En passant has always been the most obscure chess rule, in online chess it’s often reported as cheating. Which resulted in a lot of people saying “google en passant”, on an unkown lemmy clone someone realising it’s an actual chess move replied, holy hell, and a meme was born.
A long long time ago there was a Kingdom named Unix, which was rather small in the beginning. With the bigger ones already fortified, the people of Unix KISSed their new Kingdom to a brighter future. They learned quickly that all other Kingdoms had a fatal flaw, they were focusing way too much on the work they where doing but not on the tools they where using. So the people of Unix did exactly that - they made the best, most robust tools they could. They could use “Cat” to read any anything they wanted in an instant, but also “Tail” when the message was too long and they only wanted to read the end and “Curl” to send and recieve messages from the other Kingdoms. And so the Unix Kingdom had an ace up their sleeve, building an empire so big you can still feel the ripples today. While the Unix Kingdom itself has disappeared, it’s legacy has spawned the Android, Apple and Linux Kingdoms which house almost 70% of all the people today.
If you where to try and explain the Fediverse to someone, how would you explain it with it's different instances? As well as explain why it is better in some ways for the future of the Internet?
I recently setup my own instance and wrote this for people new to lemmy:
Federated?
<span style="color:#323232;">~ Anyone can host a server
</span><span style="color:#323232;">~ Servers host instances
</span><span style="color:#323232;">~ Instances host Communities
</span><span style="color:#323232;">~ Communities host wonderful people
</span><span style="color:#323232;">~ Instances can communicate freely between eachother
</span><span style="color:#323232;">This is the federation
</span>
What makes Lemmy and any federated platform so interesting is the ActivityPub protocol. This allows Lemmy, which is a content aggregator social media, to communicate (or Federate) with other types of social media, such as Mastodon (a twitter microblog style) and PeerTube (video hosting). Meaning any instance of the Fediverse can independently read each others content, without the necessity of having to use different apps and/or accounts.
I’m looking to play some mobile games online with my partner while we’re away; something simple and potentially asynchronous but doesn’t have to be. Something like Words With Friends but not cluttered and overrun with ads. Simple board games, strategy, or other casual games....
I’ve never seen a check balance option ever when not using my own banks ATM over here. ING does still have ATM’s in a few places, KBC and Belfius definitely do as well. Also you forgot Argenta and Bpost which has them as well. Honestly don’t think you’ll be able to perform a balance check on any of them.
Maybe people are to harsh on the author for their writing style. They tell the reader that they don’t have experience in the field themselves but rather dipping a toe in the world that is SEO. I for one had no idea of the scale of the enterprise, figures they quote from years ago which make your jaw drop.
Obviously the people who work in SEO will make it sound like honest work. As long as there are search engines which got to have accurate results, there will be people trying to place their website above another one. High rolling SEO consultants probably aren’t that concerned with the content they are promoting though, just the fact that it gets promoted, raising ethical questions.
As of a some years ago, I too noticed a decline in quality from search results. The face that Mr. Sullivan made snide remarks about it actually improving made me frown pretty hard. Between displaying the same spam website multiple times under different urls, literal bait and switch scams and literally impossible to find niche shit sometimes. I’ve unironically used Bing more this year then ever in my life, but mainly DDG for a good 5 years.
It’s a whole licensing thing where they have very little to gain but a lot to lose. Intelectual property is very important in the IT world, companies tend to keep their work for themselves.

Lemmy is still awesome. I am amazed that so many people are still using it
Makes me happy. It’s easy to have a good time here.
