Isn’t RCS for the most part using Google services and servers? I don’t know if that really is that much better.

To my knowledge, the original idea to have RCS be operated by the mobile providers is pretty much dead.

So basically discord finally got a usable search. I count that as a win.

That some messed up US thing i never understood. Here in germany you are anonymous by default when you win. at most it is published from what state the winner was.

That someone’s name and even address is published is so completely unimaginably absurd to me. makes no sense whatsoever.

Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate it.

To my knowledge are the lemmy.world guys from the netherlands. At least the 2 admins. And the FediHosting Foundation lemmy.world (and e.g. mastodon.world, etc) belongs to is in the Netherlands.

No idea about dessalines though. but i don’t think russia either.

What weird forum is that? It looks like 90% of all posts, including the linked one, is written by ChatGPT.

Can’t say I’m overly happy having this ai slop linked here.

I hate everything about this. Take your upvote and gtfo…

Lively? This looks like a place where STDs go to fight each other for dominance.

Thank you for your tireless work in keeping this place running and thus providing me with a steady supply of new content so I don’t have to resort to more drastic measures like reading a book or going outside.

I used it for a long time years ago and it is indeed very great. But its only maintainer stopped around 2021/2022 because he got a new job or something along that line. As far i see he partially returned later but is still looking for more contributors. so the future of the project is not really secure. e.g. see https://github.com/nomacs/nomacs/issues/987

So more eyes on Nomacs would be indeed good.

Not that unusual. e.g. TOR started as a governement project. it was invented in the U.S. Naval Research Lab.

Of course. The one and only that seems to work for me. Great.

Aren’t Mastodon instances maintained by volunteers in their spare time? I can’t imagine how they manage to continue moderating it once there are ten thousand or millions of users on it. At least the moderators on Twitter were paid. It was their job. I think people massively underestimate how much work this is.

What a colossal waste…

You make a very good point that i have not considered yet. Thank your for bringing this to attention.

I understand it. When I was quite young, my father was also convinced that beating was an educational method. It took him almost 30 years to apologize for it. In situations like this I tend to say “gtfo as fast as you can”, but of course that’s not always an option.

Stay strong, you still have your whole life ahead of you and it will get better.

Well that is beyond fucked up. here in germany you go to jail right away if you slap your child. Using the belt would be considered aggravated assault here and he would be gone for the next 2 years at least. It is completely insane that something like this could be legal.

As subtle as a brick through a window.

Oh, i had a very nice french neighbour at my old place. She was singing french chanson in a café i was a regular in. There was also a Franco-German friends’ association that met there from time to time.

Especially in southern Germany (but actually almost everywhere), French or French-speaking people are quite widely represented and very welcome!
