It depends on whether you hold a world view where every person is valuable and needs help and understanding to become their best self or one where there are good and bad people and the baddies need to be punished and locked away so everyone else can live their life in peace.

It‘s a pretty good metaphor I‘d say and less bland than calling them plug and socket.

Cities like Berlin need to drastically decrease available parking and invest tons in public transport and bicycle infrastructure. The status quo feels like living in a 19th century industrial town, it’s disgusting.

Zigbee devices can still be crap if you have the choice between a proprietary app that phones home and maintaining home assistant as a part-time job

May those who build such unergonomic tools choke on a hair ball

I’m so nervous reading this

Listen to me, you will not use that old wiry thing anymore once you have an oxo peeler. They have a rubberized grip that’s actually hand-sized and I’ve been loving potato peeling with it.

Find den Witz auch n bisschen unnötig. Vor allem weil Prostituierte ja auch noch mehrere andere Körperöffnungen anzubieten haben.

Commute is part of working hours (with a reasonable limit)

Aber wieso gibt es nicht die Funktion die alten Bilder weiterhin anzugucken? Das ist so interessant und wertvoll. Macht mich ein bisschen traurig.

It is the correct term. I would just like to know who came up with that?

I also do that but I think „Handy“ is still the most common term. When there is any need for clarification for what you mean by „phone“, „handy“ will clear it up for everyone.

Das ist boioioioioioioioing

Not having appropriate tools to detect and mod auto-generated or repetitive content submitted by companies trying to influence public opinion.

Asking for upvotes in the title, e.g. “upvote if you think…”

IANAL, but he GDPR is quite reasonable and if Lemmy did the right thing © it would not be a problem I think. Transferring data to a jurisdiction, like for example the US, where people do not enjoy the same level of data protection comes with risks for any eu citizen. Therefore, it is important that any new user of Lemmy/ActivityPub is educated on what’s actually going on here and the consequences of posting on Lemmy for their personal data. Article 49, 1a) of the GDPR provides an exemption for the rule this posting is about if

the data subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer, after having been informed of the possible risks of such transfers for the data subject due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards

Why can’t we have that? Add a step to the signup process that explains the basics of how a decentralised community works: even if you sign up to a German Lemmy instance, Lemmy is a global community, your data may be transferred to any place in the world and that means that you won’t be able to enjoy the rights and protection you may expect on a German server. Click the “accept the risks” button to continue. Go to this link if you ever change your mind to stop federation of your content and attempt to remove it from any place it has already been federated to.

Even cooler if we can somehow record the jurisdiction of instances and build mechanics that act on that information, e.g. during federation.

Es ist noch viel schlimmer: Die Lemmy UI zeigt usern der beiden Instanzen nicht an was Sache ist. Es sieht so aus, als würde alles normal funktionieren, aber die beiden Communities sind “geforked”, so dass Kommentare die nach der Deföderation erstellt werden jeweils nur in einer Kopie existieren. Bei lemmy.world gab es noch eine umfangreichere Erklärung der Probleme die damit einhergehen.
