The way that always works is to send a message to an admin.

In the case of .world, there are many alternatives that probably work better, though. Matrix and email are probably their preferred channels for this.

You can see those alternatives around halfway along the sidebar on the right, if you go to lemmy.world with a browser. And the admins list is at the very bottom of said sidebar.

I get my laptops from a city bureau.

They sell old laptops of Helsinki public servants. The hard drives are very thoroughly emptied and Ubuntu is installed. It’s a kind of a workshop for unemployed people, with the purpose of keeping them used to the concept of work. They get a tiny bit of extra money atop their unemployment benefit by working there.

This has all kinds of weird side effects, like how the actual buying process runs. Once you’ve decided what you want to buy, they print something akin to a receipt to you, and you need to walk some 100 metres or so to a wood workshop where they have a worker with a permission to handle money. You give them the receipt and money, and they give you back a other receipt to prove you have paid. And then you take that back to the shack made of corrugated metal that works as the computer shop, give the receipt to the guy there and carry your laptop home.

At one point they were selling old laptops of the.fire brigade. They were built so that you could very well use them as a hammer 🐳

Anyway, the shop is on the backyard of the Kyläsaari recycling centre in Helsinki. It closes at 15, so.it’s a little bit difficult to visit if you’ve got an eight to four job.

Thinkpad X280.

And if you tell where the hell my key for the cellar is, I can go downstairs and check what model the Thinkpad I bought in 2017 for 30 €. It’s now in my pile of broken laptops from which I should extract useful files some day :P

Something you can buy for 20 €.
Okay, I paid 60 € for mine and it’s good enough to play Skyrim and Stellaris :)

But the same shop sometimes sells laptops for 30 €. They come preinstalled with Ubuntu Linux and are absolutely fine for browsing the web.

I’m wondering why Musk elected to do this now. Most likely has to do with the Epstein files.

But, there are two different ways that may have had an effect. They both may have played a role, but not necessarily:

• Maybe Putin no longer has material for pressuring Musk when the cat is already out of the box anyway. If Musk wanted to support Ukraine, now it can.
• Musk must be furious at Trump for having been selected as one of the people to throw under the bus by choosing Musk as one of the people whose mentions should be published. If this is just it throwing a tantrum, there’s a sadly high chance that the Russia will regain its Starlink access once the assumed tantrum is over.

Both need to always be printed, with kJ first as that’s the official standard. But since in practical terms more people talk about kcal, they’ve required including that one as well. Here’s a photo:

(Also, all foodstuff must have the ingredients and nutritional values in the local language, so I wonder how this package of instant noodles made its way into my pantry!)

It’s somewhat a wild assumption that the only electronic appliance a household uses is a hair dryer.

Because total energy used is not what matters. What matters for most people is how much they have to pay. And they have to pay according to how many hours they were powering their devices with how many kilowatts.

People are – sadly – very uninterested in thinking about energy being indeed energy.

I have no clue of kcal, because I always read the numbers in kilojoules. And EU is not a part of Australia :) (And we need to mention the kJ because EU legislation is in effect in Finland where I live)

Luckily one of the devices later broke down and was replaced by another one. It didn’t come from Sweden, but speaks English instead of Finnish all the same.

Sä et ilmeisesti ole ihan hirveästi tuolla ulkona sitten kulkenut? Otetaan nyt vaikka joku rändomi katu jostain Helsingin Pakilasta:

Leveyttä kolmen paloauton verran puskasta puskaan. Kaksi paloautoa vie vähemmän tilaa kuin kolme.

Ja tietty merkityksellistä tuo tilankäyttö on tietysti ennen kaikkea siellä, missä on käveltävän mittaluokan kaupunkia:

Mihin paloautot noita kahta parkkikaistaa tarvitsevat?

I would recommend exporting your settings just in case. I was using an instance that kind of vanished for a week and then returned, but with my user account completely gone 😱

It’s nice that you can just import your settings from a file on your own hard drive and continue from basically where you left.

In a way yes, because this post is in a community running on a Lemmy instance. But at the same time: The user was did not use Lemmy to write the Lemmy trashing :)

(And Lemmy is good. It’s just, PieFed is so much better!)

If you say that genociding Uyghurs is not okay, the lemmy.ml admins consider that to trigger the rule about colonialist mindset. Similarly, if you talk bad about the Russian colonization of peoples such as Mari and Buryats or Tatars, that is seen by them as an example of you having a colonialist mindset. And those messages of yours then get removed by the mods.

Basically the context is this: [email protected]

PieFed has more features and can do everything Lemmy can. There are many things you can do in Reddit but not on Lemmy, but most of those are possible on PieFed.

A user migrating to PieFed is more likely to stay than a user migrating to Lemmy, because they won’t have a feeling that there are familiar features lacking. You don’t have flairs, multireddits (a.k.a. feeds), polls, events, personal notes on users, or notifications on new posts/comments on Lemmy, but on PieFed you do.

PieFed is a different software. Lemmy is written in Rust and has a certain set of features.

PieFed is a newer project, written from scratch in Python, by completely different people. It includes Lemmy’s features and shows the same posts as Lemmy, but has additional features such as polls, events, feeds (which are the same thing as multireddits on Reddit), emoji reactions, flairs, notifications for new comments coming for some specific post or new posts coming in some specific community, messaging with Mastodon users, and some other stuff that fails to come to my mind right now :)

There are several PieFed instances: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

Ne kaistat missä lukee BUS on busseille, niitä ei kannata laskea mukaan, jos ei halua et poliisi tulee ja sakottaa.

Tällaisten virhekäsitysten välttämiseksi monet Suomessa käyvät erityisen autokoulun. Sen myötä mahdollistuu myös niinsanotun ajokortin saaminen.

tien pitää olla olemassa palokuntaa ja ambulanssejakin varten, kun sen varrella on asuintaloja.

Joo, paloautoja ja ambulansseja varten tarvitaan vähintään pyörätien levyinen väylä, että pääsevät kulkemaan. Vahvasti samaa mieltä sellaisen tarpeellisuudesta kanssasi!

Tietty voidaan kysyä, että mitä hittoa sä tällä asian mainitsemisella ajat takaa, koska kai nyt mihin tahansa taloon joka tapauksessa joku kulkuyhteys on? Joku jetpack on aika vaikea käytettävä 7-vuotiaalle koulumatkavälineeksi nimittäin!

Se kylmään hävinnyt varaus toki tulee takaisin, kun akku taas lämpenee. Se ei ole varsinaista kulutusta, vaan sitä, että akun varauksesta pienempi osuus saadaan hyödynnettyä.

Toi tosin ei ole kovin edustava katu, koska tuollaisia katuja on vain murto-osa Helsingin kaduista. Pitäisi rakentaa joku skripti, joka valitsisi sattumanvaraisen helsinkiläisen kadun ja siitä sattumanvaraisen korttelin ja mittaisi siitä nuo, niin saisi jotenkin todellisuutta vastaavia lukuja. Jos vaikka 20 tuollaisen skriptin arpomaa paikkaa mittailisi ja laskisi niiden keskiarvon, saisi kai aika hyvän tuloksen?

No, joka tapauksessa, tuossa sun kuvassasi on 630 pikseliä talonseinästä talonseinään. Kumpikin ajorata on 175 pikseliä, eli yhteensä 350 pikseliä on ajoradan tilankäyttö. Tekee 55,56 % kadun leveydestä. Ja siis kadulla, jonka valitsit sillä perusteella, että se oli löytämistäsi Helsingin kaduista se, jossa tuo ajoradan osuus kadun koko leveydestä on kaikkein matalin.

Ja kantakaupungin rajan ylittävästä liikenteestähän n. 20 % tapahtuu henkilöautoilla. Eli 20% ihmisistä vie 56 % tilasta. Kuvasi on juurikin sellaisesta paikasta, jossa on kyse nimenomaan kantakaupungin rajan ylittämisestä ja malliesimerkki siitä, miten järjettömän autokeskeistä kaupunkisuunnittelumme yhä on.
