I made an account a long while ago when it was the only instance with any content but I'm just a lurker looking for memes and tech news. Feeling like I should change instance these days...

Where I live people have mixed langauge conversations fairly regularly by mixing their native language with whatever they're trying to learn - usually German or English, so that reaction is probably automatic.

At this point it's almost a rule in itself that the title has rule in it in some way so there are many plays on the word but that's not official it's more of a community driven joke. It also came from the original 196 community on reddit.

Have you tried any of the news sources that aim to aggregate and debias news stories?

Two that I use are:

Ground.news

ImproveTheNews

They provide summaries, and also a breakdown of different sources reporting the stories. I find them pretty interesting and useful.

I use Ubuntu for work and have no issues with it to be honest. I install everything via apt, I think a few things are via snap but nothing that I've installed directly. It's stable and I can get on with stuff. I definitely am not a fan of the move towards snap and the app store: if I was to choose I'd go vanilla Debian.

Long time lurker here, 99% of the time I go to post a comment I delete it before posting like ah fuck it. I'm trying to engage a bit more now there are more users.

I'm on Kbin but I'm not really sure what the future of the project holds, and the lack of an app (except as PWA) makes the experience less enjoyable than Lemmy IMO. Also on Discuit which is smaller and feels pretty organic and relaxed; I tend to engage more there.

I aim to whelm.

Maybe whelmed is just the regular state of being: when expectations are lived up to, but not exceeded?

Obligatory switch from shapefile link.

Unfortunately Shapefile is a proprietary format developed by ESRI. QGIS handles it just fine though no problems.
