This is a very good question and I would like to see a tradesman respond.

It‘s a pretty good metaphor I‘d say and less bland than calling them plug and socket.

Cities like Berlin need to drastically decrease available parking and invest tons in public transport and bicycle infrastructure. The status quo feels like living in a 19th century industrial town, it’s disgusting.

Zigbee devices can still be crap if you have the choice between a proprietary app that phones home and maintaining home assistant as a part-time job

I’m so nervous reading this

Listen to me, you will not use that old wiry thing anymore once you have an oxo peeler. They have a rubberized grip that’s actually hand-sized and I’ve been loving potato peeling with it.

Commute is part of working hours (with a reasonable limit)

Not having appropriate tools to detect and mod auto-generated or repetitive content submitted by companies trying to influence public opinion.

Asking for upvotes in the title, e.g. “upvote if you think…”

Sad but true. Still, I think it’s important that this is well known.

Remember that messages are not private and can be read by admins! This is an important flaw of ActivityPub!

I don’t think it’s that comfortable or enjoyable to be honest, but yes, I want to know.

I wash fruit by submerging them for a couple of minutes in water and vinegar. Then I pat them dry and store them in the fridge in zip bags that I fill with CO2 from a soda maker.

It’s the same story as with Mastodon as both are based on ActivityPub. Here is a thread where to people from Google discuss how Google is able to index federated content. I would be curious about what a good solution to the duplicated content would look like. Google would probably want to direct you to a lemmy instance that has good performance but you would really like to see the same content in your personal Lemmy instance’s web ui. Maybe there could be a browser extension that redirects you from other instances back to your home one?
