Hey I’m not advocating the usage of it, I’m just answering a question.

I think some of the communities are just good fun, I’m not judging any of the characters who visit the instance. But I agree that some of the communities and some of its patrons have a not so open minded view of the world and prefer to speak in a language of hate rather than a language of love. I stand against that. But I do stand against broad censorship in the grand scheme of things. I prefer a world when people can say anything they like as long as they take the time to look at issues from several angles that do not correspond with their own. Right wing, left wing, it doesn’t really matter as long as we all take the time to really appreciate where someone else is coming from.

As long as their opinion is sufficiently substantiated.

And I do concur with you that hate speech towards any groups of people in general is not a part of that discord.

It’s on free instance Hilarious Chaos. I think it’s called Shitty ask lemmy

I’ve got a P400 desktop and it handles everything it should. The matrix of another commenter is an important document to keep handy.

Bro just use /s bro. You can’t assume people can read your tone bro, sarcasm is subtle when written bro.

Just try it bro. We think you’ll really like it once you see what it has to offer. It’s really just all so convenient and it’s really not that expensive. Try our family plan to get an even higher discount bro. Access your files from literally anywhere bro. Copilot can help you with anything you need bro.

It was in my notifications. I figured I might as well give you the info anyway.

The song ‘Bob’ by Weird Al Yankovic, which is all palindromes, does contain the original.

Borderlands 3, the Fustercluck DLC

For the record, the original sentence is ‘go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog’. It’s from a big book of palindromes. The quote is from when the psycho Krieg yells super random stuff.

Do you mean Nicaragua?

Go hang a salami, I’m a palindrome

You’re somewhat correct of course but the NSFW tag exists for a reason. If there is one entire category of /all you can just filter out due to lack of interest, it should be stuff like that. Maybe at some point we’ll also get an ‘AI’ tag.

The pro of being able to ‘safely’, for lack of a better term, browse /all is being able to discover stuff that you are not subscribed to, stuff you might not find otherwise.

Since Fairphone is Dutch it kinda makes sense they’d make this mistake. I suppose if you’d e-mail them about it they’d be open to making the change. They’re probably not even aware of it.

It gets more difficult if even the script is different. I once installed some Chinese app that would put the language picker in Mandarin and their symbols. I really didn’t know how to change it to anything I could understand so I’d go by all of them one by one until I found a language I understood.

I didn’t realise

Not sure what you mean by this. Are you just trying to gage some reason because it’s a German company? They made heating pads, heated blankets, stuff like that.

Oh man, there’s this German company Beurer that makes simple equipment for medical home application. They make this sort of zapper thing, which is battery oper and it just heats the shit out of a little ceramic plate. Put that on a bug bite, it heats away the irritation. No more itch, no more venom in your body, just gone.

I am no longer careful around biting bugs. Keep in mind it’s not supposed to work for stingers.

I figured for 15 euros it’d be too bad if it doesn’t work but I now can’t imagine not having it.

I’ve since also bought a TENS/EMS machine of theirs and a laser hair removal tool is underway for my wife.

I completely trust this company based on just two products.

I’ve been learning Portuguese for well over two years now. I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on sentence building. The grammar of verb tense is sometimes still somewhat confusing and I think I’ve got a lot of words to learn still.

But if I read posts on Lemmy in Brazilian Portuguese, I kinda get the gist of it.

Does your host have a Plex pass? If not, you’ll need a remote pass to watch from outside the host’s network. Or your host needs a plex pass. They implemented this a while ago.

I take an injection every four weeks, they cost 600 each. Add up a few visits to the dentist, GP and a check up at an academic hospital and I’d pay about a third of the actual cost.

Then again my dad never has any ailments, lives a healthy lifestyle with a lot of exercise and he pays the same.

Yep the issue with our system is that people who never see a doctor or a hospital pay for the ones that have been dealt a rough hand or live unhealthy. The idea is that being ill is not the standard. You should be able to do a Pareto analysis of costs and it might check out.

It varies per country. If you would go to the Netherlands, you’d still need health insurance. You can only get it if you are a Dutch citizen in some way. The costs of this are about 180/month. Plus you have what we call your own risk. If you need healthcare you pay 385 maximum yourself. If you can’t pay that, there are installment plans. And if the 180 a month is too steep for you, there is support from the Belastingdienst (IRS) that is dependent on your income.

So example: if you need an operation that is covered in basic Dutch health insurance and you would live here for a year on work visum, you might pay 2400 a year in insurance costs and 385 own risk, totaling to 2785. If the operation would cost more than that in the US, you’re in luck.

This is all provided you can get health insurance in the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands, as a Dutch citizen, health insurance is mandatory.

There’s loads of things in tv shows that just skip the boring, logistical parts. Nobody wants to see a bookkeeper painstakingly taking leaflets and bets in orderly fashion.

Besides, if there’s no record whatsoever, what’s to stop a bookie from taking money from the losers, and telling the winners ‘prove it’? Besides a knuckle sandwich, that is.

Another one is basically any desk job, but particularly IT jobs in TV and movies. Even the most elite hackers don’t just insert a thumb drive in a laptop, hammer the keyboard and yell ‘I’m in’. Mr. Robot is the only show so far where hacking is portrayed somewhat believable, and it’s still mostly social engineering.

As for programming, the only show I’ve ever seen who do a realistic way of describing VC funding and agile project development is Silicon Valley, but even there you’ll find the most boring things are just omitted.

Point is, it’s just difficult to make administrative tasks interesting enough to keep the attention of viewers.
