For my canton it’s 500chf annually

Ah, I see why that's way better. Here in Aargau it's 2700, feels like you might as well get the GA at that point.

Dialup? In 2006? Pretty sure we'd had ADSL for well over five years by then, pretty sure everyone had switched where I lived (not USA).

No lol having more population makes this stuff easier via economy of scale, try again

Uh, the GA transport pass is more like $3900, if you pay per year, not 6k. And a lot of people get discounts from their jobs or other things.

East Germany is sadly still full of Nazis

There's an alternate history out there where Pearl Harbor didn't happen and the US either never took part in WW2 or else entered far too late to make a difference and the Axis powers ultimately won.

Seems unlikely since either way the Soviets did the bulk of the work of defeating the Nazis.

"30 below [zero]" expected

I'm assuming this is something I need to do once and never again.

I interpreted it as needing to be part of the build chain

House of Leaves, it's an experimental horror novel that was famous for having crazy typesetting (and it's also very good, independently). It's about a house that's bigger on the inside than the outside and how that drives people insane.

No, I don't think that's sustainable, nor is it sustainable to act as if it were true. Given the lack of resources we have compared to Google or Meta et al., the only way to make it work is to stick with something for the long run, and bake in protections in both the technology and the organisational structure. Being opensource and federated goes a long way there, there's no real reason why something not for profit would have to enshittify. But people won't put in the effort to keep building it if they think that's inevitable.

It's not "again" for anything you've written in this comment thread.

And you specifically suggested that these numbers can't be extrapolated, i.e. that they are not a trend. If it's indeed a trend for Lemmy to have 200% yoy growth then yeah, I'd think that'd be pretty successful.

Successful or not, it isn't back to baseline

Lemmy was at 15k MAU, went up to over 125k and now is 1/3 of that.

So it increased by 200%

People from Berlin call themselves Berliners, nobody thinks they mean the donut.

If you use arch (btw) it still does

If you don't keep a device for at least 5 years you have no real basis to talk about its issues though, like of course it's fine when it's basically brand new the whole time you have it

Cars' buttons need to be used while preferably not looking at them, that's a pretty different situation to a smartphone

For everyone? I agree, that's silly. It's definitely suitable for more than the tiny fraction of people who use it though

This reminds me of something that would be in Flight
