I had a conversation with a friend about iPads lately related to the „just lacking the OS“. The newer iPads with M-chips have all the computing power an average user could need but it’s crippled by the mobile-ish OS, so all the computing power is for nothing basically. An iPad running MacOS (with some adjustments for the Touchscreen) would be awesome. But we concluded it won’t happen anytime soon, because then basically no one would buy MacBooks anymore

I live in Augsburg, Germany. We have „the king“. He just declared himself king of Augsburg about 30 years ago and everyone just went with it. He spends his days walking through the city looking after the wellbeing of his people. Here’s a video-portrait by the local newspaper for his 70th birthday (in German)

AFAIK the Dutch model so far (consumption and sale somewhat allowed, but no growing or importing) has created huge criminal organisations that also started to do a lot of other crimes (bc what’s there to lose if you’re going to jail anyway basically) and a big goal in designing the new German law was to not mess it up like the Netherlands have

Wasn’t there a study on cats that concluded something like „cats know when you call their name but just don’t care“?

Hey, not fair. It’s one user, ok? I mean, that’s me, but still

TIL „touch“ has other uses than creating a file

Well, his mother said she has seen the body

I know this a a joke but in case some people are actually curious: The manufacturer gives the capacity in Terabytes (= 1 Trillion Bytes) and the operating system probably shows it in Tebibytes (1024^4 Bytes ≈ 1.1 Trillion Bytes). So 2 Terabytes are two trillion bytes which is approximately 1.82 Tebibytes

I think you can just sync the Obsidian Directory with any cloud service or syncthing and it should work fine.

Fun fact: O.K. actually originated as the abbreviation for „oll korrect“ because people in the 1800s thought it was super funny to misspell things

I‘m not really informed on this. What is the reasoning to remove port forwarding?

I‘m German and have eaten a lot of potato salad during my entire life. Not once has it been served hot

I never said people shouldn’t have that right, i was just genuinely wondering why it’s important to people. Thanks for the insight, definitely good points you make. :) But somehow I think, if a big company wants to scrape that data (thats still publicly available, whether you make it natively searchable or not) they can do it anyway. So if you’re worried about that, shouldn’t you rather just not post that stuff to the public? (I want to emphasise again that I’m not trying to argue against you, I just want to understand as I’m not that well versed on these topics)

I knew I forgot something when posting, thank you! Good human

Genuine question: why would people have a problem with making stuff you post publicly searchable?

Zoos are definitely not aww though

Thats exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you!

Thanks for your response! It’s a very good explanation of the concept of federation, although that wasn’t what I meant. I get why switching between instances of a certain platform (like Lemmy) can make sense, for the reasons you mentioned. But not what the differences are between having an account on Lemmy vs. Mastodon for example, if they’re interconnected.
