Thank you for the link, had a conversation the other day talking about what our game plan is when search engines become even more useless. I feel we really go full circle with this one.

Here is an active codeberg repo curating german Amazon alternatives: https://codeberg.org/phranck/Amazon-Alternativen

Oh, I have never heard of that. Also forgot that he was still around when OW2 launched. Still believe it sucks big time to see a project go down this route especially after being such a big success. It might not be dead, but it definitely is just a shell of its past.

Overwatch is close to being a decade old btw.

It’s so unfortunate what they did to Overwatch, wonder how Jeff Kaplan and the original Team feels about all that.

It is. After development broke down in 2022 development is more active than it ever was. https://blogs.igalia.com/mrego/servo-2025-stats/ I have a binary on my machine and use it for light browsing every now and then just to check in how things are going. Its “usable” for that but would not use it for banking even if it worked.

To be fair I have only focused on the positives. We also have our fair share of empty high rise apartment buildings nobody can afford and a district which gets totally neglected and has not seen any bigger investments in years.

Love the question! Urban infrastructure. At least in my city. I get super stocked whenever I see a new construction site. Not only because I get the feeling that the tax money is actually being used but also because these projects are more often than not really cool. Wider pedestrian spaces, third places and just safer more pleasant areas. Sometimes they only do it half heartedly and didn’t thought about something but the direction is the right one. Of course this is easily done especially considering how hostile they made city’s after ww2, i’m still happy about it though. :)

Some relatives still have it, it’s filled to the brim with advertisements which i guess if the catch. I mean the web interface is, you don’t have it when using imap of course. It’s still a dealbreaker for me.

Not really from the grounds up as it uses WebKit.

Used it very shorty on a mac, but as it really is very similar to safari there is little to no reason to use it.

On a linux maybe, but i think i will stay on firefox until servo is usable. (Which is actually being made from the grounds up)

wait, why did we automate all of our work again?! to have to work extra hour?!?! the me math’s not mathing man :(

(aware that this isn’t really directly related to the article, just please lemmy be >:( )

The other day i have noticed a similar easter egg when typing in “podman”. It’s interesting as podman is fairly niche.

Just today I’ve met somebody using a distro which is based on debian testing and they’ve been using it for years as well. (Do not remember the distros name though)

Why did you stop using testing? If you don’t mind me asking.

Thank you for the input.

Just wrote the maintainers for the sway packages about this! But will probably just keep it like it is for now though.

Thank you for the reply!

I found this guide: https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/ Which is not a step by step guide but the overall process of how things end up on there. I read that I should contact the unstable maintainers beforehand so I did just that :)

Youtube’s alternatives looking really sad :( Love me some Invidious but an actual alternative would be so cool. Peertube is that on paper but missing content aside i think the UI is really holding them back it’s just not inviting at all.

Me too!

Also playing the hidden gems I have missed back then. Its such a great system I have it everywhere I go (If they release a smaller steam deck 2 like the switch lite id consider switching to that). Even have that little step-counter on me all the time :)

Still have my R4i card but the microSD card died in the middle of backing up the save states. Mostly sad about my Wario Ware: DIY games I have made ;( but will try to give it some professional, have heard they can do some magic there if I am lucky.

I did hack it now though, the advantages are small when you already own a flash cardridge but love to be able to boot straight into my ebook reader and camera when I press a button on boot.

Whoa! I actually have not finished it myself, but am currently in the process of it. I love everything about it, its so much fun.

What system are you playing it on?

Man… :( please don’t do that. That’s super boring. They were doing so great pushing people to use Linux.

I have to set this up right away, that sounds exactly like what i’m needing. Thanks for sharing :)

Actually just hopped from arch (btw.). It was surprisingly stable considering how cutting edge it is. But I tinkered too much with it and just want something with less moving parts and focus on actually working with it.
