Why is it so good?

A fair proportion of the suffering in the world can be laid at the feet of binary thinking.

(Resolved) What was the name of a project to give web users control over who can access their personal information?

It was started by one of the grandfathers of computing/the web/the internet, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was called and my DuckDuckGo-Foo is failing me today.

  • Hi OP. AskLemmy is a community for thought-provoking questions. There are other communities for questions asking for support.

    You could reword your question to make it comply with the rules. e.g. "Why does society so strongly link happiness with employment and relationships?"

  • Lemmyns of Lemmy who have received CPR, what was experience like for you? What do you remember?

    I had to help give CPR to someone recently, and their eyes were partly open. Got me wondering whether they were partly conscious while I was doing compressions.

    Post removal on [email protected]

    I thought I'd give a quick update on the efforts to combat the spam wave.

    Clearly someone wants to make Lemmy a less appealing place to be. It's a deliberate attempt to spoil the good thing that we have going here. l'll leave it up to you to contemplate the motives and timing of this attack on the fediverse.

    So what are the Mods doing, and what can you do to help?

    The most obvious one is that we are deleting the spam as soon as it is seen. We are checking more often, but as volunteers we can't be on Lemmy 24/7. We also have some automated checking going on. This is working fairly well, but occasionally some legitimate posts are being removed. These get restored eventually, but sometimes it can take a while for this to be actioned. If this happens to you, please be patient.

    As users, we can help out by reporting spam posts and by posting quality content. Contributing to our community is the best way to make sure that it remains a safe, interesting and thought-provoking place.
