The best search I found is by asking questions to real people in forums such as this one. It's way slower than getting an immediate answer for a question, but the signal to noise ratio is higher.

This is the reason why I think Google is prioritizing reddit so much in recent years, because reddit became one of the only places where you can get real people (well, relatively speaking more than most other parts of the Internet) answering all kind of questions.

Speak for yourself, I first got on Lemmy to promote a movie, and the next thing I know, I was using Arch (BTW) and moderating an Android community.

I'm still not quite sure how that happened. This place.

The 80/20 rule applies to toxic Internet behaviors as well, 20 percent (or less) of the user base is responsible for 80 percent of the toxicity.

It's always the same people being awful here, if you are taking notes, you can quickly identify the worst posters on this platform after a week. People always complain about how they are unfairly banned by reddit moderators, but you have to remember, sometimes the bans are really justified.

I think the ony real (and unpleasant) solution is to moderate very aggressively whenever there is bad behavior (although, I must add, permanent bans should be rare and reserved for extremely bad behaviors)

And nobody mentioned beans?

You can't have Lemmy without at least one reference to beans!

I thought people use those plastic blade disposal container that has a slot on top that you throw away once it gets full nowadays.

It's not built into the wall, but the base principle still hasn't changed even after all these times.

From acting.

Producing is still work.

Word of mouth. Friends. Internet.

Speaking of which, have you seen Barbie yet? I heard it's pretty good.

For me, it's very much cyclical: when there is a project going, there are so many people counting on you that pretty much every minute counts, and the cost of mistakes is always high. It's during these times that time management skill is critical and you need people on the team who's job is to manage everybody's time and make sure things gets done, but even with that, the long hours are unavoidable. I don't think it's something to brag about, it's the nature of the job.

But when there is no project going, it feels like there is really not much to do all day, sometimes even the task of finding things to do is a struggle, so you do whatever you want until the next project starts.

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, agree wholeheartedly with the premise of this article, which is why I will be using this opportunity to buy the collector's edition of the Golden Globe winning movie, Barbie, on Blu-Ray, so that I can watch it whenever I want to.

In fact, I will be buying multiple copies, one for every room in my house, because you just never know.

I genuinely can't tell if the comic was added by somebody else to mock Musk's tweet, or if Musk is such a narcissistic prick with zero self awareness that he ""ironically" added this comic as part of his fellow-kids memelord act.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Koy continued: “The key moment in Barbie is when she goes from perfect beauty to bad breath, cellulite, and flat feet — or what casting directors call ‘character actor'

That's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

(Come on, I literally started doing the 'esteemed character actress' bit on Lemmy months ago, get some new material.)

Well, that's a pretty reductive way of looking at the message.

I'll give you a hint, why do you think it is that Barbie ultimately refused to participate in the hypercommodified world after the status quo has been restored with even slight improvements being made?
