Spain here... How and what area are you referring to? Internet, Cell Phone Towers, Everything was down, no one was accepting credit cards in my neighborhood. The only thing they were accepting were IOU's (if you knew the store owner) and Euros.

Yeah, I would recommend having a basic understanding of the language first.

😂

wtf, lol that must be some damn good butta!

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about what federated means. IMHO, it would be really cool if there were an easy way to share and remove a profile across instances that wasn't stored on a server, and it was yours and yours alone to do with what you like.

The city government takes care of the paper work, everyone needs one to get essential services in Spain and it has to be renewed every year or so. (The site below specifies expats, but everyone needs one)

Here is some more information:

https://www.thinkspain.com/information/moving-to-spain/what-is-the-padron-and-how-to-register-on-it

From that site:

If you are an expat living in Spain, it's important to get registered with your local town hall on the padrón.The Padrón is essentially a register of the local population of a town or city in Spain. In Spanish it’s full name is Certificado de Empadronamiento. It is the certificate that confirms your address, your connection with the town/city, and your official residency in that area. This register allows the town hall to track the population and calculate the resources that should be allocated.

Where I live in Spain this is exactly the case, it's called a Padrón, and pretty much everyone adheres to it. Without it it's impossible to do most any business in Spain.

And very soon facebook as well...

This, my altruism has it's limits

Ah cool, I have used them in the past for laptops and my switch, but I didn't realize they also cover appliances and a bunch of other categories.

Great point. Think of how incredible it would be if you could go on line and get manuals to fix any part of anything you own from a PS5 to a Refrigerator, to a Rivan Truck including all the protocols, chip sets, ect... Or just explore them to see how things work, I'm sure a lot of great inventions and ideas came about from people tinkering with and exploring manuals like these. Anymore these are considered "top secret" and you have to reverse engineer anything to figure out how it works. I think this speaks more to the fact that the things you "buy" these days aren't really considered yours. You are borrowing the IP to use for a fee and if it breaks, tough shit. Throw it out and get a new one.

No big surprise here, stars/star reviews are in general completely worthless. I don't really even bother with them anymore.

heavy as boulders?

This is to bad, I really enjoyed this game one of the better platformers to come out in a long time.

Great interview, thanks

By far one of the most interesting articles I've seen on Lemmy so far, thanks for the link

I lived in peace and humanity first Berkeley, Ca for 10 years a bastion of liberalism taken to the extreme. For 10 years I voted repeatedly in local elections for more affordable housing and zoning changes to make it easier to develop taller buildings and rezone areas for housing development. In the time I was there I think I can count on 1 hand the number of apartment and housing developments I saw being erected. Every damn election people voted against zoning changes and shot them down. We eventually had kids and guess what, there was no place for us to raise a family. So we moved out of state. Californians have nobody but themselves to blame for the homelessness problem the NIMBYism there is to the stratosphere. They shit talk about places like Texas, but guess what? At least there people have a place to live, which is more than I can say for the majority of cities in California.
