  You think the enshittification will stop at the extra features you dont use?

  gift cards yes, they bind your friend where to buy from + they expire
  But i think cash can be a well made gift if you make the cash in a nice letter or an origami
  But when anyone ends up giving 5€ to each other than it evens out and its useless

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  At least here (germany) its lobbyism and stability
  the only way that fossils can compete to “basically free energy after setup” is that there is a law or something that raises the prices of renewables to that of fossils so that fossils can compete
  also coal gets taxmoney to make it cheaper

  fossil energy plants also cant like be put on or off at any time. They often need a day on start or something so if one turns them off they are off for a while.
  so they are used as a “baseline” while renewables can be put on or down depending on need (or run extra low to increase energy prices but psssss as they are not allowed to do so)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Medal of honor on the PS1⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  never managed to play it
  i found a PC CD in a box n the street and wanted to play it
  While waiting at school to go home i managed to go on a PC and read about some map because i wanted to make myself familiar with it

  But somehow later the install did somehow not work ;.;
  Still fond of the knowledge i gained

  so still good memories even without playing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨guys what the heck theyre putting micro chips in the cheese and using blockchains to track the micro chips⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  QR codes are just symbols in a camera readible way and barcodes numbers in a camara readible way.
  A storage medium for 0´s & 1´s like a USB stick or a disc but way less storage.

  They dont add any security, heck when you would have looked at barcodes you would likely have realised that the same product uses the same code (and not each one being unique)

  Their use cases are cashiers dont have to manually find/type each product into their terminal but have a scanable ID & QR Codes are mostly to open websites as users without having to type a potentionally long URL.
  In booth cases they remove the human error.

  • he was ~4 years old
  • i actually dont know how often, but i would guess as often as we others too. from what i understood he actually liked it so often enough
  • a few weeks or months (was 5 at the time so its mostly something i heard from older siblings & mother)
  • 21 i think
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty Ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As little kids we got like no genderbased education from our parents. When we moved our grandmother got a lot more control and dumped blue boyish stuff on my brother and forbid the girly things. Has never worn a dress since and now is still not willing to wear one

  (it could be that us older sisters influenced that he wants to wear dresses too)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About You⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suggest installing something like e/os which is phone without google and tracking. You somehow have to make sure that the hardware itself does not communicate outside but at least with a secure OS you are introducing the security issues by installing WhatsApp for work
  I know that e/os is based on another degoogled os but i forgot the name

  And you can put it on an up to ~8 year old phone so its good for the environment too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battle of the noobs: CasaOS X Yunohost X TrueNAS Scale⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  had to look it up, seems like it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battle of the noobs: CasaOS X Yunohost X TrueNAS Scale⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  dont know Yunohost

  CasaOS is not an operating system and more like a GUI for Docker with access to the terminal via said GUI (at least thats how i used it)
  I personally think thats a very good option if you simply want to use an old PC to host stuff and test around but its limited in its scope so if you want things like RAID you need other or additional solutions

  TrueNAS is an operating system Might be overkill for a newbie and i think it was ressource intensive but offers a lot of features in return like RAID

  Cant really say more because i did not visit the websites recently

  onlyoffice.com/…/onlyoffice-docs-8-3-released
  But closed source i think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have tested power point & word of only office. Its nicer to use than what libre office offers, has more effects than word but the thing thats missing is moving objects around.

  I think its a solid replacement for word, not entirely feature complete but in exchange some nice features.

  It has pricing whick can be an instant no but i think the pricing is fair for what is offered (especcially when compared to word)

  but i think some program like calc/excel is missing so you have to get another program!
  but i think what other libre programs offer there is nice so no real problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is excited about money!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still get the value cards when buying games to make them “worth a walk”. But when i have leftover card money i try to spend it on games where friends invite me or my wishlist.
  Then play them at least for 20 minutes so i dont have a lot of unplayed games

  thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  After reading the article i think you might be wrong with this one.

  From what i got now is that there are 3 layers

  First is storage which can be completly or is decentralised

  Then backend/server/application layer which can be bsky or whatever ticktok alternative gets made which is not decentralised

  and then user layer/view which depends on the application

  What i want to say is that the relay can be exchanged through something else

  So pro atProto is:

  • data seems to be actually decentralised
  • applications sharing the data
  • everyone gets the data

  And pro ActivityPub is:

  • more alternatives of the same application/server
  • way better control over data (federation & defederation)
  • servers interact with each other nativly (atPr seems to let the servers only interact with data)
  • more efficient (servers can update clients, in case of at least bsky clients have to ask servers)

  pro ActivityPub? (unsure about the technical details)

  • moderation? As in shared lists
  • able to host by individuals? As in i dont need an compute intensive relay
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know all you guys comment about fediverse(activityPub) is not bsky(atprotocol) but can we enjoy this stupid quote for a moment?

  However, if the internet is functioning properly and you have a computer, an internet connection, and an IP address you can host a document on the web.

  That statement is so redundant.
  “internet functioning properly” = “an internet connection”
  and you cant have an internet connection without an ip adress. On Lan you may have the option to let the device decide BUT it still needs one!

  I dont think the entire article is bad or something but let me have my nitpickings.

  • its too long, and with that i mean half the thing is 3 concepts that could have been explained shorter
  • too many fancy words (i am not a native & my reading comprehension gets worse at all those extravagant marketing words, so thats my error)
  • not including the one picture of the protocoll/network topology. I needed to keep that in my brain to not get confused Masto Post with Topology
  • that one paragraph at the post start but can happen to anyone so its simply hilarious

  does not matter to me if the actual fine is lower when in the end he pays a higher price. (but big numbers are nice so: go europe)
