crimeschneck∈🇩🇪⊂🇪🇺@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•[fluff post] If lemmy users are Lemmites, what would we like to call piefed users?English3·1 month agoThanks! I think some buddies came up with it when I was young. It sounds slightly similar to my surname.
crimeschneck∈🇩🇪⊂🇪🇺@sopuli.xyzto New Communities@lemmy.world•Piefed now has a built-in alternative to Lemmyverse to discover and search for active communities, with the "Active people" filter on the communities page (weekly basis)English3·1 month agoThis post only says that the Lemmyverse data “is used to suggest search results to people when adding a remote community.” Is this data also included in the communities page?
Another thought about the linked post: Removing inactive communities from the Lemmyverse data is certainly a good thing for stuff like “technology”, “memes”, “news” etc., but if you’re looking for a community about a very niche topic you might even be interested in an inactive community without active alternatives to perhaps “revive” it with your posts.

Seeing the “Add remote community” button, I guess this is something that’s not possible with Piefed’s community search?

crimeschneck∈🇩🇪⊂🇪🇺@sopuli.xyzto Privacy@programming.dev•Google's practice of requiring Gmail addresses for user accounts is illegal, according to a German court ruling. The parent company of GMX and Web.de (Ionos) had filed a lawsuit.12·1 month agoTranslation:
A German court has ruled that Google’s practice of requiring users to use Gmail addresses for their accounts is unlawful. The lawsuit was brought by the parent company of GMX and Web.de.
The Regional Court of Mainz delivered a partial legal victory for the German email provider GMX/Web.de against the US tech giant, prohibiting Google from favoring its own Gmail service when users set up an Android smartphone and create a Google account. A Google account is required, for example, to access the Google Play app store or to log in to YouTube. According to the court, for a long time, setting up such an account required a Gmail address, while email addresses from GMX.de and Web.de could not be used or only with difficulty—putting Google’s competitors at a disadvantage.
Parent company 1&1 must bear part of the court costs
However, the court dismissed parts of the lawsuit, meaning 1&1, as the parent company of GMX/Web.de and the plaintiff in the case, must cover three-quarters of the procedural costs. The ruling is not yet final, and the case is expected to proceed to the next instance. Google has already filed an appeal.Login now also possible with phone number
Google has already changed the behavior criticized in the lawsuit: Since May, users have been able to provide just a phone number during setup. However, Google still automatically creates a Gmail address—which, according to the court, is insufficient.In its lawsuit, 1&1 referred to the new EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), which has been in force since 2024 and strengthens the rights of consumers and smaller companies against tech giants like Apple or Google. The underlying assumption is that major platform operators are so powerful that they could cement their market position and must therefore treat their own services and those of competitors equally.
1&1: EU regulations are taking effect
1&1 expressed satisfaction with the ruling. “This is a good sign for competition and consumer choice,” said Michael Hagenau, managing director of GMX and Web.de. Millions of users could now consciously choose a European provider with strict data protection instead of Gmail. He called it “a tangible signal for digital sovereignty.”Google welcomed the fact that most of the claims were rejected, but expressed concern that the decision undermines the DMA’s goal of harmonizing rules. “We are concerned that the ruling undermines the DMA’s efforts to harmonize regulations,” the American company stated.
Those polar bears are about to turn into brown bears.

It’s Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro (Yes, that’s their actual name, the Wikipedia article has a section about it)
crimeschneck∈🇩🇪⊂🇪🇺@sopuli.xyzOPto Music@lemmy.world•My 5x5 top albums of last month (July 2025)English1·2 months agoYeah, I got it on vinyl. “Radio” is their most popular song. It’s a short but very good album imo with a mix between fun songs (“Radio”, “10 Bier zuviel” and “Scheisse”, I remember) and deeper and darker songs, e.g. “Allein zuhaus”:
Warum hast du mir das angetan?
Ich war doch viel zu jung
Warum hast du mir das angetan?
Ich konnte nichts dagegen tunThere’s also the “song” “Nichts” at the end… well, I won’t spoil it. It’s a funny idea.
