For example here is a Lemmy thread: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/41964952?scrollToComments=true

Here is the same thread on Mastodon: https://floss.social/@kde/114960515064007515

So it is possible if it has been federated to both. There are different reasons why that might happen, in this case it is because that thread’s OP posted it on Mastodon but mentioned a Lemmy community.

Another reason why it might happen is that a Mastodon user is following a Lemmy community or user.

isn’t that how economic crises start or something…?

Absolute trash article.

like most things on techrights.org; every time I read almost anything on that website, I agree with a lot of the substance and then wonder why it has to make that substance look so bad by adding inaccuracies and/or conspiracy theories into it.

Places like Lignano, Bibione, Caorle AFAIK get a lot of beach tourism from Austria. They’re the closest beaches to our unfortunately landlocked country…

That might make sense, but the article doesn’t really indicate that that is what it means.

Yes, you are just quoting the article which I already read, but this fails to answer the question why the same JS does something different depending on whether it is part of an SVG or not. Should it not be possible to put the same JS directly into the HTML?

Why is SVG necessary for this? JS can be executed from HTML by itself; does putting it into SVG disable certain browser security features? I am a bit confused about this.

it’s stupid that English uses Latin abbreviations for these things; my first language is German and so:

• “z.B.” = “zum Beispiel” = “for example” = “e.g.”
• “d.h.” = “das heißt” = “that means” = “i.e.”

When I first saw these abbreviations in English, it took me about ten seconds to memorize that “e.g.” means “z.B.” and “i.e.” means “d.h.”. If English just did it the way German does and abbreviated its native expressions (“f.e.” and “t.m.”), it would be obvious to everyone which is which.

I’ve found it fairly inaccurate and imprecise for purposes of ship spotting. Often it even says things like “2 hours ago”.

For planes meanwhile, flightradar24 is absolutely excellent.

You can add new roads (or really anything) with desktop editors like JOSM, iD, Merkaartor, or on Android you can use Vespucci. StreetComplete is intentionally very limited in what it can do so that it’s easy to use, so you can’t add new roads with it.

quick reminder: the project is called “OpenStreetMap”, without an “s” in the end

The wiki is definitely the most authoritative source.

Yes, fighting crime (especially such uncommon crime) is a lot more important than privacy or non-censorship. That is definitely the right attitude for a free society. Nothing bad can come from it. /s

John Perry Barlow was right with his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace.

pretty sure they don’t, those last things are already (or will be?) banned for young people in Australia :(

If I hadn’t had the Internet growing up, I would have 0 (zero) positive memories of my preteen and teenage years. People who want to take that away from future generations are truly pure evil. I have no other words.

at least 13, at most 25 years depending on various factors (how long you have been employed in total, how long you studied in school/university, and other factors)

Yes, legally required for all employees. 6 weeks for employees who have been working at the current company for a very long time.

Yes. People interested in news about that should consider subscribing to !bad_internet_bills@lemmy.sdf.org where I regularly post news articles I can find about it. I don’t always crosspost them here.

In Austria, vacation days expire two years after the end of the vacation year in which they were created. So you can save up vacation days, but not all of them for four years. You can do things like: go on only two weeks of vacation in year 1, then eight weeks in year 2.

“All” means all. I suggest not using “all” but subscribing to things you actually want to see.

I mean the only reason it hasn’t passed yet (it was originally proposed in 2022) is because there has been quite a bit of opposition.
