It seems to be highly dependant on culture, context and age. I feel like my generation (millennial) uses emoji the least, as we grew up with digital communication but without emoji. I basically use emoji in a similar way to you - sparingly and rarely more than 1 in a message. Younger and older generations both started using digital means of communication when emoji were already established though, and they tend to use them way more in my experience.

In regards to “wrong” interpretation of emoji, they can also have different established meanings for different cultures. 😪 for example is sometimes used to represent having a cold in the west, but in Asia it represents being sleepy (which is its intended meaning). Or 😉, which is considered suggestive/flirty in anglophone countries, but is used for making a lighthearted joke in Germany.

The community on Db0 seems quite active to me by Lemmy standards.

Ich muss zugeben Querdenker Wal-Proteste waren nicht auf meiner Bingokarte für dieses Jahr.

Our Left party absolutely intends to do that and is very public about that intention. But they’ve never been part of a federal government, because not enough people vote for them. So how are they to blame? If anything, blame the centrists and conservatives currently in power.

It could be fixable, only way to find out is opening it up. I’d first try reseating all the ribbon cables, as one of them might have come loose because of the drop. Otherwise, if you can identify any damaged parts, you can get replacements for most of them and replacing them is pretty doable. If you can’t find any physical damage, your best option is probably to send it in.

To me it seems like any kind of communication in multiplayer games has gotten less and less over the years. Used to be pretty common to just talk about random stuff with random people in games like CS, DayZ and even Overwatch years ago, but in recent years, I hardly remember any instances of people using voice chat at all, let alone using it to say anything positive. So if this is true and common for Arc Raiders, which I haven’t played, it seems to be a positive outlier. Also curious about other people’s experience.

Then they can just use Tor or a VPN to access sites on the clearnet though.

No way you haven’t read the other replies to my comment.

A nice surprise. I had pretty much written this off as completely abandoned.

The US is a hellhole with a billionaire class living above the law, sure, not arguing with that. I guess maybe I should have assumed US defaultism for this question.

But OP made a blanket statement about all laws, and didn’t specify a country either. If your username is any indication you’re a Marxist. How do you think a Marxist state would work without laws?

That has certainly been the case in some places, though by no means all of them. Enforcement is also a separate issue to the law itself.

But to provide some maybe better examples, do laws that enshrine workers’ rights to form a union only serve to benefit the rich? Laws that limit donations to political parties? I really don’t think you can make that argument for all laws.

I guess I haven’t yet. Maybe you can help me: How do laws against, for example, rape, only benefit the rich while oppressing the rest of us?

Guess we know where Putin is sending the money now that Orban’s gone.

She, and many others, have wanted to change this rule for years. Ending the veto has pretty broad support within the EU. But actively pushing for it was pointless until now, because Orban’s Hungary would have, y’know, vetoed it.

Mate, the point is that they’re not talking cartoon anthropomorphic animals, like the characters in Zootopia are. Was that really not obvious or are you just in the mood to argue and insult some people for no reason?

I meant to write sapient, not sentient. Fixed.

Carnivores in Zootopia eat fish and insects, which are considered non-sapient, as well as plant-based food.

This is a rare instance where I’d rather have the EU adopt the UK regulations than the other way round…

Yes. Never liked the feeling of sitting or sleeping in a room with the doors open. Also I generally have the heating at different levels in different rooms.

It will be worse. The worst Unity slop still had some actual creative work put into it at some level, at least by the creators of the assets they bought.
