Elon Musk makes request to Reddit CEO to take down posts he didn't like in c/[email protected]

I have several niche interests which are discussed heavily on the respective subreddits but basically don't exist on Lemmy. I use Lemmy far more than Reddit by now but I cannot do without Reddit. I am a lot better at avoiding Meta services.

TL;DR: Don't enter the US, it's a fascist oligarchy with zero respect for human rights or privacy.

Which Shampoos From Europe Do You Use? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I love the own brands form Rossmann (German but starting to expand) and for shampoo specifically have mostly switched to solid bars. Gels only for travel 😉

It has been a few weeks since we started this, which European email provider have you switched to? in c/[email protected]

I created an account with Tuta. But I haven't found time for the actual migration

Danish super market who started marking EU products receives heat for selling American products with it in c/[email protected]

I also noticed it on Founder's beer. Clearly an American company. But apparently produced by a European company for the Danish market. They make amazing beers, but in sticking to Europeans ones for now.

Nitrokey, German alternative to Yubikey in c/[email protected]

I can see the Nitrokey 3C NFC on their website. Not as sleek as my Yubikey but should work

I mean we're not buying this stuff any longer but I'm surprised coke seems to be more expensive in the US than it is in Denmark?!?

That was quite the read! May you find the vehicle that suits you when the time comes. I hope to buy one more EV and for society to figure things out so I won't need another one after that. Managed until my 30s without a car and starting a family made it necessary. I hope that will end eventually.

Did you see the Hyundai Ioniq 6? Or the very new Kia EV4? They look very "modern" but then again I'd say ICE cars are constantly changing design too.

Well, our Kona is a weird crossover-y thing but otherwise literally identical to its ICE brothers.

Maybe Peugeot, Citroen and similar are what you are after? The new Peugeot 308 electric is pretty "boring" - it's not an amazing EV but better than what they had before

Putin is a violent, ruthless dictator supported by a corrupt oligarchy. While he might claim to borrow ideas from communism, 9/10 people I have heard supporting communism hate Putin.

And while I don't really like conservatives, I also think it's unfair to most conservatives to pretend Trump is "just conservative".

Fitness or cycling trackers? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I'm happy with my Garmin watch for now and simply know I am addicted to tracking stuff, especially all bike rides (including work commute).

But what if I wanted a European product? Or recommend something to friends? I like the watch form factor but ma open to mounting something on the bike again. The thing is these devices tend to come with some digital services, meaning some sort of American entity getting my data is almost a must it seems. I'm open to self-hosting a backend but I doubt my friends are 😅

Pixelfed behavior?! (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I just signed up to Pixelfed, also via tchncs and apart from obviously having few users something feels off. I notice that sometimes the "followers" count is not the same as what I see when clicking into the followers. And I find hashtags that supposedly have posts but I can't find any.

Now I'm wondering: is this something about eventual consistency due to federation? Is this due to blocking of instances? Is something broken? And if so is this on the app or server side?

Running latest app on Android Android 15.

Games that work with my hardware (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Is there a service or knowledge base somewhere that can help you find the highest rated games for your hardware?

Background: I don’t have much time for games and just installed Bazzite on a few years old ThinkPad. I would like to play some games on it but don’t know what I can expect to be playable. I see tons of “will it run on steam deck” info but honestly couldn’t even figure out where this computers performance lies compared to a steam deck. This should be easy. Just type in specs, maybe filter genre and say “sort by meta score” or “sort by steam rating”.

Clutter-free and cost-effective service subscriptions? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

What are your thoughts on finding a good level of subscriptions for online services, such as storage, photo backup, music streaming, video streaming?

Personal situation: I don't want a ton of subscriptions. I take lots of photos. I listen to music quite a bit. I live in a household that has Android, iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Linux, ... and a Synology NAS that is already filling up with old music and video stuff from before streaming, phone photo backups as well as the photos from the big camera (manually copied so far). I currently pay for two cloud storage thingies and have to free ones, 3/4 are full :P We also have Spotify Family and cut down to only (HBO) Max and public service for video plus sometimes getting something specific for a month or two.

Any experiences or other observations welcome as well!

Where to start? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I don’t spend much time on my desktop computer but if I do I tend to game a bit. OW II, CS, Helldivers, Tabletop Simulator mostly. And of course need Discord.

I am considering a minor upgrade to the hardware and would need a fresh install (currently Win 10). I’ve been out of the distro game for a while and currently only have one old thinkpad running Debian and an X1 Carbon gen7 I want to use for experimentating/ distro hopping.

I want a daily driver OS that can play games. I also edit photos and might to the odd “flash a CFW to an old phone” or similar light tasks. Where do I start?

I hear PopOS because “it just works” but also CachyOS because “performance, muh”.

I have experience with Ubuntu (first was 6.06) and Fedora mostly but have played around with a lot that came with at least a barebones UI (crunchbang anyone?). My life has changed so I have less time to nerd out with this than I used to. But I feel the itch to experiment now and maybe use Linux on my main desktop again after some years with that mentioned upgrade soon.
