Seems reasonalble? I don’t agree with everything, but he is not exactly wrong with his impression. And yes, Chinese restaurants in Germany suck 🤷

Reusing a platform by another company and putting a modified body and different brand on it isn’t exactly a new thing.

Following users is not even implemented in Lemmy?

And besides, isn’t the entire idea of a community on Lemmy to not depend on a single user?

So the answer imho is !europe@feddit.org 😅

Ok, and how does that scenario involve having to shoot on clearly marked local police forces?

Apparently it was the military police that started firing with blanks, but regardless of if it was a regular soldier or not, what training scenario were they doing that required them shooting on local police and doing that in a residential area? Civil war?

The article reads like the author doesn’t actually know what “ethanol” is 🙄

Declining demand for electric SUVs designed for and primarily sold in China and the US.

Yes and no. There is a lack of sufficient interconnectivity between France and Spain, and when the blackout happened one main line was offline because of a forest fire. If there had been more interconnectivity, the blackout could have likely been prevented, but it was only one of many factors that played into it.

Most likely they are boycotting the French nuclear power producers that are happy to sell them power at inflated prices during demand times, but block any progress on enhanced interconnectivity that would allow Spain to sell much cheaper renewable energy to them.

Following tags is a very efficient way to curate your feed in Mastodon.

First you need to check if your ISP gives you a public IP (can be temporary, if you are fine with using dyndns). Otherwise you will need some tunneling service or run such yourself from a VPS.

That article is highly misleading.

As a migrant in Portugal I agree with your concerns, but on the other hand I am happy that in my municipality (and the surrounding ones) Chega did quite badly and basically only a few idiots voted for them. Small wins and all that 🤷

They are all above 60, so presumably they expect to be dead by then.

Well, that should make it easy for Macron to finally appoint a leftist PM according to the clearly expressed voter preference, right? Right?

Come on, you can do better than repeating these false talking points.

Most immigrants are not on welfare, the exception being asylum seekers that are legally prohibited from working, so they have no other choice.

But that is only a small minority and most immigrants pay way more into the social system then they will ever get out of it.

And “illegal” immigrants are certainly not on welfare 🙄

My friend, the AfD wants to “remigrate” immigrants that are so well integrated that they have German citizenship 🙄

The reverse, i.e. getting outage notifications and so on via xmpp is quite common.

I can’t really think of any usecase to control self-hosted apps from a messenger, but sure, technically you could write such a bot quite easily.

XMPP is truly decentralized with no single point that collects this kind of data. There have been some attempts over the years, but they always failed to capture more than a fraction of the network. A recent one is more artistic in nature, probably realizing the futility of it.

The popular Conversations app has sold 100k+ units on the PlayStore, but since you can also legally get it for free, that is probably only part of the actual users.

Please don’t recommend jabber.org, it is super outdated and lacks almost all modern features.
