If you were sent back to the roman era and could only bring a backpack of goods. What would you bring?

  • Reddit is dumb enough that they probably have a backup they kept of EU users.

  • Yes, absolutely, its definitely the nicer way of saying it.

  • He said gueule, not bouche. It's the rougher of the two terms.

  • More rough than "can it". Pretty sure the closer translation would be Shut Up.

    I agree with it.

    Taiwan is its own country.

  • The CCP has only ever cared about the public face it presents.

    Consistency between statements has never mattered.

    • Something’s Fishy About the ‘Migrant Crisis’ - The federal government’s dysfunction leaves immigrant-friendly cities feeling overwhelmed.

  • So it still goes from 200-300x the number to being 10-15x. Still an order of magnitude larger. Point still stands.

    Edit: Also NYC itself was creating illegal immigration to Canada, paying for migrants arriving in NYC to be bussed up to Roxham Road and illegally cross into Canada.

  • The amount likely pays a huge role.

    Per the article, the US got 30k immigrants from Ukraine since the invasion started.

    Per this article from September: 2.7 million in 2022, 2.8 million at that point in 2023.

    Per this article mentions that November had an average daily crossings at 6400, and that it went up considerably in December:
    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/record-number-migrant-border-crossings-december-2023/

    Reality is that the number of migrants crossing the US Mexico border is roughly 200-300x more than the number of Ukrainian immigrants. That's why its hard to accommodate them.

    • Spam attack on Twitter/X rival Mastodon highlights 'fediverse' vulnerabilities

    Jump

  • Kbin, literally haven't seen any spam, seen lots about how the fediverse Admins are taking care of it.

    So, thank you mods and admins.

    • This tiny, tamper-proof ID tag can authenticate almost anything

    Jump

  • It's updated RFID tags that are even harder to detect, and unlike the standard ones, require specialized technology to activate, so they get security through obscurity.

    It has nothing to do with NFCs. Likely has a lot to do with the police state ID cards and vehicle tracking that the Bush Administation tried to implement in the late 2000s.

  • Fizban Dragonborn get a much better dragonbreath and a pretty respectable ability at level 5. Regardless of Chromatic, Metallic or Gem.

    And the redone Earth Genasi get to turn any class into limited Barbarian with a bonus Group stealth bonus

    • I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

    Jump

  • Oh I got your point, but I also reject it. Google is objectively making the internet worse.

    There isn't any reasonable comparison to Apple or MS outside of they're all too big and too unregulated.

    Jump

  • Yup. It's a slow process for me, but honestly the fediverse is proving a great resource for that.

  • As a percentage of population, so did Julius Caesar.

    The reality is that Google is entirely dependent on ads and selling your data.

    Apple and Microsoft, it's just a happy side gig they can do.

    Apple makes its money selling mediocre hardware and software for a premium markup.
    Microsoft makes money selling Windows, Office(+Teams) and Azure to business users then from video games, then ad revenue.
