If anything, the Lemmy apps would look like Sync, because obviously Sync has existed way longer, even before Lemmy was even a thing. The more likely reason most of them look the same on Android, is because they’re following some (sometimes older) form of Material Design, the design standard for Android.

What? Lol. I’ve used Sync for almost 10 years now and have seen it evolve. How is it a fork of another app?

Even then, this is so unnecessarily uncomfortable.

You can see the text “Den Haag Centraal” in the back, I recognise that font and styling as what the Dutch railways company uses.

Yeah so much was clear, but the building that has the text “Den Haag Centraal” is the actual station. This picture is taken from the building opposite, which appears to contain several different things, so it’s not, like I thought, a ministry building.

I think it’s one of the ministries in the Netherlands.

Not even for a very long time. It simply won’t happen, ever. Unless we miraculously discover ways to travel at the speed of light or hibernate for a few centuries. Even then, we’d only be reaching the nearest solar system, which probably isn’t very interesting anyway.

Edit: heck, even at the speed of light this stuff is very unpractical. Sure, Proxima is doable, but finding something worth finding is a whole different story. Big chance we’d still have to travel hundreds, or thousands, if not millions of years at the speed of light to find something to live on, for example.

Perhaps it’s because I’m in Europe, but I’ve still never come across this issue. All AirBnb’s I’ve stayed in had very reasonable hosts.

I do this too. I hate using just x, because it’s so non-descriptive.

j is for a loop in a loop.

Competition is when things cannot be like your product

In Dutch we curse and insult with diseases. For example “kankerzooi” = “cancerous mess” and “tyfuslijer” = “typhoid sufferer”. That first one is a bit frowned upon, but using “kanker” is becoming more common. There’s an established word “kankeren” which means “to grumble”, though.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that this meme works very well for Dutch

Some more examples:

• Teringlijer = tuberculosis sufferer
• Pestpokken = something with the plague and pox
• Krijg de kolere = get cholera
• Zich de tyfus werken = literally “to work so hard you get typhoid” (wtf), but really just “to work very hard”

Funny one also is “kut” which means “vagina” and is used in the same way as cursing with “shit”. Also, something like “kanker” (cancer) can be used in a positive way to emphasize something, like “kankerlekker” meaning “extremely good tasting” (although still frowned upon by most people)

Actually, just read the Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_profanity

Didn’t they also get it to run on a pregnancy test?

Tell me your parents never read stories to you, without telling me your parents never read stories to you.

Wasn’t aware of this one, thanks!
