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'm pretty sure they will have to do separate updates to support hat. It was the lemmy-ui project that was updated with this new feature.

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.

For a serious answer, you can upload an Avatar in your settings if you navigate there in your browser. You can also upload a banner, presumably for your profile, but I don't know, I haven't tried it.

On the web site, when on the list. There's an RSS icon to the right of the feed selection controls. Clicking that will give you an RSS feed of your current selection (i.e. Subscribed, Sort By Active)

Ah lol totally missed what you meant.

Oh, I wasn't the person you were originally responding to. Just someone that came by later and had an answer to what I thought the question was you were asking.

I tend to get bored of games fairly quickly. I'll hop from game to game to game, over and over again, never (rarely) beating a game before moving on to the next. Sometimes I come back to these games I've abandoned and start over, only to repeat the cycle. There's only one game that I keep going back to again and again. The Sims. I do wish there were other competing life sim games that offered a similar amount of content and mod support, but alas, there's nothing out there quite like it yet.

It's usually recommended to read the Arch news before doing an update because if there are any known issues they will be reported there. However, I've been using Arch now for a few years and I've never encountered any issues during updates (I know that others have not been so lucky. There was an update that caused grub to break for many that I recall, but I wasn't affected by it.)
