Interestingly, I got this notification just now! But it does work :-)

Excellent, thank you!

Hello! I don't speak much german yet, but I would be happy if you would allow federation with this instance (mander.xyz)!

I also noticed that you are federating with and linked to pleroma.schuerz.at. What does this mean? Is there a way for lemmy to communicate with a pleroma instance via activity pub?

As a scientist, for me this gap was bridged by doing a Masters/PhD.

In my field, learning involves performing experiments using very expensive equipment and potentially very expensive failures. One also needs to spend a lot of time doing things that will build their own value (like reading papers and manuals and performing failed experiments) without necessarily producing a valuable output in the short term. It is difficult to do these things on your own without help and financial support from academia or industry. One would need to be in a very privileged position to be able to bridge the gap on their own.

I moved to the Netherlands for my studies from a place with zero cycle lanes, and my answer is absolutely yes. I think that cities should should have more cycle lanes!!

I am testing out Obsidian at the moment and I am liking it. I am still trying to figure out what the best way to sync between devices. At the moment I have found this script and Syncthing, but I am still only using it locally. Their phone app is still in closed beta, so probably not the best choice if you want to access notes from your phone.

With a culture like this it makes sense that they would want to protect their rights to own a gun. If receiving their first gun is a special milestone during their youth, and the person grows up shooting guns with family and friends, I can see how guns can become part someone's identity.

Most of my life I have lived in countries were guns are banned, so from my perspective it is easy to say "No, of course that I don't want it to be easier for the people around me to own guns!". But I can appreciate that it is different when you talk about removing a freedom that is accessible at the moment.

Federation is currently off for that instance, is that on purpose?

You can turn it on by adding:

federation

I prefer bow and arrow in the shooting range and a camera for wild animals.

As for control. I am sure that there are people who have very good reasons for owning a gun, and I do not like blanket bans. I am in favor of a process that allows a citizen to obtain a gun legally. However, it is my understanding that it is easier to obtain a gun than a diving certificate in the US, and that to me seems like an incredibly low bar.

When you do delete your account you have 30 days to restore it. I think that their reasoning behind this is that it gives you time to regret your decision and come back.

But you can use the psychology of this feature in a different way: Delete your account while giving yourself explicit permission to restore it if you need it within the next 30 days. I did this and, well, it's truly deleted now :-)

You can also export all of your photos to another cloud storage service automatically.

I find particle physics to be quite intimidating with its infinite number of paths involving a zoo of particles doing an infinite number of things, but this is clear! Very cool, thanks for sharing

Mod logs should be public by default on reddit so that there can be more transparency about issues like this...

What's the article that they are banning?
