it’s stupid that English uses Latin abbreviations for these things; my first language is German and so:

• “z.B.” = “zum Beispiel” = “for example” = “e.g.”
• “d.h.” = “das heißt” = “that means” = “i.e.”

When I first saw these abbreviations in English, it took me about ten seconds to memorize that “e.g.” means “z.B.” and “i.e.” means “d.h.”. If English just did it the way German does and abbreviated its native expressions (“f.e.” and “t.m.”), it would be obvious to everyone which is which.

“All” means all. I suggest not using “all” but subscribing to things you actually want to see.

I had some problems accessing my instance for a few minutes earlier today, but right now everything is working smoothly.

because the WWW is now so unimaginably big that something needs to show up on the first page, and except for very obscure search terms, that “something” will probably be more well-known pages that have invested more in SEO

Things you send to friends and family will not be indexed by Google, so that is somewhat useless for this purpose.

and some games like SuperTuxKart are playable

I use Krusader on Linux which I don’t think has icon view.

When I have to use something else (eg Windows Explorer at work), obviously I prefer detailed list view. I like seeing things like the last modified date.

while I don’t know the answer to the question, I am very certain that

or would whole fediverse crash

is not it; if that could make the whole fediverse crash, someone could do it maliciously. At most it will cause problems delivering your messages or delivering messages to you.

There’s an option in the settings to make Ctrl+Tab cycle by last used tabs instead of the order they appear in in the tab bar. I have that turned off, so can’t tell you 100% whether it does what you want…

Otherwise of course if you still know the name of the tab, just type whatever you can remember into the address bar, that is how I find tabs usually.

Debian (testing) is most suitable for me. If there were a universally best distro, all the others would cease to exist…

It isn’t made by a for-profit company and thus doesn’t have “features” I don’t want.

It pays attention to software freedom, though it isn’t so restrictive about it that it doesn’t work with my hardware.

It was very easy to install only the things I wanted and needed.

yeah, I saw your instance only after posting the above comment :D

Still, some other people reading this thread might not know this; I think the way you guys are doing it is a good way to get your articles more widely spread, I think it would be good if other media organizations did the same.

Media organizations typically don’t want to post (only) to discussion groups, they want to provide a way to follow them as organizations.

That being said, @heiseonline@social.heise.de does sometimes mention threadiverse communities in its posts so they appear in those communities.

probably not, maybe you could ask a former sysadmin of lemm.ee whether they have a copy of the database and can extract this data for you, but if that doesn’t work, they’re probably gone

not heard of it before, do you want to explain what it is or does everyone who is like me have to separately do a web search for it?

If they are using someone else’s GPL code and adding requirements like that, then yes, that is infringement.

For a link, you’ll see it after posting if it appears in the list of places the link has been crossposted to, at which point you can delete it.

An image, that is more technically challenging because it requires detecting whether two images are the same, which is not as trivial as it sounds. But for images, I think reposts are no big deal anyway, many people will not have seen it the first time.

not everything bad is enshittification, it’s not meant to be a universal buzzword

I am not sure I have seen track gauges given in centimeters ever before. Usually I see that standard gauge is 1435 millimeters.

I don’t see a lot of the things you’re trying to avoid on my instance. But I almost always browse “subscribed” and mostly have no idea what’s going on in communities I’m not subscribed to.

I’m currently unable to find a minimum age requirement on my instance, so she could try that. I’ve never given this topic much thought because Lemmy didn’t exist when I was a minor…
