Person dies after falling into jet engine at Schiphol airport
Reply in thread
Read somewhere else that the engine in that plane lies really close to the ground, and the guy (maintenance worker on his first day) got suckered in. Can't say if any of this is true but that's what I read.

This one is hard to explain to people from the 2020s

I clearly remember when I first got broadband installed, yes faster downloads were nice and all, but what I really cared about at that point was that sweet release from the tiranny of the freaking phone line. Not ever having to worry again about people wanting you to disconnect because they want to use the phone. Connected 24/7, baby! What a revolution, lol

Sadly, that would have to be one huge island.

There are less than 1000 people who can claim to be on Earth for the second or more time. Everyone else is still on their first visit.
More like 24. Low Earth Orbit is just hanging out in the porch. :)

TIL that Edgar Allan Poe became a writer after a failed military career. He enlisted in the US Army in 1827. He failed as a cadet at West Point, and declared his intention to become a writer.
He pulled a reverse Hitler

Reddit CEO: We're Sticking With API Changes, Despite Subreddits Going Dark
I'm so glad they're unwavering in their commitment to foster growth of the fediverse!

If a cat is a meow-meow, a dog is a woof-woof, and a cow is a moo-moo ... then a human is a blah-blah.
Well, at least those other humans

Lemmy has a slur filter regex. In case you're curious, you can see an instance's regex using this url (replacing the domain as needed):
CTRL+F "slur_filter"

What other instances have exciting communities?
Some of the best instances are those focused on a subject. I especially like programming.dev, mander.xyz (science) and slrpnk.net (solar punk movement or "practical utopianism").

That's a nice problem to have, in my kitchen the only option is to "align stuffed to the brim"

FOSS games recommendations
For a serious game I'd recommend UnCiv, imho the best adaptation of Civ to the mobile form, even counting official games. Very frequently updated.
For casual games, I like:
Lona: like Snake from old feature phones, but with circular motions. You'll understand it when you see it. Familiar and fresh gameplay at the same time. Difficult to master and keep beating your highest scores. Very addictive.
Vector Pinball: as it says on the tin, just an honest to dog, simple pinball. Many tables to choose from.
I'm also addicted to Poland can into space, which is a stupid game with bad gameplay, but fun nevertheless. :)

"Subscribe" button looks like plain text and is unclickable?
Reply in thread
It's a bug in Lemmy 0.18.0. You can get around it by clicking the green link with the community name in the sidebar, then the subscribe button will become normal and clickable again.

With the recent hack, there is now irrefutable proof of malicious actors trying to break Lemmy and steal user accounts. Please be careful about entering your password into random Lemmy apps!

Voyager (formerly wefwef) is a self-hostable web app, so it doesn't have this problem. Of course this only means you can inspect the code you're running. You still have to able to understand the code to be sure it's not doing anything malicious.
