Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•51-year-old man here; would I be a creep if I went out on a date with a 30-year-old woman?111·23 days agoI’m around your age and whilst I have friends who are around your blind dates age, I would never consider a romantic relationship with someone that age. Its not the number of years so much as the generational thing. I have kids older than that and that’s where it goes into weird territory.
Everyone’s different and you do you etc but I’d ask your daughter at the very least to inform the other half of this date how old her date is going to be.
Gonna be that guy and mention an alternative - Schildi Chat available for web, desktop and Android. Its based on the Element apps but with some extras. For example if you use the ‘Next’ variant of the Android app, Spaces work as intended.
Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there any lemmy communities that allow criticism of transgenderism?English106·24 days agoYou’re a bigot who is on a platform that doesn’t tolerate bigotry. Off you fuck.
“I’m from India and the word “commie” in my country is referred as a far left,”
Communism is its own thing. Whilst its not exactly inaccurate to describe it as far left, there are also lots of far left people who are not Communists.
“Why? Do they ban you if you fight like a redditor in the comments?”
That depends on the Community (subreddit) you’re in and the instance you’re using. They might, they might not. But the reason I said it is because people joining Lemmy solely in order to get into fights with people is not what Lemmy needs.
Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something that's free that everyone should know about?English3·2 months agoTenacity is a decent (not perfect) Audacity replacement.
Lemmy is a piece of software. Its two main developers are communists. The software runs on many different servers (instances) that are mostly not communist and the two developers do not enforce any political ideology on the use or users of Lemmy (and couldn’t even if they wanted to, which they clearly don’t). There are two or three instances that are communist.
That said, if you’re from the USA I’d hazard a guess that the word ‘commie’ to you is probably a person slightly to the left of Bill Clinton. At the moment, the entirety of Lemmy does lean slightly left and is generally progressive which is a refreshing change to the constant brain numbing right wing shitholes most mainstream social media sites are.
I’d urge you to not go looking for a fight. Just ignore, block and move on. This isn’t reddit.
Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothingEnglish12·2 months agoI think, as well as the issues you mention, another issue might possibly be duplication. Historically, search engines penalise duplicated content, even across different domains and federation kind of bakes that in.
Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dolores Umbridge was a JK Rowling Self Insert all this time.English302·2 months agoShe is a successful author. She’s never been a great author. Great authors know how to write with originality and imagination. JKR merely took a handful of fantasy and British empire tropes, put them in a blender with ideas ‘inspired’ by vastly better writers and with the help of a PR team, created a marketable franchise.
Along the way, she became consumed by an utterly irrational hatred which is now creating a horrific world for the people she targeted with her marketing money.
Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Who would win in a fight, a Gorilla or a Bear of equal weight?English13·2 months agoEqually strong probably but I’d assume a bear is faster and more aggressive. Also has a set of steak knives on each paw.
You’ve got to let him find his own way. Please don’t take this as overly-critical but you do come off as sounding more like his parent than his partner. I totally get wanting to make things as easy as possible for him but you can still do that if you’re a year ahead of him. And he gets the opportunity to find his feet by himself - I’m sure he’d ask you if he needed help and you giving him space also tells him that you believe in him.

Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can someone explain to me how to use the Feidverse?English1·3 months agoI’m not 100% sure what Lemmy Explorer is…but assuming its a tool to help you find communities?
If thats so, just make a note of the community address, switch back to your logged in account and search for that community whilst logged in to your piefed.social account
I know this all feels disorientating and needlessly confusing but its worth it. Stick with it and keep asking for help when needed.
Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can someone explain to me how to use the Feidverse?English16·3 months agoImagine if instead of just reddit.com there was also reddit.org and reddit.co.uk and reddit.nl and reddit.social and (etc etc) all on a different server from each other and each with its own set of users and subreddits. But each user and each subreddit could be viewed and joined by any user from any server - that’s Lemmy.
So you’re on the
piefed.social
server (but on the fediverse servers are called ‘instances’) and I’m on thelemmy.blahaj.zone
instance but we can both see, subscribe to and post to a community (the Lemmy name for subreddits) on an instance neither of us are members of - theasklemmy
community on thelemmy.world
instance.Take a look at your screen (or app if you’re on mobile) and you’ll see ‘Local’, ‘Subscribed’ and ‘All’. If you select ‘Local’ you will see a list of posts from Communities that are on your home instance (which is
piefed.social
in your case). If you selected ‘Subscribed’ you’d see posts from all the Communities you chose to join/subscribe to across all instances. If you choose ‘All’ you’ll see posts from the entirety of Lemmy whether you subscribed to them or not. Whichever view you choose can be sorted by things like ‘new’, ‘active’, ‘hot’ etc.To find Communities you’re interested in joining, use the Search function, type in a keyword and select ‘Communities’.
Cut, otherwise you do a line and you wake up in A&E.
Leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email ServiceEnglish253·3 months agoThunderbird Pro will apparently be:
This email thing plus Thunderbird Send (which is basically https://send.vis.ee/), Thunderbird Appointment - a scheduling tool and Thunderbird Assist, which is:
“…at least for now, being cautiously labeled as “an experiment” that will allow users to take advantage of AI features within their email. However, the goal is to be lightweight enough that the language models can be run locally on a user’s PC in the interest of privacy. This service is being developed in partnership with Flower AI, which leverages Nvidia’s confidential compute to provide private remote processing in the event a user’s PC isn’t powerful enough. Sipes emphasizes that any remote processing features attached to Thunderbird Assist will always be optional, in the interest of ensuring complete user privacy.”
So AI shit that nobody asked for or wants.

Probably not federated across yet. BTW - you’re better using the right structure for linking to communities in post:
