Kann gar nicht sein. Hab gerade nur zufällig draufgeguckt und direkt nen Beluga XL gespottet der über uns geflogen ist.

So hyped for this years championship! It’s super close since all drivers are withing 25 points of each other!!!

You can press on the yellow highlighted areas and it asks you if you want to peek.

Spotify is so ubiquitous that it always felt like it’s similar to big US tech companies like YouTube and Instagram. But it’s actually swedish.

What part of the glasses are you breaking? I broke the hinge once and since then I watch out to buy only glasses with a thicker hinge than the tiny ones that are really common.

Also alles umstoßen und hoffen, dass sich die ganze Welt danach so verhält wie man es sich vorher ausgemalt hat und sich niemand zur Wehr setzt? Weiß ja nicht…

I’m using windy.com (it’s from the Chech Republic, see Wikipedia) all the time however it might be a bit overkill if you just want to see the temperature and if it is going to rain. It lets you see different models and a ton of different things. I like the compare function where you can see what the different models predict right next to each other.

Recently had to help my mom figure out her new internet setup. She wanted to keep her old phone number but it was not carried over to the new provider. My guess is she said that she wanted to keep it while ordering the new one but never followed any of the steps they gave her to make that work. So we called them and it was crazy how she was unable to explain to them what her current situation is and what needs to be fixed. Claiming that “nothing works” even though the internet works just fine and the only problem is the phone number. Also not really looking at the emails they send her and following the steps to activate the online service center where she could manage this stuff on her own.

Later I showed her that the laptop she got from work is able to connect to her new router wirelessly and does not have to be connected via cable. She already uses another laptop and her phone over wifi. Apparently she just has no interest in understanding how any of the internet systems work.

Ist das eine Eigenkreation oder gibt es da wo das her kommt noch mehr davon?

Hatte nur kurz auf das Profil geguckt und gesehen, dass es hauptsächlich politische Kommentare waren aber nicht die “problematischen” Posts/Kommentare. Falls es kein Bot ist muss er/sie sich aber auch nicht wundern, dass man abgelehnt wird wenn man direkt nachdem man einer Community beigetreten ist denen schon nur seine Meinung mitteilen will und nicht erstmal guckt wie sich die Leute dort überhaupt verhalten.

Ist sehr stark abhängig von der Instanz/Server was nicht erlaubt oder nicht erwünscht ist. Gerade was Politisches angeht. Wenn es dir auf der jetzigen nicht gefällt guck dir gerne mal andere Instanzen an. Mehrere Accounts machen kostet ja nix.

Bleiben kannst du dort wo es dir gefällt, oder du nimmst es selbst in die Hand und machst deine eigene Community oder sogar Instanz auf. Das ist das Schöne am Fediverse. Wenn es einem irgendwo nicht gefällt hat man zumindest die Möglichkeit es selber besser zu machen.

What I’m trying to say is that every social network has it’s quirks that you just need to learn. The willingness to learn also depends on how attractive the platform is. With time i see no reason for lemmy to not grow like reddit did.

If you just google “Lemmy” one of the first results is https://join-lemmy.org/ where you are directed to an instance that suits you. Far from perfect but Lemmy is still young.

People probably don’t even really need to understand federation. They just need sane defaults to get started and work from there.

The only additional step you have on lemmy is choosing an instance and honestly it does not even matter that much which you choose. I’m not saying it’s trivial but it is nothing that is inherently more difficult.

Reddit was really strange compared to everything else a few years ago. It only appears easy now because we are familiar with the concept of subreddits now.

Bin letztens auf Photon umgestiegen und damit sehr zufrieden, daher Upvote.

Yes, especially with Ramstein located in Germany being an important global hub for the US.

I remember joining reddit when it had the old interface and thinking that it is super unintuitive and complicated compared to all other social media. This didn’t stop reddit from growing and i don’t think lemmy will be restricted by this in the long run. People generally are just not aware of the fediverse and how it works yet but they will get used to it.

So far I’ve heard quite a few people say we should focus more on getting the stuff we depend on from Europe, but I’m not sure if these people were still as supportive if it meant that they have to pay a little bit more.
