I'm surprised that the effect of major rivers is big enough to be visible on a global map, at least in otherwise saline areas (Amazon, Mississippi, Congo?). Interestingly, the world's longest river (Nile) which drains into one of the saltiest seas (Mediterranean) doesn't register on this scale at all.

Indeed they do; thank you very much for fixing it!

The same happens also with the first two communities of the Active User Growth category:

• [email protected], Business, 2 →828, 333 posts (331 this week)
• [email protected], Antenna Pod, 2 →828, 333 posts (331 this week)

The stats themselves also seem to be off for both: [email protected] may have gotten so many active users but certainly not 331 weekly posts (unless they got mass deleted since). [email protected] appears to only have two posts in the whole community, so both user and post numbers are probably miscalculated.

Soweit ich das verstehe, kann man mit einem Account auf Instanz A bei allen anderen Instanzen mitmachen (lesen/kommentieren) die nicht explizit blockiert sind (was sehr selten vorkommt).

Insofern ist es schon dezentralisiert. Natürlich muss die Instanz der Gemeinde auch online sein um mitzumachen, aber das ist genauso bei zentralisierten Foren wie Reddit. Der Unterschied ist dass, wenn eine Instanz offline ist/blockiert wird, man mit seinem Account immer noch mit anderen Instanzen kommunizieren kann. Das würde bei zentralisierten Seiten wie Reddit nicht funktionieren (wenn Reddit nicht erreichbar ist, sind alle Reddit-Gemeinden weg).

This is a very inaccurate map, as it lumps the actual Italian empire, protectorates and administrated regions all together as one. The map's resolution is very small so it's hard to tell, but some places are marked that were none of the above (e.g. Athens in Axis-occupued Greece).

Even worse though, this map includes regions that were never under Italian control simultaneously. Quoting from the Wikipedia image on the linked article (and which this map is an either accidental or intentional worse copy of):

Italian Colonial Empire. Every territory ever controlled by the Italian Empire as some point in time during World War II. (many of those were not under Italian control until November 1942/early 1943, and East Africa was lost before the conquest of Yugoslavia and Greece in 1941)

Indeed, you can even see French Guyana depicted on the map on the back of the Euro banknotes (usually on a map window in the lower left corner).

I'm on neither of those instances, but all four show up when I search for "patientgamers".

If memory serves, I stumbled across this community from one of my server's community highlighting bot's posts ( [email protected] ), it's a nice way to discover active communities I wouldn't have searched for otherwise.

So wie ich das verstehe ist der Mehrwert der durch die Influencer produziert wird "Unterhaltung" (so nebulös der Sinn des Wortes auch sein kann). Die Werbung kommt dann theoretisch obendrauf.

Bei vielen Influencern fällt allerdings das Verhältnis zwischen Unterhaltung und Werbung mager aus, diesen schmalen Grad versuchen alle zu gehen. Man kann nun mal nur so viel Unterhaltung bieten, aber mehr Werbung(=mehr Geld) kann man immer machen (solange die Kunden/follower weiter zuschalten).

Was die Qualität der gebotenen Unterhaltung angeht, ist natürlich eine weitere Diskussion wert.

I've been playing it sporadically over the past 10 years and I'd say it's a lot of fun! Very easy to get into, even for people with little strategy experience. The mechanics are clear and not overly complex; for beginners and intermediate players I feel like it's just the right balance.

It also runs on pretty much anything (as demonstrated^), so I like having it installed and playing a short skirmish for 20-30' if I'm bored. Alternatively, there's plenty of decent campaigns, and a lot of fan content (and a map editor if you want to try your hands at it).

I've only played it a computer though, so not sure how well the interface works for touchscreens.

Selbst als Bayern-Fan kann ich nur Glückwunsch sagen. Eine wohlverdiente Meisterschaft, mit herausragendem Mannschaftsgefühl. Was Xabi Alonso vollbracht hat kann sich mit den besten Trainersaisons der Bundesliga messen.

Bayern hat nicht einmal so schlecht gespielt diese Saison - Bayer war einfach zu stark. Glückwunsch also, und auf eine interessante nächste Saison.

It would be nice if popular science articles' headlines showed more nuance. "Reveal" is too strong, "suggests" would describe it better.

Interesting study regardless of what findings it represents, though. Analyzing centuries-old grain traces on blades sounds like something out of sci-fi; I wonder what tools archaeology will have at its disposal a few decades from now.

It certainly has a learning curve, and not everything is well designed. However, I think that's unfortunately to be expected of the whole domain; ERP tends to be one of the most complex types of software. The question is, which option makes this whole complexity less painful/overwhelming.

For the scope, features and breadth that Odoo offers, I think it's doing a decent job (albeit with lots of room for improvement).

Is there any alternative ERP system of a ~comparable scope that you could alternatively recommend? Python-based is ideal, but other languages are also fine.
