How do I read/use this site? What’s important?

Magic earth comes closest I guess. It has live traffic although in my opinion not on par with Google maps. Still, I am using it and am quite satisfied

Awesome, follow us on everything that is the farthest away from open source and definitely don’t find us on the open source platforms

E.g Osmand, organicmaps, magic earth. Magic earth is as far as I know the only one supporting real time traffic (and hence route optimization upon traffic incidents)

Yes I hear this all the time. So what you are saying is that 1)people in Europe don’t have jobs and 2)the population density in us is low. Regarding 2) yes it is lower in the US however Washington dc and surrounding area (maybe 2h drive by car or so) have several million inhabitants. Let’s assume 5, if only 1% of them are going we would be talking about at least 50.000 people joining a protest. I don’t have seen any reports about that, are those just not reported?

Sorry but there are like 100 people at each protest. There should be a million marching through Washington… What are we talking about here

For any German, correctiv should be a must go to…although it’s not necessarily daily news but rather weekly and investigative journalism. Politico.eu for europeans, deutschlandfunk, Tagesschau, lemmy, reddit

But as some people have hinted as well… Visiting news sites nowadays can only make you depressed really…

And do you reveal which instance you are using? Or is it a private one?

Serious question here: what is the bad ux experience of lemmy compared to reddit? (except choosing an instance in the beginning, I get that this might turn off a lot of people)

Getting children and realizing that privacy is important with all the data leaks, misuse of data, maybe not having their pictures and videos out there, trained on, misused. That’s when degoogling started and with it quitting fb and Twitter and looking for alternatives. I am still lurking on LinkedIn and reddit though. But using foss redreader, reddit is actually still quite nice as a link aggregator and information source. And well , although LinkedIn has degraded so much over the last years, it somehow still seems to be a good source of information for everything job related.

But as this was my last straw, how do you see the future? Teenagers will still be teenagers and they will be urged to use anything that is popular due to peer pressure. When I am thinking of that, it will probably be an impossible undertaking to prevent them of using any of these platforms

Yes obviously you are American…

Yes…most of these news recently is then followed up by:we are on bluesky now… Well it’s fair enough but they should at least also join mastodon … I don’t know. It’s frustrating.

Is this /s or not I can’t tell. Well they definitely benefit from drugs that you have to constantly take. For years. Until you die. That’s their business model. If there could be a drug that cures you instantly, there is no effort to develop it by this company who sells you this constant supply of drug. So yes. Pharma has an interest in you staying sick enough to need treatment and not die.

Haha I was wondering the same. The hate score does not make sense

Tubular

Well some part of the world wanted this and did a lot to achieve this. But yeah, most don’t deserve what’s probably to come

Why are you downvoted? I am from Germany and you are totally right. With a lot of people in Germany this will 100 percent backfire. The educated already knew that Elon is a garbage nazi, the others will more so believe how he is such a cool guy and the savior of the planet

Can you give more detail? I was a lifetime windows user and recently switched. I’m running Linux mint and steam and every game I tried on it was working as expected (admittedly my samplesize is not that big but from what I remember hades 2, slay the spire, horizon zero dawn, doom, civ5, rimworld, pal world were tried. No difference to windows. Maybe not the newest aaa games…)
