puts all kinds of restrictions to your rights
The document mentions a lot of US laws. I wonder if they try the same over in the EU.
As in: we [users in general] almost never tag the content of our messages by language
May I ask how one would go about doing that? I know it's a feature of the protocol, but it seems to be inaccessible to me on my client of choice (Jerboa). The vanilla web UI seems to have even less feature accessibility
It's history they want to repeat, not the present they want to accept
Agreed. Amnesia mode would be a much better name, but I feel if Firefox changed to it some uninformed users might thing Chrome's Incognito mode was somehow safer.
That sounds terrible. I'm sorry it happened to you. Is there any chance of the condition reversing?
May I ask what your symptopms are? As an avid coffe drinker myself I'd like to avoid that as much as possible - I try to limit my caffeine intake but coffe just tastes great to me for some reason and I don't even know if it's the caffeine or just the experience that gives me the puah I need to keep going at whatever it is I have.
Because you pretty much need a seperate Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon account. I've heard that it's somehow possible to see Lemmy posts from Mastodon, but I haven't really been able to understand it. Apparently, it's janky as hell, but I wouldn't know, as I just have 3 accounts I use, one for each 'service'.
Since I moved during the Reddit fiasco when servers were overloaded and didn't know what I was doing I just hopped from instance to instance. So now I have at least 7 dead accounts that are still probably counted in the 'users' statistic.
I'd say one person counting for ~10 is significant, and I doubt I'm alone, even if I am an outlier with my instance-hopping
A lot (if not all) Fedi users have multiple accounts on various instances and platforms, so that also inflates the figure
And then the higher quality pool has a larger percentage of bots than the standard one
Ironically, even if OP missed the point, the apps pictured are resource hogs and all of them don't need to run on starup other than Defender.
Sure, leave OneDrive/Dropbox on if you use it. Leave Spotify if you just need your music to start blasting the second you reach the desktop. If opening Steam and waiting ~30 seconds for the lord Gaben-given daily update is too much of a problem let it do its thing on startup, but who in their right mind needs Soptify, OneNote and all the gaming clients slowing down startup of literally everything?
And CCleaner, McAffee and Adobe can go fuck themselves along wirh Nestle.
After Brexit there's no justification for speaking English yet they mostly communicate in English.
Republic of Ireland is still an EU member, so the EU is still obligated to treat it as an EU language.
Also, the EU is quite rational and english isn't going anywhere even if Ireland bailed since it's the lowest common denominator as far as foreign languages go.
I feel that that comment adds some nuance to the discussion, so I wouldn't call it 'moot' myself.
I'd argue english ortography is a lot more pointlessly convoluted than french numbers (*cough* *cough* ough)
I'd like to interject for a bit, if I may.
While german has cases, somewhat more complex verbs and gendered nouns, english also has its peculiarities that make it hard for non-natives to learn. Things like spelling and using the same word in a bazillion contests and methaphor-based idioms come to mind first. There are also simple-to-understand pecularities like its/it's and paid/payed which not even natives get right sometimes.
The point being, for all the "hard" and "useless" parts of one language the other language (as it's always comomparing apoles to oranges) has similarily "hard" and "useless" features itself, so in my opinion it more or less evens out.
What makes a language "easier" or "harder" to learn is how much of it you already know. In other words that's usually how similar it is to the languages you know already.
There's the letter and there's the spirit of the law. Even if Apple has found a brilliant loophole the courts can just say well it's technically true but you're still breaking the law nonetheless, lawyer budget be damned.
Thanks a lot!
With the Holocaust, it was only after the Allies showed the extermination camps that finally the public in the Allied countries came to believed the horrors that went on for years.
I don't think tha main reason for outrage was it becoming known. The main reason was that not being outraged suddenly became a bad thing for you personally - the Nazis were left powerless, Hitler dead, many prominent Nazi figures imprisoned - the Nazi bandwagon was burning and anyone with a functioning brain saw the writing on the wall - get off before I, too, get burned. And so they wept.
The same is true for all of history's tragedies. Make of that what you will.
Mind giving some context on the Pauline chapters thing? Seems interesting AF to spend an afternoon on.
A handful of egos and pockets are more important than thousands of lives
