My most significant run-in with a genie was in Mario Land 3. After what I did to him, I’d hate clouds too.

It got a lot of press when it first showed up and it was a strong default suggestion for new users for well over a decade.
I used it for several years and I initially jumped ship to Xubuntu, so it was clearly good enough for me to want to use something similar at first. The distro-specific changes (snaps, etc.) are more likely to alienate experienced users, whereas new users are less likely to object to things like snaps.
I don’t use anything Ubuntu-based these days, but it has everything to do with my specific needs/preferences. Nothing directly to do with the decisions that get bad press among long-term users.
I met up with a group of friends prior to a concert. She was somebody that I didn’t know yet. That changed!
Realistically? For mainstream search? In anything like the top-level results that most people bother to read?
Nowadays, you need to pay Google more than the SEO companies do. Either that, or hope that people specifically search for lemmy posts as part of their search request.
Somebody isn’t getting their apple polished.
Adding on to this: people overestimate their own expertise.
At home I take notes on the computer. Timestamps, instant sync across devices, whatever editor I like to use, et cetera. If I get a random call and someone starts talking at me, I’ll settle for scribbling on a fast food receipt if it is close to hand. I use my phone sometimes, but I generally take notes when I’m on a phone call.
When I’m at an in-person meeting with a client, pen and paper is the best option because it conveys some degree of respect. People still seem to be put off by people pulling out a laptop and typing during an emotionally charged meeting. If I pull out my cellphone and start poking at it in a professional setting, people don’t think that I’m listening or taking notes. They think that I’m bored.
A few enemy tears are just fine in a gin martini, either directly or as an olive brine additive.
Since I can’t avoid thinking of Motörhead when I see the word Lemmy, I would be 100% supportive of “Kilmisters”.
So far, I am enjoying the experience. Full disclosure - I had an account on lemmy.ml a year or two ago that I deleted because I was not using the platform. I’m more engaged this time around. The only technical issues that I’ve noticed seem to be tied to the rapid growth in the user base and the administrators seem to be making adjustments as growth continues.
I haven’t had any difficulty subscribing to communities that interest me and there seems to be enough content being generated to keep me interested and engaged. Generating content has been easy so far and I am enjoying myself.
The instance system seems nice - I like my instance and there are some good local communities. Some of them seem to replicate communities on other instances, but I don’t mind having more than one community to check when I want to distract myself with a specific topic.
There’s nothing non-intentional or implicit about denying the franchise to noncitizens. For the vast majority of countries, that is the way citizenship is expressly designed to work as an in-group. Citizenship is generally meant to discriminate against outsiders.
