The same crap is going around Instagram and other social media pages. Often when you check out the profiles, they have some link obscured via url shortener that resolves to some random porn site or flat out scam page.
They try to comment first to get upvotes I guess.
Yeah Douyin is pushing educational content and is very fast to censor harmful stuff. Still full of garbage and racism though, just the sanctioned kind against people the government doesn’t like.
Hard pass for me. I get where they are coming from - no buttons, next stage will be wireless charging only, means it’s a fully enclosed system with zero ingress for water or dirt, so that’s kind of neat.
But personally I need at least a power button and volume up/down. And I love the slider for different sound profiles on OnePlus phones.
Any examples? I’ve lived in 10 countries so far and am about to move to the 11th end of this month. Neither of them had a US military presence (Liberia did have a massive UN presence though), and all of them required an academic record to grant a residence permit.
I believe Georgia (the country) was the only one that didn’t, but that’s because of a special agreement they have with the EU.
Because those countries are happily accepting uneducated immigrants, right?
Correct, so it should be independently reviewed and recreated to validate the claims. Crying wolf just because there were issues before wouldn’t be fair.
The research has been published. Everybody in the world is free to replicate it. The CCP is no more or less capable of doing so, just because it happened on their turf.
You need to draw the line between a country’s government and some of its brightest minds. This is a scientific breakthrough, and should be celebrated as such. Period.
It’s creating a RAM drive and just keeps working from there. You can even plug the stick back in and save files on it, if needed.
I didn’t use any video resources back when I got into it, so really couldn’t tell, sorry. But I’m sure there will be some networking 101 courses on youtube.
Entry level networking technician. You can get a bunch of useful Cisco certifications for free on their website. Try to get yourself an old switch from ebay to practice setting up a small network, vlans etc., and you’ve got a solid start.
I thought art majors are designate taxi drivers.
A heavily curated blocklist for google news. I’ve got 220 “news” outlets removed, so that I basically just get something from about 20 remaining sources displayed.
I don’t really follow individual authors or content producers for news anymore, sooner or later they all go downhill in quality.
The city administration of Munich switched to Linux, migrated all data and users, trained them etc. for millions of Euros, and then eventually switched back some years later since staff productivity was way down, and users didn’t feel comfortable in the OS environment.
You can’t enforce a change. Linux is great, especially so for tech enthusiasts, but the average (or probably below average) user might have a hard time to adjust.
And when performance is measured in workforce efficiency, then you have to accept that it’s simply not suited for every environment.
One good pillow is really all it takes for me. I swear by duck feathers.
I can’t deal with more than one.
I think that’s probably also due to the fact that the most dominant dialect in Norwegian media seems to be the one from Bergen, somehow half of the country’s actors, comedians and other celebrities are from there, so there is a way above average online presence there. And Bergans is the hardest Norwegian accent to understand (the Ylvis brothers for example speak Bergans). It’s closer related to Danish than any other Norwegian dialect.
On the other side, Norway has some 500 local dialects that differ slightly from one another, when I was living there people always tried to guess which region I was from, and nobody actually thought I’m not Norwegian at all, so that was fun.
If you want to practice your listening skills a bit, I’d really recommend watching Kongen Befaler (the Norwegian version of the Taskmaster comedy franchise). The Taskmaster subreddit has direct downloads in their wiki, also for the Swedish version (Bäst i Test) and Denmark (Stormester). Unfortunately there isn’t a community on Lemmy and I’m lacking the time and commitment to start one myself.
Swedish is also spoken in Finland as a national language, and a mandatory school subject. They are all fluent in English regardless, but it’s nice to be able to communicate in one of the local languages. It’s the official language in the Åland Islands archipelago, and a second language all along the southern coast plus the greater Espoo/Helsinki area.
I’ve got full working proficiency in Norwegian (B2/C1 I guess, never took the Bergenstest) and can talk perfectly fine with a Swede. We understand 80-90% and can guess the rest. Danish is though though, the written language is 99% identical with Norwegian, but they have a very guttural way of forming sounds that makes it hard to understand. The pronunciation is closer related to Dutch than to any other Scandinavian language.
Blocking instances works with the OG Lemmy, but they didn’t build the function into the app, you’d have to go through the website (that one time only).
Or can you block all users of a specific instance with Voyager?
