No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Think of it this way. You're free to call all creatures that live underwater "birds", but no matter how many good reasons you have for doing that, or how much sense it makes to you, the rest of the world is going to assume that "birds" means flying feathered creatures. Unless you can convince the entire English speaking world that they are wrong and you are right, you're just going to create confusion in others and yourself by refusing to use the terms as most people understand them.
Just checked.
Now what? ๐ค
Remember the example I said about the birds? This is essentially you saying, "But what about the Flying Fish? That proves that birds swim and fish fly."
Like I said, you have every right to keep saying it wrong. It's your choice.
"Third party" in the general sense, means "Someone that isn't you or me"
So, when Steam says third party, they refer to companies that aren't Steam. When other companies say it, they refer to any other company, including Steam. It's context sensitive.
And when I say third party as Steam customer, I am referring to other launchers, even if they made the game I bought. Or is context not important here?
Are you asking because you still don't understand why you're wrong, or because you're trying to convince the world that everyone else is wrong?
If you're having trouble grasping the concept, it's probably because you keep referring to different, very specific examples as contradictions to other very specific examples.
If you just want me to say you're right and everyone else should change their definitions to match yours, then you do you, and best of luck with that.
