One big difference I see, between email and various messengers on the on side and social networks on the other side is, that emails are me pushing my information at people while a social network is supposed to be them pulling information from my feed. This allows me—when it works—to share stuff with people instead of potentially sending spam. Not all communication is a digital postcard. Social networks allowed a new form of communication. I enjoyed OG facebook until the first big privacy scandal. It was a (mostly) good thing and it was very accessible even then. I‘ve never got such a large part of my tribe on a pull service since then. Sure we all have messengers and groups and what not… but it is not the same. I dream of self-hosting something from the fediverse but we‘re not exactly young anymore and I doubt my tribe will assemble.

Ein absoluter Rückschritt. Beim Elterngeld geht es sehr stark um Gleichstellung beider Elternteile, so dass eben der Verdienst des einzelnen Elternteils nicht ausschlaggebend ist bei der Entscheidung, wer die Pause macht, um sich um das Kind zu kümmern. Stattdessen könnte man sicher Geld sparen indem man das Ehegattensplitting endlich abschafft.

Wir haben mal jahrelang eine Flasche Apfelsaft mit einem wunderschönen Schwebschimmel namens Lucy in der Fachschaft gepflegt. Eines Tages kam jemand und hat die Flasche geschüttelt, dann war Lucy nur noch ein scheusslicher Klumpen, den wir dann doch entsorgt haben. Das war noch in den 90ern.

Letztens habe ich ein Glas selbstgemachte Marmelade entsorgt, dass 2015 als Datum draufstehen hatte. Habe mich nicht mehr getraut es aufzumachen.

I have already written more comments here than I ever did on reddit. I want lemmy to succeed and it needs even us lurkers to do that. It ain't much--but I am commenting ;)

It is too late when they "try" because by that time all your friends will be using GoogleTalk because it was shiny and easy to use. And then you had to add your GoogleTalk account to your own jabber client because for some reason you could never really talk to people on their google talk accounts from your jabber.org account. And then google added some weird stuff to the protocol and you couldn't connect to your talk account from your jabber client anymore. So you began using the Google Talk web client and told your remaining friends on jabber.org that they too should come use GoogleTalk because ... and then Google officially defederates and those few people left talking to each other on jabber are finally alone. And then a few years later google announces it shuts down googletalk because they can. And xmpp is so dead that the fediverse invented a new chat called Matrix because jabber is burned beyond recognition.

If not for BaconReader (the only client that was on iOS and Android when I looked) I would never have been on reddit at all. Right now writing this via wefwef. On my Android phone I am testing Liftoff. I would have been willing to pay for a subscription if reddit hadn‘t behaved like they did.

I stopped using reddit with the blackout and I can‘t say I miss it much. Especially not when my favorite subreddit equivalents are popping up everywhere.

I am a software dev. Me and everyone in my team are still fully remote. The team-lead has been backing this. Most team members would have very long commutes >1h per direction. There has been some pressure from middle management to spend time at the office. Not all teams are able to work fully remote and there is a sense those teams might envy the remote teams. But so far the software teams have been able to stay remote.

My partner is also fully remote (also a tech related job) and will remain so. Among friends and acquaintances a lot of people have returned to some office time even the other devs.

I do not think I will ever be full-time at an office again. I could imagine a job where if it wasn‘t more than 30 minutes (by bike or public transport) away I might go into the office once a week. More than that: please no.

I do have a very nice office at home. Not everyone does.

there were some really decent TTS mods when I Last used TTS. in any case I highly recommend finding someone to teach you the game if you don’t know it already. I have more than once encountered people saying they didn’t enjoy the game only to change tune after getting a teacher. It is not even that the rulebooks are bad. It is just a lot of moving parts.

Over several iterations the Spirit Island app became good enough. However, as much as I love the game, it is immensely difficult to play in digital. Even when on my large monitor, I cannot show everything at the same time and I need to switch between maps and cards and I find it makes for much added difficulty. I have stopped playing the digital version. I have not played Scythe enough to be able to say anything about that app.

FeedBro kannte ich noch gar nicht :) Das ist ja mal nett. Schade, dass Firefox Plugins nur sehr beschränkt auf mobilen Android Geräten funktionieren (und auf iOS gar nicht zumindest soweit ich das herausfinden konnte--würde mich wahnsinnig über eine Korrektur freuen)

Apfelessig mit etwas Spüli drin

Und selbst wo nicht geleugnet wird, ist man schnell bei

• "Aber mein Verhalten ändern will ich nicht." oder
• "Ich bin so alt das betrifft mich nicht mehr" oder
• Tiraden, wenn irgendwas teurer wird wie Benzin, Energie oder Parkplätze in der Stadt

Da hilft auch nicht wenn man immer mal wieder sagt, dass ein Tempolimit schon okay wäre.

Mein Favorit ist immer noch "Also ich bin früher zu Fuss zur Schule gelaufen und hab die Milch in einer Glassflasche vom Bauern nebenan geholt. Und deswegen hab ich mit all dem nix zu tun" --sitzt dabei am Steuer seines SUV auf dem Weg in sein unsaniertes Haus aus den 70ern um dann von der Couch aus die nächste Flugreise zu planen, während Frau das argentinische Steak für das Abendessen in die Pfanne haut. Nebenbei unterschreibt man noch schnell so ein NIMBY Bürgerbegehren gegen das Windrad im Nachbarort und überlegt sich ob man vielleicht doch auf eine Ölheizung umstellen sollte--das mit Peak Oil war ja scheinbar nix, gibts ja immer noch die Plörre.
