I was curious, and Im just that kind of pedant, so I checked: The timing for this doesnt seem to work. Einstein published General Relativity in 1915. As far as I can tell, the first pro basketball league didnt happen until 1935.

Technology@lemmy.world•A Tech Rule That Will ‘Future-Proof’ Your KidsEnglish
2·8 months agoBecause some day they will be an adult who needs to know how to do things like buy groceries and pump gas. Hell, a 16 year old can have a car and a job, but not be allowed to pay for anything?
edit: that said , I’ll be using AI generated faces for everything.
I recently heard Michele Obama talking about wanting more slow boring days. For some reason it felt good to hear despite me ostensibly having very little in common with her.
after using Thunder for a bit, this blocking clearly does not extend to users.
The people suggesting it know it doesnt do what you want. They are being disingenuous.
That’s a pretty funny thing to say when talking about a platform explicitly designed to fill the same niche as reddit.
The call is coming from inside the house!
It’s okay, if the technology doesn’t run them off, the inhabitants will.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Do you pre-order digital games? If so, why?English
5·1 year agoNever. I only rarely buy a game within a year of release. Too fucking many good cheap or free games to justify paying msrp before it even gets reviews.

General Discussion@lemmy.world•I guess Lemmy has finally made it! It's popular enough to attract catfishers.English
1·1 year agoAhh yeah, I can. So far I prefer the ux of apps (thunder,raccoon,eternity) to lemmy on mobile though. And I was already logged in on desktop so that was faster.

1·1 year agoNeither of the apps I use lets me do anything beyond read the message and mark it as read. Is there a profile setting to disable that shit? I have to log into my fucking desktop just to delete the stupid phishing message.
