I just rechecked the strange reports I remembered, and in both cases we had a local user being remote moderator, so this seems like the most likely cause.

Yes, this specifically happens with remote communities, for local communities the instance admins see all the reports in Lemmy so that would be normal.

I am not 100% sure if this is related to other local users being moderators of remote communities, but it is the closest guess as the alternative would just random reports being forwarded to us instance admins with no relation to our instance at all.

It looks fine as in the default Piefed theme, yes. But they used to have a very nice custom theme.

Their theme broke with the update?

You really love rage baiting moderators, right?

Tl;dr: “you will get more conservative with age” 🤦

It is one thing to self-examine one’s own realistic agency in this world, but another thing to fall into a self-defeating mindset like that.

Well, there is also an aspect of cognitive dissonance involved that makes people ignore or reject certain notions if they feel helpless about them.

It is actually a feature as far as bureocracy and diplomacy is concerned. If a language is the non-native language for more or less everyone, no country has an advantage in negotiations due to rethorical skills and so on.

And besides, the only other real options would be French or German, and really no one wants that.

Currently in university or so, and there is a large countryside vs. city gap.

In my experience there has been a relatively recent massive improvement in English skills by the younger generation. Anyone 35+ is still very much behind though. As an elder Millenial myself, it actually caught me on a wrong foot carreerwise as being able to speak English well is no longer considered to be a selection criteria for many jobs, because so many can do it and it is assume a given.

I am sceptical of this… most likely the definition is slightly different between the countries and that causes most of the difference. Like for example one country might count car accidents that happen during working hours into it, while another one might not consider that a workplace accident.

Yeah, everytime this topic comes up I ask if they personally had such an experience or have personally witnessed one, and it is always only some 3rd person story from social media or so. Truely terrifying how people can be manipulated like that.

Probably? I have not tried it myself to be honest.

I am not sure how intercompatible the modules are. It might be that you have to chose between them.

It is a modular system that includes a module for microblogging. But it can also be turned into something else.

The amazing part is that most of them will strongly refute this and believe that they are resisting against “the system” and are being oppressed.

Recent models run surprisignly well on CPUs if you have sufficient regular RAM. You can also use a low VRAM GPU and offload parts to the CPU. If you are just starting out and want to play around I would try that first. 64gb system RAM is a good amount for that.

So you answered your own question? Because some of that is described differently in the video.

The sodium-ion performance info in that video seems a bit off. Afaik they are mainly cheaper and with more sustainable materials, but a bit less performant than lithium ion and thus not that suitable for increasing the range of EVs etc.

But still, for cheaper small electric city vehicles and stationary applications they will probably be quite nice.

China has a bunch of government aligned quasi-monopolists that try to expand into the European market. What you are suggesting is basically the same model, just with European ones, which is at most marginally better and will likely be much worse (I am old enough to remember when this was still a common model in western Europe, and it sucked big time).

Europe isn’t China. It would be pointless to turn Europe into a quasi-China to prevent Chinese influence on Europe. Just like it is pointless to create European tech giants as a counter to US American ones.
