Probably someone outside of Europe, that was Commodores main market. Especially the Amiga generation.

Agreed.

So even on Lemmy people defend Tesla because “why not protest against coal” and “but this is EV”. Sigh.

People DO protest against coal, and to a much larger extent.

Tesla is a shitty scam company which deserves nothing but bankruptcy. Their factory is destroying huge areas in Brandenburg and uses massive amounts of water in an area where there is severe drought. Brandenburg even has deserts forming for those who are unaware. Even if you would accept Tesla, the factory is placed in the worst place possible.

Apart from the environmental aspects, the company is famous for being atrocious regarding workers rights. That crypto bro scam firm should just get the hell out.

Preserving German culture and worrying about immigration - you had an AfD or nazi kid in your home.

No, in our calendar system there was year 1 BC followed by year 1 AD. So no zero. It’s just how they set it up, they’re human made ideas anyway. Many countries do not even use this system, for example it is currently year 2567 in Thailand and year 113 in North Korea.

So it didn’t quite work out how the fascist sharia rape gang of Hamas wanted, who would have thought?! Now let’s hope for a quick end to all violence in the entire region and that the fuckhead Netanyahu gets what he deserves as well.

I see. Thanks for explaining. So which do you like the most so far?

What’s the point? Aren’t most of them connected anyway? If not then the fragmentation is a real problem. I mean, who has the time or energy to click through dozens of websites which all serve the same or similar purpose?

Both Ericsson and Nokia have been huge players in the cellular networking market for many years, and still are. Nothing new. The only thing new is that they are getting even more contracts in the west since governments started boycotting Chinese companies (for good reason).

If not even the most psychotic nazi-wannabes want to be your friend, you know it’s bad. Suck it up Orban, you loser.

Those aren’t available to register anymore though, are they?

I don’t use any service that requires a phone number, which even does that anymore? I guess Facebook, Instagram, Twitter? That’s surely just to track you. It is very easy to spoof a mobile number, the regular old confirm security code per email works just as well. Or just do email register + 2fa with an authenticator app or passkey.

There are better ways to confirm someone is a human. If they would not just want to gather personal user data instead, which apparently is the case.

Why the fuck do they require my phone number to register? No thanks.

I have never heard of Primewire but there were a bunch of movie/tv show streaming websites about a decade ago with direct streaming (like movie2k/movie4k) but they got busted HARD and IIRC the people behind them got long prison sentences.

Just this week I read the authorities had confiscated cryptocurrency valued at around 2 billion (!) euros from one of them currently still in jail.

I’m trying to get back into using RSS but have noticed that all sites - for example tech news like The Verge - publish a shit ton of content daily nowadays.

How do you use these apps?

I added a few feeds and now have 300+ news every day that I need to sort through and 95% of them do not interest me. That was what was so great with Artifact, it did the sorting and learned my interests.

Are there separate curated feeds (similar to Artifact) to subscribe to or is it possible to filter by interest (keywords) in the RSS apps, like Netnewswire?

I don’t have time or the nerve scrolling through feeds with dozens or hundreds of posts a day, it’s a pretty awful user experience.

Some sites seem to have separate feeds for different themes but that’s also not very flexible.

For once a good app for news and articles appears, and within a year it is killed off because of “limited market opportunity.”

Urgh. I just HATE the modern internet.

But thanks for the alternatives list. Maybe something will catch on. Feeeed looks really cool.

Cola and red wine (Calimocho) is a pretty common drink, at least in Europe. It’s not as gross as it sounds.

Wow. If this isn’t a perfect example of the possible problems with federated networks I don’t know what is.

I’m still for it of course. But it has to be done right and this is far from that.

This is not my type of game but Nintendo is really on a streak with huge releases lately. Zelda, Mario Wonder, Metroid and so on.
