I use Mbin. Used to be on kbin.social, then switched to an Mbin instance when that went under (after trying out both Lemmy and Piefed).

Mbin is a more open alternative to Lemmy which has dedicated support for microblog posts as well, including features like boosting (retweeting) and following. Unlike Lemmy’s focus on the threadiverse only.

I don’t use Lemmy, what’s the issue with search on it? I don’t see any obvious issues with the one on your instance at a glance.

My preference for dark modes is more about design choices than the actual dark/light divide.

Light modes tend to have way less separation between UI elements, with borders and differences in background colors barely visible. It results in them blending together and making it harder to identify different parts of the website than on dark mode. They’re also much more likely to use actual white backgrounds, when dark modes usually use anything other than actual black. I really hate both white and black used as backgrounds, they’re both bad imo.

I do use light modes on websites where it actually looks better than the dark mode design. But sadly those are too rare.

Huh, interesting.

I’m using Mbin and we don’t need it, I just assumed Lemmy was the same.

I never used websites like Twitter and Facebook either. Sure I have looked into stuff like Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, etc. But you’re never going to get me to actually use them, they’re not the kind of social media I’m interested in.

When it comes to the threadiverse, I actually use Mbin, not Lemmy. I did try both Lemmy and Piefed, but Mbin fits my tastes as an Old Reddit user best out of the three.

Does Lemmy need the double space? This isn’t Reddit after all, and it’s the only Markdown implementation I’ve seen with that requirement for line breaks.

I didn’t. My country focuses more on apprenticeships than higher education, and I wasn’t the type to be really ambitious. So I never really explored my options and just went with the flow.

I’m not on Lemmy, but I have the “Active” sort set as my default.

Liability waivers don’t apply outside the US.

reluctance to stop dealing with Russia

Can you name examples?

We did always implement all the EU sanctions afaik.

In case you meant us not using Russian assets to help Ukraine like the EU does, iirc they’re using interest, not the actual assets, for that. Which I remember reading (but don’t have a source right now) isn’t possible for Switzerland due to how they are stored in commercial banks rather than central repositories. And just seizing them would be illegal. It’s not like we don’t want to (though that’s probably a factor too), but more like we can’t.

The Nazi gold is still very much a thing.

The Nazi gold was given back. It’s very much not a thing anymore. And back to the jews I mean, not Germany.

This only applies though if it’s a per-device passkey that uses a private key stored securely that cannot be exported.

If the private key can be exported, it can be stolen and the factors becomes invalid.

But people also store their private key in cloud solutions (some here mentioned doing that) which just makes the factor invalid anyway, since then it’s not device-bound anymore, and it’s the device that verifies your identity with those methods.

Like, what if someone hacks the cloud service storing the passkeys and steals them? Not really any different from storing passwords in a cloud, and that one isn’t called 2FA either.

Does this even make any difference outside of Switzerland (were pirating for personal use is actually legal)?

Upvoted you for disclosing the use of AI, while providing new information no one else in the thread has been able to provide without AI. Due to disclosing it, anyone who doesn’t want AI can skip the comment, but anyone who’d be glad for the information can still get it. It also makes it clear that this is of questionable reliability, which is good enough in this context, but one shouldn’t use this as a source when doing their own medical examinations.

You can turn the AI off in the Notepad settings. Not the case for Paint though.

I’m a bit confused by comments on this topic. Do sovereign countries not have the right anymore to decide their own laws and issue punishment when they’re not followed?

Like, they obviously can’t enforce these fines. This article says as much. The fines can’t be enforced, but if 4chan ignores them, that opens the door for other measures like delisting the site from search engines or blocking access to it from the UK (these two examples are taken from the article). Which are fair measures imo.

Like, to the people saying UK can’t do laws which apply to services which are merely accessible in the UK and have no physical presence there, do you also apply this logic to the GDPR, which works the same way? The US has these laws too, like COPPA iirc. It’s not really something the UK came up with, it’s a bit of a standard with laws like this as far as I know.

I hope a country like switzerland or something lets companies host servers there for europe without enforcing dumb laws from uk/european union.

Not going to happen with Switzerland and EU laws. Being completely surrounded by the EU, we’re really bad with leverage and are already struggling to not have worse and worse deals forced on us. Plus, we have our own Chat Control type law coming up (which is why Proton is leaving). There’s no way we’ll take a stance against EU law.

Like I said, I love Windows 11. I actually prefer its features in general to what I’ve seen of Linux, I prefer its design a lot, and there’s some stuff, like WSA and autohotkey, which simply doesn’t exist on Linux with the same simplicity as far as I know. Can’t use classic shell on linux either, and the start menus I have seen either looked ugly or were more launchers than start menus.
