And even though there is higher quantity of discussion, the quality might vary heavily.

Nope. Communities are central to Lemmy. You can of course edit your own profile description if you want.

Javier Milei might have something to do with it.

Well, from a technical standpoint I am more prepared as an instance admin compared to Summer 2023. We’re running on powerful dedicated hardware after all.

There are so many, but the first song that came to my mind is “Dogman” by King’s X. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYx50Y5hkKA

So heavy and massive sound, the vocal harmonies are a cherry on top. King’s X is among the world’s most underrated bands, even though many thought it invented grunge.

If parents have pedagogic experience in teaching, understand the possible downsides and how to mitigate them, then I can understand homeschooling. Otherwise I’d recommend normal schooling.

Germany’s user count is nice.

• Yet another racism scandal in the Finnish parliament, PM Petteri Orpo gets to clean the mess again
• Still no peace deal in Ukraine
• Yet another impeachment attempt on Trump that goes as well as the previous ones
• Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)
• Some Big Tech social media platform falls victim to enshittification, leading to a refugee wave to the Fediverse
• The civil war among Republicans continues, maybe leads into abandoning Trump?

Well, it wasn’t intended for kids but I watched it regardless, same with many other movies on my list.

Basically many movies from the 90s Disney Renaissance era:

• Hercules
• Aladdin
• Pocahontas
• Tarzan
• Mulan

And of course the Pixar movies from that era:

• Toy Story
• A Bug’s Life

James Bond flicks:

• GoldenEye
• Tomorrow Never Dies
• The World is Not Enough
• Die Another Day

Other movies:

• The Mask
• Home Alone 1 & 2
• Ace Ventura
• Spirited Away
• The first Pokemon movie
• The Matrix 1–3
• Kummeli Kultakuume
• Pahat Pojat
• Pitkä Kuuma Kesä
• South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
• Jurassic Park
• Jurassic Park: The Lost World

Note that several of these movies weren’t for kids, but I got to watch them regardless.

I don’t think libertarianism works, it relies naively on how the free market is omnipotent, how freedom is everything and how having a small government is somehow good. There are no countries that are entirely libertarian, that also tells a lot about the ideology’s applicability in practice. A brilliant book about why libertarianism doesn’t work is a book “A Libertarian Walks into a Bear”. In the book, a group of libertarians decides to take over the small town of Grafton in New Hampshire en masse as part of their “Free Town Project”. Of course this group cares neither about the town’s original inhabitants nor their rights. What’s the result? They hollow out pretty much everything from the library, to the school, the fire department and the police. No regard is given to any laws on hunting or food disposal, and that lures in bears, who turn so aggressive that they invade people’s homes. In addition to bears, sex offenders and all kinds of criminals are also lured into Grafton. It’s pretty entertaining book, I recommend it.

Another reason why I dislike libertarianism is that it can function as a gateway to fascism. This is a known phenomenon. Several key figures in the alt-right for example used to be libertarians. I stumbled into a clip from some American Libertarian Party convention where Richard Spencer was with Ron Paul. I had to rub my eyes a bit.

This is a message board platform, period.

Let’s not get excited too early!

Sopuli is hosted on Hetzner, so no problems whatsoever.

Perhaps the spammer got tired and many admins stepped up their game. As an instance admin I remember having to remove helluva many posts featuring Nicole. Hopefully anything like that will not happen again for a long time.

All I’m getting is an error screen that usually appears when a Lemmy instance has technical problems. So it blew its load!

Pies? Rather simple.

I would travel a looong way on foot to Helsinki and the parliament house. Then I would attack and devour Petteri Orpo (our prime minister) and Riikka Purra (our minister of finance).

The plan? Enshittification.

Dang it! Lemm.ee was formed in summer 2023 alongside the other instances that became the Lemmyverse’s biggest, sad to see it go. Thank you for everything!
