  • After switching to the fediverse, I should also replace Google.

    Not necessarily. One step to a better internet at a time. Sometimes people get overwhelmed by free software solutions because they try to do everything at once.

    But with what?

    I’ve tried a lot but replacing google search is not easy. You can of course use a meta search engine like searx which is great but then you hand your search traffic directly to some random instance owner. You could also use startpage which is basically a firewall for google search. duckduckgo does work and I use it sometimes but the search results are definitely worse than google’s. The bangs are a nice feature though.



  • Same movie for me and same impression too. Not sure if the monster’s were even necessary. Also it had more of a “run away from the explosion” vibe than a “oh this uboat is about to implode” vibe. But I can confirm it is ok-ish.

    Edit: That’s crazy. I’ve looked at your profile since I thought it’s a funny coincidence. I’ve also lived in South Korea for a while and I’ve also used Pop OS in the past. Really interesting. May I ask what you are doing in Jeju-Do?




  • Hast natürlich recht. War einschüchtert, weil ein anderer Nutzer schrieb er kenne die Defintion von Wiki.

    Das Wort “Regel” meint nicht immer “feste, verbindlich geltende, wissenschaftliche Regel” sondern im Volksmund häufig auch “das üblicherweise Geltende” (siehe auch Duden 1b). Und so ist das Wort hier, wie ich die Redewendung kenne, auch gemeint.

    Heißt man benutzt die Redewendung wenn der Gesprächspartner tief in die Kuriositäten-Kiste greifen muss um eine Regel zu entkräften. Das legt nahe, dass die Regel generell gilt.

    Beispiel: A: Wenn Menschen aus hoher Höhe ohne Hilfmittel fallen sterben sie.

    B: Naja irgendwo habe ich gelesen dass eine Frau aus dem Flugzeug gefallen ist und überlebt hat weil sie glücklich in einer Sanddüne gelandet ist.

    A: Haha, würde sagen die Ausnahme bestätigt die Regel














  • I’m new to this. I have one question. Imagine the following setup:

    • Instance A federates with instances B and C
    • Instance B only federates with instance C
    • Instance C federates with instance A and B

    Following scenario:

    • Someone on instance B posts something and writes a comment to the post
    • I’m on instance A and I comment on his comment
    • Now someone from instance C comments on my comment

    What does a person from instance B see now? I assume he won’t see my comment as instance B defederated instance A. But he should see the comment from the instance C guy. But how can he see the reply when the original comment is not visible?
