10/10, Would ride to the 1990 World Cup with.

That’s definitely the way to do it.

40€
It was a poker tournament with friends, 10€ buy-in.
I got drunk and bought in another 3 times, then lost it again from making dumb drunk bets.

I never gamble with serious money cause I know how it would end. I’m susceptible to addictions.

Hot!

I know Reddit has private subs

They’re not actually private. They’re just hidden from other users, Reddit itself can see everything posted there, and you have no control over who they share the data with.
On the Fediverse, nothing can be private. That’s just not how the software works.

For private communication, you can use an anonymous encrypted messenger like Threema.

Yes, if you’re a sociopath.
Covid, Social Media and Late Stage Capitalism have turned many people into sociopaths.

Germans tried to make up for inventing the ICE car and went on to develop the ICE train.
But unfortunately, that one tends to break down when the weather’s too hot.

What a devious plan of the EU, funding terrorist infrastructure in Gaza!
Like a (terrorist) hospital and a (terrorist) desalination plant.

For water consumption and CO2, avoid beef, milk and cheese. Chicken and eggs are no issue, they cause less harm in that regard than many plant products (like almonds).

No, we absolutely still do dab poop at the edges of our territories.
On a small scale (private property) quite literally, in regions that don’t have internal plumbing.
And metaphorically, with countries preferably building landfills and polluting industry in border regions.

Still, your showerthought says “a subset of primates are doing primate things”.

Humans ARE primates.

Wait, I thought in a free economy buyer and seller agree on a price and then the sale takes place?
If Germany was not paying enough, why are pharma companies handing over the drugs?
And wouldn’t the state interfering in that be Socialism?

This isn’t like a phone OS where they add ressource-draining new features every 6 months.
If your computer can run the OS at installation, it’ll be able to run it for a long time.
One good reason not to use Arch is if you have a limited internet connection.
Updates are often 1 GB or more per week, depending on what you have installed.
So if that’s an issue, Debian is the better choice.

By default, lemmy shows you whatever’s posted in any community yours is federated with, with a slight bias for posts that get upvotes.
Everything else is up to you. Personally, I like sorting by new comments instead.

How do you format your feed to make sure you’re seeing what the other side is actually thinking?

What’s “the other side”? You’re on a predominantly leftist and nerdy platform, and even here we argue all day long.
If you want to see more conservative, pro-religious or right-wing content and try your hand at arguing with morons, this isn’t the best place. And in those conservative spaces, you’ll likely be banned as soon as you disagree.

I do want to be pedantic, and a simple sort doesn’t satisfy the definition of Recommender systems, which is what the word “algorithm” means in this context.
Yes, sorting is an algorithm in the mathematical or CS sense, but I’d argue that the word has split into two meanings by now.

Star Trek in general.
TNG was OK when it was on TV, and everything else on TV sucked more.
The fourth movie was actually funny and enjoyable.
But I don’t get the appeal that sparked such a huge fandom.

I know concensus 3 years ago was that the tank isn’t dead yet, if used correctly and mindful of its limitations on the modern battlefield.
I’m just curious: What’s the situation now? Are tanks even still used successfully in Ukraine, in 2026?

Until you install Firefox, that is.

Are you drunk?
