In Boost for Lemmy you can see lists of everything you posted, commented, upvoted or downvoted in your profile.

In German it’s even funnier if you translate haunted with “besessen” as it means “occupied by bad souls” and “being sit on” at the same time.

In the beginning of COVID I ran out of tea once and since then I got used to just drink warm water from the tap in most cases. 🚰

That’s new to me. For me so far it was sufficient to follow this part from the linked article…

Or, if Windows is already installed, from either the Sign on screen or the Start menu, select Power (Power button icon) > hold Shift while selecting Restart. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware settings.

As you’re currently using Windows on your PC, you might have to do an extended reboot. By default Windows skips the UEFI/USB step in the boot sequence to make Windows boot slightly faster.

From my perspective mails are federated. If I want to explain federation as a concept to someone I always use mail as an example because everyone can write to everyone independent of the provider, you can selfhost it easily, you could move from one company to another (if you use your own domain), protocols are all FOSS.

So at least it’s an open and distributed system. What would be missing for it to count as federated?

The problem with most crypto compared to regular money is that it’s often seen as an investment. However, one of the most important factors for a currency that is used in everyday transactions is stability and predictability. Money is supposed to ease trading goods and services as a universal middleman. It’s not supposed to make someone rich who invested first.

Of course there’s also inflation and deflation with regular money but as soon as that’s getting out of control, it typically leads to serious economic issues.

But just a tiny Matchbox car that you need to spend a small fortune over almost two decades before it’s ready for use.

Depending on the speed of the hotdog car you should get your exhaust checked. ;)

Does it work to change that on-the-fly by manipulating the HTML source via the browser’s inbuilt dev tools?

Somehow a pretty meta level joke if not only the rabbit but the entire international system of bloodtypes is possibly based on a typ0. 😂

In Germany the blood types are A, B, AB and 0 (zero). That’s where my confusion came from: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB0-System

Hint: You have to read it as “Type O” not 0/Zero/Null. Took me quite long ;)

It also works with Amazon FireTV (Stick) or any other Android TV box / stick, just in case you have already one lying around. ;)

I don’t think being interested in the (ancestors’) race of a co-worker is necessary racist. I worked with people with all kinds of cultural backgrounds and it might be just an interesting topic to talk about. If someone has family in Iran, Senegal or Indonesia that’s definitely more interesting to me than a conversation about weather or last night’s football game.

I also didn’t watch this video here but saw videos earlier where livestock was fed with expired food that supermarkets weren’t able to sell in time. All kinds of products like vegetables, bread, cake, yogurt etc. were delivered to the farmers directly or to intermediate companies. In many cases the food was still in its packaging, e.g. a plastic bag around a loaf of bread. But to keep costs low everything just went into a huge shredder and was then fed to the animals. Including lots of micro (and not so micro) plastics.

So the cost cutting is not about “explicitly feeding plastics as a cheap filler” but rather “accepting to have plastics in the food in favor of lower sorting costs”.

In the documentary I watched this was described a common practice all over Europe.

I’ve always missed a rating/feedback/comment feature in F-Droid. A lemmy-based solution would be pretty cool.

I think that question is hard to answer as there are very few topics of everyday life that aren’t at least remotely political.

Big cars, weapons, traditional family models (e.g. stay at home moms), focussing on traditional industries such as petrol than new technology such as solar etc. are all typical conservative topics. I mean conservative already implies with its name that you want to conserve the ‘as is’.

Contrarily, progressive and liberal people will be more open to changes and trying new things: food, new ways of transportation, new business models, other family concepts.

What does a lemming do here on Facebook? Aren’t you supposed to jump down some cliffs or so?

If you prefer pure text wouldn’t you be better off with a news reader and the Usenet? I understand Lemmy to be a federated and open alternative to Reddit. So a community-driven, thread-based social media platform. I think with text-only media Lemmy would lose a majority of its users.
