It’s just that there are lots of stuff that don’t really work (out of the box) with Wayland systems, an example being getting an IME with ibus/fcitx5 to work in browsers.

Which is why “nothing” supports it
I think there might be an objectively true answer for most (all?) here: wake up.
There might be some all nighters, but besides that, every day for almost everyone starts with waking up, which is also arguably an important part of the daily routine.
You guys must have better hours than me.
Usually 09:00 to 17:30, 40 hour week. (30 minutes break). In addition, my commute is 1:30h one way.
At least we don’t have flying cars, that would be a nightmare
Yeah, I know, but I meant that that technically forces C on everyone.
It is. Do not worry
I mean aren’t they forcing everyone else to learn C/C++ otherwise? If we follow that logic, at least
As a private person, defending against nation threat actors is impossible. And not only as a private person, but even as a medium sized company.
You sinner
Factoring mods also use lua. Lua is a neat little extension language.
What do you mean? The vim users know their key combinations pretty well, that’s kind of the point of vim.
That extension is actually pretty cool. There is also tridactyl and a browser that was made with vim in mind, but a browser and a text editor are too different for many things to translate.
That acronym usually stands for “Input Method Editor” and describes the program that makes people able to type east Asian characters with a usual keyboard.
日本語は楽しいです。
Yeah I get it, it feels somewhat anonymous, but if you look, it’s really not. I use my usual Internet Pseudonym and if you search for it you can probably find my personal website quickly. As a German, I’ve had to put an impression there even. Reminds me, maybe using my Pseudonym everywhere is something I should avoid, but then again, I’ve grown attached to it. I follow ich_iel on here and also read comments there. It’s a small community and you just know the regulars after a while.
It’s not hard to use if you already know it, but I feel were forgetting the majority of the population that is absolutely not well versed in technology. I occasionally listen to a podcast that addresses the social media trends of the week, and in many episodes they addressed the fediverse once. And it was only mastodon for them, they didn’t even get the name right, and they didn’t really get federation too. I feel like it’s true that it’s not hard to use, but it seems like it’s still hard for the average person to get into the fediverse, presumingly caused by the network effect and the fact that corps can’t milk us dry and take all our data. The decentralized nature makes it hard to grasp for “normies”.
Yes I have great friends and love them very much. I don’t have a lot of English only friends. Someone in my family is married to a man from England, and I got to know a few of his friends, it was all great. True that even in the younger generation there are groups with low english skills, I feel like we’d need statistics on it to be sure.
I don’t we’re arguing or anything. Thanks for the conversation :)
I feel like having fax listed in a public institution is really not a great example of the general population, and especially not of the people that would use the fediverse. Besides that, just because you have a fax machine doesn’t mean you can’t be technical. My father has one and he knows his way about using tech stuff, for example.
Internet infrastructure is of course a decades old problem, but then again, you don’t need highspeed Internet to post on the fediverse.
While it’s true that Germans might value their privacy more than others, the fediverse is incredibly niche and most people either use the big corpo apps or nothing. Also lemmy is not anonymous, at most maybe pseudonymous.
I really don’t get point 2. Isn’t being a member of the fediverse rather advanced? But also how are Germans technologically behind regarding common personal life?
I’m Gen Z and almost all of my friends know English well enough to have a conversation online. Granted, I work in IT, but not all of my friends are technology people and this still holds.
Counterpoint: I think Germany is just a rather big Western country with many technologically interested people and people who value fediverse ideals like being free from corporate influence. There are dozens of us!
It’s German but ‘Rucksackriemenquerverbindungsträger’, the thing between the straps of a backpack that you can connect to lighten the load on your shoulders.
I made the word up but I use it pretty often.
