How do you not know what a lion looks like when you have a literal lion delivered to you?

Hey, not fair. It’s one user, ok? I mean, that’s me, but still

As expected: Many words, no substance at all

I think you can just sync the Obsidian Directory with any cloud service or syncthing and it should work fine.

In German there is this kinda obscure phrase „Pferde vor der Apotheke kotzen sehen“, which translates to „seeing horses puke in front of the pharmacy“ used to denote something highly unlikely, because horses can’t puke and especially in front of a pharmacy where they could get something against their nausea.

I had a conversation with a friend about iPads lately related to the „just lacking the OS“. The newer iPads with M-chips have all the computing power an average user could need but it’s crippled by the mobile-ish OS, so all the computing power is for nothing basically. An iPad running MacOS (with some adjustments for the Touchscreen) would be awesome. But we concluded it won’t happen anytime soon, because then basically no one would buy MacBooks anymore

You say you hear about protests and community action. They have to have been organized by someone. Is there a way for you to find out by whom? Then you could they to reach out to them

I‘m German and have eaten a lot of potato salad during my entire life. Not once has it been served hot

Thats exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you!

Genuine question: why would people have a problem with making stuff you post publicly searchable?

Is there info the attack vector anywhere?

He’s a good buoy tho

TIL „touch“ has other uses than creating a file

I do on my work computer, bc I don’t really have another choice there. But as it’s chromium based it’s actually not that big of a pain in the ass to use compared to internet explorer back then. But in my personal life I would still never use it

I never said people shouldn't have that right, i was just genuinely wondering why it's important to people. Thanks for the insight, definitely good points you make. :) But somehow I think, if a big company wants to scrape that data (thats still publicly available, whether you make it natively searchable or not) they can do it anyway. So if you're worried about that, shouldn't you rather just not post that stuff to the public? (I want to emphasise again that I'm not trying to argue against you, I just want to understand as I'm not that well versed on these topics)

Thanks for your response! It's a very good explanation of the concept of federation, although that wasn't what I meant. I get why switching between instances of a certain platform (like Lemmy) can make sense, for the reasons you mentioned. But not what the differences are between having an account on Lemmy vs. Mastodon for example, if they're interconnected.
