@Boozilla Smoked trout is the only trout based food I know that doesn’t smell like satan’s unwashed genitals.

@OmegaMouse

@Funkymatt You want something that tells people that doing a U-Turn is a normal thing to do with a car?

@Moeaverage

https://kbin.social/d/lemdro.id also gives a 404.

Just checked if lemdro.id possibly defederated kbin.social, but that’s not the case. Could be that they have the same bug lemmy.ml had that blocks all requests from kbin instances.

And fedia.io

Karma aka. Reputation is already a thing. It’s not all that accurate because up-/downvotes from/in defederated instances aren’t counted, but the information is out there for anyone who wants to know. See my 1st level reply to OP.

I’m sorry to tell you that an equivalent of Karma existed from the very beginning (though rather than being Upvotes minus Downvotes, it was Boosts minus Downvotes until a few days ago due to a bug). It’s called Reputation and you can see it by viewing someone’s profile in kbin. At the time of writing this, your Reputation points seem to be at 443. Reputation isn’t being used for anything though, and while it can technically be tracked by anyone, lemmy hides that information so far.

[In fact, you can see who gave up- or downvotes to something and you can also see what someone up- or downvoted (or boosted, but that’s a given, since boosting is equivalent to retweeting). This information is out there for anyone to access who spins up their own instance due to how federation works, so the developer of kbin decided to make it public so people are at least aware of this fact.]

Booooo, it’s age restricted and I never managed to age-verify my youtube account.

You guys confused me because I couldn’t see any emojis in any of your names. Until I clicked on @SgtSilverLining 's name and then the link to view the profile in the original instance. Turns out kbin doesn’t have the concept of a display name, only usernames.

@Kolanaki

and even emojis (as you can see with mine).

Looks like either you have a capital letter in your username and what I see is your username, or you don’t have an emoji in your display name, or kbin strips emojis from usernames.

Edit: It appears kbin shows people’s usernames, not their display names. That said, you still seem to have a capital letter in your username.

Gabs schon vor Lases, also soll’s es auch nach Lases weiter geben.

@PlutoniumAcid Use F1 for keybindings of your own choosing. Unlike with NumLock, that actually works regardless of what kind of keyboard it is.

With Redhat going kinda closed-source, will its derivatives like Fedora remain viable?

Don’t remember how Canonical shit the bed, but I’m wary of using Ubuntu derivatives.

What would you recommend for a distro that keeps on top of security updates and is at least acceptable in terms of running games like AoE2 DE or The Outer Worlds?

Bits or bribes or sycophanty or a combination thereof.

Gratuliere! 😊

Are you telling us you’re suffering from Pica?

Maybe it had seen The Wing Or The Thigh (original language title L’aile ou la cuisse, starring Louis de Funès) and deduced that they’re artificial.

The posts I saw fell into these rough categories:

• Sharing articles that are interesting or important to know
• People asking questions about linguistics (a frequent one was people asking about what some kind of feature is called in the field, kind of “what do I have to search for to learn more about this?”)
• Linguistic studies that were featured in general media (as long as neither the study nor the media coverage is garbage)
• Stickied FAQ post and a regular general questions post
• People sharing their own work that they think others might find interesting
• Podcast episodes and YouTube videos about linguistics that are worth promoting

I think the only things related to linguistics that weren’t welcome were posts where people come up with folk etymologies, spreading disproven theories or claiming one language being superior than another.

Conlanging: You’d sometimes see questions about linguistics in general (usually typology) by a conlanger, but I don’t think I ever saw anything other than that. I would guess that links relating to conlangs/conlanging were deleted, with a suggestion to post them to /r/conlangs instead.

I was part of the Linguistics subreddit, but I don’t feel qualified to open a kbin magazine or lemmy community for it. While I did have linguistics as my major in university, I had to quit after getting my bachelor’s credits but before finishing my thesis (due to depression).

I edited loads of my old comments to suggest people join kbin, but it seems the mods of /r/linguistics hate that. They were all removed with no exceptions.

Why ID 85347 in particular?
