They've already lost their identity. The parties over, spez has turned it into corporate garbage no better than Instagram

In the lost media community there is a distinction between things that are known to be lost forever (baring some miracle) and things that may still exist but either no known copies have been found or the owner refuses to release a digital copy (usually due to copyright reasons). For example most of the early seasons of Doctor Who were lost due to the BBCs policy but over the years copies of the film and even some rudimentary at home recordings have been found, allowing for them to be archived and preserved

I had a job a few years ago where my account kept getting locked out (their IT security department was kinda paranoid and basically everything could get you locked out). I used this to crest a shortcut on my phone to call their automated help desk line and enter in my employee id / dob/ whatever else they needed to unlock my account, at one point it was happening several times a day. Left that job shortly after thankfully

It's been going on for nearly a year now, but the layoffs tend to happen in waves because the stock market and investors in general tend to be very reactionary. Also a lot of companies released their quarterly earnings recently

It entirely depends on the cat, and generally speaking, the earlier you teach a kitten that human contact is a good thing the more likely they will be receptive of it. Cats are most impressionable the first 10-12 weeks of their life, after that its really hard to convince them to change. We have two cats that were raised in a great foster home that we adopted at around 12 weeks and they will literally let you do anything; I think its like 50% genes and 50% how they were raised

Dear God, i hope that's not true. Quora answer quality is probably worse than Yahoo answers; at least those were just shit posts, 90% of Quora answers are ads by the creator of some project in my experience

You can set it in your preferences on web, idk if that syncs to the mobile app. Mine also turned into spanish on web the other day for some reason, which is my secondary language in chrome but my primary language is set to English. In Lemmy settings i just forced it to English

idk if your instance is any different but on lemmy.world I just got to settings on the top right corner where my user name is and set "Interface Language" to English

Yeah, given that Aljazera is state owned Qatari media, and Qatar isn't exactly known for its human rights, especially for women, gonna have to take this one with a pretty huge grain of salt

I think the hope was that it would have risen to the surface as it was allegedly designed to do in the case of an emergency, but yeah I'm sure the odds of that were slim
