Not sure if it’s my favourite, but I definitely haven’t seen it mentioned on the internet: Kai Chronicles!

It’s an app with the entire lone wolf saga CYOA books in digital format, for free, no ads.

Definitely would recommend.

Yeah, it’s the same thing that lets us have a site like lemmy

Pretty cool, now if only more people would start using it…

90% of the time if I ask for help on forums the answer will be one of three things:

• Completely absent

• Just google it scrub lmao (nevermind the fact that search has gone to shit)

• Doesn’t actually answer the question

Not at all, Sweden during the ABBA age was completely nuts. There was no cap on taxes, and as such, you could incur a more than 100% marginal tax rate.

Astrid Lindgren (the beloved childrens book writer) was amongst those affected.

• Do not kill, or through intentional action cause physical harm to another human being, except in defence.

• Every human has the right to their own body, thoughts and words, upon which nothing except the above law shall infringe.

• Where it does not conflict with previous laws, respect physical property of the public and other individuals - it is not to be destroyed, taken or abused without permission of its holder(s).

Now that devices are starting to have built in features with AI automatically combing through all information on them, the idea of this sort of stuff being logged in the first place is concerning.

For instance, should someone prompting an AI to describe them beating up and torturing their boss be flagged for “potentially violent tendencies”? Who decides the “limit” where “privacy” no longer applies and stuff should be flagged, logged and sent off to authorities?

As I see it, the real issue is people being hurt, not text or fictive materials, however sickening they might be.

If the resources invested in spying on people and making databases were instead directed towards funding robust and publicly available psychiatric care I expect that’d be more efficient.

Krita is nice overall, but I have some minor gripes with certain tools behaving unintuitively. May just be because I’m used to GIMP, but some simple stuff such as cropping a layer is not at all convenient.

I didn’t mind ads on YT back in the day when skipping was available right away, or after 3 seconds. That was a long time ago though.

Yeah it’d be a similar reaction if Jasmine & Aladdin were recast as northern Europeans. Sure it’s a fantasy tale, but the story is set in a fantasy version of Arabia.

It’s certainly interesting to read about the contrast between how Haiti & the Dominican Republic developed during the time period - particularly since both were in a similarly empoverished state at the middle of the 20th century.

In addition to what @LwL said - It has to do with how testing is done, and that some diseases can’t really be tested for. It is quite expensive, and is generally done on small samples from lots of people mixed together. If it is positive they split the batch and test again (look up binary search).

The lower the incidence rate of diseases, the larger batches can be done. Ditching certain denographics with significantly higher risks for certain diseases can make testing orders of magnitudes cheaper and faster. (Other groups, at least where I live, include people who recently changed partner, recently went abroad, have ever gotten a blood transfusion, have gone through a recent surgery, have recently been sick, etc. etc.)

Mint is a very nice starting distro tbh, it was my first too!

Accounting for taxes and grid fees, between 0.05€ & 1.2€/kWh depending on the season.

The court’s order for an injunction applies only to the sections relating to defining and reporting data on content violation categories. Social media companies will still be under the remainder of AB 587’s requirements, which include semi-annually creating publicly viewable reports to California on the current terms of service, how automated systems enforce the terms of service, how companies respond to user-reported violations, and what actions the companies take against violators.

Seems like the higher courts ruling is sensible overall.

It’s hypocritical, and I don’t like it. With that said, most politicians are hypocrites, which is why I generally dislike politicians.

I download videos using revanced and seal, works flawlessly. Really neat.

Those 5 requirements are not small things, but as a (relatively) recent linux migrant, here’s my take.

1. Keep using iTunes (but use the windows version) - through wine. You get to keep all your stuff as is for now with the possibility of migrating to another service in the future.

2. See above, stick with your current device, keep using iTunes for now.

3. If it’s for private stuff LibreOffice suite does just fine though + the thunderbird email client. If it’s for work you should probably have a work device, but there is also winapps for linux, which isn’t official by microsoft, so it might be a bit funky.

4. Maybe try out proton if you want something trustworthy to back up your photos. They’ve recently added a service for that. Costs a subscription though.

5. Keep using evernote. There’s a linux client.

Obviously there will be hickups, and things’d be a lot more smooth if you were willing to make some adjustments, but this is perfectly doable.
