mentally ill due to the modern world being what it is, is mentally ill be default. Or something similar.

In most countries you can, yes.

FOUL TARNISHED!

Wouldn't that be the same thing with no other percentages in sight because we're subtracting from 100%?

They have full legal rights to ban you for farting when the minute hand and hour hand aligned. This changes nothing in terms of what they "can" do. It's rather their public announcement about what they "will" do. If they really wanted to ban you for silly reasons, they don't even need these silly reasons, they can just ban you and are fully within their legal rights to do so.

This but non-ironically. Not every movie needs a damn romance!

From the Lemmy.world terms of service:

No one under 18 years of age or under the regulated minimum age defined by your local law (whichever is higher), is allowed to use or access the website.

If someone lies to access the website, it's on them.

I don't think so. It's probably what keeps it small and more personal. There is also the notion of responsibility: if a person I invite causes trouble, it's potentially on me. Maybe not on the first infraction, but if one invites 20 spammers/cryptobros/venturecapitalists, it's reasonable to block the inviter too.

I'm not arguing one way or another (that's not my decision anyway), but I can understand why they do this.
