So tired of this uninformed bashing honestly.
But while we’re at it: There are some coal-powered trains still in service in Germany, though mostly as attractions. Example: https://www.hsb-wr.de/

Slowly and with lots of unplanned breaks in between.
I’ve never understood why people think that anyways - if you’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with German bureaucracy, you would have lost that view instantly.
If you’re not joking:
Pretty sure that comment was in relation to Israel and the US, not Hamas and Egypt.
Par for the course for fascist Israel.
Who upvotes this trash? Zero comments but 10+ upvotes on a garbage opinion piece by one of the most biased sources there is?
I mean, come on, whatever side of the issue you’re on, pretending the PKK is just a workers party is ludicrous.
While I don’t agree with OP’s view that the world as a whole is anti-intellectual, I also wouldn’t assume that these people don’t exist at all. I’ve personally had interactions with people who thought less of me or others for having a higher level of education, and (at least overtly) not in the sense that they were jealous. It was more of a general antipathy against people who know things / enjoy to learn, because they saw them as arrogant etc.
But this is probably more an example of tribalism.
Here’s to hoping these buyers actually replace (some) car rides with them 🤞
While not community-developed per se, the RISC-V processor architecture is completely open, in contrast to all other architectures which are widely deployed, such as x86, AMD64 or ARM.
What an idiotic sentiment
Terms like ‘steak’, ‘grill’
I get the reasoning behind wanting a clear distinction between animal products and alternative products, but ‘grill’? In my understanding, a grill is the appliance you cook (or, in this case, grill) your food with. You can grill vegetables. So why would they ban ‘grill’?
For a little perspective:
Mastodon has an official way of migrating your account. It migrates your followers and accounts you follow, but doesn’t migrate your posts afaik.
Migrating posts (and comments in Lemmy’s case) would be iffy in itself imho and I’m also not sure whether that would even be possible since posts are synchronized to federated instances, where they would have to be updated too.
Yes. You can use the search function for that, just search for “community@instance”, so for example “worldnews@lemmy.world”.
Linking to communities from other instances works similarly, using a “!”: !worldnews@lemmy.world
You can also append this type of address to your instance url like so:
https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews@lemmy.world
As long as another instance is not explicitly defederated (blocked) from yours, you can visit any community from any instance this way.
Can we not post YouTube links and other (video/audio) commentaries in news communities?
Firstly: I was partially wrong about what gets cached, see my original comment.
There is an open pull request which is meant to give some options regarding media serving. Right now it’s only a rough sketch though and does not implement a lot functionality.
I was wrong about what gets cached: media that is hosted directly on remote instances is not cached, while media from outside sources (imgur etc.) is cached and served from that cache.
So, from a small instance’s point of view, the best case scenario would be if everyone used Lemmy’s own media hosting exclusively. But that would, of course, greatly increase the storage requirements of larger instances.
I updated my comment as I was partially wrong about what gets cached.
That would be great to know, any chance you remember where you read that?
The obvious way would be to just not cache content locally and always link to the source instance. While this would concentrate the strain immensely, it would also greatly decrease the storage space used by all other instances.
There might also be other viable alternatives such as using a CDN and having it selectively cache content which is requested often etc.
~~As of now, Lemmy does not support either, though. ~~
Edit: I want to clarify that I was partially wrong - Lemmy only locally caches content which is hosted on outside sites. It does (should?) not cache content that was directly uploaded to a Lemmy instance and just embeds the source media.
Right now you can only disable caching of nsfw content by disabling NSFW for the instance, but of course this has nothing to do with “soft” rules that are only written out in text.
Imo the best solution would be to allow admins to have more granular control over caching, e.g. disabling caching for specific instances / communities or whitelisting. And we need an option to disable caching altogether.
Great to hear! ArXiv is such an important resource if you’re in anything IT-related
