Thank you, looks pretty cool at first sight.

This is meant for simple replacement algorithms like ROT1, ROT13 etc. right?

Can’t you just use another instance to unblock Mastodon?

It’s not free but if you charge your account with 10€ you get 100 days of flatrate for more or less all international landlines. After these 100 days or calls on mobile you pay 1-3 cents per minute.

FreeVoipDeal is super cheap, allows you to use an already existing own number and can be used with any client that supports the SIP protocol.

In a way that it allows me to salvage any burnt bread by simply unroasting it? Or a time machine that will take me back to the dinosaurs but I’ll arrive dead and crispy?

I never did, but I also don’t know any other Lemmy user in person, so I guess it’s pretty pointless to share my profile.

From my perspective Lemmy by far isn’t as user-centric as Mastodon. In Mastodon you mainly follow people whereas in Lemmy you subscribe to communities.

Congratulations and good luck with your publication!

If you want to avoid conflicts maybe drop a short message to one of the mods upfront but otherwise I wouldn’t worry too much! :)

And pours the boiling water on its legs.

Anyone knows how that fingerprinting might have worked here? Unless you used a very specific combination of browser extensions, I can’t get my head around how it could track you… Or do they maybe use external services like Google Analytics to identify users? But even that would require that you logged in somewhere else before with that same browser.

True. And it’s also not like that’s some kind of secret. That’s an official branch of the Ukrainian military organization.

If you don’t have a problem with second hand, I’d recommend to check out Vinted. If you live in Germany you can also check Kleinanzeigen.

I got several pairs of barefoot shoes in good condition there for relatively cheap.

I had shoes from Leguano, Wildling, Merrell (US) and vivobarefoot.

Does anyone know if the Eutelsat service is technically comparable to Starlink? So far, I was under the impression that there’s no real alternative to it in terms of bandwidth and response time.

Second, Eutelsat has been criticized a lot for (still today!) spreading Russian propaganda via their TV satellites. There’s even a dedicated section on that in their Wikipedia article. Not sure if it’s adequate to frame them now as the good guys.

Is there a list with brands that are actually manufactured in Europe? IMHO that’d be way more interesting for me.

In general I would advise everyone to have a look at second hand clothing. Especially Vinted makes it very comfortable and easy to search, filter and buy used products in your style, size, budget and condition you are looking for. It’s not only money but also lots of ressources.

Then at least start to eliminate them where it is possible: single use cups, pizza boxes, oven paper, pans, rain jackets, dental floss, skiing wax etc.

And for the other areas tax all PFAS products with an increasing rate year-by-year. If the alternative is ‘just keep going’ I have doubts that the industry is trying hard enough to find substitutes.

I just browse all from time to time and if I recognize interesting / funny content from a community several times I subscribe.

Regarding your specific example, there pretty good reasons not to use AI if there’s an adequate alternative, so I can absolutely understand people arguing against that.

AI is resource intensive and thus bad for the environment. Results usually aren’t deterministic, so the behavior is no longer reproducible. If there is a defined algorithm to solve the issue in a correct way, AI will be less accurate. If you use cloud services, you may run into privacy issues.

Not saying there aren’t any use cases for LLMs or other forms of AI. But just applying it everywhere 'cause it’s fancy, is not a good idea.

In general, I appreciate if people question my work or come up with proposals for improvement as long as it’s polite and the person is at least qualified to some degree. However, that does not mean that I change my mind immediately and follow their advice.

Also, we first have to define more precisely what ‘being 2’ means. E.g., if we just count birthdays and one of them is born on Feb 29th in a leap year, that person ‘ages’ with 1/4 of the speed.

Appreciate your work and support for the Fediverse although I personally don’t miss the AI-based recommendation algorithms from the big platforms. If you keep watching ‘your interests’ it also hardens your personal media bubble. I prefer ‘dumb’ algorithms like ‘most upvoted’, ‘most controversial’, ‘newest’ etc.
