  • I mean, all that are privately owned. A system that puts profit above all else will never have any corporation that acts ethically and in the interest of society.

    But I also wanna mention, Nestlé isn't a particularly evil corporation. It's just the only food corporation where we know these things they've been up to but you can be damn sure the others aren't any better.

  • I just don't think it looks very good. I know that everyone has different tastes of what looks good but I personally love modern design when it comes to UI and IMO Android was the best looking OS UI and right after that GNOME. But part of why I think both of them look so good and why I think they even look better than Apples design, is that they don't use blur. I don't think it really fits into the Material 3 design language.

  • He's just like me fr

  • I'm not even a scientist but I know that it's A LOT, I don't think it would be easy to get an actual number

  • Coke is a white powder, kind of like snow, so people just started using the snowflake emoji for it at some point

  • I've used Linux for years and I also have a ~/Applications folder where I put AppImages, applications cloned with git and stuff like that in. E.g. I have the last Yuzu AppImage in there, since it got taken down, but I also made a .desktop file for it, so I can launch it through the application menu. Btw, you should be able to just double click AppImages in your file explorer to open them.

  • I use TikTok and I didn't know it had anything like that

  • Fascists are rising up all over the world, it's the same here. The fascists have already taken power in the US and it looks like they'll do the same here in Germany too if nothing majorly changes. As soon as our economic system encounters a really bad recession, people notice that something's going wrong and needs to change. Fascists take that opportunity to give people easy enemies to blame, saying that the "others" (nowadays that's mostly muslims, immigrants and trans people) just need to be removed from society and everything will be fine again. They find explanations for why that's the case and justify it by saying that they just want to "remigrate" them and also only the bad ones that don't work and stuff like that. What they want to do and how they want to do it never changes tho, they're still fascists no matter how many justifications and euphemisms they find for the cruel things they want to do. Unfortunately, their strategy still works perfectly, partly because they're being supported by the rich. The rich know that the change people want will either result in fascists taking power, in which case they'd still be able to make loads of money, or leftists taking power, in which case their wealth would be taken away and given back to society. And just like with the companies they own, profit is always more important than human lifes. The fascists have convinced large parts of the population, the nationalised media (that was established after WW2 as a neutral source of information, so fascists can't spread their propaganda, didn't work out that well) and neoliberal politicians (so everyone who's not in Die Linke or the AFD).

  • You can filter instances by language on the join lemmy site and then look at the communities on those instances. It seems like there's no arabic instances but it seems like there's a russian one.

  • I know that OP already found the solution but I just wanted to chime in because every person who commented completely misunderstood the question. It's normal that some extenions don't support the new version after updating GNOME but in that case, the switch will be disabled and it will show you a warning that the extensions doesn't support the new GNOME version. OP clearly stated that they could still switch the extensions on and off. Besides that, most extensions will already have been updated to support the new version by the time the Fedora update comes out, so it wouldn't make sense that all the extensions wouldn't work anymore.

    As a tip, you can install "Extension Manager" instead of the default "Extenions" app and besides being able to install extensions right through the app, it also has an "Upgrade Assistant" function, which lets you check which of your extensions support the GNOME version you specify. That way you can check if your extensions will work in the new GNOME version before updating.

  • I mean, China is obviously not some saint but those suicide nets seem like a good thing to me. People throw themselves off of buildings here in the west too but at least the people who installed those nets care enough to try to prevent those people from killing themselves.

  • That's the solution I used in the end too. It was for my parents TV, which is a smart TV with an OS that just sucks. I have a server with Jellyfin and every time they wanted to open that, they had to navigate to the app store, open that, open "Web App Tester" and then click the link for Jellyfin. The TV was also really slow in general, it always took like half a minute to connect to our WiFi after turning on and it randomly started to flicker. Then I found the Xiaomi TV Box, which comes with a bluetooth remote and can be hooked up to a TV over HDMI. It runs Google TV, which is just the new name for Android TV, so it has Jellyfin as an app and all the other issues were fixed as well. I know that still sucks privacy wise but my parents don't care about that and they just wanted something that works. We also wanted to replace the smart TV with a dumb TV at first but all the dumb TVs we could find were a lot smaller and only 1080p instead of 4k, so we just disconnected the smart TV from our WiFi. This new setup is an improvement in every way and we can replace the TV itself and the Xiaomi TV Box independently if we ever need to.

  • I completely agree with you that all forks in the image suck. The part that you stick into the food shouldn't be rounded like that, it should be straight, so when you take it out of your mouth, it glides through your lips uniformly without some weird bumps. It should also have enough space in between the thingys, so you don't just cut your food in half when sticking it in. Then the handle, there's no reason for it not to be straight either. My hand doesn't have weird bumps like that, so the handle shouldn't either. It should also not be that flat, so it's nicer to grip.

    Once I move out of my parents house, I'm definitely gonna buy forks like the one in your image. This is the best fork I've ever seen. Everything is straight without weird bump, it's not gonna cut my food in half and the handle is thick, so it's nice to grip. I don't understand how people who design things like this just don't think about making them nice to use. Do they stop themselves from thinking about how the thing they make would actually be used or what?

  • Thanks, didn't know this existed

  • I live in Germany and I would love to buy a chinese EV but I just can't find any place that sells them. You just can't really order cars online from China like you can with other products.

  • Hey hey hey, hold on just a second. It's not called "maximizing profits", we don't do that! It's called ✨innovation✨
