  • Default app store for my Volla phone. I'm the ultimate hipster and I'm proud of it!

  • It doesn't look that well covered, no? I think I already saw geologists with some sort of reflecting gear to shield themselves from radiation. This must make things even more unbearable.

  • Lol, there was a joke about "woh-men" in the game Disco Elysium, if I'm not mistaken. But the game only tells you "the world is in danger from the mysterious Wo-men". Maybe some players never realised it critisized sexism?

  • That was very informative, thank you! I learned a bit of Esperanto, and I think Zamenhof was really aware about the derivation part. It really makes learning a new language easier if words with a similar meaning share a root.

  • "Are you gonna start grilling?" Damn, kids pick up on stereotypes quite quickly!

  • I must admit, I have been seen in the "have you ever been on fucking sofa" position quite a few times.

  • English not being my first language, I can relate to that thought 😅

  • I'm French, it's absolutely true. Some TV presenters now avoid the misunderstanding by pronouncing GPT the English way. The giggles must have become annoying I guess...

  • I concur, cities are cosmopolitan in their nature. Being confronted to diversity brings socialist ideas more easily than living in a secluded countryside, where everyone is the same.

    Though it can bring rejection and discrimination as easily.

  • Well they said their servers were powered by renewable energy up to 99% and they host French and English communities. I'm an environmentalist who speaks French and English. When I saw that I said : "That's my home now!"

  • I would even call it social justice. Great visual analogy nonetheless.

  • In a way it's understandable, people who are drawn to this community might be quite vulnerable to mention of suicide. Then again, some of them may need a space to discuss their suicidal thoughts. There's no easy answer to this problem. Blurr suicide related posts in feeds maybe? Not ideal still.

  • That's exactly how I feel sometimes. And you can replace right wing extremist with misogynist, it still works.

  • Well, I understand they have to pay for the real journalist work. So you'll occasionally see a piece about how awesome it is to get married in Qatar! If you can see through the underhanded deals, it's not a big deal. Just don't count of them mentioning human rights issues about foreign workers' working conditions in the construction sector.

  • I generally get my global news from BBC world news. They're pretty professional, to the point without getting sensational. Euronews is pretty good too, with a bit more focus on European events obviously. You just have to be aware they've sold their soul to Qatar. Other than that they're unbiased too.

  • I guess some users of tech lemmy might have felt concerned by this.

  • Damn, I did 2 years of physics studies but I never heard about atto and exa. Though I did spend a lot of time to try to memorise the other ones.

  • We call those not far enough to the left "social democrats". And they're proud of it generally, since the term implies they're part of the polite/non radical democracy. So they argue those farther to the left are anti-democratic.

  • Now I'm trying to think what would be the equivalent of the "liberal" insult in my country... We hear a lot of you're the "extreme left", just as bad as the extreme right. You're "outside of the republican/democratic frame". As in you're too radical too be part of the "polite democratic society".

  • The real question is how many times a day does the security team has to go check on a false alert because somebody's finger slipped?
