Yeah, Lemmy is more or less just a new way to do what Usenet has been doing for decades.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it for being a rolling release with quality control. On the one hand I don’t like its restrictive defaults but on the other hand I know enough to work with them and that’s given me a leaner system.

That’s exactly what Threads is. But nobody else wants to play with them.

This is so stupid. I love it!

Ah. Mist. Ergibt Sinn. Der Druck meine eigene Instanz zu erstellen wird immer größer.

We have no idea. We suspect Lykoi. When we got her from the shelter they said Rex. Our vet says “I don’t care what everyone else thinks, for me that’s a Peterbald.”

We’re staying with Lykoi because werewolf cats are the coolest.

Ich kaper mal den Faden.

Ich kann nichts von lemmit.online sehen, obwohl die Instanz an sich erreichbar ist. Konkret !cfs@lemmit.online und !covidlonghaulers@lemmit.online zeigen beide keine Pfosten auf feddit.de.

You can try it out. But apart from that everything runs on Valve time.

Kommerziell.

Honestly, by now I’ve come to hate games where you can’t figure out how to play them from the game itself. It seems like nowadays you can’t play without a whole community figuring out what’s currently the meta way to play.

Admins: “Du hast was?”

Hubi: “Das ganze Lases!”

It’s dependant on cookies. If whatever you checked that on deletes its cookies it can’t remember the “device”. The wording is all wrong but I guess they have to do that because plebs don’t know that this is running in a browser.

Heilige Scheiße

My counterpoint is that you have to use WhatsApp (I rather use Signal) because iMessage is Apple only. SMS and RCS are stupid. With Signal you can reach users of all devices. Having a messaging protocol that depends on the device used is stupid. And hopefully the EU can end the vendor lock in with messaging apps as well.

Don’t know in which ones, but if you play a song backwards you hear it say “Jesus loves you”.

Apparently lemmy even has the field newest_comment_time_necro.

You can see the exact post date in the nerd stuff. It’s 2020-10-25. For some reason it appeared in Hot on my instance. And it looks like it did for others as well.

Well, at least OP is finally getting some answers.

Wait, did I just reply to a three years old post?

German here.

The country doesn’t celebrate it, at least not like it’s done in the US. Depending on the state All Hallows Day or the day before is a holiday, but apart from churches not many people really “celebrate” them.

But some people like to use the day off to have a US-inspired Halloween party. And some children also dress up and go from door to door. But this varies from family to family. Some streets might be swarming with kids while the next street over nobody knows that anything is going on. So many houses aren’t even prepared to give out candies, they often scramble to get something to give out.

But about two weeks later there is the St Martin’s feast. Although that’s also dependend on the region I think overall it’s more common. It consists of several parts that vary from region to region. But in all regions children carry (usually self made) lanterns. Then they either march through the town while singing songs, ending at a big fire and usually a guy on a horse dressed like a Roman soldier, representing St Martin. Or they go from door to door in small groups, sing songs and get candy. Often it’s both on separate days of the week.

Yeah, that would be stupid.
