Yeah, when reading, the brain relies heavily on written context. Kind of like how we can still read those example passages where they jumble a bunch of letters in the middle of the words on purpose.

I’m sure they could do something very similar in Chinese / Japanese and mess up the internal components of many characters while keeping the overall text mostly readable.

I love my Nothing Phone 2. Check them out.

Lol just did that and ran into an unexpected Spez mugshot under “meet the investors”

Yes it’s gross, but the downvotes are probably because it’s not a news article.

Fedia’s been closed to new sign-ups for a minute, but to anybody considering Mbin, have a look at this: https://joinmbin.org/servers/

Either way, a user’s feed will be as much about what things they choose to subscribe to and block, as what things their home instance does. For the most part instances share communities / posts / votes with each other which is the whole “federation” part.

It might be jarring to somebody who is used to just browsing “all.” I’d tell new users it might be a little bit of work to get comfy. That might well involve blocking a handful of toxic users. On the plus side, you don’t get ads and trackers up the ass and it’s small enough yet that you won’t feel like most comments get drowned out by noise.

See that coming? Hahaha get it? Funny!

I mean, I wasn’t gonna say anything but I guess it’s out there now

Just in case for those skimming the headline, note the quotes used in it. The author does not claim to know whether or not the company is actually involved in filing these requests, though as he points out, it is plausible.

Someone purporting to be United Healthcare is filing DMCA requests

If it is really the health insurer filing these notices, it wildly oversteps any legal rights the company might have, but if there’s any company willing to preemptively breach the law and dare the other side to spend their limited resources trying to protect their rights it would be a health insurer.

Yeah that’s the Mbin UI in general as opposed to Lemmy’s. Mbin is definitely taking its own approach UI-wise.
