Things like that aren’t a feature of the terminal emulator, but of the shell. Try to find out which shell you’re using on Android, maybe try using that one on desktop too.

I follow both, but a lot more people/organizations than hashtags.

I found that on old forums I did get to know the people regularly posting on them quite well over time (and they got to know me). On reddit and lemmy not so much, or do you have any idea about anything I’ve posted before (because I don’t know anything about you).

The main thing I would like to know is why so many people nowadays want a microblog platform, whether it is X or Bluesky or Mastodon, and why community-based platforms like Lemmy are getting relatively little attention in comparison.

Is it just that these people weren’t seriously online before the rise of microblogs? They didn’t start out with phpBB-style forums, so don’t miss their existence and think that individuals having followers is the normal state of the Internet? I’m genuinely not super sure what’s going on.

Wait, what? Which parts of this are satire now? I read the Onion piece that Global Tetrahedron was purchasing InfoWars, but this is a Guardian story saying The Onion is purchasing it? I’m a bit confused.

Most countries consider this “private copying” which is legal. Not a lawyer, you should check your country’s laws.

Unethical? Copying is not theft.

I wrote (not only, but some) more intelligent things on the Internet when I was a teenager.

Yes, semiautomatic are what you should use most of the time really.

In the 2000s I thought that due to more and more people being on the internet, stories like this would be very common in the future, not just for the government, but private entities too.

In reality: Most things that happen at most workplaces are not interesting enough to leak, and most people do not want to risk their careers for something like this. So it’s still relatively rare.

the automatic setting might give you 1/30 of a second when photographing fast moving animals or 1/500 with aperture 2.8 when photographing landscapes, neither of which will give you good photos :/

Aperture, shutter speed and ISO aren’t very hard to understand and applying them correctly will give you a lot better photos.

You could try creating an account on kbin/mbin instead of lemmy, my understanding is that that gives you the “threadiverse” and the microblogging fediverse on one platform, though I have not tried it yet.

On Lemmy you can only follow communities, not individuals.

I always find it funny when I read a lemmy thread that’s being posted in by microbloggers who just start all replies with @ followed by usernames of people they’re replying to.

They’re a lot younger than me too… but I was on the Internet, including in some mostly-adult communities, at 16 too (not so much at 13). Many of my formative experiences took place there and so I see absolutely nothing wrong with what they’re doing.

no, I’m very certain I’ve never seen one, this article certainly doesn’t have one

I don’t have a “main social media app”. I use Lemmy and Mastodon on mobile; Reddit and Facebook only on desktop.

You’re living under a rock, aren’t you? I keep reading about it nearly everywhere, way more than I would like to.

It’s a microblogging platform, i.e. replacement for Twitter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky

you can sort !casualconversation@lemm.ee by “new comments”

Last decade it was “destroyed”

WordPress has an ActivityPub plugin. I suspect you already know about it.

Some months ago I read about something called “Ghost” which either already has or is planning to add ActivityPub integration.

I’m here, I don’t answer to anywhere near all questions I see though.
