Yeah, Germany is quite backwards in this aspect.

What happens now? (in my ass)

There’s also IHateMoney as a self hosted service and MoneyBuster as an Android app to interact with IHateMoney.

Such a wasteful, broken system

That’s 90% of online shopping there. It’s hard to hear, but we as costumers are part of the problem. Stop buying so much shit online. Go to a brick and mortar shop. Touch it, feel it, try those pants.

Online shopping is a fucking waste and every day we have dozens of shipping companies coming to the city with their vans to drive through each street bringing small packages to every apartment. Polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic. Just because we are too lazy to go to a shop and buy it in person.

We probably don’t even need it. And yes, I know there’s not a shop next to me that sells X or Y. Do you know why? Because we’ve been killing small brick and mortar shops for 20 years with our online shopping. We created this problem and we have to fix it. Fuck the “broken, wasteful system” and support your local shop.

keep it that way until the Turd Reich is vote out of office.

No, please. Keep it forever. The USA was never and never will be a reliable ally. Good riddance. Forever.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Oh, I know nothing about tariffs taxing… so I guess you’re right. I was just thinking arithmetics (25%=1/4) but it seems I overstepped here 😅

A fifth would be 20%, if you want to block 25% then you block one fourth of the screen.

Did you ask them what does Linux mean?

I would also love an option to copy links present in the text of a post, currently I can only get the Lemmy link to the post itself.

I sometimes want to copy a link to save it on a note. Other times I want to share that link with someone. In other cases the link might contain trailing tracking text that I want to remove before opening the link.

In all of these cases it would be great to have the possibility to just copy a link, then I’ll take care of the rest.

The second best time to fix this was 4 years ago, when the Capitol was attacked to try to overturn a democratic election. But the USA has a big problem: nothing was done. A criminal staged a coup and failed. And nothing was done. He was allowed to go free, run for president and now he is in charge. The USA already failed years ago and now is just reaping what it allowed fascism to sow. Because nothing was ever done about it.

Or ll='ls -laFh' to have it just how I like it

That sounds interesting, do you have a source? I’d like to learn more.

I’ve read that in ancient Spanish the letter X had in some cases the sound that the letter J has in modern Spanish, therefore the spelling of some words changed accordingly: Don Quixote is Don Quijote in modern day Spanish.

Separate the fat. Make soap with it. Sell it to the rich.

Thank you, I didn’t know that. I know that record labels have been screwing artists for decades… but I didn’t know that Spotify was actually paying good money for the listens, it just doesn’t reach the artist.

I’m not saying that’s wrong, because I don’t have the information, but I have repeatedly read on different news articles that Spotify pays peanuts: way less than that to big artists. I will have to check for updated and reliable sources.

What’s with the clickbait title?

This is not news, it has been happening since Smart TVs started being a thing.

One of the most common TV OSs is AndroidTV / GoogleTV. Google is the biggest ad company in the world.

Very interesting graph. It clearly shows a reduced antibiotic consumption during the corona pandemic in most countries. Probably due to the use of facemasks reducing the number of situations requiring antibiotics.

Don’t look into the story behind “My Sharona” by The Knack.

I recently set up a small home server and started trying to self host stuff. I found it pretty hard to get started. People have been very helpful on this community and other public forums, but I’m afraid it’s often not enough. They give me advice in trying this or that, doing this and avoiding that… but I still don’t understand more than half of the concepts that they use. I consider myself tech literate above the average user: I recently switched to Linux (after years on MacOS, using the command line, and even building a couple of programs from source), I also installed a custom ROM on my phone. I feel comfortable learning and doing these things… but still felt very very lost when trying to self host a few services. At the moment I settled for a local-only network where I run Jellyfin, Navidrome and Syncthing on OpenMediaVault. I’m lost with what I’d need to do to access my server from outside my local network, and terrified of doing something wrong and leaving a hole open so any hacker can access my server. I’d like to do it some day, but I’d rather have a safe local network than screw and get my data stolen or deleted.

So, in my opinion, we would need good tutorials or a MOOC to explain the basics from scratch.
