What are your recommended European backpacks?
  • Mammut for mountaineering and hiking

  • Macron says he will 'open debate' on using French nuclear deterrence to protect Europe
  • I can't take her seriously, the EU needs a strong face and she's not doing it for me. This isn't a woman VS man thing, I thought Merkel was tougher than Scholz to be fair.

  • Me after Mozilla and Proton
  • He's not Swiss, he's from Taiwan

  • Galaxus a Swiss based online retailer and alternative to Amazon
  • Galaxus / Digitec (same company, different name) is the fucking tits. But I was unaware they deliver outside of CH?

    You can honestly get anything on there, except dor maybe specific books, where Amazon remains supreme.

  • Drone captures narwhals using their tusks to explore, forage and play
  • If you think that's wild, have a listen to this podcast about the hundred years of war between humpbacks and orcas. It blew my mind.

  • What does DOGE really mean?
  • Dumbass Overlooking Governmental Existence

  • Testing out the Fediverse, A Breath of Fresh Air
  • There's never the perfect moment, there will always be one more post, or picture, or question you need to post on either Instagram or Reddit. It felt like an addiction for me. When I deleted IG three years ago, I didn't know what to do with my time for weeks. I started taking up old hobbies and reading books again. I never looked back.

    Reddit was harder for me too, I was just getting feeds on things I was really interested in, whilst exchanging ideas with others. I like Lemmy because of it's not as large user base - less distractions.

    Anyways, welcome to the Fediverse! It'll take some adjusting at first, but guarantee you'll overcome it!

  • [qtile] deadbeef music player
  • Soulseek and Musicbee (via wine) re-sparked my love for finding, owning and organizing killer music.

  • Where do you want to live?
  • Agent 47's cabin. For those that don't know, he's the main character from the Hitman games - and yes, his crib is epic.

  • Basically twins?
  • Yoooo, same - love finding new subs, thanks!

  • Will using non-gmail hurt my chance of getting hired?
  • I don't see any reason why it would affect your application(s) in the slightest. A good CV is a good CV. You could have @goatfondler.com for all I care.

  • Musk called Trump ‘a f***ing moron’ at 2020 meeting at the White House
  • Trump is there to serve one function only. Musk won him the election, and now POTUS is Musk's puppet. They don't have to get along, it's a partnership. He famously said, "stealing an isn't difficult, it only requires changing one line of code".

  • What word history origins / facts do you know?

    I was on another thread and got deep into learning about the history of certain words and thought I'd post here. What word history origins / facts do you know?

    I'll start with two that I recently came across:

    • "‘Wer’ (meaning ‘man’) came from Old High German with the Anglo Saxons 1,500 years ago, and was part of Old English. It then became ‘were’ in Middle English and remains as part of werewolf (‘man wolf’) in modern English." (Source: [email protected])

    • "Sculptors in antique Rome could fix mistakes they made by mixing marble dust with wax. If a sculptor was especially gifted and made no mistakes that needed fixing, they would market their art as “sin cera”, which means “without wax”, which is where the word “sincere” comes from." (Source: [email protected])

    Study of TikTok, X 'For You' feeds in Germany finds far-right political bias ahead of federal elections | TechCrunch
  • That's wild actually, love learning the history behind words. Did you know that very fun fact from the top of your head?

  • Das ist so :) I just shortened it, because I wasn't sure english speakers would know the word

  • There's a German game called Wolf. Where two people are the wolf and the rest are the villagers. Each turn the two wolves open their eyes and pick a villager to kill, while the villagers keep their eyes shut. Then everyone guesses who the wolves are. If both wolves are caught, the game is over. Almost always, the wolves win.

    Moral of the story, an informed minority will almost always defeat an uninformed majority.

    I hope it doesn't come to this in Germany..

  • Campaigners urge F-35 fighter jet producing nations to stop supplying Israel
  • Yeah I fully agree, but they do not "produce" the F35. They supply Lockheed Martin with their products, which then incorporates them and "produces" the jets. The article is poorly worded.

  • US judicial logic for protecting the political and economic elite has no bounds
