I've been using MetaGer for a long time and have been very satisfied with it. So sad to see it go. Time to look for a new search engine.

And that "no poop challenge" that was everywhere on lemmy about a year ago. Not sure whether that was a lemmy thing or wider, as I don't use anything besides lemmy.

I'm glad a local culture is growing here naturally, but I didn't expect it to be beans, jeans and no poop

I got the notification that it's on sale now. I'm buying it today and can't wait to play it when I get the time

I know how you feel. I often find myself typing :w into notepad/word at work to save something. Or when I log into a machine that doesn't have the vim extension in vscode I constantly type /something to search, only to realize that I actually wrote that in the file. Then using 'u' to undo just adds more characters and people look at me like I'm on some drugs. Just embrace it!

:wq

Interesting, I thought their beaks were just some hard material, like our nails. Didn't know that there's bloodflow there.

Exactly my experience. I often heard stories of vegans being like that, but I never ever saw it so I thought it was just made up to belittle vegans.

Then I joined lemmy and found out that I'm apparently in favour of massacres, slavery and rape because I consume meat/milk/eggs from time to time.

I imagine the vast majority of vegans just go about their lives and resprectfully discuss the ethics of animal consumption when the topic comes up, but these loud militant members really make vegans look bad and they sure as hell make it so that even less people consider going vegan

You might be thinking of this:

Where he mentioned that the desktop is unique in that it has to support thousands of different devices for all kinds of people, and that most people don't really care what their computer is running as long as it works.

Yeah, Adrienne is amazing, as are all the band members. But there's just something to her vocals... The only band I listened to religiously before Seven Spires was Sascha Paeth's Masters of Ceremony, and guess who the vocalist is.

AFCH is sooo much darker and heavier that the previous albums. I regularly get goosebumps from listening to "Where Sorrows Bear my Name"

I came here to mention Seven Spires! After listening it through about 40 times, it is by far my favourite album ever, topping Solveig (for which I'm in a minority I think).

I like and liked a lot of bands, but only Seven Spires made me completely obsessed for 2+ years

Most of southeastern Europe uses Viber as the "default messaging app", so it does vary by region.

I actually like the idea of being able to see how many upvotes/downvotes came from specific instances much more than seeing the actual users. It would cover some of the positives mentioned in the github discussion:

-Could help fight bot and multiple-account voting (if we assume that people who make multiple accounts do it on the same instance)
-Could help identify voting-patterns from specific servers (obviously)

And then if something looks suspicious, the admins can already see who voted, so they could check out whether some user is abusing the mechanics.

I find that this approach might be worth talking about, but making user votes visible to all seems very unnecessary.
