Trees make wind because whenever there was wind, they moved.

I’m not using dual boot anymore, but when I did, I always selected the partition from BIOS, which was totally fine for me. Are there arguments against it?

Well, maybe it’s because you may die if you accidentally touched touched the prongs? The purpose of female plugs is among other reasons to prevent accidentally touching them.

I don’t want to botch your plans but you gotta keep in mind that the educational systems in the EU and US are very different. Being a RN might not mean a lot abroad. I Germany there is however a lack of nurses and programs to recruit internationally. Maybe the situation is similar in other EU countries.

Where ever you are planing to go: Compare salaries cost of living, and what is publicly funded and what not. I think many people are turned off from moving because salaries are lower…

Worst bleaching yet

Probably the best shitpost I’ve seen in a while.

Mine runs very smooth. I guess it’s a matter of hardware or Ressource allocation?

I have a fujitsu thin client with a 4 core Celeron CPU and 8gb RAM. Nextcloud and Maria DB run in separate containers in proxmox.

I am the only user. I have only office, face recognition and maps installed. Other than that I use calender, contact and Foto sync.

Ye

My guess is that the majority doesn’t know what web apps are. Most people I know either have an app for that or consider a function not worthwhile or necessary.

No I wouldn’t.

I think that humans are, evolutionary, omnivores but with vegetarian food outweighting meat. Dairy came in later with the ability to domesticate animals and turning formerly non digestible food (grass) into milk and hence increasing the availability of food resources.

I would like to have a vegetarian diet for the most part and reduce meat intake to maybe twice a week. I prefer unprocessed meat (steak or chicken beast). But I was not able to find the muse to change my diet.

This is not driven by moral concerns. Eat or be eaten is something I, as a human somewhere at the top of the food chain, can live with. I just feel like meat is not as scarce as it should be and many people have lost the connection between meat consumption and the animal where the meat comes from.

I am actually several bots sharing a single account!

I agree that the basic functions are similar, comping one particular instance of lemmy with reddit, but the fediverse, at least in my opinion, adds to the complexity. And when it comes to complexity, you have to keep in mind that there are business models out there focused on reducing the complexity of much more basic needs such as preparing a meal.

What if the instance I have registered with doesn’t provide a particular content I crave? If a new account was required to get the content I’m liking for, it may be a deal breaker. This problem is solved elegantly by federation. But if I browse all to search for that particular sub(?) which one ist the right one?

There is (at least for a newcommer) so much choice (compared to reddit) which looks very similar at first glance. Choosing a sub or an instance is not complicated, but in it’s nature complex, and the ability and willingness to handle that complexity may be major turn off for many newcomers.

I saw someone post that the competition between subs on different instances would drive quality, but that is not necessarily the case, when the metric I use is the number of followers in a sub. In the end, this thought of a free market will either result in a monopoly, one sub on one instance being preferred due to the amount of content and hence the visibility, or stagnation because none of the subs will provide the necessary quality to attract the masses.

Being new to Mastodon and Lemmy I personally struggle to figure things out. Just finding a brief summary on how Lemmy works in contrast to reddit has, so far, yielded no helpful results. While I think for me this is just a matter of sticking with the services I can imagine that a lot of people would check in, struggle and check out again.

The, let’s call it infrastructure, of Lemmy and the way registration works due to the fediverse is quite different to what most people are used to.
