- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 17 hours ago:
I use different email accounts on different providers for different purposes. Most purposes, gmail or outlook.com, both of which I’m sure if they do go away, this will be announced well in advance.
- Comment on Something I do to help integrate new mastodonians. 1 day ago:
I follow both, but a lot more people/organizations than hashtags.
- Comment on Do the ultra-rich consume popular media? 1 day ago:
Bill Gates has a list of favorite books. Ronald Reagan watched Back to the Future.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 1 day ago:
I found that on old forums I did get to know the people regularly posting on them quite well over time (and they got to know me). On reddit and lemmy not so much, or do you have any idea about anything I’ve posted before (because I don’t know anything about you).
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 1 day ago:
The main thing I would like to know is why so many people nowadays want a microblog platform, whether it is X or Bluesky or Mastodon, and why community-based platforms like Lemmy are getting relatively little attention in comparison.
Is it just that these people weren’t seriously online before the rise of microblogs? They didn’t start out with phpBB-style forums, so don’t miss their existence and think that individuals having followers is the normal state of the Internet? I’m genuinely not super sure what’s going on.
- Comment on The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’ 2 days ago:
Wait, what? Which parts of this are satire now? I read the Onion piece that Global Tetrahedron was purchasing InfoWars, but this is a Guardian story saying The Onion is purchasing it? I’m a bit confused.

Can be either, neither is technically impossible. As another comment said, you can try for yourself what still works when your phone isn’t connected to the Internet.

People age. You don’t look the same as in 2010 either, I know that without having any idea what you look like.

Oppression of young people is the only one that seems to get worse over time
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 3 weeks ago:
Neither of those statements is universally true. It is a tendency, but not a universal rule.
Mobile internet is newer, less essential to many people, and I think mostly more costly to operate for the ISP per amount of data transferred, so this is why it tends to be the case. But there are unlimited mobile plans and limited home plans too in the world.

Why did you, why would you, ever have work email and Teams on your phone in the first place?

Hi, while the server seems to be up again, I keep getting logged out after a few minutes after logging in every time. I hope at least this comment gets sent correctly and somebody reads it.

No, there are no instances whose communities I refuse to participate on. I have never blocked a community, user, or instance here.
- Comment on How do decide what language you speak living on a countries border. 1 month ago:
Depends heavily on which border, I think. I live in eastern Austria and don’t know any Czech, Slovak or Hungarian despite those countries being within an hour’s drive of where I live. For the most part I expect people in Austria to speak German, I don’t expect people even in border villages of Czechia, Slovakia or Hungary to speak German; if they do, that is a nice surprise.
Some years ago, in a border village in one of these countries, a child spoke to me in the local language; I tried speaking in German and English, but the child didn’t understand either, I could barely say “I don’t speak (your language)” in that language. Eventually I figured out he was trying to ask me how old I was, and I could show that on my fingers…

They have a Mastodon account, which is why I know about them, you might want to follow that.
