In der Tat, Zeit. In der Tat.

Yeah the title is absolut shit.

And a ramge

No there’s a block of updates

It doesn’t update a range, there’s a range of updates

My god. Ken is right, language is not just a communication tool. Every language you learn, an entire new universe of human experiences opens up to you. It’s amazing. You get to experience the world through an entirely new lens, talk to and become friends with people who’d have stayed strange and strangers forever.

If I could go back to highschool, I’d choose the linguistic branch (we could choose between an additional foreign language, or computer science + more physics and chemistry). And I say that as a computer scientist who loves her field!

I have a list of languages I want to learn… Once I’m “finished” with the current one (aka fluent enough to not actively study every day). Chinese is also on that list.

Ugh, I hate it. My girlfriend though watches the (German synchronized) version to fall asleep.

Bright side, she hasn’t murdered me yet!

I mean, “nobody can be this stupid” might actually have protected them in the past… We’ll never know!

Yeah, similar here. We use Pareto Security (which is perfectly fine). I’m a bit worried though that some decision maker sees this and thinks "neat, now allachines can be managed via [whatever the Microsoft interface for that is called]

My personal desktop? Hahahahahaha nope

My work laptop? Nervously shuffles this article under the rug before the C-suite finds it

In terms of public bathrooms, I think I avoided them altogether for a long while (probably longer than necessary tbh), until I got my legal paperwork done. Thought was, OK, now I’m definitely allowed in here, so if someone takes issue, I’m on the safe side.

(Noone has ever taken issue.)

That was 2018, I think (?). Couple of weeks ago I was on an extended trip to Japan, and my GF convinced me it’d be no problem to go to the hotel Onsen. And indeed, it wasn’t 🤷🏼‍♀️ Still took overcoming a fair bit of panic, but just like back then, there were zero issues.

How / what are you jumping to?

Woah, trotzdem krass. Ich hab gerade mal 260 Films, davon vielleicht 50 gesehen, und keine List auf die anderen 😭 Dafür ähnlich viele Serien, und alle gesehen und für gut befunden 😄

Wie bitte was. Und ich bin schon happy mit knapp 12 TB Serien/Filmen.

Du hast fast 4000 Filme und 3000 Serien???

If you want to avoid the gpg mess, you can actually also configure gut to sign with your SSH key.

Disclaimer: I host and use XMPP. I like using it.

That being said: the question isn’t if there’s any client, the question is if there’s a good client.

And my god, do XMPP clients suck ass. At best, they’re decent (monocles comes to mind, for example), but I actively loathe interacting with Linux desktop XMPP clients. There’s not a single one that is competently designed, or rather, they are all so fucking bare-bones and ugly looking.

“But that doesn’t matter!” yes it does shut the fuck up.

99% of the population doesn’t give a shit if you support the latest OMEMO spec or are written in memory safe rust or whatever else.

It takes a a fraction of a second to realize “this client sucks” and at most an additional minute to figure out “…and it’s not suited to my use-case”.

I also host matrix and use it extensively on all my devices. There actually are nice clients, and even some Discord-likes. But a) the protocol is so horrible, I’m not sure reinventing the wheel can be called a bad thing, and b) I want to cry once a week at least when using it. Why do my old messages not load today? Why does my message show as sent two weeks ago (!), but only arrived now (!) despite having sent plenty of messages both directions in between? Why are all of my messages marked as “can’t verify authenticity” on about half my devices, but not the other, a bug that has been open for YEARS with hundreds of complaints and pleas to at least reduce the danger-signaling indicator since it indicates “insecure!” to non-expert users, with zero maintained response? And this is just for myself, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck supporting matrix for friends & family. I mean, I am doing that, but fuuuuuuuuck thaaaaat.

Fluxer allows us to tell friends and family “here try this, it’s just like discord but no corporate bullshit!”, and they can open the app and go “oh yeah that is like Discord. Ok, sure, we can try using that instead”.

…oh. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Looks like only their “small web” initiative is 100% self-indexed, and everything else is indeed a mixture of sources.

Oof.

I guess tue point still stands: the results are a lot better than plain Google, all the bullshit is stripped out and you get to customize your results in actually useful ways.

Still sad though.

I know it’s not the thing you likely want to hear, but… At this point, I’m glad I switched to a paid search engine (Kagi).

Theoretically, there’s nothing stopping them from enshittifying down the road. But at least for now (and hopefully the future) they are a great search engine.

They have their own index (so no relying on google/bing), and it actually works as I remember Google working 7+ years ago. Minus the ads, and plus a ton of flexibility permanently boosting/removing sites from your searches, auto-grouping/ignoring listicle-type articles in results, flagging sites as AI slop and punishing them for it,…

They even have a fediverse search “lense” that actually works really well to search Lemmy/mastodon/…

I just realized I sound like a paid shill. Sorry about that. I’m not.

Z.B. im Parteiprogramm.

Ehm hallo was, was hast du gegen Voyager 😭

Oder war das ein Vertippser von Discovery?
