  • I tried using DDG for about 3 months, until I had to ditch it. I want to use it, but its results are even worse than Googles.

    While on Google I might have to scroll past the ads, sponsored links and obvious AI blog results, the first page will usually at least contain a relevant result somewhere, whereas DDG simply doesn't bother to show any relevant results at all. Even on it's first page, it will stray far from the actual search term.

  • feddit.de has had massive database problems for like 2 months now. It's not accessible via the default web interface, only via third party (web)apps. It's very likely that moderation of feddit.de communities has been increasingly difficult for the mods.

  • its complete trash and dont understand why people seem to love it so much but its huge.

    back when we stil cared, the fact that it was complete trash was why we loved it.
    We looked forward to a bunch of people wearing tinfoil suits performing the most eurodance song you could imagine.
    Or polish girls pointlessly churning butter and washing clothes on stage in an oversexualized fashion.
    Or one of the most epic sax performances.
    Or just Lordi being Lordi

    Particularly, because the ESC was always commented by a radio moderator named Peter Urban who would make the snarkiest remarks about any perfomers.
    No one I know cares about the "serious" performances. Every year, we wait for the ridiculous, over-the-top, pointless performances. Very rarely does the ESC produce an actually good song.

  • it takes basically no extra effort

    I'd assume one needs to verify the email by clicking a link, so to spam [email protected], [email protected] would mean you need access to those inboxes. That means you need to go through the effort to actually create those emailadresses on whatever freemail service you chose, or you need to host the emailserver yourself and have all mails run into a catchall inbox.
    Hosting your own emailserver is definately not "basically no extra effort", even for a lot of tech-savvy people, paying for a hosted email service using your own domain is easier, but also seems like not a good investment just to spam a petition website.

    The [email protected] functionality, however, is pretty well known tool - even by non-tech savvy people. Even some people I know that I consider basically tech-illiterate have known this for years, they have told me when they found out about it and asked me if I was aware of this functionality.

    The first one I mentioned requires preparation, setting up email accounts or an email server, the second one is basically already set up for most email users and ready to go, the latter is therefore definately a lot less effort to pull off.

    Fixed my connection issues with 5GHz Wifi

    Hi, I'm Troy McClure Localhorst86.
    You may remember me from legendary films posts like "Mommy, what's wrong with that man's face?", "Lead paint: delicous, but deadly" and "My Steam Deck decides to spontaneously disconnect from my dd-wrt router".

    About 2 weeks ago, I made a post about strange connectivity issues with my steam Deck on my 5GHz WiFi. I'm glad to announce that I was able to further pinpoint my specific issue and how I was finally able to establish a stable 5GHz WiFi connection on my steam deck.

    I figured, an update post could be helpful to give it more visibility.

    I was getting fed up with my connection issues, so I decided to get a new, dedicated WiFi6 accesspoint, to see if it aleviates the issue. The access point arrived about 10 days ago, and once set up, my steam deck was able to hold a continuous connection the the 5GHz WiFI on it. Downloads would start at full blast of my ISP (~30MB/s) for about a minute, then slow down

    Webseite kaputt aber Apps funktionieren?

    Kann es sein dass die Weboberfläche von feddit.de aktuell kaputt ist? Auf der Webseite erhalte ich immer den Fehler "login_incorrect", obwohl ich nicht angemeldet bin.

    Über Voyager kann ich aber noch posts aufrufen und wohl auch abgeben (wird sich zeigen wenn der Post durchkommt.)

    Edit: cache leeren hat funktioniert

    Connection issues when downloading content

    Hello everyone,

    I have posted this question already ten days ago, but apparently federation was broken so it didn't actually reach your lemmy instance, so I am posting it again, apologies if it appears twice:

    recently I noticed that my steam deck has serious connection issues, but only when downloading content (games, updates shader caches etc.)

    The steam deck will download at full blast for a few seconds, then drop slowly to 0kb/s, eventually stopping with the error “content server unavailable” or “no internet connection”.

    The status bar will either show a steam logo with an exclamation mark indicating it can’t reach steam, or an exclamation mark on the wifi signal indicating it can’t reach the internet at all.

    When I put the steam deck into sleep mode and wake it up again, it will download a few hundred megabytes at full blast, only to stall to 0kb/s a short time later. Very rarely will it manage to download a few gigabytes at a time.

    Downloading larger titles therefore require
