  I’ve seen them in the mountains or more wild areas multiple times, both in eastern and western Europe. You have to be outside during the night so most likely camping.

  Spain had smaller presence on Reddit as well. They tend to keep to other spanish speaking forums, often shared with Latin America.

  Basically because there are so many Spanish speakers in the world, spaniards don’t even bother to learn English or interact with the broader internet.

  Honestly, joining a community just for the type of content they have or what they filter is useless. Best approach for me is to have access to everything and then filter what you don’t like by yourself.

  Hasn’t been updated for a while unfortunately.

  I used it until recently thinking the same, but it just became too broken for me. I’m on thunder now and I got it to work exactly the way I used sync and everything seems to actually be working.

  I specifically remember looking up tables of who defederates from who and what instances allow NSFW or downvoting because this was an issue among some of the top instances back then.

  I ended up making 4 different accounts over 2 months until I landed on a server I’m happy with. That will never be acceptable to any normal user.

  Every time someone brings up these issues, people here downplay them like you are doing it right now and nothing is ever done about it.

  Same for me. It’s like going back to the dark ages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨heat your body, not your house -- using an infrared heat lamp⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apart from an electric blanket, in my experience nothing really works when your house is cold. Latest gadget I tried was a 700w infrared panel in the bathroom since these have been hyped recently. It’s… fine, but far from the confort traditional heating offers. Mostly you feel warm on the side that radiates the heat and cold all over any other side. Also it takes so long for it to get warm, I’m done by the time it’s useful. I thought 700w will be overpowered, but nah. Not even close.

  I’ve stopped believing in the heat the human not the house mantra. It just leads to perpetual uncomfortable state any time you’re transitioning from activity to activity, or you’re just freezing your butt off as you’re washing dishes or loading the washer or any other activity where your heart rate is not up.

  A better approach I think is to insulate the house then live in confort.

  No idea about privilege, but when I was struggling to find a job, that was a lesson I learned as well. Instead of applying only to 100% fit which is what I was doing, I started applying to the 50% and everything in between. This increased my chances of talking to someone at least, but also increased the amount of work I had to put in applying to everything. But just like in sales, after you get that first call, the chances of getting somewhere are much higher, so some things have to get flexible to make it happen.
