In case you didn't know, you can turn off promotional emails in Settings -> Dashboard -> Email Subscriptions or by adding a mail filter to push them all into an advertisement folder, and the other ads can be mitigated by hitting "don't show this offer again" on each one

sarcasm was not clear, I bought a kilo of heroin after reading your first comment and now I don't know what to do with it. I'm using it as a mousepad now

tbh at this point being a Linux user is a Lemmy meme

Nitpick: the proper term is "virtual desktop" or "workspace", as "desktop environment" is already a common term for the software composing the entire user interface.

I enjoy using this feature on any operating system since it lets me quickly scan through and declutter open windows, and place categories of windows in their own workspaces. I might have only productivity windows on one, and leisure and socials on another. It's especially effective if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for navigating inside and between workspaces. All this improves my productivity and keeps distractions away.

Every time I sneeze I redirect all the air into a cough. If I actually need my sinuses cleared (e.g., at the end of a cold germ) I just blow my nose. Am I in the minority?

The Mandela Effect does not exist in the manner you're describing, and by priming your audience to expect a specific false memory you're tainting the data from any responses you get.

People wouldn't have the Berenstain/Bernstein thing mixed up in their heads so much if the conversation about it was always phrased as "Who are the authors of that old children's picture book series with the bears?" instead of adding doubt with "Do you remember the authors as Berenstain or Bernstein?"

Bro, you just downvoted everyone and changed the automatic upvote on all your own comments into downvotes. Both vote totals are recorded separately

If it's the one you reposted that goes "oh my god, did you make a whole post (...)" both copies of that one are visible

The entire thread is visible to me on Voyager and Chromium with no deletions, I don't see any deletions under this post either

I've interacted with a lot of manipulative people online and offline, and nothing I could find in wildginger's public comments was suggestive of manipulation. No Motte & Bailey defense, no coercive use of ambiguous phrasing, absolutely no sealioning, and not much of anything else. The worst thing they did was show an understandable amount of anger at your insistence that Christian Selig open-source his highly expensive software.
