  • That turns them generally on or off. That setting was already toggle on. I turned it off and on again and restarted the app, but it didn't show the message again.

    As I said...i saw the changelog message and closed it. I just want to view it again.

  • Connect for Lemmy App @lemmy.ca

    show changelog again after closing it

  • Thanks for the clarification. I would even say that I mostly agree with the sentiment. Immigration has been a pointless discussion for years now and I think no party (except the AFD) actually profited from it. SPD and die Grünen have both failed to disspell the AFD narrative.

  • Well...I think you lost me. The really sudden loss of your job sucks, no matter what. I agree that a lot of people get laid off every day, but I feel sorry for them too. Employee protections in the US are also terrible compared to a lot of other countries. This situation is different, because it is so random, so far reaching and connected with a lot more insecurity. An ailing company may fire people...that is something you can see coming, but what is happening right now is just senseless and not very smart. A lot of things will break and in the end people will die, many people will leave the country and the economy will tank.

  • While I can only guess, I think he/she meant that all the stupid things the government has done so far should not have come as a surprise to anyone. They announced most of it and even the things they kept "quiet" were pretty obvious. So government employees could have searched for alternative jobs beforehand and kind of "brace for impact" and unions could have planned a coordinated response to bullshit firings. Lawsuits could have (and actually have) been prepared so that it would not take months to react to all the stupid stuff that's happening now.

    Or maybe I am completely wrong :)

  • Your feeling for how much things will/should cost will be completely off. Some things will seem crazy expensive, while others are really cheap.

    Others said it, but I'll say it as well: Germans tend to be very friendly, but are not very open. It takes time for us to open up. In my experience, a lot of things (emotions for example) aren't said directly but are said jokingly.

    Germans tend to be direct and use short sentences. Something that can be answered with just one word, WILL be answered with just one word. That can sometimes seem like a harsh reaction to a simple question but really isn't meant as such.

    If you're still in school, it can be very different from what you know. Same goes for university. There are a lot less activities at school (clubs), but that frees up time to do things outside of school. So you have to organize you free-time by yourself and you might just spend that with friends.

    I guess you will also be walking more. This is totally based on my stereotype of American car-focused city building. The larger the cities are in Germany, the worse they get for driving with cars. All larger cities have a good public transport system and that naturally means that one has to walk more (to/from stations). I noticed that myself, when I moved from the countryside to the city.

  • I think this is true for computers that are in danger of being stolen. Laptops or PCs in dorms or other shared living spaces. But I live in a relatively secure area, burglaries are very rare and my PC never leaves the building. So the benefits of encryption are pretty much negligible.

  • I had no cancer, but know people that did and one thing that came up often is that people tend to distance themselves from them. Not in a mean way, but dealing with special needs is tedious and that is often just a cause to not do certain things. Spending time together (no matter what you end up doing) gives a sense of normalcy and can really push someone to keep fighting. Cancer is a marathon with additional sprints (chemo) on top. Not being alone through all of this is a huge help

  • I think it points to the character on the left that looks a bit like a character from "Among us". And they used the available icons to write a name close enough to that (Abong up)

    But that's just a guess....

  • I....don't get it. This is an old way to help a child that has something stuck in their throat. I mean, the heimlich maneuver was first described in 1974, so I guess this WAS in fact the best technique at the time. Keeping someone from suffocating is kind of important, and this seems like something you can do fast and easy (at least with a relatively small person).

  • Their concern is not solely based on the gene modification. The impact of introducing a new crop is bigger than that. The golden rice is patented and that often comes with a ton of regulations the local farmers have no control over.

    While I wish for there to be a good way to solve the food problem AND find a good use for gene modification, I don't think that this particular instance is it....

  • How do they know that you wrote it yourself and didn't just steal it?

    This is a rule to protect themselves. If there is ever a case around this, they can push the blame to the person that committed the code for breaking that rule.

  • I think you already gave yourself the answer in your own case:

    Because I give zero crap about what other people think of me.

    This applies to people that aren't in your inner circle. You want HER to be in that circle and suddenly it actually does matter what SHE thinks of you. You have little to lose with people you don't really care about, but everything to lose with people you do care about. It's an evil social twist that makes everything so complicated. High self-esteem is just the ability to quickly pull yourself up when you fall and the knowledge that you actually CAN do so. It mitigates the risks of "putting yourself out there".

  • Addiction is not something you can control. In a way she was sick and there is not very much she could have done. Sure, "don't take drugs while pregnant" or "don't get pregnant while being an addict" sound like obvious things, but drugs can cloud your judgement.

    And that is before you even think about what constitutes as a "someone". I don't even want to start the discussion on it, but there IS the question of when a fetus counts as another life/person.

    Why won't my switch look like an actual switch?
