thanks! this post made me try out thunder, and I have to say it's my favorite so far! sync is way too flashy, the standard font is way too small, the condensed feed view options (smaller cards, list, compact) are virtually all the same shitty list view, and it's too floaty and zoomy.

thunder on the other hand gets all the little, but super-important things just right; how one-finger zooming of pictures is so smooth, how the download button is in a logical spot and is responsive to show the succeeded download; how the preview in the feed is just the right size; how collapsing comment chains is smooth and not disorienting. great app, thanks for the recommendation!

oh and I couldn't care less if an app is open source, closed source, pay-to-use or not, as long as the UI is good. I'd just block ads anyway, or try to find a ripped version (revanced etc) – but having an app that's not reporting home is of course even better!

I thought Uranus didn't have rings?

Danke für den Link! Hab gleich mitgemacht.

Was? Vögel und generell Naturmotive wären super, wir haben genug schöne Natur hier auf die man stolz sein kann! Also ich persönlich bin immer neidisch auf lateinamerikanische Länder und ihre coolen Naturmotive am Geld. Außerdem würden sich damit endlich schöne Spitznamen für einzelne Scheine etablieren ("He, hast du ne Taube für mich?" - "Das Fahrrad kostet ungelogen 3 Eulen!"), absolut geil und notwendig!

Flüsse oder Bauten in schönen Landschaften wären aber auch ok, Kulturwerke auch aber ein bisschen ausgelutscht (jaja Dampfmaschine, jaja Beethoven, hören wir endlich auf uns einen darauf runterzuholen), der Rest (Silhouetten...) wäre mir zu abstrakt, da kann man gleich lustige geometrische Muster nehmen.

Haha ein guter Jokus. Danke auch dass du mich damit an die Umfrage erinnert hast! Ich hoffe stark ihr habt alle schön die Vögel, Flüsse und Werte/Naturlandschaften raufgewählt, die sind mit Abstand das beste! Kulturwerke und Hände wären auch ok.

schöne geschichte, leider liegst du damit absolut falsch. es gab zuvor schon konsultationen mit der bevölkerung und mit experten zu den möglichen themen, der gestaltung und dem vorgehen überhaupt, siehe zum gesamten vorgang hier: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/redesign/html/index.de.html und zur zusammenfassung der ergebnisse der bisherigen beteiligungsprozesse hier https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/shared/pdf/ecb.executive_summary_new_banknotes.de.pdf

neat, what I take from this and the discussion below is that with a pw containing upper- and lowercase letters, numbers as well as symbols that 12 is just long enough.

naja, man muss schon die notwendige mentale voraussetzung mitbringen (wirklich alkoholfreies bier trinken wollen, anstatt 100% das gewohnte biererlebnis erwarten), mir persönlich schmeckt das freibier von stiegl sehr gut. ich habe aber auch eine echte motivation (will nach dem biertrinken nicht mehr so müde sein), und trinke das bier zum essen anstatt für sich allein.

erinnert mich an die biologie, da hatte ich an der uni auch das gefühl, dass ganze bereiche (populationsdynamik, biostatistik) von befreundeten mathematikern aufgestellt wurden, die aus freundlichkeit, langeweile und entferntem interesse am thema dinge gelöst haben, an denen sich die ausgebildeten biologen zuvor jahrzehntelang die zähne ausgebissen hatten. ähnliches passiert auch mit programmier-affinen personen immer wieder. persönlicher tipp, wenn man etwas bedeutungsvolles machen will: als mathematiker, techniker oder auch einfach handwerker in einem fachfremden bereich schauen, was man mit seinem wissen dort für probleme lösen könnte.

EU policy is so hit and miss because the EU Parliament mostly has our backs, and is introducing good legislation protecting consumers of corpo overreach (like the roaming directive). The EU Commission on the other hand has only the interest of the EU countries' governments in mind, which makes many of its proposals rather shitty of the common citizen. Also tells you a lot about what the actual national governments stand for, when somebody else is doing more for the citizens than they are.

I thought about this comment, and realized that somehow, I just don't care so much about what happens to Reddit anymore. Instead of worrying about what I left behind, I'm looking forward to what's ahead of us.

I think it's because even before the whole 3d-party-app drama, there already was this undefined feeling that Reddit's best days are behind it. Maybe it's the effect of ad money and monetization, or it's the inevitable trend towards low quality content that comes with mass adoption, probably it's both.

Whatever the cause, in most subreddits, the old Facebook-style rot had already set in. Once-cool subs now being an endless barrage of tired memes, bots farming karma, and people being assholes. The things I joined for years ago, the engaging discussion, random encounters with amazing experts, the cutting-edge internet anarchy, it's all already long gone.

When I opened the app (Baconreader in my case), I only did it out of habit, to then spendy time scrolling through an endless list of things that made me slightly go "heh".

So, maybe most people will stay on Reddit for now, and probably I will have to leave behind certain communities instead of finding direct replacements. But I see that as a good thing. As long as even just 2% of Reddit's users make it here, I'm excited it will grow into something much better than what I left behind.
