Ok so are there any big protests planned, on a Sunday, with enough time to prepare?

As a naive European, please someone explain: Why aren't there more people protesting? I don't get it. They don't even state a number here and these pictures look like it's been just a handful of people.

I'm in Germany and after a conservative democratic party voted with the far right AfD in a ballot in parliament last week, there were mass protests with hundreds of thousands of people all across Germany. There were about 200.000 people in Berlin alone.

Meanwhile I feel like in the US, democracy is currently being replaced by fascism in no time and everybody just kind of watches?

I really think he should consider making this app open source in case he doesn't plan on continuing development. He'd be remembered as the guy who made the best open source Lemmy app instead of the guy who made people buy his app and then disappeared a few months later.

88% der AfD für Weidel. Das haben sie doch extra gemacht.

Recommendations would probably depend a lot on what kind of books you like.

One I read recently and loved is "Extremely loud and incredibly close" by Jonathan Safran Foer.

I can’t really go anywhere as I need to save as much money as I can to cover for missed time at work.

By far the most American thing I've read in a while.

Answering the question: How about reading some books?

Get well soon, OP!

I was talking to a colleague in the office hallway who was holding an empty coffee mug. He fumbled with it a bit until it slipped out of his hands. He tried to catch it, got it, it slipped again, and again, and again. He juggled with that thing for what felt like an eternity until he finally caught it safely. I couldn't stop laughing.

Thanks. I use GIMP a lot for small things but without proper non-destructive editing it will never be a serious alternative to Photoshop, unfortunately. Also I rarely use Photoshop, mostly Lightroom.
