What do the scales below and above the timeline represent? There’s no explanation of the data displayed.

Correct, the main selling point for music streaming services is about having one place where you can find all your favourite music. It’s acceptable if you don’t find all the Star Wars stuff on Netflix - you can either watch other shows or movies instead or subsribe to Disney until you’ve seen it all, but a music streaming service with only the content of one or two major labels would probably be less attractive for many people, because they would only get a limited amount of music / artists. Also for the record companies it could mean higher cost (for maIntaining their own streaming service) and potentially lower profits.

But not for free as far as I’ve understood. You may have to pay a yearly fee for it.

What’s the point in installing Windows 11, which potentially won’t work or may cause problems - and which will not be supported with security updates over a working Windows 10 installation, which is also unsupported after October 2025?

…for Boobies!

That was killed quickly.

I have to admit that I still go back to Reddit regularly. There‘s just (still) more interesting / engaging content and more interaction there. Although I would be happy to go „all in fediverse“.

Not a mod, and not using the default app either. So probably this won’t affect me too much.

That’s correct. Me neither.

Which continent would central american countries then belong to?

To answer OP’s question, I’d say that US citizens are being referred to as “Americans”, because the name of the country is “United States of America”. Every other country on the north or south American continent has its own distinguished name, which can be used to refer to its citizens, e.g. “Canadians” or “Mexicans” etc.

Pretty good summary, but I would object, that “Hamas” is something like a “government” in Gaza. It’s a terrorist group that took control of the Gaza territory and it’s people without ever having been elected by someone (in fact, they are suppressing any kind of election since they took over the power from the Palestinian authorities). They are also using the Gaza population as “living shields” against counter strikes to their terror attacks. Nowadays they also have international hostages, which would make a counter-offensive even more difficult.

A possible - although very unlikely - solution to the conflict could be a de-radicaiisation on both sides and the Palestinians finally overthrowing the Hamas-regime and any other terrorist groups, because those are not fighting for Palestinian freedom, but for some crappy “Jihad” ideas and the destruction of Israel.

Unfortunately this will never happen…

Having said that, the Palestine territory was not chosen arbitrarily, but probably because of the significance Jerusalem has to the Jews, where their ancient kingdom and temple had been.

I guess they are currently at step 2 or 3…

It’s like thinking about marrying your ex-wife again, just after you went through an awful divorce, that took years to get accomplished, which you had insisted in. It would make you look somewhat stupid and the question is whether your ex-wife would let you move back in to your former house (i.e. the EU). Who knows…

You wanted it, you got it, now live with it!

Used it maybe a dozen times in the past 20 years.

If you want something similar to Reddit you should try Lemmy. Otherwise Mastodon is (pretty much like Twitter) a fire (shout) and forget principle. Sometimes there are conversations going on, where you can engage in, if you like.

Edit: didn’t even notice, that I‘m commenting this on Lemmy… 😬

I really don’t think that Mastodon needs influencers. It’s just normal people talking about normal stuff. Don’t need any “I‘m so glorious, and here’s my product that will make you think you’re glorious, too” kind of influencers there, thanks!

WTF?! „… force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list.“

Today it’s some terrorist / pedophile / fraudulent site, tomorrow it could be some opposition, news or whatever could be disliked site on that list.

Well, uhm… - it’s been designed in California, you know?!

First I thought “oh, Nine Inch Nails is here”, but then I saw its subtitle “c/creampies”…
