  • I've been using newpipe for android for several years.

    It's great. One thing I've learned about these apps though is that they're brittle. Expect them to break, sometimes several times a month. That said, there's never been a case where I've noticed it break but a patch wasn't already released. The thing is, repo's like f-droid often aren't up to date. Much better to get the release from the source.

  • I've never been to Europe, and I'm not familiar with the difficulties you're having there.

    I will say though, you and I have different ideas about the way multiculturalism and immigration ought to work.

    New arrivals have no reason to assimilate, since they get everything they need anyway, and instead they live just like they used to. This forms subcultures and does not foster allegiance to overall society.

    This sounds a little creepy TBH. What do you mean "since they get everything they need anyway" ? Should the things they need be measured out according to some kind of social credit?

    Why is assimilation and integration so important?

  • Isn't this just a more polite way of saying we ought to have one homogeneous culture though?

    if people want to emigrate to a country, then they adopt the values and practices of that country

    "values and practices" is subjective, but most people using this talking point really mean that migrants should behave, sound, and think the same way they do, except maybe possessing an innate ability to make a ripper fried rice.

    Accepting this type of statement allows migrants to be accused of forming ghettos, having poor English, basically... just being different.

    Multiculturalism (to me) is not about conforming to a common culture, rather we have a culture of embracing other cultures provided that they are not intolerant nor harmful. So basically, a migrant can behave as they wish subject to those provisos.

  • Was this in the article before ? It's not now. maybe it was edited.

    Summary bot has this bit:

    Technology dogs, which are often Labradors, are trained to smell the chemical triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) that is found on circuit boards, sim cards and hard drives.

    Article doesn't say anything about dogs though. Weird,.

  • Oh wow neither did I.

    For some reason I thought it was a tiny shallow pool, like for toddlers to play in. Why would anyone even have one of those?!

    A lap pool, for doing laps, makes so much more sense. I've lived in a house with a pool and it's just a huge pain in the ass. Being able to bust a couple of laps would be great though. I'd love to have this.
