Instagram puts way more than 30% on their ads when purchasing through iOS
If you buy 100€ of ad budget, they want you to pay an additional 42.5% apple service fee and additional taxes here in Germany.
If I do it through their ad center suddenly the taxes are already included in the budget so if I pay 100€ I get 100€. So in the end, Meta charges iOS users an additional 70% vs what they usually charge.

The problem is that many specific communities are transitioning from reddit to discord. It would be cool to have some kind of matrix integration with Lemmy accounts/communities and vice versa.


I don’t think you understood what I was trying to say:
The difference is that companys wont do the skippable ads by themselves. Each country will have to do their own legislation to mandate this. Even if Europe would do similiar legislation to Vietnam, YouTube would still show full ads in other countries because they make them way more money.
Which is quite the difference to hardware mandates like USB-C, where a few countries can basically set it as mandatory and the manufacturers will roll it out for all countries because its easier and cheaper to manufacture one model than multiple different versions.
It makes no sense for Apple to produce one iPhone with USB-C and one with lightning financially. But it makes a lot of sense for YouTube to show unskippable ads in every country that allows it to make more money.


Theres a major difference though. It is much more costly and complicated to manufacture different hardware for different countries (especially with the eco system of peripherals behind it) than it is to change software for different countries.
Its easy for YouTube or Facebook to set all ads for Vietnam to skippable while maintaining unskippable ads for other countries to maximize profits.

It‘s the Dunning-Kruger-Effect


But how will I find the solution [Comment deleted] from [User deleted] for my obscure software problems???
„Palatschinken“ is what they call it in Austria. In Germany it‘s mostly called „Pfannkuchen“ (which is the literal translation of Pancakes)

Now comes the confusing part: In East Germany, they call it „Eierkuchen“ (Eggcake) and they call what West Germans know as „Berliner“ or „Krapfen“ (The filled donut without a hole) „Pfannkuchen“

So Pfannkuchen means totally different things depending on where you are in Germany.
Picture of a Berliner:

What a fucking ugly logo. They really fired everyone competent, didn‘t they?
I‘m also on the lookout for a cheap used one. The phase till planned obsolescence is surprisingly long with Apple as long as you have the tools to swap out the battery yourself. My wifes XS is still running great and thats a 7 year old phone by now. As soon as the batteries hit that 80% or lower degredation, they run like shit.
I‘m sure you could get at least another four years with updates out of it at the moment.
The iPhone 13 mini was the perfect size and if Apple would have used that as a base for their new SE instead of the shitty 16e, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Just give me a thicc 13 mini with a good battery, camera and a new processor.
Yeah, why would I use BlueSky when I could just use my favorite platform named Threads?
Just kidding


Of course, its just an open source LLM that you can run on open source software like Ollama or LoLLMS


I was the founder of r/TIHI in a past life and u/spez removed all of us moderators because we weren‘t opening the sub as part of our protest.
I them requested them to take down the subs title picture and logo which I created and they didn‘t even bother.


No, but a lot of them are apologists for tech bros.


They probably don‘t want to loose the incel people in their audience


I think locally only, LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.
There was a German social network a few years ago that did exactly that (before Facebook was available in German)
They had SchülerVZ for kids/teens, then they had StudiVZ for university students and finally they had MeinVZ for adults. The problem was, that they weren’t interconnected at all apart from the option to move your account to the next platform. So if you were just starting to study but you still had friends that were in school, you could’t keep in touch with them.
Tried it in GPT 5.2 (although in German) and it also says, that walking is better.
It also made a completely illogical sentence at the third point with two words in lowercase that should be uppercase.
