Oh you live in South Sudan and are on Lemmy? I think you’re the first person from Africa I encounter here. I guess you’re a imigrant? Or are you born there?
I explicitly asked if they are one or the other. But my guess that they are an immigrant comes from the sentence before where I say that they are the first person on Lemmy I saw coming from an African country. I see the same here in Korea, if you look at !korea which seems to be the most subscribed Korean community on lemmy, only the server Admin seems to be Korean, everyone else seems to be a immigrant like me, because Lemmy is very focused on North America and Europe.
My point has nothing to do with money or education, but that Lemmy is practically only used in North America and Europe (with Japan being the exception of the rule). Here in South Korea nobody other than a few immigrants use it. So I wanted to know if this is the same case in African countries or if they are themselves born there and still somehow found Lemmy and started using it.
What is so weird about that? I am a immigrant in Korea and one of the very few who access Lemmy from Korea. I also haven’t seen anyone from South Sudan on Lemmy before that person so I wondered how it became known there, and I don’t think the assumption that a immigrant who already has contact with people from north america and Europe would know about Lemmy in South Sudan in comparison to local people -like here in Korea - is so outlandish.

I agree with that. It only has really the basic features, but honestly, I’m not using any other features on my Samsung smart watch anyway. I had one and it has one feature which makes it better then the regular smart watches, the battery life. If I remember correctly it ran for almost a week before I had to charge it again.
Oh how cool, I didn’t realize that Florent Revest is still keeping his AsteroidOS alive, great to see! I’ve worked with him a couple of years ago and he implemented over the air updates in our custom Linux distribution. I see AsteroidOS is still build with Yocto, cool stuff and great guy!

Very interesting post, very long but also interesting. I also agree with most of the points.
But I wonder why there is no mention of /kbin which has been a compatible alternative to Lemmy even during the Reddit exodus. It’s also written in PHP which many people should have a much easier time to contribute to than Lemmy’s Rust.
this could not be timed worse for Tumblr which is in huge hot water with its userbase already for its CEO breaking his sabbatical to ban a prominent trans user for allegedly threatening him (in a cartoonish manner), and then spending a week personally justifying it increasingly wildly across several platforms. the rumors had...
But because my son got my German citizenship he get’s nothing, even though both his parents pay huge amount of taxes. We even need to pay for the Kindergarten out of pocket, which just so became quite more expensive too.
But to be honest, I don’t want him to grow up here in Korea with all the pressure and the bleak outlook into the future where one worker will need to pay for one retired person too, especially for all the retieries who didn’t have children for whatever reason.
Korea is absolutely not prepared for any kind of immigration. And they’ve been isolated for so long they really don’t know hor to deal with people who aren’t from their culture.
