Futurama. Without a doubt.

YDIFRC (You do, in fact, remember/recall correctly.)

Don't worry, I already know I'm wrong. The graph on this post clearly shows that I'm wrong and in the minority. But that doesn't really change how I interpret it. I almost used Pretty Bad as another example that I think many would have agreed with, but didn't end up doing that.

See, I don't agree with this analysis. It works fine for your pretty straight example, but that's because Straight is already as straight as it can be. Something can't be extra straight. But if I were to say something is pretty cheap, I would actually mean that it's cheaper than I would mean if I just said it was cheap. Generally when I use pretty to qualify something, it's in relation to my preconceived notion about something, and that's typically made obvious by the tone of my voice as I say it.

You know, I went into this movie with low expectations, but it's actually pretty good.

but if I had just used good in that statement, it would be indicating nearly the same thing, but with a little less emphasis.

I've always considered pretty good to be a positive modifier on good, making it a little better than good. Not much, but better nonetheless. I've never really understood why other people consider it to be worse than good.

It's different for different RSS feeds. I haven't tried the feeds on Lemmy, but I would assume that they contain a link to the post, plus the content of the text for that post if there is any. So you could read the post and decide if you want to click through to interact.

I just had a quick look at what's included in the Lemmy RSS feed. Each item in the feed has a Title, Link and Description. The description appears to give a summary of the post, the number of comments and upvotes it's received, and links to the content.

The core concept for RSS to understand though is that an RSS reader is a link aggregator where the links come from different feeds you subscribe to from all over the net. If you see an RSS icon, you can copy the link and past it into your reader to add a new subscription and be notified when there are updates without having to visit the site in your browser unless you see something that interests you and you want to click through to read and interact with.

Rose, because she clearly wants to be painted like one of your french girls.

RSS isn't specific to Lemmy. It's a standard that has existed for a long time. It stands for Really Simple Syndication (or also apparently RDF Site Summary). It's a way for websites, blogs, link aggregators, news sites, anything really that has content that updates, to provide a simple, platform agnostic method for users to subscribe to that changing content.

You would use an RSS reader, or maybe some software that isn't specifically an RSS reader but supports RSS subscriptions (Outlook is an example of an email client that you can add RSS subscriptions to), then your RSS reader takes care of fetching updates, and you have a perpetually updating feed of your subscribed RSS content in one spot. An RSS feed item usually has a link, some text, and sometimes other content. So you can read a summary, follow the link to read the whole thing, etc.

For Lemmy, you can subscribe via RSS to your Subscription, Local or All feed, with whichever sort you want. But you can also subscribe to specific users' comments to be notified whenever they make another comment.

They sure are racing to the bottom as quick as they can huh?

I don't think posts on reddit ever actually show less than 0 points no matter how many downvotes they get. Comments do, but posts always bottom out at 0 as far as I know.

Arch.

One day several years ago I had to replace some hardware and the copy of Windows that I had installed decided that I was no longer authorized. I got fed up and left Windows behind for good. For a few years I had Manjaro installed, but eventually I needed a change and wanted to start fresh so opted just to go straight to Arch.
