Does this mean I can stop stuffing my face with olives now
  • About point 4, there is this really weird phenomenon that people going one way or the other replicate the same results without consciously changing the way you eat. Americans eating "unhealthy" in Europe get better and Europeans "eating healthy" in the US get worse.

  • Issues for my particular usecase

    I have been using MessagEase for a pretty long while now and it was a great choice for polyglots like me because I could handle all my 11 languages on one keyboard. Unfortunately Thumbkey doesn't have that on the fly flexibility yet. Options like ad hoc adding letters and a compose key and combining diacritics are vital for me. Happy to help to implement this, otherwise I might even fork and rework if I find the energy...

    Are trams that good (genuine question)?
  • A bit of a history of trams: they existed before the modern electric bus, as horse trams, because they could carry more people. Most tram networks have been removed since the introduction of the bus. Modern trams however can increase capacity a lot, and even small trams can fix hard problems like in the Lisbon inner city. Many modern trams are somewhere on the light rail spectrum and are both faster and often have more dedicated right of way, so they don't get stuck in traffic. Understanding this, you can see how you can often also fix the same issues with dedicated bus lanes, but a tram track also fixes refueling properly. A third option is of course a trolley bus or a trolley/battery hybrid. Every location needs something that fits the local circumstances.

  • how did we survive threads earlier this year?
  • As far as I know there is no intention to have Bluesky be proprietary in any way in the long run, just the philosophy is different and closer to P2P networks. For example migration is a big element of the design, unlike Mastodon. But at the moment it's still being built, hence why it looks much more proprietary for now.

  • how did we survive threads earlier this year?
  • Threads still hasn't actually fully connected with the fediverse, they are working on that, and until yesterday they weren't live in Europe yet, so it wasn't a real alternative for many people. That is changing drastically.

    This post sounds to me exactly like people's reactions to Brexit. They were like "see, it's not to bad" for the whole time when nothing was implemented yet. And then it actually went live, and everything went to shit. Keep an eye on when things actually go live the way they plan.

  • The reactions from the kid and barber 🥹
  • Americans still feel it's weird, while I grew up with almost only Turkish barbershops in the Netherlands and here it's mostly Indians. The only barbershop I went to in the US was a black barbershop and it was fully worth it. Biggest difference is that they take the time for you, you can have a nice chat etc. Definitely a lot more expensive than in Europe though.

    WYD / JMJ Lisbon 2023 thread

    I'm not catholic but this seems the best place to have a thread about the big event coming up in the city where I live. Any here on Lemmy etc preparing to come to Lisbon?
