Somehow related, I have also questions as an European (Belgian) who then observe what is happening right now in the USA with curiosity (and fear to be honest). In my country, we have got a new government almost at the same time Trump was inaugurated. They plan to do some changes to the way some aspects of our society is, changes that are a bit difficult for some categories of the population but really nothing like in the USA. Anyway, since January, there have been strikes, protests, people going in the streets,…
Why are we not seeing such things in the USA? I would have thought that there will be millions of people in the streets protesting against the F-gesture done to democracy, LGBT rights, women rights, nonsense with economy (tarriff, that at the end the “middle class workers” will have to pay) and foreign politics but, as far as we are aware here in Europe, I seen no such protests. The only action I seen is some boycott of Tesla.
- Is it a cultural difference with Europe (and other parts of the world) to not go in the streets?
- Are those occurring but the medias do not inform us on it?
- Are people scared to protest?
- Or, people just don’t care or are even, in majority, happy with what happens now?

Thank you for your dedication in maintaining us a great instance. Very much appreciated, I’m really happy that my initial instance closed and that I choose (mostly out of luck) this one.

I read every night with a kobo e-reader (next to my partner who generally sleep before me). I use night mode and a very dim brightness (2-3 %, the max I use is 4 %). It’s sufficient in my opinion.

Nowadays it’s video for everything… Am I the only old bear that prefer plain old textual tutorials?

If you want or need something chromium based, a good alternative IMHO is Vivaldi, although partially open source.

No issues at all :)

I cross posted this because I felt like it somehow belonged here. Now I see your point, I look at the site and nothing state how are computed the metrics, this should be clarified in my opinion (now the stat site is open source so you can check yourself if you want).

It could be nice for transparency purpose to publish a list of reasons for each blocked instance. ( Could be even better if Lemmy supported that out-of-the-box but I don’t think this is a top priority right now).
