Indeed. This definitely deserves some attention and following to get archived in !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.

Cash money says there’s already a native competitor just waiting to get that money

There isn’t and probably won’t be. At least not one with a library even half a size to that of spotify. People will probably flock to some competition like apple music or youtube music (neither of those services, as they are not very popular, seem to have said anything about this copyright law amendment). Also a senator already pointed out that if you have a valid argentinian credit card (there’s one very easy to get here), you can just register as an argentinian and pay less than a dollar instead of the seven dollars it costs here as a turnaround.

You mean the WA-traffic made a significant difference?

No, I don’t mean that. Whatsapp traffic (files i don’t think is included in the deal) is treated by the companies independently of other data traffic. You may not have a data plan, but still get a “whatsapp free” thingy, you can text for free via whatsapp without using data plans.

Depends on the country, in mine data plans are not that expensive (add some asterisks to that). But they include those “whatsapp free” or some streaming service traffic with no cost to get the edge over other phone companies. All of them mostly have the whatsapp free thing.

I used to live in a different country and it did make a significant difference, as @desconectado@lemm.ee points out below.

Same here (South America). You can not use it yourself but it will mostly keep you out of the loop on everything. Most of the phone companies don’t charge you whatsapp message data just to make it more inescapable.

I use Arch (btw). It’s not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i’m just used to it by now.

(that’s my personal laptop, the computers in my offices are either Debian or Ubuntu)

Is Latin America not the western world?

We have too much melanin to join the club.

No country in Scandinavia uses the Euro, they’re all out of the Eurozone- unless you count Finland.

i went regional for a friendly region in my main language. It has a comunity for pudus which gives it extra points tbh. !pudu@feddit.cl if interested.

weird, try using web. May be an app thing.

You are definitely seen by kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/lemmy@lemmy.ml/active has your post. Why do you say you can’t reply? Sometimes the synchronizing has some hiccups.

You can see how kbin.social is “seeing” you here: https://kbin.social/u/@pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one

Thanks for this. I’m following the account on Mastodon now. :)

Both Vim and Git really clicked with me when I had to revise and rewrite a paper. Sure, my graphic editor could do most things, but it really felt comfortable and quick on vim. I now use it for all my text editing, but that was my click moment.

in the search tool of your instance enter !risa@startrek.website and it will find it and start federating it.

(Some) Lemmy devs seem to have political ideologies that are within the “tankie” settings. That’s mostly it. Some people express they feel uncomfortable about it. Such devs hold an instance separate from the flagship instance (lemmygrad.ml), which in my opinion is not bad at all, I think it’s better they keep them to themselves giving an option to other instances to block it. They’re not trying to shove tankies ideas down anyones throats or anything.

It will definitely is a hard to find hard to grow. So far federation and different instances might make redundant communities, but I think these will naturally tend to merge/go inactive in time.

This browser of communities https://browse.feddit.de/ is a godsend to find communities I may like. Though it’s all centered in Lemmy and I want a similar tool for kbin (or this browser to add kbin instances communities).
