In German there is this kinda obscure phrase „Pferde vor der Apotheke kotzen sehen“, which translates to „seeing horses puke in front of the pharmacy“ used to denote something highly unlikely, because horses can’t puke and especially in front of a pharmacy where they could get something against their nausea.

I had a conversation with a friend about iPads lately related to the „just lacking the OS“. The newer iPads with M-chips have all the computing power an average user could need but it’s crippled by the mobile-ish OS, so all the computing power is for nothing basically. An iPad running MacOS (with some adjustments for the Touchscreen) would be awesome. But we concluded it won’t happen anytime soon, because then basically no one would buy MacBooks anymore

I live in Augsburg, Germany. We have „the king“. He just declared himself king of Augsburg about 30 years ago and everyone just went with it. He spends his days walking through the city looking after the wellbeing of his people. Here’s a video-portrait by the local newspaper for his 70th birthday (in German)

AFAIK the Dutch model so far (consumption and sale somewhat allowed, but no growing or importing) has created huge criminal organisations that also started to do a lot of other crimes (bc what’s there to lose if you’re going to jail anyway basically) and a big goal in designing the new German law was to not mess it up like the Netherlands have

Wasn’t there a study on cats that concluded something like „cats know when you call their name but just don’t care“?

You say you hear about protests and community action. They have to have been organized by someone. Is there a way for you to find out by whom? Then you could they to reach out to them

I know this a a joke but in case some people are actually curious: The manufacturer gives the capacity in Terabytes (= 1 Trillion Bytes) and the operating system probably shows it in Tebibytes (1024^4 Bytes ≈ 1.1 Trillion Bytes). So 2 Terabytes are two trillion bytes which is approximately 1.82 Tebibytes

As of November 8, coins like the "MOON" that r/CryptoCurrency used for tips, premium features, and even voting shares will be removed from users' Vaults. Noticing this, the value of most Reddit-based coins took a nearly straight drop on Tuesday after Reddit's announcements. MOON was trading just over $0.20 at 1 pm Eastern, shortly before the announcement in its subreddit. Shortly before 3 pm, MOON had dropped just below $0.02, a loss of more than 85 percent, with fellow Reddit currencies BRICK (r/FortNiteBR) and DONUT (r/EthTrader) seeing similarly precipitous plunges.
That is the most dystopian paragraph I’ve ever read, I think.

I think you can just sync the Obsidian Directory with any cloud service or syncthing and it should work fine.

Müssen? Nein. Aber es war die letzten Jahre schwer das zu vermeiden, da er sich als Philosoph für nen Experten auf absolut jedem Gebiet hält, egal ob Corona, Ukraine, Palästina, Männlichkeit im 21. Jahrhundert oder Elektroautos und viele Medien kaufen ihm das wohl ab, obwohl er konsequent mit Halbwissen und dämlichen Takes auffällt. Ganz gut beschrieben von Extra3

Fun fact: O.K. actually originated as the abbreviation for „oll korrect“ because people in the 1800s thought it was super funny to misspell things

I‘m not really informed on this. What is the reasoning to remove port forwarding?
I‘m not sure if this is the right place to ask this, please excuse if it’s not. As many people rn, I’m new to Lemmy and that’s my first venture into the Fediverse at all. Lemmy is sometimes regarded as an alternative to Reddit (hope this phrasing doesn’t offend anyone here, you know what I mean😅), like Mastodon is to Twitter. I’ve also heard about Kbin but tbh I haven’t looked into that at all so I have no idea what it is about. Also, I read in some comments, that they’re all interconnected the same way different Lemmy instances are. So you have people reading Lemmy content on Mastodon, people reading Kbin content on Lemmy etc. That’s where my confusion comes in: What’s the difference in these types of services then? Is there a reason why I would want create an account on a mastodon instance, if I have a Lemmy account already? (Other than the „I don’t like what the instance I’m currently registered at is doing, so I’m moving somewhere else“, but that could be another Lemmy instance ofc). What is the benefit of switching between/having multiple accounts on these types of platforms? Thank you!
