If Europeans (in general) love sleeper trains, why are there so little of those? Even in Russia, sleeper trains are still the main and preferred way of transportation between most regional centers (for the majority of travelers I would say it is “default” one), while in the EU most destinations are not even covered by a sleeper. I hope new companies like “European Sleeper” blossom because I personally prefer sleepers very much, but to say “Europeans love those” is untrue, since it is still mostly something exotic.

That is an entirely different argument which I did not contest and the comment I have answered to did not make

EDIT: Although, it depends on what we define as “bigger”. Binary size is certainly bigger, but user adoption is abysmal comparatively.

But what about Linux distributions compiled without GNU tools? Most popular Linux distribution’s kernel currently is compiled with Clang, not GCC, and as far as I am aware does not include anything from GNU. Of course Linux is historically influenced by GNU, but in current day and age they are orthogonal

That is a valid, but still different argument. Exchange rate still exists for average Joe (or Ivan), it isn’t North Korea (yet?)

You cant exchange millions of dollars (but tbf you couldn’t do that easily in the best times), but people can exchange theirs money into euro and dollar for that rate (realistic limit is $10k/month, but there are legal ways to cricumvent that limit). To say “you cant actually exchange USD to RUB” is untrue.

It has built in package manager now (winget install Mozilla.Firefox would install Firefox on clean Win11 installation).

how do things like the feeds work?

So what actually happens under the hood is when one instance communicates first time with another instance it builds some local cache of that remote instance. Then, when you open “All”, you get everything from your local instance + things cached/requested from other instances. Admins can defederate an instance, in which case you would not see anything from it.

Since there’s no algorithm is everything from Lemmy.world only going to show up on the popular feed (if I’m on that instance) or can other things like lemmy.ee or whatever also show up?

Everything federated will show up.

And can I comment on posts from a different instance or does that vary per instance?

If federated, you can both see and post both posts and comments on any instance from your home one.

could Lemmy theoretically allow content from those instances to be cross-posted here?

It could. More than that, Mastodon users currently can both subscribe to Lemmy instances and post/comment. It looks kinda weird since they mention post author/community or whomever they answer to in a comment, since they see it as if it looked like Twitter.

It has currency conversion, but it expects specific format

Hey, @sunaurus@lemm.ee, would it be possible to have different frontends, like old on lemmy.world?

In my experience 1/3rd of StB is the 3rd common point of burnout, because relatively nothing happens, Lyse is unbearable and the whole thing is like an exposition without substance (villians do not make sense since the player have already interacted with Ascians, which are obviously the real villians in every circumstance).

Well, StB itself is really just an exposition for wider world, as ARR was for Eorzea. Ascians plotline is obviously the main one and is the centerpiece of ShB and is basically resolved in EW. The exposition is long because the story itself is enourmous.
