"Spargeltarzan", which is German for "asparagus Tarzan". Basically someone who is physically weak, but tall and lanky.

I also like "Lauch", which just translates to "leek", the veggie. Oh, and "Bohnenstange", which means bean stalk. We do seem to have quite a few vegetable-related insults in German, now that I think of it...

To be fair, 3% of traffic missing is not going to be their downfall. They managed to rid themselves of virtually all third party clients in one swoop and had to trade in only a fraction of their monthly engagement - they'll sell it as streamlining.

Well the resistance isn't without reason:

Depends, largely on how motivated people are to identify you.

If you infrequently torrent a few games and movies, using a VPN will probably be enough to deter most of the law firms specializing in churning out copyright notices. They go for the low hanging fruit first, aka the users without a VPN.

If you on the other hand were to engage in torrenting highly illegal stuff, and were therefore to become a target of state law enforcement, you'd be in a whole different kind of trouble. A VPN would likely not be sufficient.

I think there is a lot of pride to be conservative coming into play here. Hard to explain, but I sometimes see this in my family. They proudly present their ignorance to show off their conservativism, hold it in front of them like a banner. When I inquire a bit deeper their views are often a bit more reasonable, it just feels like average boomers wanting to be cool by flaunting their ignorance, as weird as this sounds.

Started with LastPass, used it for 10 years. Switched to Bitwarden a while ago, would never go back.

I think threads being able to make content that's a threat to them invisible to their users by "unethically defederating" is exactly what the op is talking about. What they were likely referring to is this: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Doesn't matter that users from other instances can still see threads content. It's about threads accumulating the majority of users due to better infrastructure and then silencing smaller instances they deem a threat to them by defederating. It's only been a few hours and they've crossed 30 million users.

Finde die App auch super. Aber auch da könnte yt der Werbefreiheit den Hahn abdrehen

Yay! Ging echt schnell, freue mich ^^

So fluffy! <3

That's my experience too. Often when I talk to people they have pretty moderate or left-leaning views that would fit well in any of our more left-leaning parties. However the majority of them still votes for our biggest conservative party, which openly promises and does the opposite of what they claim they would want in a conversation. Frustrating.

Ich denke die nervige Werbung hat Methode - ist bei nicht-Premium Spotify auch so. Aber 12 Euro ist einfach zu happig für Youtube.

Hm, habe ein paar Mal versucht mit Project Zomboid warm zu werden, aber... In einem Spiel, in dem jeder Zombie Biss, (und mit einer Wahrscheinlichkeit von 25% sogar Kratzer) den sicheren Tod bedeuten, finde ich es frustrierend wie unbeholfen die Nahkampfmechanik ist. Wenn ich mal überlege dass zwei dutzend Leute 8 Jahre daran gearbeitet haben finde ich die grundlegenden Spielmechaniken sollten so langsam mal stehen...

Vielleicht spiele ich das Spiel auch falsch. Habe es mit Schleichen und Stealth versucht, aber wenn die Zombies dich einmal gesehen haben wissen sie immer wo du bist, Blickkontakt brechen bringt öfter mal nichts selbst wenn du dich duckst und schleichst.

Was ist dein Eindruck von dem Spiel?

And he has a very boopable snoot!

Letzter Stand war glaube ich dass die unter-30-Jährigen nur 12% der Wahlberechtigten stellen... Selbst wenn jeder einzelne wählen geht reißt du da nichts. "Die Partei" hat mal einen provokanten Spot zu "Letztwählern" rausgebracht: "Horst entscheidet über eine Zukunft, die er selbst nicht mehr miterleben wird"...

Love the title ^^. And she looks about as grumpy as she's pretty! Pretty grumpy...

So round and fluffy! I miss my kitty...

^^ Handsome, happy, huggable.

Too scared to boop the snoot... Would she nip?
