Pretty sure the British never invaded South Sudan…

I suppose in a way you arguably are…

I don't like the interrobang. It looks too crowded, and the sharp angle created between the question mark and the exclamation mark looks out of place in among latin alphabet letters.

Remember the whole "Ivermectin, the dewormer, helps against Covid" thing in the US? Researchers did look at those claims and came to the completely unsurprising conclusion that, unless you have gut parasites, Ivermectin does not help with anything, including Covid. However, if you do have parasites, the Ivermectin can remove a comorbidity, which is obviously going to help with just about anything, including Covid. (Unless you have the wrong kind of parasite, and the sudden presence of rotting worm corpses throughout your body leads to septic shock…)

My takeaway from that is, modern day Americans probably have a lot more gut parasites than we used to think before Covid.

Did you know that "invidia" is one of the seven capital vices, also know as deadly sins?

Gandalf is easily older than anyone else there, and if he can pull it off...

There's that "I never vote because politicians do not care about the issues of people like me anyway" attitude again.

(Hint: They don't care because your kind won't vote anyway.)

I've been using a shiftphone for the last ~5 years. I wonder where they would land on the ranking. They should als do fairly well.

Didn't notch go full on alt-right some years ago, to the point where MS had to officially distance themselves from him?

In the driver's defense, his tank just took at least one rocket impact. I could imagine having a case of the nerves after that…

It should be 8 Hz, but according to the question text, that would mean answer "A", while according to the labels next to the answer options, it would be "B", because they're inconsistent.

The photon UI under photon.lemmy.world does not work for me in Firefox 122 under Linux, showing nothing but blank page when I open it. It works in Chromium and in Firefox on Android.

When I open the developer console, I get the following error message:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e.moderation is undefined

Is there any lemmy community for finding and discussing other communities, in the sense of "Hey, I am interested in this and that topic, which community should I join?"

 

I see kbin.social mentioned here and there where lemmy is discussed. How are those two related? Are they linked up, or are those completely separate communities?

It seems like what i2p is doing largely overlaps with what tor does. How do the two compare, and why would you use one over the other?

 

I see plenty of posts talking about a huge influx of new users to lemmy.ml lately. Can we get some numbers about that? How many new users per day are we talking? How does that translate to number of requests per second (or minute) on the frontend?

What kind of hardware is lemmy.ml running on? Is it just a single server? Can lemmy instances be run on a loadbalanced cluster?

I'm really interested to see how efficient and resilient the lemmy software really is, at the moment I am getting the impression that it is buckling under the load of, honestly, not even that many users...

 

In some cases when I post a comment to a topic on a different instance, the comment will seemingly just disappear into thin air. Posting and commenting to the Lemmy Support community seems to work mostly fine, even though it is on lemmy.ml while my account is on lemmy.world. Any comments I tried to make on feddit.de just plain disappeared, though, no trace of them anywhere, not in my profile, not in the discussion thread, not even on the actual feddit.de instance.

Any idea what's going wrong here?
