Oh, I meant it more in the sense how archeologists/historians often say something was used for some religious or ritual purposes when they can’t come up with a better explanation. See for example Stonehenge or roman dodecahedrons. There was also the idea for an atomic priesthood which would be charged with keeping the knowledge about nuclear waste sites.

man-made structure with no obvious purpose

Probably something religious.

Oh, to have a banana bed, a man can only dream of such luxury. Glad to see her doing well.

Hacker News is currently drowning in “I did something with AI” posts.

When I look at some generic instance’s unfiltered feed all I see is posts about USA/Trump. I can see how this might deter a lot of Europeans who are looking for alternatives to Reddit.

Should be most of the Lemmy instances, but it’s missing the 2k monthly active users on PieFed.

that quality seems to keep getting better and better

It doesn’t. It’s the same people who keep posting the same lame memes as always.

I’m presented the same shit over and over again.

Do you sort by active? Use hot or scaled instead.

Problem with falling in love is that it can and will backfire and then the depression comes back twice as bad.

I use trakt.tv for series, but they lose data every once in a while. Suddenly an episode of some series shows up as not watched. A few years ago they lost a little more than just that. Fortunately I also have a text file for series, but I only track seasons in there instead of episodes.

I have a text file.

I’d been looking for Reddit alternatives for years, but most of them were full of sparse content I wasn’t interested in and users who seemed like assholes.

Before a lot of people from Reddit came to Lemmy it was the same here.

The Dutch centuries ago called their language Diets/Duuts/Duits which means something like Germanic.

No, it means something like “people” or “of the people”.

Es schneit, du schaufelst keinen Schnee, der Schnee schmilzt, es friert, wir haben eine 2cm dicke Eisschicht auf dem Gehweg.

It’s not just the monetisation. If you turn a hobby into a job you end up having to do a lot of stuff you don’t actually want to do or care about, because the people you do it for care about these things.

Florence comes from the Latin name of the city Florentia.

It’s an 11% increase, that’s huge. Floppies weren’t just used to store programs, also to store files.

And/or they get bought by the competition.

Because Lemmy is already full with murican politics.
