**this seems to be the theme of the season mateys**

To everyone who is saying they use adblock and haven't seen this yet: YouTube probably rolled this out to a smaller percentage of users first. It allows them to understand how this change impacts user behaviour, e.g. how many users comply and disable their adblocker, how many more users close YouTube than usual etc. Most tech companies do this type of analysis before releasing a high impact change to all users.

They are actually locked. In the Netherlands bikes usually have ring locks attached to the frame that lock just the rear wheel. It's way more convenient, you can quickly lock your bike and pop into a store. It's of course less safe, so especially in larger cities and at train stations people do lock their bike to something.

Is Lemmy's code base "good"?

Web sockets are meant for applications where it's important that you receive updates fast in a push fashion. E.g. collaborative editors like Google docs or a chat application. To scroll Lemmy or open a specific Lemmy post you don't need that at all. You can just fetch the data once and have users refresh manually if for example they want to fetch the latest comments on a post. Using websockets for that type of application just puts unnecessary strain on the server.

Helemaal mee eens. Het conflict in Gaza is super polariserend en heeft bovendien niets met Nederland te maken. Er zijn zat andere conflicten in de wereld waar we ook bij stil zouden kunnen staan tijdens dodenherdenking, maar daar hoor je niemand over. Gaza krijgt altijd disproportioneel veel aandacht. Dodenherdenking moet ten eerste Nederlanders verbinden in het herdenken dat onze huidige vrijheid en veiligheid een hoge prijs hebben gehad. Zeker nu wereldwijd democratieën onder druk staan is het belangrijk om ons daar niet van af te laten leiden met polariserende themas.
