overview for rbn

I have to admit, that's a pretty good name for it. by rbn in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

Nah. Also in Germany styrofoam is used for take away by some places. But it really sucks from my perspective. If you put really hot stuff in it (like fries straight from the fryer) it may melt and your fries have plastic shit attached to them and, since it doesn't allow condensate to exit the crispy food will turn soggy really fast. Carton is so much better from every perspective.

Luckily, legislation in the EU is trying to reduce single use plastics.

Should Lemmy consider potentially adding a QR code feature for user profiles, similar to what Mastodon has introduced? by rbn in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] rbn@sopuli.xyz 76 points 2 months ago

From my perspective Lemmy by far isn't as user-centric as Mastodon. In Mastodon you mainly follow people whereas in Lemmy you subscribe to communities.

Not sure if it's adequate to list Tesla next to the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq as if they were equally important for the economic situation of the country. Tesla historically skyrocketed and plummeted several times. It's more a meme stock IMHO than a representative indicator of stability.

Fake vegans (sopuli.xyz)

Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from !vegan@lemmy.world for being fake vegans.

From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.

PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don't want to insult anyone here being a 'bastard'. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

DHL bragging about time travel (sopuli.xyz)

Recently, I noticed that no matter which delivery I'm tracking and no matter which status the package is currently in, DHL always claims the estimated delivery date to be yesterday.

This package was dropped at the DHL office on 23rd. When I checked right afterwards, the expected delivery was declared as 22nd. If I'm checking today (24th), it's now scheduled for the 23rd.

Personally, I guess that you learn more the more issues you have. MacOS is a more closed down ecosystem compared to Windows, malware is less popular and as hardware comes usually bundled with the OS, you shouldn't encounter as many driver or hardware issues in general.

As a kid I had so much trouble with incompatible software, viruses, adware, drivers, broken hardware etc. And as I had noone to ask, it tought me a lot about the fundamentals of IT and how to research such issues myself.

Spoiler functionality not working? (sopuli.xyz)

submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by rbn@sopuli.xyz to c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Hi all,

When I create a new post or comment there are buttons for different formatting options (bold, italic, hyperlink, ...) right above the on-screen keyboard. One of the buttons is a little circle with an exclamation mark that is called spoiler.

If I click on it, it adds three colons followed by 'spoiler spoiler' and then at the end again three colons. But after I publish the post or comment, I don't see any effect or special formatting of my text. It's just the text and that non-functional tags.

Is that a bug or is that how it's meant to work?

Nintendo Patent Approved in August Could Be What It Uses Against Palworld by rbn in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[-] rbn@sopuli.xyz 71 points 9 months ago

How the hell can one have patent of 'catching a creature through aiming' or even more crazy to me 'riding a creature' in games? Both concepts exist in so many games and even in real life. I mean did Nintendo never hear of horses?

I really like how respectful canvas is compared to place. At least so far people mainly tried to draw around other even integrated other people's work like the rainbow mortar that changed the font color on its way but didn't overwrite it.

I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen. by rbn in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] rbn@sopuli.xyz 109 points 1 year ago

If you consider only the RAM on the developers' PCs maybe. If you count in thousands of customer PCs then optimizing the code outperforms hardware upgrades pretty fast. If because of a new Windows feature millions have to buy new hardware that's pretty desastrous from a sustainability point of view.

Manifest V2 phase-out begins by rbn in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] rbn@sopuli.xyz 82 points 1 year ago

As far as I know there is no plan to phase out Manifest V2 at Mozilla. As long as V2 and V3 are active in parallel it shouldn't have a negative Impact on adblockers etc.

Altersdiskriminierung beim Wahl-O-Mat? Politisch neutral? (www.bpb.de)

submitted 1 year ago by rbn@sopuli.xyz to c/dach@feddit.de

11 comments fedilink

Hallo zusammen,

als ich eben auf der Seite der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung unterwegs war, bin ich auf die verlinkte Stellenanzeige gestoßen. Das gesuchte Profil fand ich dabei ziemlich verwunderlich:

Momentan suchen wir junge Menschen, die zu den Landtagswahl in Thüringen oder Brandenburg wahlberechtigt sind, am Wahltag nicht älter als 26 Jahre sind und Lust haben in einem dreitägigen Workshop die Thesen für den Wahl-O-Mat zur entwickeln.

Der Wahl-O-Mat ist aus meiner Erfahrung im Bekanntenkreis ein wichtiges Instrument zum Treffen einer Wahlentscheidung. Wenn in der Redaktion dieses öffentlichen Tools jetzt vornehmlich junge Leute sitzen, führt dies nicht automatisch zu einem gewissen Bias? Wäre es nicht wichtig, bei einem Tool, das von verschiedensten Altersgruppen genutzt wird, auch Perspektiven aus allen Teilen der Gesellschaft einfließen zu lassen? Bei U26 sind Themen wie Bildung, Klimawandel usw. sicher näher am eigenen Leben als bspw. Rente, Barrierefreiheit oder Immobilienthemen. Werden dann nicht schon unbewusst entsprechende Schwerpunkte auf die eigenen Themenbereiche gesetzt?

Ich bin selbst noch recht jung und würde mich auch politisch als ziemlich links einstufen. Eine überproportional junge Redaktion arbeitet also höchstwahrscheinlich zu meinen Gunsten. So wirklich demokratisch erscheint mir das aber ehrlich gesagt nicht.

Und selbst abgesehen von demokratischen Bedenken, finde ich das auch in Bezug auf das allgemeine Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (Altersdiskriminierung) schwierig.

Wie sehr ihr das? Kennt jemand Hintergründe oder war sogar schon mal in der Redaktion dabei?

What would happen to Lemmy if lemmy.world or lemmy.ml ran out of funds to continue hosting and decided to shut down their services? by rbn in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] rbn@sopuli.xyz 77 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Unlike others, I'd expect a signicifant decline of posts as not only many users but also loads of communities would be lost. That's why from my perspective users and communities should be evenly distributed across instances.

On top of that, there should be a feature to move entire accounts or communities to other instances. That way a community including all its members could just be migrated before a major shutdown.

Similarly, I think it would be a huge disturbance for the email system and possibly the entire internet world-wide if Gmail went down next month even though there are in theory plenty of alternative providers. Or supermarkets. If the IT of Walmart, Visa/MasterCard, Amazon AWS, Microsoft etc. have an outage it always has huge impact.

Lemmy as a whole isn't that big and far from being critical infrastructure but we all want it to grow we should bear in mind that huge central services are always more risky than many small services.
