I can understand some parts of Akrikaans. It sounds Dutch but our words are a little different here and there.
Oh and lets not forget Belgian. The north part is Dutch speaking (flamish), but I think they tend to mix less French and English words into the language.
Linux Mint. As an alternative: any kind of BSD is going to be pretty stable.

Yes, hit it spot on there.
They are not only pulling data from all the x sites in the list, also pulling something else in the meantime
Forget about just the web. Modern tech is about to become unusable due to ads.
But god forbid I use ad blocker on Facebook
A parent can flag an account of their children, that the child has to accept. They would of course do this together sitting next to each other, so the child has no choice but to accept. Then, the parent can control the content the child sees.
Honestly age verification other than ID checks will never work. But to send your ID to the owner of an instance is of a whole other level, that the people who join / have joined and even the instance owners are probably unwilling to accept. And they wouln’t be wrong for that.
Well in all honesty: never
Isn’t it wise to do some sort of age check before someone can access the adult subs? If this becomes a trend among teenagers, I can already see parents halting that just because of easy adult access. Pixelfed for instance has parental controls.
Delain (Dutch, started as a side project from one of the Within Temptation members)

I wonder what happened during the small dip . Very good news though!
First things first: if people call me they really have a problem and 9 times out of 10 it is not their fault. But, me standing next to the machine while they reproduce the problem “fixes” it about half the time.
Seems like random glitches that only last a minute or two.
One of my favorite has to be: Delain - April Rain (the album, not just the song)
Partly hollow earth. There are oceans in the crust, I think that is an accepted theory now. Life could have evolved to survive down there. It might not be anything special but a micro-organism is life too.
I did try to federate my blog to Mastodon. Haven’t made a post in a long time though, so I can’t tell if it works or not.
I do believe the type of people and lack of the karma system also makes it better. People do anything to get some karma.
In random order
Loops
Peertube very sparingly. Youtube is still king.
Lemmy. Nuked my 14 year old Reddit account today. Lemmy is great.
Pixelfed
Mastodon
Wordpress if that is counted as federated
No matter how much I hate Mozilla’s new path, companies like this challenging big tech are bold and have a lot of courage. If I set aside my personal op opinions about Mozilla, I actually admire them for this. They can actually dent big tech with funding from big tech itself.
