Is that even possible? How do you know who downvotes you?

I think it's the same as any other platform. Right now the content in small communities is limited, but over time once there is a sizable amount of content that newcomers can get referred from or go through, Lemmy as a whole will get more traction. Since the Reddit exodus happened I definitely feel like Lemmy has grown a lot and I'm here for the long run.

I really recommend nativewind to solve pretty much every gripe I have with styling react native, if you still want to give it a chance. Expo for instant cross platform updates by just publishing updated JavaScript (no more publishing updatdes in app store and play store!) Also, yup and Formik for form validation and react query for API calls. With these minimal libraries react native becomes a beast.

I swear more than once I put a thing resting on the door so I would have to take it when leaving but I somehow moved it and left without...

Just remove the key from their keyboard at this point or I think there is a way for windows to simply ignore it and keep it on all the time

It's very easy to compare this to The Prohibition but the reality is alcohol is much more popular than tobacco. For someone who doesn't drink, understanding the appeal of drinking in a social setting is way easier. With this law I don't think there is a need for a black market of tobacco like there was with alcohol as it will still be available to purchase, just more controlled. The effect will be a reduction in exposure in younger generations that simply won't find the need to start smoking. This works and in my province of Quebec since laws have been getting stricter the only people that still smoke are poor or raised by heavy smoker parents.

It's ridiculous that they would rather throw out all this product instead of just buying the domain back and serve a simple website. Goes to show how little the brand controls about their business.

TBF, I don't think the purpose of this watermark is to prevent bad people for passing AI as real. It would be a welcome side-effect but that's not why google wants this. Ultimately this is supposed to prevent AI training data from being contaminated with other AI generated content. You could imagine if the data set for training contains a million images generated with previous models having mangled fingers and crooked eyes, it would be hard to train a good AI out of that. Garbage in, garbage out.

Not piracy but I appreciate the meme. It's like someone handing you a book with a sticker on it that says "don't read!". You rip the sticker off and read it anyway. If you didn't want me to read it, then why did you hand me the book!

As a user of a small TKL keyboard, I can say from my own experience having a small keyboard makes it easy and less strenuous to switch between the mouse and keyboard since they are so close together. I also find I don't really miss the extra keys, I can do my job just fine if not better without them, because of the added benefit of moving fast.
