You could always start this if you can't find it, could be interesting? c/middleground?

Edit: the center is going to mean different things to different people too.

There's at least some parts of the lemmy community where those views are acceptable even if generally they're frowned upon in the wider community. Maybe !debate ? The hilariouschaos instance seems relatively err... libertarian in their approach to free speech but still is widely federated to other instances. Not speaking from experience as I'm not subscribed to any of their communities but that was the impression I got.

Regardless of our current differences of opinion on transgender folks and (most kinds of) immigration, and the differences between you and the lemmy community at large I'd like to think it's a big enough place that you'll be able to find room here for respectful discussion, or start a community of your own on an instance where it can happen.

Do they call them subterrenes (similar to submarines) in the industry or is that term a ridiculous steampunk conceit? Big respect here for those who tunnel

Did your coworkers crack a lot of jokes about The Underminer from The Tick and Krang from Ninja Turtles?

I definitely remember short 2 or 3 second clips of relatively high quality music being played through our family's IBM XT's motherboard speaker at one point using a demo we got from a BBS or the Public Domain Software site in the mid-80s. It wasn't easy but some madman made a proof-of-concept that did it and it was incredible at the time.

Honestly my Skullcandy Smokin Buds were $20 and I can't imagine needing better sound quality or battery life. I've had them 6 months and expect at least another year or two of life out of them easily, assuming I don't lose one in the toilet or laundry.

I definitely remember seeing the original meme somewhere no later than 2003

What magazine?

I'm gonna believe it was Hustler, Larry Flynt was a big supporter of internet freedom.

I mean you've got the Magellanic clouds, that makes up for a lot

I remember reading there was something like this back in the mid/late 00s too, maybe without the giftcards but you could sign up for email alerts when there was a forum thread that needed to be brigaded, long before even reddit was a thing.

Edit: read about it on Metafilter at the time but it seems to have been purged. If you're interested maybe the post is findable on the Internet Archive

The classical conservatives are often good at barbecue and fixing/building things, and country music was okay in the 90s, I guess.

Porn, anime, sports, a bunch of video games I don't play, and some spammy or obnoxious communities too. Oh, and foreign languages I don't speak (until we get built-in translation)

I agree with your point, but balaclava is the hat, baclava is the delicious Greek pastry.

A lot of retailers are replacing their standard phone systems with products from Zoom and other AI transcription enabled providers. In environments with audio recording, its reasonable to assume that relatively soon, full transcripts of conversations identified to individual speakers will be easily obtained, summarized and analyzed by AI. This will hopefully soon come under scrutiny for violating both two- and one-party consent laws for audio recording.
