  • Wiktionary and thefreedictionary.com express that this phrase refers to the subjective belief of a person telling a joke (and I believe that extends to someone laughing at one) rather than that every joke expresses some objective truth.

    However, this brings up the idea that subjective biases can prevent someone from actually understanding reality, so independently declaring that something is “100% false” is still dubious.

    Do link-aggregation platforms like Lemmy have a documented method for marking things as true or false, other than by trying to change the relative number of upvotes? Community standards regarding what content should be most prominently displayed are documented for Wiktionary and Wikipedia.

    Regardless, I don’t want to discuss the implications of an aphorism on racism, as any disagreement in that discussion may be interpreted as being against the rules of our instances.

    What problems do you have most often? Can you come up with a description of a class of problems you have that would account for most of the time you spend troubleshooting?

    Who provided the documentation you used to install a Linux operating system you had trouble with? I don’t recall having serious issues after installing openSUSE or Fedora Linux or even NixOS, and I certainly don’t recall having any issues of above-average importance that weren’t a direct result of my intentional actions (e.g. trying to permanently change what DNS servers would be used).
