Schöner Artikel. Ich war jetzt schon drei Mal in meinem Leben in einer ähnlichel Lage wir die geflüchteten. Das erste mal in Deutschland als Spätaussiedler in den 90ern ohne Deutschkenntnisse bin ich dann in die Hauptschule in die 5. Klasse gekommen und musste mich mühsam über den 2. Bildungsweg an die Uni heranarbeiten.

Dann 15 Jahre später in Schweden hab ich mit minimalen Schwedischkenntnissen nen Nachtjob als Zeitungsjunge ergattert und am Tag die Sprache in der Schule gelernt. Was mir dann ermöglichte einen webdesignerjob zu bekommen und danach mit 30 an die Uni zu gehen.

15 Jahre später, vor 4 Jahren, war es wieder so weit und ich bi n nach Südkorea gezogen. Hier hatte ich Glück weil ich einfach in meiner Schwedischen Firma weiterarbeiten kann, da es ein globales Unternehmen ist. Das macht es aber schwieriger die Sprache zu lernen, und nach 4 Jahren muss ich verschämt zugeben dass ich sie praktisch immer noch überhaupt nicht behersche. Und somit außerhalb der Familie nicht in die Gesellschaft integriert bin. Mit Arbeit und nem Kleinkind daheim bleibt dafür irgendwie auch keine Zeit.

I don’t think most of people want to be on a unmoderated social media site.

Some day in the future when I have more time I’d like to keel going: https://github.com/jeena/JNotes

I use exactly those you mention and the lack of journals on desktop is weird. Because of that I started implementing a notes app myself but never finished it.

I would say 4 hours and you can choose to use it at work or for your hobby, depending on what is more important.

What would the difference be to a Lemmy community?

So the goal is to replace YouTube with non-video content not just replacing it with a different ui or provider. That sounds more doable. Good to hear that it improved.

Says the guy with 1386 comments on his own instance of a fringe social media software :D

flip-flopper

How is that different to before the 1800?

I don’t know where you live, but here in Seoul nobody takes out their phone out at the traffic light because most of the people have it already in the hand while walking.

See this random video I just googled of a crosswalk in Gangnam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeadHl7ugmk

No, I just moved here 4 years ago, first a business trip, then I met someone and asked to go on more business trips until I asked them to move me to the Korean office and I me and my now wife moved in together.

Do you mean living in Asia or born and raised? I moved to South Korea 4 years ago.

Nextcloud it just too heavy I totally agree, and everything feels slow and sluggish.

For just files I use Syncthing and couldn’t be happier, it just works in the background without a central server just syncs the files between phones, PCs and laptops by itself. I set it up like 5 years ago when I had enough of Nextcloud and to be honest most of the time I forget that I have it, but I use it every day to sync my password database for KeePassXC, my music, my private and work documents between all my devices.

You’re misunderstanding what I wrote, because:

People leave the platform: “I don’t get why this upsets anyone, it’s his platform”.

Is exactly the opposite of what I was trying to say with:

he is not forcing you to use his platform

you can just leave, there are so many alternatives available, if you don’t then you are part of the problem, giving him power and putting more money into his pockets. In fact you should have seen the writing on the wall many years ago and latest when he bought it.

Being upset about this now after he did so many worse things is just silly.

So what, it’s his platform, he can do whatever he wants on it, he paid a lot of money for it.

I really don’t get why this would upset anyone, he is not forcing you to use his platform.

Tired of winning yet?

I don’t. I even removed analytics from my website which doesn’t even have comments. It doesn’t give me satisfaction at all.

Upvotes, it seems so random what gets upvoted anyway so most of the time it’s not because of the quality of my post.

Comments, yes that one I like because I get to see other peoples view on the topic which I’m interested in.

I think Thore words are not adequate to describe your or my situation.

My main language is English right now because that is what I mostly use. It’s my 4th language. I was 11 when I emigrated for the first time and between then and now I had two other main languages.
