so i startet on kbin.social and lemmy.world, but kbin became shitty and overrun with bots. than i switched to kbin.run and now it seems to be down. No idea what actually happened there. Don't think i will start a new kbin/mbin account for now. i think i will just stay on lemmy.world for now and not have an alternative instance as backup

Thanks, i also had it on my wishlist. Nice to get it for free

yeah though in some countries employees were still protected from usage of such software or the usage had to be confirmed and agreed. This seems like it could be used as a loophole

Also scared how companies might use it to control their employees

i think the Gamepass shines the most for coop games. If you have a friend group you regularly play games with it there can be an issue of the different spending habits and willingness to buy games between everyone. Often one person will try to motivate others to get a game and than it gets played a few times and shelved.

The advantage of sports games is probably that most can be played coop, also there is a huge playerbase there that loves to buy lootboxes. Easy way to get whole friendsgroups signed up. I myself dont really like sportsgames that much, at least not if they are by EA.

Though I do hope that gamepass keeps getting more coop games. Especially more couch, casual and partygames. They do already have lots of survival and crafting games so far, which is great.

It's beautiful, but there was a good chance to get stuck everywhere in cars without all-wheel drive. In my neighborhood the snow services dont run through to remove the snow from road and parkings, so you have to do it by hand. Took 3 hours to free our house with 2 people and there was not much place left to shovel the snow too. Over night the temperatures dropped to ~ -12°C so everything is frozen now too. Can't imagine what 70 cm in a day would be like. This was probably the highest single day snowfall i experienced, the only comparable time was i think in 2005

But yeah has been a while since i last saw a white christmas. Nowadays the most snowfall seems to happen in february/march

They explain that in the article. Light barely gets absorbed in water, which is why you can see several meters deep in water. Only the absorbed part can turn into heat.

They measured an effect that partly evaporates water more efficiently than the heat influx can. The theory mentioned in the article is, that light directly knocks out water molecules at the water/air surface boundary. The measured effect was the most effective with light of a green wavelength

Is the company Microsoft?

at least it's on gamepass

Das habe ich gesehen, finde aber dadurch ist trotzdem nicht klar, ob die Polizisten das aus Eigeninitiative gemacht haben. Auf einen Aufruf von der Leitstelle würden ja auch Polizisten reagieren die zufällig in der Nähe sind. Ist das Problem mit solchen Artikeln, da werden Informationen weggelassen oder verdreht.

Clickbait Artikel aus ner Klatschpresse. "Passanten rufen Polizei da sie Bauarbeiter für Klimakleber halten" klingt halt nicht so gut. Die Polizei muss halt wenn der Notruf gerufen wird trotzdem kontrollieren.

Aber auch sehr unterhaltsam zu sehen wie feddit gleich die chance nutzt sich über bayern und die polizei lustig zu machen. Im Normalfall zwar gerechtfertigt, hier aber ein Eigentor

Naja das ist mir ziemlicher Sicherheit im Artikel etwas angespitzt formuliert, die abendzeitung münchen ist auch nicht viel besser als die Bild.

Was hier vermutlich tatsächlich der Fall war, ist das ein unbeteiligter die Polizei gerufen hat und die das halt dann kontrollieren muss. Das geht halt am besten und schnellsten über einen Dienstausweis

Ich auch. Hat mich schon gewundert wieso die deutsche community plötzlich so tot ist

devs want to add the possibility to remove custom multiplayer characters in the future, but it seems it is not included in this patch yet

This patch doesn't yet allow the removal of custom multiplayer characters from a party right?

yeah searching for it, there seem to be certification institutes and audits. The system is quite nicely explained in this video: https://youtu.be/YQ2GOtpYiqk

in germany most plastic bottles are reused several times through a deposit system and after reaching a limit they are almost completely recycled. Always wonder why other countries can't seem to be able to use a similar system

I think you still can

I am sadly missing data reaching further back for any real comparison. It seems that Monday and Tuesday always has the highest activity, so the Blackout Effect should actually be compared to those timepoints the week before. Comparing the Thursdays for example, you still see that we haven't reached the same activity as the week before the blackout.

But all this is just assumptions without several historic data points of the weeks before the Blackout.

I do think a huge amount of content is bot generated on the site though and I wouldn't be surprised if spez also used ghost accounts to generate content like they admitted doing when reddit was created. Website tracker sites already said they saw a big decline in amounts and duration of user interactions of the site. Also the different protest forms did have some advertisements getting paused which is a big deal for the site. Will be interesting to see how the site value change will develop in the coming weeks and if user activity will stabilise back to normal levels or not

es fehlen leider weiter zurückliegende Daten zum Vergleich.

Kann aber auch an an Bots liegen, oder Spamposts/Memes durch den Blackout in den darauffolgenden Tagen.

Es gibt aber auch ein paar Datenkraken die Websites überwachen. Um dort aber genaue Infos zu erhalten muss man zahlen.

Hier ist aber ein englischer Artikel der einen 20% Rückgang an Besuchen der Seite beschreibt. Die durchschnittliche Besuchszeit und Anzahl ist aber auch um 14% und 8% gesunken.
