I disagree: better to kill the evil in its infancy, rather than let it spread and hope it goes away by its own.

It's been in development a lot less than Lemmy. By how things look right now I'm preffering kBin over Lemmy.

I remember having a blast with this one until I break-up with my GF and just slumped into a period of depression. Might pick it up again now (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)

I'm not sure how the language setting works when replying but afaik just leave it on english and everything should be fine. I'm sure there are tools for windows to automagically detect text in photos, maybe even Google has something to offer.

Makes sense what you explained. And I'm pretty positive it should be possible to display the correct number of subscribers as it's just a field in a database (I might be ignorant about how things are build on the fediverse and if so please excuse my dumb ramblings).

Not sure how you do this, but one way to speedup things is for example using something like iOS' scan text from image feature. Of course, it needs some additional formatting but at least you don't have to type all of the text.

I usually read in Romanian (native language) for 2 reasons: somehow books in English are more expensive here and although I think my English is good, I feel slow/not understanding the whole picture when reading in it.

These being said, I think most of the translations should do the trick, as German is more close to English than to Romanian (and the translation I read was just beautiful).

Highly recommend Raymond Chandler’s books. He’s one of the reasons I got so into reading.

Some other good books are by Rodica Ojog Brasoveanu and George Arion, but sadly I don’t think they’re translated to English.

The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Crime and Punishment by Dostoieski

Man I feel like I’ve betrayed many other genial books I’ve read by choosing only 3.

On the flipside, atm Edge seems to be the better Chromium choice (if you don’t have a Microsoft hate boner).

Honestly it’s already on my favourite books list. It so easy flowing and simple like a Stephen King, yet deep like a Steinbeck.

Thanks for the recommendation, will look into it.
