If you didn’t prepare for it, you often can’t use the luck when it passes buy.

Jlailu is quite anti-tankie, we had some problems with them before, to the point of considering alternatives to Lemmy due to the ideology of the creators. As the average of Lemmy, it’s also no very tolerant with conservative ideas, but I have no idea what happened to this user in particular.

Isn’t the phone less private than an encrypted app?

Yeah, that’s the one I am fearing, the enshitification of Whatsapp, I think it already happened in some countries.

Sometimes it’s a tactic to discourage escalation because it adds confusion.

What if the platform you use with your relatives suddenly requires this?

As of 7 September 2025, there are 7,052,247 articles in the English Wikipedia containing over 4.9 billion words (giving a mean of about 706 words per article). The total number of pages is 63,983,130. Articles make up 11.02 percent of all pages on Wikipedia. As of 16 October 2024, the size of the current version including all articles compressed is about 24.05 GB without media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia

The following graphic illustrates how large the English Wikipedia might be if the articles (without images and other multimedia content) were to be printed and bound in book form with a format similar to Encyclopædia Britannica. Each volume is assumed to be 25 cm (9.8 in) tall, 5 cm (2.0 in) thick, and containing 1,600,000 words or 8,000,000 characters. The size of this illustration is based upon the live article count manually adjusted by the average word count on an irregular basis on a user subpage of the graphic’s creator Tompw. The growth rate is approximately one full volume every three days if the increase in average article size isn’t accounted for over time. The print volumes as shown in the illustration would take up just over 9.34 m3 (330 cu ft) in total volume.

Just a different intelligent species with 7 fingers.

And one year later half of it breaks because of a Gnome update. Maybe you should have followed up the specific repo that warned that you needed to move to this new extension, or maybe it just went silent without explanation. Something like that.

Which server is representing 25% of the index on the Fediverse?

I thought ME was an acronym for some popular politician here, took me time to understand.

Some monarchist defend their views by saying that it allows to have a successor determined without being biased by a populiraty contest and which can be educated from birth to become the perfect monarch.

It should mention that Qwant (France) and Ecosia (Germany), announced last year a joint project for an independent European search index, although only for French and German according to this publication. https://betterweb.qwant.com/en/2024/11/08/ecosia-and-qwant-join-forces-to-develop-european-search-index/

Certainly not the worst, I think they have good quality control. Quite similar to Disney, they are makers of good quality and safe products, able to satisfy the mass.

I will give you that the first iteration of a series, like Mario Kart, is innovative, but the 16 next iterations, not so much. While Nintendo doesn’t make Pokemon, they are the publishers, technical platform provider and co-owner of the Pokemon Company, they would have all the leverage necessary to push the Pokemon games to innovate if they were interested in innovation.

I wish I could buy the exact same Balders Gate next year, but with just different bald people based on the data of which bald people was shown most in the media this past year.

Nintendo, the company that released dozens of sequels and remakes of Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda and Pokemon, right? I guess my wildest dreams are a bit more wild.

It seems the dad is your friend now. You don’t need your ex opinion about who you can be friend with.

The machines perform better with low temperature.
