Ok, I disagree.
It is similar to Bluesky, yes. They both got a lot of inspiration from Twitter (before Musk turned it to shit/X).
And I would say that the discussions are more shallow than on Lemmy. Even though Mastodon has a higher character limit than Twitter and many Mastodon instances effectively remove the character limit, it's still fundamentally a platform for shortform interactions. Infodumping is rarely seen, because you need to create a silly number of chained messages.
On the flipside, though, you get to know people. I do appreciate the time I spent on Mastodon, because of that. It's a very different perspective as not everything is about discussing cold hard facts, but rather also people's hobbies and struggles and whatnot.
Falls es durch den Artikel noch nicht durchgedrungen ist, das ist ein Bezug auf Putin, der seinen Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine auch als "militärische Spezialoperation" bezeichnet hat.
AI also doesn't mean that it has to send data to a backend. Your basis for accusing Mozilla of doing something questionable is that they put technologies to use which happen to also be used by data-harvesting companies. This is like saying they're evil, because they use programming languages or databases. It entirely depends on how these technologies are used.
Not sure what your problem with Discover is. It uses PackageKit under the hood, which hooks into APT (as well as other distros' package management).
If you want to, you can disable Flatpak and Snap support in Discover's settings and then it is effectively just an APT frontend.
Also ich habe den Post nicht so interpretiert, dass es ein Problem mit E-Bike-Fahrenden gibt. Nur dass es eben amüsant ist, dass es bergauf ähnlich leicht geht wie bergab. Was ja an sich sogar super ist.
Krass, 2 Jahre hier und dann soll man innerhalb von 7 Tagen alles fallen lassen. Das macht ja wirklich gar keinen Sinn, weder moralisch noch zwischenmenschlich, noch irgendwie aus einer egoistisch-wirtschaftlichen Sicht.
Verstehe aber auch so gar nicht, warum die Behörde zwei Jahre braucht, um festzustellen, dass Kolumbien no bueno ist.
Berg hochradeln ist einfach ätzend. Ohne gute Gangschaltung braucht es extrem viel Kraft. Mit guter Gangschaltung strampelst du dich trotzdem noch zu Tode, weil du sonst zu langsam wirst und das Gleichgewicht verlierst.
Berg runterradeln ist hingegen sehr angenehm, weil du i.d.R. gar nicht treten musst.
Ah, neat. My phone speakers are far too silent, so I'll have to fiddle with this in the other direction.
The political renaming occurred in context of France's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq.
Jeez, I understand that self-reflection isn't the strong suit of these people, but you'd think at some point they would consider whether branding the bombing of a country as "freedom" really makes sense.
Real screenshot from (crappy) personal project...
I mean, the guy has some amount of followers. Maybe he could have those sign a petition to try to convince the president of the United States to limit oil prices by law.
