I think one of the Lemmy devs is German too

I think you’re mixing things up a bit. LineageOS, GrapheneOS etc. are not what people refer to as “mobile Linux”, mobile Linux would be Ubuntu touch, mobian etc.

Btw. do you know about Sailfish OS?

I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I’m also using it on android next to sync.

Copilot/Bing Search might put a big dent in that in the future. People will just ask an AI instead of “googling”.

Could be just tactics. Remember the uproar the first time it was said threads would federate? Suddenly they were “not ready yet”.

Now in the second go, the idea got already normalized and there are more pro-meta comments. And they will stay silent and non-intrusive at the beginning.

Zuck is really big into early adaptation (metaverse i.e.), they see potential in the fediverse and their first objective is to be part of it, then grow with it and finally take advantage of it, once the time is right.

It’s really not a good thing that some people think the fediverse is going to go up in flames as soon as meta joins. That’s obviously not going to happen and sets wrong expectations that could lead to more acceptance.

They can get the data, but they need the federation so people see their content/advertisement.

To block or not to block

Even though it sounds like he is gonna run around and desert it one day :(

You have to go first to “sources” and then it’s in the YouTube options

I’m supposed to be getting Linux tips from this guy?

No, this is Linus Sex Tips not Linux Tech Tips!

They belong(ed) to the german royal house “Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha” and changed their name to “Windsor” after WW1 to not be affiliated with germany anymore. I don’t know if that’s enough to call them foreign though.

Ireland is probably is a nice country to live in, but it’s pretty ironic recommending it to someone wanting to come to the EU because of its regulations on big companies.

Ireland costs other countries 16bn a year by allowing those companies to evade taxes in the EU.

Valid opinion and immutable distros like silverblue might be where the future is headed.

It’s not the point though, I’m not going with a distro that tries to force their proprietary solution on me.

Sexual harassment allegations are not “drama”. And anyways, the comparison is in the way they apologize and not the damage they have done.

Maybe a take on Google/Alphabet? He might think it gets (purposely) drowned in the results so he won’t be able to find it if he doesn’t save it? No idea though…

Especially because Steve said “auctioned” and not “sold”. Nice strawman, same as his “bad journalism” take. It only leads the discussion away from the allegations.

I’m on a german instance (feddit.de) and it’s federated with db0.

I think it’s just lemmy.world bullshit.

Has anyone read their post about their downtime?

“We shouldn’t close registration or limit the amount of communities because we’re not even the biggest instance in the fediverse”

Like, what?! The argument was always that they are the biggest in Lemmy! It felt like they were trying to gaslight the users.

Same as the other arguments, like new users being weirded out if they can’t register to lemmy.world or apps using them as default. So them being down all the time doesn’t matter? Or that lemmy.ml was the biggest instance and closed down registration and new users registered to other instances without a problem?

I’m really weirded out how hard they try to be the “main” thing on Lemmy.

I think it’s their counter-argument to:

“If earth is really flat, why do ships disappear behind the oceans horizon?”

“Water mountains”

Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

• I had “Undetermined”, “Deutsch” and “English” selected in my profile.
• I was able to set the comment to “Undetermined”, but then still not able to set it to “Deutsch” (back to “English”, worked though)
• Changing the word “homie” didn’t make a difference
• Other comments set to “Undetermined” were able to switch to “Deutsch”
• Other comments set to “English” (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to “Deutsch”

Seems like it’s a problem with this comment in particular, but I can’t figure out why!

Edit: I found another comment set to “Deutsch”, written in german, that can’t be changed no matter what.

I’m trying but the save button just loops endlessly…

What difference does it make? Aren’t you able to see the comment?
