Hallo Freunde,

I’m DVD, just another Reddit Refugee. Interested in German culture and technology, especially game & web design.

Direct message

I’m glad you found it! I noticed that Lemmy seems to have a very sizeable German population so hopefully a few natives will help learners on here.

Oh wow, no idea how a website for just this flew under my radar, thank you.

The website now says that Lemmy is over 200,000 people, wow! This growth is amazing, I just hope the people joining are a bit more concrete though, and don’t treat this place as a fad.

Good point. Once a website is too noticeable, it is much more scrutinized. This has been seen countless times and its much harder to have the free flow of information when everyone is in on it. Then again though, that’s why there are hundreds of instances, you can drop ship in the mainstream one and take a quieter approach.

Oh man, I am not the guy to ask that haha, just using some preliminary knowledge. According to the Fossil wikipedia though, a fossil is considered such if it is older than 10,000 years. What we’re looking at is apparently called an external mold, where something embeds a mold of itself into a rock. I haven’t been able to find any info regarding how long these things take to form, but most examples I see are tens of thousands of years old.

So I would guess that rock/mold is thousands of years old then. But you’re right, it could definitely be millions if you got lucky.

Yeah. Looks like some sedimentary rock that has a few shells fossilized. If I had to bet, the rock itself is limestone perhaps?

Update: Apparently Wagner is also pushing towards Krasnodar and Volgograd with little to no resistance, both equally major cities. This is just the current word of mouth though, no major news outlets or insiders to confirm.

It’s all of our jobs to build this place up to what Reddit used to be. Definitely attainable. My only concern is that the more technical part of Lemmy (federated and what not) will shrink the site’s critical mass and thus prevent it from being a major player on the internet.

But then again, that excuse was heard back when the current status quo of websites were taking off.

Car manufacturers need to realize that people already have a touchscreen that has a GPS, podcasts, music, and text messaging service in their pockets 24/7. Best option would be to make built in phone holders that are plugged in via USB C and connect to the sound system. Voila.

Stuff like this makes me very glad to own my 2015 Nissan Altima. I get occasionally let down by its somewhat lackluster engine and CVT transmission, but it cuts all the crap with infotainment bloatware in the dashboard and how it works. The only screen in my car is a small black strip that can only display text as most cars used to have. All you do is plug in your phone to the aux cord and use your phone as the touchscreen it was made to be, no need for another one. Physical buttons galore.

It’s odd that all of this is happening at once, but if I had to bet on a cause it is complacency.

The internet used to be fast in trading the hands of “power”. Social medias/major forums would fall just as quickly as they rose. This began to change in 2008-2010 when we sort of developed the Status Quo of websites we see nowadays.

I think these corporations forgot that social medias are not indefinite, and assumed that they could safely get away with much more now than they actually can.

Glad to see new platforms such as Lemmy rising to the task. Change the status quo.
