Things like that aren’t a feature of the terminal emulator, but of the shell. Try to find out which shell you’re using on Android, maybe try using that one on desktop too.

Most countries consider this “private copying” which is legal. Not a lawyer, you should check your country’s laws.

Unethical? Copying is not theft.

I wrote (not only, but some) more intelligent things on the Internet when I was a teenager.

You could try creating an account on kbin/mbin instead of lemmy, my understanding is that that gives you the “threadiverse” and the microblogging fediverse on one platform, though I have not tried it yet.

On Lemmy you can only follow communities, not individuals.

They’re a lot younger than me too… but I was on the Internet, including in some mostly-adult communities, at 16 too (not so much at 13). Many of my formative experiences took place there and so I see absolutely nothing wrong with what they’re doing.

I don’t have a “main social media app”. I use Lemmy and Mastodon on mobile; Reddit and Facebook only on desktop.

You’re living under a rock, aren’t you? I keep reading about it nearly everywhere, way more than I would like to.

It’s a microblogging platform, i.e. replacement for Twitter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky

I’m here, I don’t answer to anywhere near all questions I see though.

If there were a universal answer to this, there wouldn’t be any others.

I myself currently use Debian (testing), have for some years now, but I have used other distros in the past too.

ideally donations like lots of other FOSS projects

What were you doing from early 2017 to early 2021? I suggest you do approximately that, unless you’ve grown out of things you were doing at the time of course.

I’m a software developer and there are many times I have to wait for something (a program execution to finish, clarification about a task, etc.) and thus have time to open tabs for lemmy and other non-work-related websites.

I might not meet your criteria though because I don’t usually create “several new posts daily” nor do I comment anywhere near on all threads I read (because I don’t comment where I don’t feel I have anything useful to add).

I think the US news sites are going to post their live updates to their websites too, that is at least how it was the last few presidential elections (I think I mostly used CNN). That is the same data they use for their news coverage, so you could use that; but watching live television will give you a clue when important updates have happened on them.

Of course you could just follow election-related hashtags on Mastodon to get a wide variety of people shouting all kinds of things about the election.

I’m not here for a drawn out debate. I think Israel’s settlement program is a major reason why there is no peace and I would find Israel a lot easier to defend if they weren’t doing it. It is only one piece of the puzzle though.

The thing is that I actually mostly agree with you, but I do not think that the other side is entirely illegitimate.

I mean the whole reason why you are confused is that this is the most complex conflict in the world and here (like everywhere else) you are going to get responses in both directions. I suggest you read what each side has to say for itself: for unconditional pro-Israeli propaganda I suggest https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/ and for unconditional pro-Palestinian propaganda I suggest https://mondoweiss.net/ – read both of these and decide for yourself what arguments on both sides you believe more.

I do not think there are any truly good guys in the conflict; but I do think that Israel is worse and tend to side with the Palestinians. This is mainly because Israel is the side with vastly more power and I think it’s up to the powerful, the oppressor, to try to treat the people they have power over with dignity and try to give up the power they have.

Of course, even that argument of mine has a counter-argument! You can (and should!) read it here: https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2016/07/the-parameters-of-discussion-michael.html

I kept seeing more and more things in Cyrillic especially because of the war in Ukraine, so gradually learned more and more of it online, now I know at least all the letters used in Russian. Now I can read Cyrillic, although only very slowly, basically I do it like an elementary school child.

I live in Austria for context, no neighboring countries with the Cyrillic alphabet.

Reading the Cyrillic alphabet.

It’s not anywhere near as hard as it seems and there are so many times you encounter it.

KDE Plasma because I can make it look, feel and work mostly like Windows. I have to use Windows at work and don’t want to have to think too hard about differences between computers I use at work vs. at home.
