What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] elbowgrease@lemm.ee 35 points 2 months ago (3 children)

people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

I have an idea for a constitutional amendment that I want to post to lemmy, so people can read and comment on it. Where should I post it I guess I could post it as a "is this a good idea" and put it in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

take a look at politics at lemmy.world. their side bar has links to other related communities, any one of which might also be a good place to post depending on what you have in mind

New Epson EULA waives users rights in courts (web.archive.org)
 

whilst updating the firmware on my Epson printer, I was presented with their updated EULA which - shock and surprise /s- limits users rights to seek relief in court or participate as part of a class in any class action suit.

While you can't update the firmware without accepting the terms of the new EULA, they do describe a way to opt-out of the provisions which limit your legal rights. You simply need to send a letter to them saying you want to opt out of those provisions. ** BUT** you only have 30 days from the date you accept the EULA to opt-out.

For anyone inclined, I've included a template of the letter I sent for myself to save others time in doing the same.

browsing other instances? (lemm.ee)
 

do any off the Lemmy or kbin apps provide a way to browse instances other than your own? kind of like filtering for "local" posts but local to another federated instance.

I've subscribed to communities from other instances once I find ones I like. but the only way I can "find" them it's if I see an interesting post when I filter for "all" posts - what some other site might refer to as a post making it to the front page

I guess I could hunt from a web browser to do that, but I'd rather not have to switch between apps to do that
