Flip-flopping in general happens when people are more rooted in politics than principles. That might be what's going on here.

No, the joke was funny. I'm just a grump!

Except Transjordan isn't biblical. It's the region of Palestine that became The Kingdom of Jordan. As opposed to Cisjordan, which is the region that became Israel and the present Palestine.

But I don't think we're allowed to say cis anymore. /s

Ah... I did not understand the auction link. I thought "expired" meant that the auction ended. I guess it describes the status of the domain.

Thanks

Edit: who tf downvoted me admitting my mistake and thanking for the clarification lol

Digital trust is a really complicated thing. DNS sure beats most of the alternative I can think of.

Is there a way to know who bought it? Did they get it back or is it some rando or is it a known third party?

Can anyone eli5?

Will it federate with AP platforms?

Human memory is not like computer memory. It's more akin to a workout. Your muscles get strong by repeated stress of a long period of time. Your brain remembers through repeated learning over a long period of time.

Cramming for an exam is a little like cramming for a marathon. Not a good idea.

Study in smaller time segments spread out as much as possible. Vary your study patterns and environment. Use different techniques. Connect details with concepts and narratives.

Well, yeah, although the Germans had plenty of antisemitism of their own. They didn't need to import it.

They did, however, borrow a lot of policy cues from American Jim Crow Laws.

I think you overestimate the average person's ability to disable push notifications.

I mean, you could just install GrapheneOS and not allow tracking or location data either. I promise that these companies don't care about the .00002% of people who don't play ball.

You might be interested in Magic Earth it is also built on OpenStreetMap but includes crowdsourced traffic data. If you are in a big city then it's likely they have good data for your area.

Also a great choice. I prefer organic maps for a variety of reasons (like ability to contribute to the maps), but a lot of people prefer OsmAnd. They are both very good.

Don't forget who took that from you.

Had to check.

Slowly working towards a viable OpenStreetMap in my area. If you want to help, you can make a free account and begin editing: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new

You can also contribute on mobile by using Street Complete or any number of great mobile apps that allow limited editing and full map features like Organic Maps

Edit: I didn't know about Vespucci, which is a full-featured OSM editor for Android. Thanks, @onyxjet@lemmy.world

Also be sure to check out !open_street_maps@lemmy.world

Even if in the best case scenario, it gives a company direct access to send you unsolicited push notifications.

It's rarely the best case.

That is 100% more leches than necessary.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that's probably the point. If the US cedes Africa to China, then that changes the entire world order. It's been slowly happening for decades, but this pretty much seals it.

Edit - homonyms are hard

Hey everybody, remember when we let billionaire scammers crash the global economy, so then we made an organization to stop that from happening again?

We had a nice run.

The most approachable distros are Ubuntu based IMHO. That means Ubuntu (full featured, great interface, but can be slightly more demanding on old hardware), Lubuntu, Xubuntu (Ubuntu based, but with more basic desktop environment. They may be snappier on old hardware but not as fully featured), Mint (already mentioned here, generally considered the best of both worlds).

If you want to use very limited hardware, you might also consider a distro like Puppy Linux.

If you are new to Linux, the most overlooked consideration is the community support. You will have things come up that require help to do/fix. A strong, active community means you will have a much easier time.
