  • I have a bro in the US @Zengen@social.fossware.space. He visited me a couple times in Germany (even for my wedding) and I visited him in the US two times. Last time with my wife and my kids, in April. When we explained to his family what a Handy is in Germany, they all laughed and this is what ultimately led me to the creation of this meme.

    Also, he and I frequently make jokes about it.

  • I feel that mostly older folks still use the term? Maybe it's just my friends and I. Ever since I realized what it means in english-speaking countries, I stopped saying it.

    Maybe, I'm wrong. But again, I rarely hear the term "Handy" any more.

  • The Japanese is just very unnatural and sometimes even wrong.

  • A handjob. Better don't ask anyone for a handy.

  • I already noticed that Duolingo isn't very good for learning languages after taking a glance at it's Japanese course. I need to take a look at the German one, as well.

  • In the US, it's apparently a handjob.

  • Most people in my bubble stopped saying that. They usually just say "smartphone" now.

  • Also dead people holding back innovation.

  • ... what? But I am here. 😜

  • No need to use Imgur. It's bad for people using VPNs or TOR. Just paste the image inline, maybe with a spoiler tag, like this:

  • You're calling me a nectarine cobbler?

  • The Grudge. The Japanese original and the US ones.

  • Thank you, I saw that yesterday when looking through GitHub and added it to my list of things I wanted to try out. Thanks for your effort! ❀️

  • Oh shoot. Well, then, I'm out of answers for now. /u/ostrich, do you have an idea?

  • There are several scripts working like that. I use lcs (lemmy community seeder). I'm going to switch to something else or make my own, because lcs doesn't handle it well if an instance is overloaded or not available.

  • My instance uses a seeder script that'll do exactly that, but automated. It'll check the most popular communities on the most popular servers and use an account to subscribe to them.

    Boom, /all feed populated.

  • Jerboa is a Webview app? Seems pretty native to me.

    Also, if you're rooted, you could use something like Webview Manager to use a hardened System Webview, which Native Alpha will then use for PWAs.

  • Oh, it was just a couple days ago and I'm not 100% sure if it was that instance. I faintly remember something about a hated episode or entire series? I'm not sure. I'm not a trekkie. I just remember that it gave off powermod vibes to me and I saw that a couple times. Didn't spend any more attention to that, though, because I live by the standard live and let live. As long as nobody on my instance reports anything, I'm not going to act in most cases.

  • Ze Germans are always right..

    Edit: Oh nein, that sounds very wrong. Edit 2: Paradox created. Universe is being destroyed.
