- Comment on How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him? 2 weeks ago:
His family name is Julius Caesar. Gaius is his given name.
- Comment on Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans? 2 weeks ago:
^* human life, not humans. Being confined like a potted plant is considered acceptable for a person in a coma or with a severe disabilities, but not for a pet.
- Comment on Are there seach engines that dont depend Google and Bing, if not what are the barriers to entry of new search engines? 2 weeks ago:
Ecosia at least partially uses the European Search Perspective (EUSP) search index which they develop in collaboration with Qwant.
- Comment on Which Pipes to choose (Newpipe, Pipepipe, Piped Invidious...etc)? 4 weeks ago:
Nice, I recently switched to PipePipe but have NewPipe installed alongside. You observations totally make sense, as PipePipe’s website suggests, its development has become independent of NewPipe.
- Comment on Which Pipes to choose (Newpipe, Pipepipe, Piped Invidious...etc)? 4 weeks ago:
As e.g. PipePipe and Tubular are forks of NewPipe, you need the original anyways for the meantime after issues have been fixed until these are adopted by the forks.
- Comment on What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelt exactly the same? 5 weeks ago:

TomTom is based in the Netherlands.
- Comment on Is there a FOSS version of Waze or Google Maps? 1 month ago:
In the meantime one could parasitically use the Data from Google, e.g. in OSMAnd Link (in German but with useful screenshots).
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 1 month ago:
The remaining question is: Do you run your own Nextcloud for backup or do you use the one provided by Murena?
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 1 month ago:
It seems like professional equipment will not be affected:
While the FCC’s Covered List makes it sound like the US is banning all “routers produced in a foreign country,” it’s defined a bit more narrowly than that. It’s specifically banning “consumer-grade routers” as defined in NIST Internal Report 8425A, which refers to ones “intended for residential use and can be installed by the customer.”
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 1 month ago:
but consumer routers are a really significant security junction which historically has always been somewhat neglected.
You’re right, but simply shifting the produchtion from overseas to US doesn’t inherently make the routers more secure. The aeticle mentions the lack of software updates for discontinued products as a big threat that has been exploited in the past.
I only read a few sentences before the paywall stopped me,
Fortunately, there is no paywall for me. Here is the article on archive.org.
but sounds like they’ll whitelist any foreign manufacturers that are legitimate.
No, the article mentions only one exception:
Now, router makers need to A) secure a “conditional approval” that lets them keep getting new products cleared for US entry while they work to convince the government that they’ll open up manufacturing in the US, or B) make the decision to skip selling future products in the US, like dronemaker DJI already did.
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 1 month ago:
It only applies to router models that aren’t approved by FCC yet. I.e., you will be able to buy those (current and future) models who already have an FCC approval.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 1 month ago:
/e/-OS on Fairphone 5.
- Comment on Is it a good idea to use an Android phone as an external SSD for backing up my home folder? 2 months ago:
IIrc, because unpowered SSDs loose data on the long term. Yet, simply for backing up and restoring some days or weeks later, they should be fine.
- Comment on What is the best alternative to a "smart" cell phone today? 2 months ago:
And disable mobile data and wifi.

- Comment on Is ice heavier than water? 3 months ago:
They talk about comparing the same volume of ice and liquid water, e.g. 1 cm³ ice vs. 1 cm³ liquid water, not two specimen of the same mass.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Did somebody already mention oil?
- Comment on Should I get the Measles and/or Mpox vaccines if I had them as a child? 4 months ago:
Eine Masernimpfung kann im Einzelfall auch bei Personen, die vor 1970 geboren wurden, sinnvoll sein, etwa bei besonderem Expositionsrisiko oder individuellen gesundheitlichen Umständen. Dies gilt insbesondere für Personen der Jahrgänge 1966 bis 1969. Eine solche Entscheidung liegt in der ärztlichen Verantwortung. Zu berücksichtigen ist dabei, dass die Kostenübernahme durch die Krankenkassen in diesen Fällen nicht automatisch gesichert ist und individuell abgeklärt werden sollte.
Again what learned.
- Comment on Should I get the Measles and/or Mpox vaccines if I had them as a child? 4 months ago:
The German governmental health agency (STIKO of Robert Koch Institute) recommends to get vaccinated if you’re born after 1970 and it’s unclear if you already have been vaccinated yet.
- Comment on Should I get the Measles and/or Mpox vaccines if I had them as a child? 4 months ago:
Usually, MMR vaccination isn’t refreshed every 10 years, but the ‘other one’ Polio-Diphterie-Tetanus-Pertussis is.
- Comment on Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal? 4 months ago:
I would be surprised if there was a country that don’t have their all laws set in the paper form.
The anglosaxon school of law is more case-based than build on written law like e.g. in continental Europe.

@tanisnikana@lemmy.world was so kind to link the video for us who don’t know.
- Comment on Could there be additional forces at super low energies? Could a new fundamental force be discovered anytime soon? + other questions relating to forces 5 months ago:
Current gravity wave detection works by measuring interference, if I understand correctly.
Not the Interference of two gravitational waves, but the interference of the (initially) coherent light of a split laser beam.

- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 5 months ago:
Unironically, I’ve had people telling me they save electric energy by inserting the angled Schuko plugs of their electric devices ‘upwards’.

The Ubuntu font family is the first that comes into my mind.

Definitely. But fortunately, everything here has the dimension length to the power of something.
