I've used reddit.com before but I never made many posts or comments and I haven't used it in years. I'm pretty sure there was a period where I visited it regularly though.

I don't think I've ever posted anything with facebook.com or twitter.com either. I never browsed them for fun, and if I want to coordinate with someone in my family I just contact them directly. I do use youtube.com a lot though.

I tried using pleroma but I haven't used that in a while either. I prefer lemmy much more (probably because posts being different from comments provides more structure).

Programs that do multiple things are not simple, so successfully using or understanding what they do is less likely to be possible for you. I expect that wanting to avoid interacting with many programs will lead a person to use programs that are nonfree more often than they otherwise would, so it would be more likely that a program controls the users.

To "substitute", the editing command is s/RE/replacement/ which has a s character before any <slash> (/) character: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/sed.html#tag_20_109_13_03

It doesn't matter if anything is behind you or not: any other road users would also be obligated to give up their right of way (by stopping) if you chose to stop, if doing so would help prevent collisions.

I care about many things related to encrypted real-time communication, including what security engineers recommend (since their judgements probably incorporate things I probably don't even know about or understand), so I don't think XMPP is the best option for me.

It's probably best if a driver yields to a flying saucer.

Give up your right-of-way when it will help prevent collisions.

When entering traffic, you must proceed with caution and yield to the traffic already occupying the lanes.

I didn't know there was a way to get a subscription that lasts 2 years! I see I can access that by clicking "Edit billing cycle" at https://account.proton.me/u/0/mail/dashboard

I'll definitely check that out when there aren't many remaining days for my current subscription.

I got a subscription last year and I don't have a memory of seeing an advertisement at https://mail.proton.me/u/0/inbox after that, and I didn't see one just now when I checked.

If you want to use an email service without seeing advertisements, maybe you should pay for a subscription starting from https://proton.me/pricing or https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/ or maybe instead you should consider something like https://www.lifewire.com/best-free-email-accounts-1356641

The discussion is probably about https://lemmy.world/u/FlyingSquid

I see "50.7K Comments" and "Joined 1 year ago" at https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] and 50.7*1000/(8760 hours) = 5.78767 posts per hour

I'd be surprised if someone born around or after 1995 would actually have to know this

Only 3.7 percent of CarMax sales nationwide are for manual cars
