This look more and more like a speedrun on how to bring down a well established platform in under a year.

Am I getting this correct: the whole lemmy.world instance run in one single container on one single host?

This does not sound legal. What country are we talking about?

Happy KeepassXC User reporting and there actually is a browser plugin that works flawlessly.

Did you author any other standards and how high is the chance of a proposal being approved if you don't have any accepted proposal yet?

I get the analogy but don't agree with the reasoning. Or maybe it depends on the circumstance. But for foreign languages I would suggest it's the other way round: The fur (grammar/prononciation) might look (sound) nice, but it's the vocabulary that bring the actual meaning to whatever you say.

I think the entry barrier is still higher than reddit. So I doubt we'll see reddit users migrate by the millions because not everyone believes in free and open platforms like most of us do. But I'm excited to see what happens on Saturday when 3rd party apps shut down.

I guess a big spike is still ahead, which will be around Saturday, once the 3rd party reddit apps shut down for good.

Terrifyingly beautiful

Why wasn't there an info on /lemmy-world.statuspage.io ?

I agree about the zoom buttons. But the rest looks quite handy. Changing orientation and (un)muting took too much interaction and therefore attention.

Nice example for borrowings! I was thinking about this in the context of learning a new language.

Imho schools put way too much emphasis on the grammar vs the vocabulary. At least that's what I experienced in three different countries, where you would learn 4 different past tenses but not be able to use any of it because you're missing the vocabulary.

Being able to say "Where restaurant/hospital/train station?" is much more helpful than being able to just say "Where is the restaurant?". So I guess my argument applies to learning new languages, where I think vocabulary is the more decisive factor but I agree that in it's essence a languages grammar counts more.

Wait is this actually a thing?

Marxism–Leninism (at least that's what I made of it after hearing about the admins being tankies)

Absolutely recommend this channel/podcast in general! Always looking forward to Sunday.

The post title contradicts the abstract. Gboard does not transmit the content "only" telemetry data.

This is just for the statistics that show the number of active users on a platform/instance/community level.

Angry upvote

Hey Siri, how to demilitarize a country?
