My library offers art! Like, original art pieces (paintings and sculptures) by local artists which you can borrow for up to three months.

Sudan, definitely. (And I’ve visited well over 50 countries.)

2 points. I did technically “use” my dad’s old typewriter once or twice, but only to check it out/play with it, not to actually write something. Have never paid by cheque. Have done all the others.

Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech

Friendly reminder of when spez, many years ago, literally just changed a user’s comment, and then went on to not be immediately fired over this insane breach of everything to do with customer relations.

Must be this one, but the downvotes were part of the game in that thread so I guess it doesn’t really count. Other than that I’ve never gotten more than like 3 downvotes on a post.

Sounds nice enough, but not really like an outsider position among the Founding Fathers. OP seemed to be saying that Paine differed substantially from the others in some way, which I would be interested to learn about (not American either, I only have cursory knowledge of the Founding Fathers).

Why, what did he say?

Sounds like you’re shadowbanned.

Lichess.org is the best website to play and study chess on, hands down, and it’s entirely Libre/FOSS, with zero ads or trackers (e. g. read here: https://lichess.org/about).

Ok granted, that may be true. I wouldn’t be able to tell as I left in June '23 and never looked back. But from what I read about the protests back then, I seem to remember that only few subs had to have their mod team replaced by Reddit. I think if more mod teams of big subs had been willing to call it quits as a team, the disruption could have been bigger.

In the end though, I don’t know if any form of protest can be effective in this kind of situation as Reddit holds all the cards, and if they are dead set on enshittifying, nothing will stop them. What mods and users should do is just walk out.

Effective how? Reddit went through with everything they had planned. It could have been an effective form of protesting if more mods had actually been willing to leave the site or at least their modding job for good.

• The Village

• O Brother Where Art Thou

• Amélie

• Pride and Prejudice

• Shutter Island

to name a few.

Was my last movie too. I really enjoyed it, and even though some would say that it’s slow/not much happens, it left a stronger impression on me than any other film I recently watched.

That was the second-to-last I watched. :)

Welcome to the Fediverse! I’ve been here since the 3rd party app shutdown and haven’t used Reddit ever since. Niche communities are still lacking here, but it gets better as more people join. Also Lemmy servers and apps have gotten more stable over the past year. So I hope you’ll enjoy it here!

You’re gonna have to explain that one.

I can crack the knuckles of my big toes at will (only moving my toes, no hands involved).
