Fox

“Spargeltarzan”, which is German for “asparagus Tarzan”. Basically someone who is physically weak, but tall and lanky.

I also like “Lauch”, which just translates to “leek”, the veggie. Oh, and “Bohnenstange”, which means bean stalk. We do seem to have quite a few vegetable-related insults in German, now that I think of it…

Such a pretty kitty!

I’m from germany. We recently went out for drinks with a researcher and a few students from the US. What I noticed about their communication was that it seemed a lot more … well, practiced maybe? Like they were working in retail and they got stuck in their “customer service voice” :P . Also a bit more focus on showmanship. Didn’t feel like you could get a genuine or personal answer out of them.

Well the resistance isn’t without reason:

To be fair, 3% of traffic missing is not going to be their downfall. They managed to rid themselves of virtually all third party clients in one swoop and had to trade in only a fraction of their monthly engagement - they’ll sell it as streamlining.

I think threads being able to make content that’s a threat to them invisible to their users by “unethically defederating” is exactly what the op is talking about. What they were likely referring to is this: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Doesn’t matter that users from other instances can still see threads content. It’s about threads accumulating the majority of users due to better infrastructure and then silencing smaller instances they deem a threat to them by defederating. It’s only been a few hours and they’ve crossed 30 million users.

Started with LastPass, used it for 10 years. Switched to Bitwarden a while ago, would never go back.

I think the main unifying trait of humanity is that we all agree that being a cat is the best state of being.

She does not look amused…

So round and fluffy! I miss my kitty…

That’s my experience too. Often when I talk to people they have pretty moderate or left-leaning views that would fit well in any of our more left-leaning parties. However the majority of them still votes for our biggest conservative party, which openly promises and does the opposite of what they claim they would want in a conversation. Frustrating.

I think there is a lot of pride to be conservative coming into play here. Hard to explain, but I sometimes see this in my family. They proudly present their ignorance to show off their conservativism, hold it in front of them like a banner. When I inquire a bit deeper their views are often a bit more reasonable, it just feels like average boomers wanting to be cool by flaunting their ignorance, as weird as this sounds.

Boopable snoot, earning her the fox seal of snoot approval.

He’s looking ready to go on an adventure!

Yuss! Would love to see lemmy grow… We also need the fox channel. All the fox channels!

Edit: The animal, not the other thing

Just pure joy, no orange brain cell needed!

A symmetric void… Pretty picture! ^^

Too scared to boop the snoot… Would she nip?
