Europe@feddit.org•Why is the Hungarian Forint a weak currency?English
1·3 days agoI kind of have tried that twice, failing both times. Firstly, I like paying in cash and it’s too much work to change money to Francs and back. Secondly the prices are high enough that both time’s I’ve stocked up before entering Switzerland and made sure that I’m on the other side of the country when it’s time to sleep in a paid hotel room.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•is there any platform in fediverse where individuals can join groups just like Facebook groups, and share media ??🤔🤔🤔English
2·3 days agoYes on Piefed those are called communities.

6·3 days agoLet’s explain it this way: Microsoft has programmed a web service that is able to receive, view and send emails.
And Google has done the same, from scratch.
Email itself is merely a way different server softwares communicate with each other.
The same goes here. Some people developed a server software for receiving, viewing and sending ActivityPub content and called it Lemmy. Then other people figured it would be a nice project and did the same, from ground up, and called it PieFed.
They are the same thing. They also don’t have more content or less content. They have the precisely same content. I am writing this on PieFexd, you are reading my comment in Lemmy. And then there is also Mbin.

10·3 days agoIt doesn’t really work very well as that. It’s buggy and it’s difficult to really understand. PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin works much better for the purpose intended by OP.
This does mean you’ll need to have separate accounts for Mastodon and Forumverse, though. At least for now. I tried using MBin to combine the two, but in practical terms the user experience was lacking, because Mbin is not quick enough in implementing new features that Mastodon gets. Or ones that PieFed and Lemmy get. Especially the images inside Forumverse posts showing as mere links bugged me like hell! And quote toots on Mastodon not working either.

1·3 days agoThe only surveillance system they might have for this is a police car randomly seeing you fueling up in two places during the same time. There won’t be any automatic number plate scanning or anything. Just regular human people using their eyes.

Europe@feddit.org•Why is the Hungarian Forint a weak currency?English
5·3 days agoAnd then of course, to the other question: I’m from Finland. My PPP increases a lot when I go to Germany. I get a higher amount of Euros as salary, but I can buy much less with my Finnish salary in Finland than I could buy with a lower German salary in Germany. And then when I use my Finnish salary in Germany… Woooo! :)
And when I go to some country in what used to be called “eastern block” in the past, then yes: I can indeed buy a lot more than I can buy in what used to be called “the west” some twenty-thirty years ago. But that’s the same in Hungary and in Slovakia, as both countries have been mismanaged in a similar manner. Whether Hungary has Euro or not, doesn’t really affect this much at all.

Europe@feddit.org•Why is the Hungarian Forint a weak currency?English
12·3 days agoHow many units of money you get for one euro tells nothing about how weak or strong a currency is.
When Latvia still had its own currency, the Lat, one euro was actually worth something like 4,20 Lat.Or measued in English pounds:
One Latvian Lat was about 1,20 £. Does that mean that Latvia was/is richer than UK?Nope. The numbers in a currency are nothing but a number. They can be high or they can be low. Just like 20 degrees Celcius is not richer or poorer than 68 Fahrenheit. It’s just a different unit that has different numbers for the same thing.
But then: In 2004 I remember one Euro was about 250 Hungarian Forint. And now it’s almost 400. The face value of the numbers doesn’t mean anything, but the changes in exchange rate do. Your one million Forint in your bank account are a very different amount of Euros now than they were before Orbán fucked up the country’s economy starting in 2012 or 2013 or whenever he began his reign.
At the same time: If the Euro was worth, say 110 Forints, that would actually mean that the Hungarian currency is strong, because it would be twice as strong as it was earlier. But now it’s about half as strong as it used to be.
And the answer to the question “why” is indeed Orbán. He has transformed the country into a Russian-style pyramid scheme where the main point of the economy is to provide profit for the leader. And then maybe it will also produce something to the country’s population as a side effect. Or maybe not.

6·3 days ago@116280023545064493@hear-me.social , you accidentally wrote your comment in a place just like that. See here: https://nord.pub/c/fediverse/p/127183/fediverse-is-there-any-platform-in-fediverse-where-individuals-can-join-groups-just-like-fac
This thing called PieFed or Lemmy is not the same as Mastodon. @fediverse@lemmy.world is not a username, it’s actually what you would call a group. You sent that toot of yours into a group called “Fediverse” on a server called “lemmy.world”. On PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin groups are called communities, though. But indeed, do click the link above and browse the site that opens.
I linked through my instance, nord.pub, which is mainly meant for people from Nordic countries. If you prefer something else, try piefed.social, piefed.zip, or somesuch :) But of course you can also create an account on nord.pub regardless of where you are from. At least if you know English or some Nordic language. And English you do know!
But indeed: Do browse this thing. Join some communities (that is: groups) that you like. I enjoy PieFed a lot, and for me it has healed that tickle that you’re complaining about :)
