I generally go to self-scan line, so it’s the order in which I bought these. When I go to a more classical line, Heavy, then cold, then light so the heavy stuff goes on the bottom of the bag, the cool stuff in the middle (where they are a bit protected) and the light things on top

The strength of the fediverse is that it’s a whole network of individually owned servers. The weakness of the fediverse is that it’s a whole network of individually ownwed servers.

it’s a strength because you don’t rely on large companies and are closer from the internet as it was designed with a decentralized network of equal importances server rather than a few big one. Which limits the power of the people owning the server and let having diverse moderation policies (e.g. I am all in letting a space for far righter mocking left-winter on Lemmygrad, but I am glad my instance doesn’t federate with them)

It’s a weakness, because the person running the instance may-close it tomorrow, many instance relies on someone spare ressources in time/infrastructure/money, some would accept donations,some are run by larger non profit (which also rely on donation, but have a legal structure to take them). It also means that they don’t have the legal ressource to know the exact limit between legal and illegal leading to critic about their moderation closing community about topic like piracy Thread

the cool thing is that even if an instance closes, migration is fairly easy, so the impact is limited. It can be frustrating, I remember the closing of a large forum where I was involved in the large 00’s which was quite frustrating for contributors (It was like a server crash followed by a corrupted backup, shit happens)

Note also that proprietary social media do close too, remember when google closed plus or wave ? or when yahoo close yahoogroups ? it’s not like being owned by a large company means it’ll be open forever (look at US trying to ban tik tok)

You’ll die. In 50-70 years you’ll be sleeping in a grave, while there is a good chance that the US (or Germany/France/China) will still be around. Even though a couple of countries have multi-generation mortgages (looking a your switzerland) most bank won’t lend money to people if they think they’ll die before paying pack. It’s less an issue with governments. Well if we look at history, every 100-200 years, there is a moment when a country stop paying their debt, best case they throw the bankers in jail and seize their goods, worst case they do economic reform and punish their own citizen. but it’s still way safer than lending money to a person/company.

That said, public debt is still a potential issue, the era of negative interest rate is over and these interest are part of a country budget. Moreover, i am always weirded out when the state take poor money it’s called taxes, but when they state take rich people money it’s called debt and we give them interest.

Finally, even though everyone know that at a point any government will either declare bankrupcy, have inflation, or a revolution to cancel the debt, the risk over a few years (to take typical treasure bonds is still very low. My money is safer in public debts of almost every country than on stock of a large company)

User interface.
OK miss/calc/shark key has it but mastodon is pretty rough, and lemmy isn’t that nice. Yes I know for Lemmy Alexandrite is neater than the official app, but it’s already some power user level, same for instances having the photon and old front-end.

Considering how powerful is the copyright mafia (Remember that the pirate bay founder got jail-time) I totally understand why the people running the instance are doing so. I get why user are pissed off, but they’re free to host their own instance and deal by themselves with the legal liability

In term of UX the miss/calc/shark key beat Mastodon.

However, Mastodon has way more instances (including many ran by well established organisations) and a stabler codebase (while, regarding *key, I am a bit concerned by the amount of forks)

It’s the same fediverse so you would see the sa me federation from both

Considering that you need to check tire pressures every 6-12 weeks, I wouldn’t worry about the summer/winter difference.

On my bike the recommended pressure is in the 4-6 bar range. so way more than the expected variation from temperature (or day to day pressure).

The trick is that the fedi, has already better tools than reddit/Xitter. We can already flag the language and filter by language, which is feature reddit still doesn’t have. So it’s also about people using it rather than blocking/downvoting

Note that, with some other french speaker we’ve done a couple of experiences with language tags. Some instances ignore the c/ default language https://sh.itjust.works/post/16306134 so even if the community is properly set some languages aren’t set automatically.

Moreover some /c/ may want to be multi-lingual and then users need to set language by hand no matter what

We, ve made it Lemmy ! We created a Word and brought it to Google front page

Are you trying to recreate the race theory ? There isn’t enough difference among human ethnicity to have sounds that you can’t do biologically.

However, as brain plasticity diminish with age, there is tons of sounds that non native can pronounce, look at French trying to speak english and struggling to get the th sound correctly Ze Ding is Tat or English speakers unable to get the french u sound properly Excousez moi. And this is for 2 countries which are pretty close geographically and culturally. I let you imagine what happen when an European try to learn an east-asian or sub saharian language, especially as an adult. IT’s not about genetic, just about not being used to these sounds

Many countries aren’t that far from UBI. When you add all the welfare programs, People alrcadx get money When not working or When notgettimg a fair wage (yeah wage are so low that in today’s economy minimal wages workers alrcadx need some welfare benefits tolive)

UBI is about generalizing it and making it a livable amont. This would be a taxable income, it would allow working class to work less (letting works for others) whiletaxes won’t let the rich get tricher zithouthaving to work

I wouldn’t be on lemmy if I wasn’t worried by the weight of foreign bilionaire on technology that should be accessible for everyone.

But I doubt that VR will got that mainstream considering all the practical diffictulties to use-it

In general I try to so. that said even if I fail to do so, why would you follow a community in a language you don’t know.

By the way, beside ich_iel, which relax, laid back german community shall I follow to not forget the few German I know. All I do at the moment is listening once a month to DW Langsam gesprochene nachricten which isn’t enough to stay fluent.

How big is your instance ?

On a medium sized instance, The local feed might be a good start-up to find “popular users and hashtags” (Actually, I don’t do it on Lemmy, but may-be I should)

What stuff do you find interesting ? You can follow writer like Greg Egan or Neil Gaiman, you can fallow European agencies like the one in charge of data protection, and then tons of bloggers, streamers, and other users.

Pro tip. NPC want to live too offers more alternative to combats, make the one happening more interesting.

The Borg games have a whole morale rules to let the NPC flee, but this can be managed based on what makes sense story wise

And this is how, at a LARP, the cute alchemist touched my dick, after it was cut from my body.

True story, and that’s how I had a characcer becoming the great godly eunuch
