I am a guy from southern germany. I like scouting, trains and computers. Politically, I would consider myself as a democratic socialist.
(For anyone wondering, yes this is from the same guy, as !DeckPacker@piefed.blahaj.zone)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your thoughts and feelings towards nuclear power?English
6·2 months agoThey aren’t nearly as unsafe as people think they are and I think they are completely fine.
BUT it still doesn’t make sense to build them, because renewables (especially solar) is so much cheaper, so we should focus all our energy on expanding that instead of nuclear.

Technology@lemmy.world•Instagram Plus Is a New Low | Drive yourself crazy for the low price of $3.99 a monthEnglish
29·2 months agoWhat I found much more interesting than the new subscription, was all their weird obsessive behaviours the author described, which seem to almost normalized in her mind.
Like memorizing all the followers of your ex and checking regularly if they have new ones, to see if they have a new relationship. Or checking, if your exes look at your stories.
I am very glad, I am not involved with social media (and most of my friends as well), because it seems to exadurate your worst impulses in a way, that I would have never thought could be normalized in our society.

Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic disables top-tier AI models after US order limiting foreign accessEnglish
152·3 months agoI hope they cut off all access to US-AI to foreign countries, because that would mean, I don’t have to fucking deal with it anymore.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any other Windows or Mac users here?English
161·3 months agoEy, it’s fine to use Windows, no need to insult Linux people though.
You can do some really cool shit with Linux, when it comes to ricing etc. You don’t have to like it, but it can be a really cool hobby.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What brought you to the Fediverse?English
5·4 months agoI am a huge believer in free software and researched a bit if there was any open source social media.
I found out the Fediverse was a pretty successful attempt at this and now I am active mostly on piefed and Mastodon.
Contrary to most people here, I don’t have a huge gripe with Reddit, that I wouldn’t have with any other corporate owned social media. I am here mostly because I believe in this project and want to see it evolve. I don’t simply see it as a Reddit / Twitter alternative.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I need a new computer - which would you recommend?English
2·4 months agoI have a used ThinkPad T460, I found a really nice deal for on eBay (90€).
It serverves me pretty well I mostly watch videos on it (works pretty well up to 1080p on Youtube), but it’s fine for most things, web browsing, editing documents and even coding.
I used it during a game jam with my friends, we were making a 2d game in Godot and it was good enough for that. I am running Linux Mint on it, it is a miracle what Linux can do for your old machines.
Other than that, old surface pros are pretty good nowadays and the 5th/ 6th generation can be found for 150€ if you are lucky. They also have excellent Linux support if you get the right kernel patches .
But I would probably recommend you try out Linux on your existing Laptop and see how it works for you. M2 support is pretty good nowadays for Asahi Linux. Maybe get an external drive for that money.

This seems a bit sketchy to me. How am I getting paid for participating when it’s completely free?




Yeah, it’s kinda silly. As things should be.
