Fun fact: The population of the entire state of Wyoming is about the same as that of the 100th largest city in the US

I agree, it would be impossible to enforce any rules on color adjustment in a fair way. There's a lot of variability in terms of what is captured in camera as well as subjectivity in terms of what is most faithful to the actual subject even if the intention is to be 100% realistic, which is not always the case.
"average person changes sheets 4 times a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person changes sheets 25 times per year. Sheets Georg, who lives in cave & changes sheets never, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
Anything you post here can/will remain forever on some malicious instance that doesn’t honor deletion requests.
That is true of literally any social media; Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, there is nothing preventing someone from screenshotting a post, or a web crawler from archiving it, and then keeping that information after it is deleted from the original source.
It's called social media, the entire purpose of its existence is for other people to see what you post. This is true for Reddit, Twitter, literally any social media site. I'm not saying, well other social media is just as bad, I'm saying, this is inherently how social media works. If you're expecting anything you post on any social media to remain private or be completely erased from existence when you delete it, you're either stupid or hopelessly uniformed.
There are some sites where you can allow only people you've friended/followed can see your posts, but that is not the default setting and doesn't prevent someone you've shared your content with from saving and distributing it.
Most social media sites ask at the very least for your phone number and birthday when signing up; Lemmy doesn't, they don't have any personal information other than an email address and only if you choose to add that for account recovery.
If this article is news to you, then so might this headline: Warning: when you drive your car from one place to another on public roads you can be seen by other people. Car users should consider this carefully before driving.
People are short sighted. Adding bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure will improve traffic in the long run, but the results will not happen right away.
Even people who actively want to bike can't use that infrastructure if there isn't enough of it for them to get where they need to go, and once there is enough of it it will take everyone else a while to start adopting it into their routines.
The way most American towns are layed out with all the residential areas, industrial areas, retail areas, etc segregated off into their own areas contributes to this because the average person has to travel much greater distances in their day to day activities, which is that much more infrastructure that must be added and also discourages people from taking non-motorized transport because of the sheer amount of effort and travel time. I live in a major city and the nearest grocery store is 4 miles away; it's a 1 hour round trip on my bike, and there's only bike infrastructure for a quarter of that.
Towns will add bike lanes to a few roads and when no one uses them (because no one has their house and their place of work/grocery store/etc on the same road) decide they aren't working and not add any more.
This is not built into Lemmy at the moment so the only way to do it is browse using a 3rd party app/website that has added this feature.
The only one I'm aware of at the moment is Connect for Lemmy on Android.
Any idea why my SMS text messages containing links aren't being received by group chat participants?
RCS is Rich Communication Services, it's a newer protocol that is end to end encrypted and adds more features like replying to a specific message, emoji reactions, typing indicators and read receipts if the user has that turned on, and sending more types of files.
Your phone is supposed to check if the other person's phone supports RCS before sending a message using it, and automatically resend via SMS if an RCS message doesn't go through, but it doesn't always work.
In the default Google messages app it is the first option at the top of settings.
"In the week ending June 3, Bud Light's sales revenue—the brand's dollar income—was down 24.4 percent compared to the same week a year ago."
