Shade, cooler Air in summer, better protection against rain… 🤷‍♂️ Trees are 😎

Had just 4 X-Buttons… could be worse. 🥸

War der Betriebsurlaub bei BMW schon vorbei? Bei der Aktion am 23.8. in Regensburg war das ja eher so naja…

Interessanter wäre doch: Was ist der Median der Entgeltgruppen der Beschäftigten, welche eine Vergleichbare Tätigkeit haben wie man selbst.

Aber das gibt das Gesetz wohl nicht so direkt her. 🤷‍♂️

Spare lunch?

Also that’s the same for Lemmy for me. Since Memmy and Mlem are in the AppStore (where I preferred Memmy), I use Lemmy much more and haven’t opened Reddit since 1st July.

So, as long as there aren’t any major high class mobile Apps for firefish, I don’t expect it getting anywhere near to mastodon.

What about mobile apps? I’m on mastodon, but I basically never see the mastodon UI as I stick with Ivory (as I’m a former Tweetbot User on some ancient Microblogging Plattform which has transformed to something… else).

I don’t want to use some „nice looking“ Webpages which are optimized for mobile screens. I want dedicated Apps, as they offer mostly the much better experience.

I think the recent run of developing high class Mastodon Apps earlier this year (as the mentioned ancient Plattform kicked them out) gave mastodon an enormous boost.

Let’s see. I work at a huge corporation (tens of thousands employees each with his own laptop). Until now: only windows, currently since a few years HP Elitebooks (the suck completely if you need a little bit power) and optionally some zBooks.

Some months ago they introduced MacBooks as another option. But with less support and some things a bit more complicated as the corporation completely relies on the AD user management.

Unfortunately we have a ton of custom made software applications or specialized software which - of course - run only on windows. So currently, the MacBooks are only an option for the typical Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel user.

I don’t see this being transferred to complete Mac compatibility within the next 10 years. Probably step by step (we just started using Codebeamer as our Requirements Engineering tool, which is completely web based. That’s nice. :)

But that’s just the first step. We‘ll see in a few years.

Still waiting for Teslas driving from west to east coast completely autonomously. And Elon flying to mars.

The reliance on fossil fuel didn’t change a lot since shutdown of the last nuclear power plants. And basically… nuclear is also fossil. The fuel rods aren’t just there. They consist of materials which are mined. The difference is only that they are not emitting CO2. But instead the nuclear waste has to be stored for some thousand years. Germany already has a lot of tons of waste and still no place for final storage.

And as we could see last year in France, nuclear isn’t also that much reliable too.

The quitting of nuclear energy was still the right decision. The timing together with the Russian/Ukrainian war wasn’t the best, but unfortunate something like shutting down a nuclear plant ist something you can easily postpone when the plan is planned and startet to execute. Also a bad decision of previous german governments was to shut down nuclear plants and not building up a replacing renewable infrastructure. So in the end, there was no other choice for the current government to shut them down and rely on gas and coal a bit more than they wanted too.

Oh, I’m looking forward to the fight. 🍿

I run a private Mastodon Instance. The server gives me the option to automatically delete the media-cache after a given number of days (I have it set to 180 days). If the data is needed again, it will be pulled from the original instance. Again. If still available.

An additional setting is the deletion of the federated content at all, which is saved on my server. This probably cannot be reverted, as the server doesn’t know anymore what to pull from what server… I have this setting at 365 days.

Additionally I can set my personal account to auto delete my own posts after a given time. With being able to set some excludes (favorited, bookmarked, posts which got a minimum of likes, …). But this is not a server setting, it’s an account setting.

Social media does not need to be saved forever. :)
