Yeah, fair enough. I use laptop keyboards so much that I need to get used to a full-sized keyboard, whenever I use one. 🙃
Unfortunately, laptop keyboards are a mess of different layouts, so it’s not either like I can sit down at someone else’s laptop and immediately know where everything is…
One decent reason is that it brings the mouse closer, so you can move your hand over more quickly and are more likely to find the right keys when moving the other way.
What is this article talking about? That’s a UX change. It has nothing to do with privacy or Mozilla’s commitment to privacy.
Yeah, and them being trigger-happy with the ban hammer is why Lemmy exists at all today. All Reddit alternatives back then were Nazi hotpots, because pretty much only folks who got banned from Reddit joined the alternatives (and back then, Reddit moderation primarily concerned itself with Nazis).
They would show up on dev.lemmy.ml, too, and “just ask questions”, like if an immigrant did a certain crime, would you want them deported?
These questions served no point other than to drive the conversation tone to the right.
And yeah, I was glad that the admins were always vigilant about that and immediately banned anyone asking such ‘questions’, even if it may have thrown legitimately curious folks under the bus, because it allowed proper conversations to exist.
Of course, I have survivorship bias. I don’t concern myself with China or Russia nearly enough to have specific opinions about them.
But when someone is not being intentionally intolerant, I am of the opinion that talking to them is worth it and the only way to help center opinions which one might perceive as extreme.
But well, I also don’t concern myself with my admins nearly enough to have specific opinions about their opinions either. I don’t have to agree with everything they think, just because I’m on their instance, so I don’t care nearly as much as some other folks here.
