Appreciate the thorough explanations, thanks!

The last part is fucked up, yikes…

Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense for targeted ads for sure. Still a bit worried about hashtags being used for ads since I follow a lot of hashtags on mastodon and usually have a quite a nice “organic” feed compared to other social media.

Might be a stupid question, but can’t threads just post ads as “posts” via activityPub? On mastodon they would appear as toots?

Was just remembering how reddit introduced ads as basically promoted posts and recall facebook doing the same.

I sure fucking hope not.

Exactly my point, thank you for clarification!

Yeah no I think I would just butcher the language trying to speak it.

I for one vote for EU wide usage of Latin commands, EQUALITER AMBULA!

I might be wrong here but NATO countries already have to adapt language related practices to NATO practices, e.g. the NATO phonetic alphabet.

I believe so aswell, but there is lemmy.ml for example, which apparently is meant to stand for “marxism-leninism” in that specific instance (.ml is Mali’s country TLD).

They are shitting bulls, probably living a life of constant pain

(pretty much depends on your job a bit, just wanted to continue with the same comment style)

IIRC two letter domains are reserved for country specific domains, the non-country domains start with three letters.

Similar experiences. I was thinking “that’s it? Now i have to do this 5 times a week, recover on the weekend, and then again for the rest of my life?!”.

People kept telling me you get used to it. I felt hopeless after couple of years because it didn’t get better.

Now I realize that a full time job doesn’t need to mean that you are a husk working your life away, always completely drained.

I used to ask the same question as OP, then I discovered this trick (with crap load of luck, I had tried to find a job that I’d enjoy for a long time before I got one).

I’mma go with number two for a sure bet, could be number one too, but number two for sure

Some executive reading your comment right now:

Also want to thank Blaze, love the amount of posting and commenting you do!

Damn. I’m sorry to hear that dude, hope you are doing better now.

Does this occur even after a few nights of proper sleep?

If you generally sleep enough and don’t have other sleeping problems you could try to change the ringtone. Or if you are like me and turn off the alarm half a sleep and don’t remember it, put your alarms further away from your bed.

Agreed, but I must admit I haven’t dug deeper so I have no clue.

IIRC lemmy.ml is the showcase server for lemmy software as a whole, so the organizations and individual donors who fund lemmy development also fund lemmy.ml

They mention the bigger donors here

Might be pulling this out of my ass, but I recall that one of the platinum donors gets their money to fund open-source software from EU.
