great book! the last third wasn’t my cup of tea though.

i mean, that’s a pretty niche case and maybe your underage kid shouldn’t be sending nudes via imessage anyways.

ah ja, is ein schönes fleckerl. wundert mich nicht, dass bei den temperaturen dort viele leute sind.

so weird to see my hometown on lemmy, haha. wo genau is das foto entstanden?

love orbit!

Is it just me or does the sliding animation not feel as smooth as the rest of the app? Feels like 60 fps instead of 120. I’m on iPhone 14 Pro.

+1 for language setting. more options are always good and right now the translation is really inconsistent, mixing languages and sometimes just being flat out wrong.

Für mich persönlich ist Veganismus kein Dogma. Ich will einfach meinen Beitrag zum Umwelt- und Tierschutz leisten, und verzichte daher so gut es geht auf tierische Produkte.

Wenn mich jemand fragt, erkläre ich meinen Zugang meistens mit einem Beispiel: Man bestellt im Urlaub beim Italiener eine Pizza und erwähnt nachdrücklich bitte den Käse wegzulassen bzw. wählt eine ohnehin vegane Sorte auf der Karte. Bekommt man nun trotzdem eine Pizza mit “echtem” Käse, könnte man sich entweder dazu entscheiden, diese zurückzuschicken, was höchstwahrscheinlich dazu führen würde, dass sie im Müll landet. Oder man ärgert sich zwar kurz, isst aber einfach seine Pizza, weil der Schaden ohnehin schon angerichtet wurde. Vorausgesetzt man weiß, dass die Pizza ansonsten entsorgt wird, finde ich es ethisch einfach deutlich vertretbarer sie wenigstens selber zu essen.

Es gibt bestimmt “leidenschaftlichere” VeganerInnen als mich, aber ich persönlich möchte auf einer ganz rationalen Ebene einfach keinen Nachfragefaktor für tierische Prdukte u. Industrien darstellen.

It’s almost like people are willing to spend money for a good cause, when they are not constantly being pressured and scammed into it.

man, I wish.

just wait for an hour you fucking freeloader, jeez. people nowadays have no patience smh my head. /s

Could we like, not immediately talk about monetisation 1 month after leaving reddit? If you want to support your instance host, you can ask for a way to donate.

I don’t even see a link on memmy. Tapping on the link icon in my feed just opens the post.

Literally saw a comment like that yesterday. Drives me up the wall. I’m in the process of accepting that the average Joe/Jane just doesn’t care about anything but their little bubble. I used to spend so much emotional energy on trying to convince people to stand up for something greater or to at least think more than 2 meters ahead, but now I’m just done. I’ll watch out for myself and the people close to me, everyone else can just evaporate for all I care.

don’t lose your head over this. lemmy, kbin, mastodon and apparently threads (the new twitter alternative by facebook/meta) are all part of the fediverse, which means they all follow a decentralised approach. mastodon and threads are microblogging platforms, while kbin and lemmy have a similar format to reddit. because they are all part of the fediverse, all these platforms communicate with each other and you can use kbin to subscribe to microblogs such as mastodon and have them appear in your feed. defederation basically means cutting the link between one server and another, so they can’t communicate anymore.

well, the good thing is, is that it’s way easier to just migrate to a different community than to a completely different platform like what happened with reddit.

thats a fucking unit of a hamster

i’ve got a solitary bee living in a flower pot on my balcony. apparently it belongs to this genus: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megachile

they build little burrows to protect their eggs for the winter and are completely harmless.

entropy would like to have a word with you. to my understanding, if we assume our current universe is an isolated system, sooner or later matter and/or energy is going to be perfectly spread out (aka disordered), preventing any interaction or structures from forming. combine that with the ever increasing expansion of the universe and sometime in the far future, everything basically just comes to a standstill, because nothing will be able to interact with anything. this is called the heat death of the universe. what happens afterwards, if anything, is uncertain, but according to our current knowledge we can’t assume that the nature of our universe is cyclical.
