  • From the Wikipedia article:

    The name derives from the chocolate truffle's similarity in appearance to truffles, a tuber fungus.[2]

    Looking at the truffles (the mushroom) page, they do look similar, especially to some of the powdered styles of chocolate truffles. I imagine that confectioners also like the name because it implies high quality, high prices and a difficult process to make it, and chocolate truffles are indeed quite expensive compared to a chocolate bar.

  • I dont think it should have anything to do with either the username or what they were posting.

    If you post content that isn't allowed, being banned is exactly what you should expect.

    Lemmy is very confusing this way, because this is an instance wide ban, without a ‘reason’, i.e. I cant see which post or comment warranted such sweeping use of instance admin power.

    While I agree this isn't great, especially for other people who just want to verify that the mods/admins aren't just powertrippin', the nature of spam posting is that you don't usually get banned because of any one post, but because you keep doing it repeatedly.

    And in my community this shows up as if the mod removed it, but it was the instance admin (cant see which one either), and not the mod of the community.

    AFAIK you would get more information as a Piefed user. Seems like Lemmy is intentionally obfuscating this kind of thing, because the tankies who develop Lemmy don't like having their authority questioned.

  • Unrealistic, they would never admit that they've been had.

  • Modlog says "reason: slop spam", which means that the mod thought that this user was posting a lot of spam, of the AI-generated variety (AI-generated isn't against the rules on lemmy.world, but spam is). IDK why you thought that is has anything to do with the user name.

  • Standst bestimmt mit Elon vor der Tür und wurdest nicht reingelassen.

  • Does this imply that people in suits are getting butt implants, or that they're getting fat?

  • As I said, filters are alread really hard to make to work, having them also difficult to elude make them even harder. Not considering the fact that you need to create some sort of infrastructure to keep them updated, which make them even harder to implement.

    Which is why they're currently not very good, yes. Mandating them by law would probably speed up development, and either way, you're trying to thwart most kids/teenagers, not professional hackers. It doesn't really matter if a couple of kids can circumvent it if the methods are too difficult for the type of kids who barely even know how to use a PC, which seems to be most of them nowadays. Plus, many kids aren't actually willing to break the law just to access TikTok.

  • Considering that Napoleon used the money for his war chest and achieved the height of his territorial power in Europe a few years later (1807/1812), it wasn't even that bad of a trade for the French - clearly, central Europe was worth more than a big swath of mostly undeveloped and extremely thinly populated land that was still occupied by unconquered natives.

  • What's that logo in the lower right corner? Never seen it (probably on account of not being USian) and it's too small/low contrast to read the upper part.

    That said, the trouble with ice thickness is measuring it without stepping on it.

  • Would aliens in 10000 years even be able to tell the difference between trash and ... well, not trash? They'd probably just think that we were really into plastic. Which isn't wrong - I literally bought a plastic mixing bowl this week (it was that or steel, and I hate the noise of steel bowls).

  • LLMs seem to be more human-like than I thought.

  • Can't remember ever hearing from Christina Stürmer until like a couple of years ago, and that was probably because I looked up female, German-language rock singers. Though it wouldn't have stood out much among the likes of Juli and Silbermond, so I might have heard her songs without realizing. I did know Texta and Manuva, though, they appeared on several songs of German HipHop acts I listened to.

    DJ Ötzi was also wildly popular in Germany : /

  • As a German who actually paid attention to pop music in the 00s, I'm rather surprised at how few of these artists I recognize. I'm not surprised at how few of these artists sing in German, though.

    TIL Fennesz is Austrian!

    Edit: And Soap & Skin, damn, never even considered that she might not be from the US.

  • What kind of dog was it? Some dog breeds were specifically bred for hunting pests.

  • That's like one second of earnings loss for Amazon ... but better than nothing I guess.

  • I never said that it's impossible to circumvent. It's just harder than if there were no restriction at all, and that does make a difference. And buying alcohol for your 1-year-younger friend is one thing, but buying alcohol for a 15yo is quite another. When I was that age, few people regularly hung out with people that much younger.

    I agree that this type of social media ban shouldn't be made at all, though. What I do want is filters that can be activated by parents that are relatively difficult to circumvent, but don't require anyone to submit their ID data. You can still fine the parents if it becomes known, though obviously that's less likely than if every single user had to submit their ID.

  • Dude I live in Germany, you think we don't insulate our houses?

    Sounds to me like you're wasting district heating, I doubt they have much waste energy that they actually don't have a use for.

    Granted, 21°C would be too cold for me to consider wearing just a tshirt on top. It's 20°C in my apartment and I usually wear tshirt, sweater, long johns, pants and a bathrobe at home.

  • If you're heating enough to be comfortable with naked legs in early February, you either have extremely strong thermal isolation or you're wasting energy (which costs money and is bad for the environment). Or you have the constitution of an Inuit, I guess.
