oakward@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is fediverse basically ? How does it work ?4·10 days agoI suppose you are on lemmy. Lemmy is kind of the reddit of the fediverse. Imagine that now everyone can create their own reddit server with blackjack and hookers. That is the server you are on, someone decided to create a server for the world. But now I am on another server with different owners, rules and mods (basically blackjack and different hookers). I can interact with you on your server and you can interact with me on my server because our servers are federated.
Now imagine that you can do this for every social media. Reddit, X(itter), Instagram, YouTube, Tiktok, WhatsApp. Everything is available in the fediverse (with more or less issues depending on what you are looking for).

oakward@feddit.orgto Ask Science@lemmy.world•What are the odds that my daughter's socks drawer contains exclusively single socks? Over 20 socks but not a single pairEnglish1·12 days agoThis seems so unlikely that it may be done on purpose. Is there a way to calculate the probability of this being on purpose? For instance, if she had 30 pairs of socks to start with, it seems unlikely to reach 20 single socks if they are randomly lost. Intuitively it should depend on how far we are from the expected value of single socks after losing N socks, but idk how to model nor calculate this.
A balance between communities. There are communities that are very active and fill my feed. Although those community are OK, I am much more interested in some smaller and niche communities. Those get lost in the feed.

oakward@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When was the last time you felt that you were well represented by a politician - be it at local or national level? What was the occasion?2·22 days agoThere is this one guy that represented me well for the last 6 years. While he was running the party things were good. From then on things went a bit downhill. He is still there and doing a good job though.

oakward@feddit.orgto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survivesEnglish7·24 days agoI really hope you are right. I currently predict some issues with the scalability of the fediverse, maybe due to ignorance. If the majority of people switch their social media to the fediverse, the current volunteer hosted infrastructure will crash. Such infrastructure is not cheap to maintain and donations may dry out at some point. Specially for pixelfed, loops and peertube. The fediverse may run into trouble without easy self-hosting solutions

I do not really work with excel beyond the basics. Why can’t free solutions like libre office and open office replace excel?
I don’t think Spain has a president. It is a kingdom
Edit: I stand corrected. They call the leaders of goverments presidents.
