The admins made very clear that they don’t tolerate locked communities and will remove mods and assign it to somebody new. So by all means you can suggest people to move elsewhere, but you won’t be having much fun in trying to force them.
In recently purchased Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro with MIUI I see the message app isn’t available for many popular apps, those messages usually show when the android version is old but I have android 13 so I don’t understand why I see those errors so much in the play store.
MIUI is sort of a homebrew OS broadly based on Android. Some things work, others don’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if Xiaomi and OPPO will eventually go the way of Huaweii and develop their own custom OS to lock users into their ecosystem. It’s a China thing.
And while I’m a big fan of Xiaomi products in general, I wouldn’t use any of their phones without flashing the EU ROM first to ensure compatibility with free market tech. If you’re willing to give that a try, the folks at xiaomi.eu are working hard to maintain compatibility.
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...
Back when it was a fiver, I could get the appeal and had a subscription myself.
At 11 bucks it comes at the price of a CD per month, every month. I didn’t buy that much music annually, ever. So right now we are entering a territory where streaming is exceeding the price of my regular music consumption patterns. I’ll go back to buying physical media and torrenting whatever old stuff is no longer available and can’t be found on ebay.
I have no knowledge about songs being banned in the US or not, but I disagree with your assessment of laws being a waste of time. I’m not if favor of a police state whatsoever, but I would consider attending concerts of some right-wing rock concerts as a first step towards radicalization.
Hence, preventing those from occurring where possible might keep gullible people out of the influence of radicals, or in the worst case, help keeping tabs on potential future offenders by being able to charge them with something.
Yes, I trust the encryption layer and the Mozilla Foundation has good ethical principles. I’m also a big fan of Firefox Relay (email alias provider) to protect my inbox from spam.
I took her to the vet and found the owner. I also yelled at them for letting their old dog roam. She’s a sweet old gal, and she shouldn’t be out there. I’ll be checking up on her. Thankfully, they’re going to still let me see her, even though I chewed them out....
I live in a gated community where everybody is a dog owner, they all roam free most of the time. It’s pretty awesome. We also have a whatsapp group with all neighbours, so when we want to know where they are, all it takes is a quick message into the group and the current food dispenser of choice will let us know.
The best thing about that is that we can also just travel for a week or two without bothering. Our dog prefers to sleep in our house, so the next door neighbor will open the door at night & then let her do her thing the next morning.
Wait, I’m in HK right now for business and can open it just fine from my hotel wifi. The website that is, I don’t care about the platform and wouldn’t use the app.
I could play videos just fine without login though. Anything I’m missing?
Ich kenne das Phänomen durchaus, hab mal etwas ländlicher gewohnt, und da gab es so ziemlich exakt das selbe Programm wie bei dir.
Bin dann zunächst ins Ruhrgebiet gezogen wo man mir einen Job angeboten hat (Essen ist weit besser als sein Ruf!), dann von dort nach Berlin und schließlich ins Ausland.
Tatsächlich hat mir das Ruhrgebiet besser gefallen als Berlin, dort ist jeder stationär und macht nur was in seinem eigenen Kiez. Im Ruhrgebiet gibt’s einen viel höheren Drang zur Mobilität. Heute geht man mal in Essen aus, morgen in Bochum, am Wochenende Düsseldorf, etc.
Gibt immer irgendwo Konzerte, Sportevents, abwechslungsreiches Essen, beste Natur und Radwege drumrum.
Ansonsten bin ich auch ein großer Fan von Saarbrücken - mein erster Schritt ins “Ausland“ war nach Luxemburg, und dort hab ich mit einigen Saarländern zusammengearbeitet. Hab nie dort gelebt, aber war oft dort und es hat mir ausgezeichnet gefallen. Viel Kultur, viel Musik, viel Abwechslung, herzliche Menschen. Allerdings schon recht Weinlastig, die Gegend.
Era can be defined as a console generation, a decade, one specific year, whatever you want. I’d encourage you to give a list of your favourite games from the generation of choice and why it was the best to you. Nostalgia is a totally viable reason too....
Around the turn of the millennium. Games were designed for offline use and had way more immersive campaigns, were shipped by and large ready and bug-free, and so were add-on campaigns.
And since graphics were not as refined as they are now, additional efforts were placed on gameplay.
My top list (by release year):
Diablo II (1996)
Dungeon Keeper (1997)
Half-Life (1998)
Thief: The Dark Project (1998)
Thief 2 (1999)
Dungeon Keeper 2 (1999)
Heroes of Might & Magic 3 (1999)
Gothic II (2002)
Never had a console and don’t get along with controllers whatsoever, so those are all referring to the PC versions.
For Thief and Gothic II there are unofficial graphic mods out there that improve things massively. They basically replace the original models with those from Thief II and Gothic 3, and also fix some bugs.
www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152429 - that’s a user made campaign for Thief, the thread also has links to all the patches and updates. The campaign is also absolutely great with overwhelmingly massive maps, but you should play the original first.
I’ve recently replayed Thief and Thief 2, they still hold up well!
Tried Gothic II, and unfortunately the controls feel very clunky today. Or maybe it’s just me. But somehow third person view doesn’t really work for me anymore.
I moved over to Proton from Google because I liked the idea of having an alias for each service. After two months and a Mail Plus trial, I now pay for Proton Unlimited. I use Mail (due to alias linking), Calendar, and Pass often. I don’t really use VPN that much (although it is useful sometimes), and Drive is just too slow. I...
Why not use Firefox Relay? It’s a mail forwarding service with 5 aliases in the free version, and unlimited in paid. I’m using that in combination with my gmail account and it works beautifully.
If you only occasionally need a vpn, the free tier in proton is probably sufficient (but you can’t select servers, they will be assigned at random), and you could use windscribe as a backup (you can select servers in the free tier yourself, but traffic is limited to 10GB per 30 days).
My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)...
I’ve blocked 10 or so instances and over 500 individual communities. Mostly by browsing /new and just killing anything I don’t have the slightest interest in.
The instances I’ve blocked are leftist, furry, porn and anime related, plus one that’s hosting sports communities exclusively.
Der Artikel spricht davon, dass “Die Deutschen (…) immer häufiger zu Fleischersatzprodukten [greifen]”, sagt dann aber, dass “16,6 Prozent mehr Fleischersatzprodukte produziert [wurden] als im Vorjahr”, wobei der Fleischkonsum im Beobachtungszeitraum gerade einmal von 52kg auf 51,6kg pro Person/Jahr zurückging, was knapp 7,7% entspricht.
Für den tatsächlichen Mehrabsatz werden keine Zahlen angeführt. Für mich liest sich das entsprechend wie ein Konsumrückgang, was völlig von der Mehrproduktion entkoppelt sein kann, bestenfalls aber einen moderaten Absatzanstieg bedeutet. Gleichzeitig wird aber dann ein wohl unverkäuflicher Überschuss produziert, der dann entsprechend in der Tonne landet.
