Are adults really not supposed to financially helps their old parents? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

It depends where you are. I live in a country where you are not expected to help. Also many parents activelly try not to leave anything behind for their kids. There is a saying here that goes 'if there is any inheritage left when i die, i must have miscalculated'.

That said, the system does help with any basic needs and healthcare

How cheap/expensive is your cost of living in a low-cost area and a small paid off home? in c/[email protected]

Maybe ask a more local community instead of people from around the world. The variation is huge within the US but its even bigger among lemmy users.

Sounds like you're using a less than optimal app to browse lemmy. Have a look around for one of the hundreds of post about app recommendations

When they reply that they have deleted the account, do you assume that they also delete any information that they have stored or that they simply close it and keep the information?

Personally i want them to delete my email name and other information so that it is not at all in their systems.

The problem here is, that I can't write and check, without them creating a new account for that email

I've done that a few times yeah with other cases. This is just the first time that i see someone create an account just for contacting them

I asked this company to close and delete my account, and they replied that they have closed it. They use a type of ticket system where you need to log in to their site to see replies.

I wanted to reply, to ask if they also have deleted my data, instead of just closing the account. In order to contact them, they will create a new account SMH

Whats an absurd luxury you enjoy every day in your life? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I work 24 hour shifts but also get paid to sleep. This results in 6-7shifts a month to cover a full time job. It allows for a lot of free time and also easilly able to add extra shifts if needed during tough times

A bidet seemed like a luxury until i started using the one that was installed in the house that we rent.

Now it seems more like a requirement

Is it just me, or does it feel like Lemmy is being hit with a wave of political spam? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

Denmark has yes. I believe its limited to a pretty short period of a month.

In a way people decide on what to vote, depending on what the parties have been active with in between elections. The campaigning mostly is about promoting that and pointing at what others have failed with

I would have expected them to ask me to message them, in order to resolve the issue of not having access to my old email. Instead, they assume that I still have access to it, by simply contacting my email provider!

If I could do that, I wouldn't have lost access to it through would I?

I was actually there because i was considering creating an account and wanted to check it out.

Then they pop one of those and lost me for ever!

Microsoft word update messes up exams in Denmark (www.dr.dk)
 

Sorry for the Danish post i hope you can translate it.

The Ministry warns that Microsoft programs can create problems for written exams for students with Mac computers.

Users who have updated the programs to the latest version may experience the programs running slowly, freezing and crashing. This means that the examinees are delayed in their work and that parts of the answers risk being lost, write the Agency for Education and Quality and the Agency for IT and Learning in a notice to schools.

For security reasons (lemmy.world)
 

Please use a personal email. My email is 'mail' @ 'my actual name'. It does not get more personal than that

But you can't use emails starting with mail@, admin@, support@, info@, main@, etc.

Instead they advised me (3 times) to create a personal email on a service like Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Orange, etc

A huge post about how to create a Facebook business account without a personal account. The whole thing was filler text and ambiguous sentences like this

The internet is dying, but it is being killed!

Do you have advice for hosting public or maybe even federated blogging? (lemmy.world)
 

I would like to set up an online platform for users, within my niche hobby of interest, to blog about their activities. (notice the hosting company only has FTP access and databases - no SSH)

So it is basically an online blogging platform (could it be wordpress?) where people simply sign up and start blogging about their hobby. I would want sign up to be more or less automatic. As far as I could tell, Wordpress offers this, but an admin would be needed to set up and approve the new blog.

I was hopping for a joined feed on the front page, showing all post as the are posted, but also allow for each user to have their own "front page" or feed, with their own posts.

Categories, tags etc should be shared (but not uploaded media).

I have been looking at federated option, but the ones that I have found require SSH or me to be able to execute commands (?). I have only tried installing systems using the PHP files and I am not offered SSH or cPanel at my host

Would you think of words that you don't know, ending with "phile" as something sexual (or negative)? (lemmy.world)
 

I am looking for a name for an idea that I have for a website. It is a niche hobby, but there is a greek word for it that most people don't know. Lets say its a book club and the word was Bibliophile or a music club called Melophile.

Would you, if you did not know the meaning, think of it as something sexual, or maybe even something bad? I am nervous that users might relate it to pedophile even though that is just one of, (but maybe best known) philias there are

what can I host on a webserver? (lemmy.world)
 

I have a few domains and some space available on a we server that I have had for ages but never really used. Its mainly meant for website hosting and it works pretty well for WordPress and similar services.

Could I host any self posted programs on such a server and what should I search for when researching options?

I can set up a database and upload files to the ftp server but i dont believe that i have a C panel or can run ssh.
