  • America’s Smoking Habit Just Hit a Wild Milestone That Once Seemed Impossible

    Jump

  • Now that i think about it, I don't know a single person who smokes. Not one. Including all the old people i know. I know a couple of people who smoke like less than a pack per year, which is fine. It so hard to believe i don't know even a single smoker. Mind blowing.

  • We weren't all saying copyright altogether was unfair. In fact i think most of us have always said copyright law should exist, just that it shouldn't be like 'lifetime of the creator plus another 75 years after their death'. Copyright should be closer to how it was when the law was first started, which is something like 20 years.

    (And personally imo there should also be some nuanced exceptions too.)

  • This completely. Speaking as a person who's more tech skilled than 99% of non-programmers, i can tell you that installing apps is the main tech hurdle for Linux getting mainstream adoption.

    There are non-tech hurdles too, but of the actual technology being easy to use then app installation is really the only aspect left that regular people can't do without a huge dive of tech learning that's beyond what most people can do.

    • Installing on mac: click the Mac download button and follow the prompts.
    • Installing on Windows: click the Windows download button and follow the prompts.
    • Installing on Linux: there's no Linux download button, there's a couple of buttons that say words you've never heard of before. They look kinda like buttons to download an app. You click one and try to open it, but it just shows an error, etc etc etc

  • Well sure, a moderator can write whatever they want in the sidebar, that doesn't mean it makes any sense. If you like you can create a c/catpics and then put a rule in the sidebar saying we allow all content except for pictures of cats. Just because you CAN do that doesn't mean it makes sense to

  • It's not pedantry, it's a massive difference in moderation direction from what you said.

    I only view my main feed so i don't pay attention to what post is in what community, but i believe you that a new moderation direction may be needed. But it also sounds like you're talking about trying to steer it into an extremely narrow alley which isn't valid to the title of the community. c/photos is for only photographs, but c/pics means it's for way more than just photos.

    You have the ability to restrict it to just photos of feet if you wanted to, but imo that also wouldn't be valid.

    I'm glad you're moderating out violent posts though

  • Picture doesn't mean photograph. The word picture predates the invention of the camera. That's why the word photograph was created in the first place, to differentiate it from other types of pictures. A photo is what comes from a camera, a picture basically means any kind of image. An image of JUST text probably doesn't qualify as a picture, but pretty much every other image does.

    If a person wants to just see photographs then I'm sure there are plenty of c/photos communities for that.

    But with that said, this community isn't c/memes or c/socialposts either, so a nuanced bit of a moderation hand could certainly be warranted.

    And with that also said, moderators can do whatever they want with their own communities. So if you wanted to limit it to like just text posts instead of any pics then that would be up to you to decide too
