cwagner, to asklemmy in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

Industrial Rock: Obviously the godfathers of industrial rock ;) KMFDM: Don’t blow your top from 1988 Black Hole 2022. Older Oomph! songs are amazing I.N.R.I. vs. Jahwe 1996. Revolting Cocks are also fun Jack in the Crack 2006. A lot of Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails stuff arguably also belongs to the genre.

For metal, we have the link between them: Ministry who are pretty much for metal what KMFDM is for Rock Just One Fix 1992. Quite different is Dutch The Monolith Deathcult who are one of the few Industrial Death Metal bands Wrath of the Ba’ath 2008. Hanzel und Gretyl are a military party industrial metal band ;) Fukken Über Death Party 2006 (Note: they use Nazi Germany sound samples and imagery, though satirized). Pain’s Shut your Mouth 2001 is one of my all-time favorite songs and videos

Okay, I guess that’s enough for now ;)

cwagner, to asklemmy in How often do you brush your teeth?

https://lemmy.cwagner.me/pictrs/image/7bdc1417-d46d-4afa-bdf1-458b6966bc1f.png

Essentially a brush for flossing, some find them easier to use than normal flossing, but there are also people like me who have super tight teeth and the floss can’t go through the top.

cwagner, to asklemmy in How often do you brush your teeth?

Once a day before going to bed, including interdental brushes.

My teeth are doing well, and probably relevant:

a) Keto, so next to no sugar/carbs in my diet
b) acidic drinks (coffee, tea, once a week quite some cola zero with some alcohol, half a bottle of wine once or twice a week), which makes brushing attack my teeth (I have light acid damage already)

cwagner, to asklemmy in What Will Be the Singularity Endgame: Utopia, Dystopia, Collapse, or Extinction? Why?

Utopia, I believe in the robots. It’s a bit of a shame none of us humans will be around, but that’s life.

cwagner, to asklemmy in What does an ideal world look like to you?

I’ll join the energy people. To live is to suffer, at least as long as you have a physical body. Even if you are a billionaire.

Once we are beings of pure energy, well have peace and equality. Well, hopefully.

I really like transhumanist and posthuman novels, yes ;)

cwagner, to asklemmy in What is the least SEO-fucked search engine?

and a few other engines

Bing, and the founder’s non-commercial search engine’s index IIRC

cwagner, to asklemmy in What is the least SEO-fucked search engine?

They phrased it weirdly, but Bangs (same before that for free when I was a DDG user for years) are a killer feature. I don’t need the indirection if I know where I’m searching for something. !caniuse, !mdn, !imdb, whatever. I’d not use a search engine without bangs again, and if Kagi didn’t support all the DDG bangs, I’d never have even tested them.

cwagner, to asklemmy in How are we going to pay for all this?

Storage doesn’t distribute, though. Every instance needs to save everything. I run my own instance, so the way it works, is that I save everything anyone posts in any community I subscribed to. Permanently, by default.

Bandwidth, sure, mostly. But storage will only grow. And massive amounts of instances will also add issues over time, unlike something like XMPP/Jabber, the fediverse is more of a hubs and spokes model.

cwagner, to asklemmy in do you have multiple lemmy accounts in different instances. why?

One to create communities on discuss.tchncs.de (my former “trying Lemmy out instance”), and one on my single user instance lemmy.cwagner.me ;) I use the same account to write in both English and German, but I generally prefer English anyway.

cwagner, to asklemmy in How are we going to pay for all this?

Everyone? At once and next week? It would just die.

Kbin.social had a nice post (check their meta community for it; it’s technically a different software, but still), how the instance went from costing $2-3 a month to 1000. And that’s a tiny fraction of reddit.

Development needs to advance just to better handle current user counts, there’s a lot of things that simply never were an issue when only a few hundred users were active.

The way it will work, is probably donations, maybe some very few paid instances.

cwagner, to asklemmy in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

Thanks, currently listening through it, I like what I’m hearing so far :)

cwagner, to asklemmy in Age Verification On Lemmy

That is only relevant for instances hosted in Germany, and also why feddit.de and discuss.tchncs.de (like most instances, though) defederated from NSFW instances.

Age gates are a joke and almost no one uses them, xhamster even flouts the law and changes the German subdomain whenever there is a new idiotic ISP DNS block.

Related anecdote: I was hosting an erotica forum (which I started doing when I was 14 or 15 …) when the law came to be, we had to get a Jugendschutzbeauftragter (youth protection officer; luckily something that existed “as a service” for like 5€/month) and implement an age gate. This killed the site.
