  • it's pretty capable in term of most functionalities but you can't get the formatting, e. g. word docs, exactly one-to-one with its MS office version counterpart. So it would be difficult to share to multiplatforms users.

    And Microsoft intentionally introduce bugs in its files design so that certain functionalities will be extremely difficult to replicate.

  • The problem is not the server. One of the reasons is because lemmy world is being DDoS attacked by certain party with grudges. Because lemmy is not used to this kind of attack, which is made difficult by way it is designed and open source nature where the attacker can easily uncover vulnerabilities, it took some times and learning to mitigate them. You can open new account in other instances or move if that's too much inconvenience for you. No one is stopping you.

  • OP will lose his UAE localized benefit if he do that - something I won't suggest. I would suggest to just open a new account as we can have more than one concurrent accounts. That's how I did it so I currently still keep my old Europe account. I post on this in the same comment thread.

  • One other simple way is to open a new Google account by using new email and associate it with your bank account in India. You can have more than one accounts in concurrent. Then, you can install the app using the new Google account. That way, you won't lose your dubai account which might have certain regional benefit.

    If your new installed app is still associated to UAE account, even though you install it through the new account, you need to install it through browser (not through Google Play app). Uninstall current app, and then sign in to Google Play with the new account through the Web browser. Install the lemmy app through there. The new install app should be associated to the new account.

  • Thank you Lj. The price for add-free in Malaysia currency is very reasonable for me. It's been reduced to 1/3 of previous price. Considering USD1.00-> MYR4.50, I think the reduction is roughly in proportion to currency rate. and the living cost in Malaysia. If you could reduce the price of Ultra in the same proportion as the add-free, I will most likely subscribe to Ultra. So I'll wait until you expand the pricing for Ultra before making my decision.

    I would suggest (current Ultra price)/4.5 which is the currency rate wrt USD.

  • That person you're dealing with got a confirmation bias syndrome. The best they can do if to provide any sources they can find to justify their skewed argument.

    Let me just provide different source to counter-prove that, to show the Indian government is taking care of their fellow citizens - government banned the export of non-basmati white rice to “ensure adequate domestic availability at reasonable prices". To keep rice at reasonable price is good enough to show that the country is taking care of its citizens and not letting them starving - countering the argument being put forward by sub-OP above. So, to totally claim that India is neglecting its citizens will be misleading.

    To tell you the truth, I don't even like Modi, but I couldn't care less. You have a country and its citizens to deal with, your own domestic issues- its not me to judge. But to bash a country like the Mr-know-it-all above did, that'shitty. It's like trying to impose one solution for all the world's problem. To put it bluntly, that's shallow-minded.

  • They can if they stop paying for what the vast majority of the world considers basic decency.

    No. They can't. Have you ever been travelling the world, where your ideology is derived not just based on what you read and taught? Not every country can afford and even if they can, have the technology to do space exploration.

    But it's pretty telling you keep repeating Indian propaganda while claiming you live in a different country you won't disclose.

    Because I am being realist, to express my view without being bias; not like you. Yes, there are propaganda in play, but that's not the whole. story. At one point it about domestic interests i.e. to fulfill their locals needs. One the other hand is about national interests - to fulfill the need of their citizens by securing the country against external threats. And how do any country deal with this two needs is based on what they can afford. They can't simply let go of one aspect to concentrate on the other. There's a level of compensation to be made. That's basic knowledge - but it seems that you have a difficulty to understand that.

    You don't seem to realize it, but the way you write is like you are a from a propaganda media being hired to bash on another country (India for this case) and to nitpick every little faults you can find. First you talk about India's (space technology) propaganda, then suddenly you dive 180-degree south talking about them starving their locals. It doesn't make sense to mix these two arguments together. It's like you try to go all out to prove the India are evil. It's like me telling you that you country is shitty for having big military and space defence budgets when the money should be allocated to you local citizens to eradicate homelessness, illiteracy, poverty, racial disparity and thousands of other problems in your country. But it would be stupid for me to say that for the same reason I stated before - your country needs to weigh its resources wisely between locals and national needs. But you don't seem to understand that. Or maybe you do understand but you don't really care because you're driven by your own little agenda.

  • No, any country that wants to pay for it can.

    No my country can't.

    He's letting children starve and develop life long issues so people like you do what you're doing right now.

    I am. not even Indian. I reckon what ever he's doing affect me the same way it affect you. And I don't even like him.

    But I am not that bias to mix national interest with domestic interest - to paint bad picture on a target, to excavate the worse and burying the good.

  • The very fact that they can send working spacecraft is already an accomplishment. How many countries can do that?

    They are not yet a world power even if they claim to be. No doubt about that. But they are projected to become one in the not so near future. No doubt about that too.

  • Used to be termite for its minimalist feature. Now that it's gone I move on to Wezterm. Occasionally I use alacrity to connect to armbian nodes because it can't recognize wezterm. I hate kitty, not because of the terminal itself, but the dev. There is a snarky comment at github issue made by kitty's dev when people request for a termite-like feature. It drove me to uninstall kitty straight away.

  • Yes... partly due, or minutely due. It's not like they're building their success overnight. Their main sector is service, and partly manufacturing which used to be their main sector. And have been building strong reputation that's good enough to attract expats. Take the expats away, they can still thrive. They've got very competent locals breeded from their hight quality school system and many top 50 universities, which is a lot considering their size.

    For the low skills needs they import the migrant workers. Take that away... no worry, many other will come. They threat their workers well - not like the middle eastern counterpart.

    They are like night and day compared to Qatar/UAE.

    So, to get back to your last sentence: Take that away... no big deal.

    p/s: this is my rational view as their overlooking neighbour.
