    lemmy.world does not allow the use of vpn to post. vpn is basic internet hygiene. do not go to lemmy.world if you care about that, our you will not be able to post.

    you can join any federated instance instead.

    one day later edit: i took my information from this post of a lemmy.world admin: https://lemmy.world/comment/12079632

    I was made aware that users are able to post on lemmy.world while using a vpn. maybe their stance has changed?

    aside from that, try to avoid joining the biggest instance and join smaller, federated instances instead. this reduces load and avoids centralization.



  • At speeds above ~150 km/h, even on a well-organized highway, you won’t be able to control your surroundings and have to rely on sheer luck to survive, unless you’re a professional race pilot on an empty road. Also, unless the car is equipped with special gear for improved road grip, it will become uncontrollable because it will literally start to hover a little.

    sorry but no. maybe i am biased since my sole experience is driving the german autobahn, but i drive well beyond 200km/h on a regular basis, which i consider travel speed when the road is not too crowded. cars that could go faster than 250km/h are usually limited to 250km/h. traveling at that speed is loud and a bit stressful, since the difference between you and other cars traveling at lower speeds becomes too high. they will not see you coming before switching lanes and braking distances are very high. but cars dont randomly switch lanes unless tying to pass others cars and you can predict these situations and slow down.

    you will not hover, you can control your car normally and the only required luck is to not have others actively try to kill themselfes. you dont need to be a professional race pilot and dont need special gear (of course cars can easily be underequipped for these speeds, but you dont need special gears.

    do you mean speeds above 250km/h or speeds above 150mp/h? if that was just a typo i would argue a lot less because those speeds stop being fun to drive, but are also accessible for normal drivers with normal street cars (with enough power of course, but you see plenty of those cards on the average parking lot in front of any supermarket)






  • Disclaimer: have not played in a few years. So this answer is only true for a state of game from before the mistlands update (November/December 2022)

    You will have a lot of chests with a lot of stuff. Inventory management is part of the game. You can not carry metal (heavy and important) through portals and are forced to transport them yourself. You will have limited inventory space. You will basically move through tiers of materials (woods, metals etc), but low tier materials will never be obsolete, so you need to store a lot.

    That being said: it is all worth it. Your stuff can be destroyed you drop your stuff on death and it makes moving through dangerous parts of the map a lot more exciting and challenging.


  • more importantly: different communites, different rules. If i want serious discussion on a topic, i can visit the community that enforces serious discussion. if i want some fun with it and see memes and shitpost comments to that topic, i go to the other community.

    but i can not have a serious discussion post if it is enriched with memes from an other community.

    i LOVE getting an overview of cross-posts. this allows me to learn about other communities, how active they are and how important or wide-spread a topic might be.



  • i got a pixel 8a used for cheap. installing grapheneOS was a breeze and took less than 10 minutes following their guide (i watched a youtube video in advance as well, but did not factor in the time.)

    installed f-droid and aurora and have access to all apps i need, avoiding what i need to avoid :)

    i still have my one plus with google services and apps like whatsapp that i will slowly transition away from. my biggest problem is that i can easily switch to communication apps like threema and signal (and have years ago) - but the sad truth is that many of my contacts are still on whatsapp



  • back when reddit was not just a meme shithole, karma was used to motivate people to post quality content. 90% of the stuff posted on reddit nowadays would get downvoted into oblivion back then. typo in the title or image caption? downvoted. repost? downvoted. low effort? downvoted.

    but with growing popularity the flat number of (usually young) users grew that hat other quality standards grew and these kind of faults were ignored. meme became bigger, and there was a general shift in reddits userbase. they changed the algorith to calculate your score and suddenly you could get just so.much.karma from cheap posts.

    some communities became very strict in their content to avoid shitposts. some used karma to prevent trolls participating in their subs. nowadays high karma accounts are being sold as they can be used to participate in subreddits with a high reputation (due to participation limitations) and upvoting/downvoting and commenting on certain post can very heavily skew its visibility and impression of the discussed topic on “neutral” users.

    so yea, karma used to be a good thing (good content motivation), became a bad thing (karmawhoring), which was still utilized for good things (participation limitation), which led to even worse things (karmafarming bots).

    lemmy will have to deal with this sooner or later. there will be bots brigading communities on certain topics and there need to be some kind of indicators to distinguish honest users and trolls.




  • ich bin leider streaming-opfer und bin auf der suche nach alternativen. nicht-us streaming dienste gibt es zwar, aber ich möchte gerne weiter die inhalte gucken, die ich gerne gucke. die find ich auf keinen der alternativen.

    ich war immer großer fan der piratierie, allerdings war es damals (als jugendlicher) eine frage von “kauf ich den film auf dvd, oder saug ich ihn mir einfach?” und die antwort war fast immer klar und einfach. neben der preisersparnis war es einfach viel bequemer und schneller kurz die segel zu setzen, statt sich (vom dorf) in die stadt zu mediamarkt/saturn zu begeben.

    nun hat sich das ganze leider gedreht, und für mich ist DAS verkaufsargument der streamdienste eben der absolut unumständliche zugang zu inhalten, die ich sehen will. heute hab ich auch das geld, das ich für diese bequemlichkeit gerne bereit bin, auszugeben. die jüngsten entwicklungen sind allerdings nicht zu ignorieren, und ich will trumps bückstücken nicht mein geld in den rachen schieben, während sie trumps schwanz im arsch stecken haben.

    welche alternativen hab ich? bleibt mir nichts anderen übrig, als mir kodi aufzusetzen und mich vor meinen film-abenden selbst um meine inhalte zu kümmern? mich haben die letzten 20 jahre leider so zerstört, dass ich heute nicht sagen kann, was ich morgen gucken möchte (ausnahme sind natürlich serien und shows, bei denen man sich alle folgen im vorfeld besorgen kann). das ist zwar ein problem, an dem ich auch arbeiten kann, hierum soll es aber nicht gehen.

    gibt es empfehlungen?
