I remember reading that the first two don’t allow free discussion about Zionism (one bans a lot of anti-Zionist speech, the other has an explicit rule against all Zionism), so I avoid posting there; I think communities that aren’t specifically ideological should allow a wide range of free speech. The third one is AFAICT better, so are !europa@lemmy.world and !europe@sopuli.xyz.

There is also !EuropeanUnion@europe.pub for things that have to do with the European Union, which is somewhat different from the continent of Europe. The community this thread is about isn’t explicit whether it is about Europe or the EU.

I subscribed to the new community this thread is about; but then again, your comment does kinda make me think that there are already communities like !freesoftware@lemmy.zip or !libreculture@lemmy.ca or !right2repair@discuss.tchncs.de which should cover a lot of the topics that may be discussed there. Let’s see whether anything unique ends up actually talked about there. :P

That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.

Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

Has it ever not been?

something something two things are infinite something something universe and human stupidity something something not sure about universe

Also similar: !general@lemmy.world

I use it all the time in web browsers (Firefox/LibreWolf can do it even on Linux). I learned to use computers on Windows (mainly XP), so as far as I’m concerned, that has “always” been a thing, so why would I not use it.

Former Windows users who expect that to start scrolling. I remember that happening to me when I was new to Linux.

I have long found it more useful what the middle mouse button does on Windows (start scrolling) and hope that becomes widely adopted, even outside browsers, on Linux one day too. Good step in that direction.

Agreed. This is a potential problem, but not an unsolvable one.

I’ve recently said this in another thread, and I’ll repeat it here: this problem would easily be solved by changing content liability laws (e.g. section 230 in the US) so that anything recommended by an algorithm counts as speech by the platform and the platform is liable for it if it turns out to be illegal (e.g. libellous).

That would mean that you could operate a forum or wiki or Lemmy or Mastodon instance without worrying about liability, but Facebook, YouTube, TikTok would have to get rid of the feature where they put “things that might interest you” that you didn’t actually choose to follow into your feed.

None of that has anything to do with anyone’s age.

If headlines were honest: France seeks to prohibit early teenagers from social interaction with peers unless they are good at doing it offline.

If I hadn’t had the Internet in the years before my 15th birthday, this would in my retrospective opinion have amounted to near torture.

Can we finally get politicians who grew up with the Internet into power? How many more years must people the age of Macron be allowed to make these kinds of decisions? 😟😡

It did the same thing for me in LibreWolf, but worked in Falkon.

What would you replace the taskbar with?

not very accurate, you can still install Windows graphically, and you could install Linux either on a console or with a GUI both in 2005 and now

obviously it’s a remote service, so you don’t directly control it unless you run it yourself, but the website links to this repo https://github.com/gugray/rss-parrot so the code does seem to be available under a free license (I have not tried to run it myself)

https://rss-parrot.net/

This puts any RSS feed into your Mastodon feed.

Assuming “EU” means “European Union” (the acronym can stand for other things too): if you don’t put “Europe” or “European Union” in the title or sidebar, no one who searches for these things is ever going to find this community.

also there is already !EuropeanUnion@europe.pub

The article is from May; has anything important related to this happened in the last few days, or why are you posting this now?
