In German we call that a “Schildbürgerstreich”. Yeah, no kidding, we have a word especially for things like that.
It refers to a foolish or absurd act, often involving a misunderstanding or misapplication of logic, typically in a humorous context - especially around buildings. The term comes from the “Schildbürger” tales, which depict the antics of the supposedly foolish citizens of the fictional town of Schildburg.
Edit: the fictional town was called Schila - thanks to diplomjodler3 for pointing it out!
1·1 month agoThey could also buy a used Pixel to avoid giving money to Google. I suspect that’s the reason for the no-Google-rule.
They used to but stopped AFAIK. I am not completely sure but that’s what I read when the Mozilla Foundation report came out. The other reply said to India so maybe my information is not completely accurate…
Mozilla Foundation did a deep dive into this. And the results where abysmal. The only brands not completely horrifying where Renault/Dacia because they are European and only serve the European market so they have to follow GDPR.
9·4 months agoI used it. It was a nice idea but at least for me it got really weird over time. The pics I got were mostly blurred messes. Maybe it was an error on my side but it kind of spoiled the fun after a while.
Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t see the date.
Thank you! I didn’t know the details. A recent article I read (about the hate the dev of the bridge received) only mentioned Mastodon.
And bluesky?
Unpopular opinion maybe but it is / will be a federated platform (whether we like it or not) and there even is a bridge to Mastodon, I think.
The App “Nine - Mail & Calendar” used to be quite good for Exchange. I used it years ago and was quite happy. Currently it has only 3.5 stars on the Play Store so I don’t know how good it still is.
Back when I used it I checked it for privacy and considered it save. No idea about the current status though. It is not FOSS.
Okay, there’s one thing I don’t get with Bluesky: user handles usually are @[name].bsky.social. But with the bridge they end with brid.gy. The account of Ben Stiller is @benstiller.redhour.com. Are those domains different instances? I thought that’s not possible (yet?). How does one get a different domain in the handle?
