  • Android will let ‘experienced users’ sideload unverified apps as Google makes case for verification

  • I've already switched my pc to Linux. I'm willing to switch my phone to Linux too. My only problem with current alternatives is that none of them feel like a finished product Software-wise. And hardware-wise I have a galaxy ultra so the downgrade would be a lot especially in the performance and cameras.

    We need a Linux based/Open-source alternative that could compete with the likes of Apple, Google, and Samsung. It's not impossible especially with current available technology, but I can see why the market incentives are very low.

    I was hoping new laws could at least keep the status quo for a bit longer but it turns out as always relying on politicians is a bad idea.

  • If this how the outside of my window looked in the middle east, a national emergency has probably been declared with hundreds dead or lost and the military dispatched to the streets.

  • Respect the player hate the game, unless the player is just another narcissistic bigot. I often like to make the distinction between my opinion on the system and that of individual human beings in said system. I may say "fuck the police" but also have respect towards a polite police officer that believes he's doing a good thing.

  • The war in Gaza has proved that Israel can do whatever the fuck it wants and break as many laws and treaties and nobody's going to do anything about it other than some useless words of condemnation.

  • I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how.

  • I'm not that familiar with video editing but community presets come with a strong community so as open source software becomes better there's a good chance a community will develop with it and make custom presents, plugins, and forks.

    I hate that Adobe has almost a monopoly on a lot of different kinds of programmes.

  • Palestine Action ban ‘could become Starmer’s poll tax moment’ as backlash grows

    Jump

  • Westerners also seem to forget that the UK, France, and US are mostly to blame for all the instability and war in the middle east, forgetting (intentionally or not) the colonial and imperialist past of their governments when they were committing war crimes and dismissing the will and needs of entire populations for decades before the idea of non-europeans also having rights became popular.

  • Held at gunpoint: BBC team detained by Israeli forces in southern Syria

  • I don't know about BBC but I'm sure international and western journalists have been killed or arrested before.

  • Held at gunpoint: BBC team detained by Israeli forces in southern Syria

  • I believe whether this was to cover up something or not, Israel is using intimation tactics to keep eyes and cameras away from them. We have a saying in Arabic that goes "hit the one with the leash to scare the loose" basically you attack non-threatening individuals to scare away actual threats.

    You guys are also forgetting that the Golan Heights since 1981 and recently southern Syria are illegally occupied by Israel and heavily militarized. Which has caused the locals to move away that of itself may be argued to be a crime. So if you wanna maintain opsec go ahead but not when the operation is about stealing land and harassing locals.

  • The Anti-Capitalist Case for Standards

    Jump

  • Yeah I believe that standardisation is beneficial in general whether it's capitalism or not. In fact I believe it's even more beneficial for a non-capitalist society, since yes you could not use the standard but nobody would be able to afford to come up with everything themselves. Unlike companies like apple that can afford having their own proprietary ecosystem including the lightning port. In that case standards could be maintained by non-profit organisations consisting of other organisations with a donation based model. Which is what happens in the real world except for the part where companies step in and put lots of money for their own benefit and to be able to pull these organisations in the direction they desire.

    The concept of standardisation isn't necessary capitalist but the form it exists in today is shaped by the capitalist world we live in.

  • Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which?

  • DNS is also super cool can't imagine my life without it

  • how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?

    Jump

  • I think it's that some older people tend to be overconfident and think they've figured out everything in life (not that this behaviour is exclusive to old people but the older you're the more likely you're to think that you know shit). Another factor might be that over time you're more likely to confirm to your surrounding, being too tired and old to "rebel".

    Just stay curious, open minded and always willing to learn and do new things.

    I've noticed that most of the professors I liked in college were the ones to admit when they're wrong, understand that not everyone learn the same and willing to accept nonconventional answers in exams, not use the same material from a decade ago, etc. it might be trivial facts but it shows that on the larger scale this person is still evolving and adapting to their surrounding not being stuck in some old mentality.

    I also believe that while age has a role in this it's not actually about age but rather the mentality the person has and whether they can see the big picture or not. I think the fact that OP has noticed it and didn't want to become like this is an indication that their mentality is moving in the right direction.

    PS: English isn't my first language and I'm kinda tired while writing this so please forgive me.

  • A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates

    Jump

  • You want it displayed as "yyyy/mm/dd" so it's actually "[RTL]dd/mm/yyyy"

  • RTL invert characters are just for rendering purposes it doesn't help with sorting also in older systems sometimes it was not supported.

    Jump

  • In Arabic we use DD/MM/YYYY but it actually gets written as YYYY/MM/DD since Arabic is written and read from right to left. When the year is dropped the confusing part is not what format is used here but rather does this website/software support RTL or is it just regular unformatted ASCII.

    Edit: it's still not ISO 8601 and it doesn't solve the sorting issue

  • Entrance exams aren't actually that common here but they do exist admission is mostly based on GPA and final grades in highschool. What amazes me isn't the lack of basic knowledge (in such an education system) or getting accepted, but rather the decision to choose this professional/academic path when you lack the interest in it.

    People are actually uninterested and treating college as if they're prisoners here. I know some people are only thinking about the potentially higher income in these fields or the social status (engineers and doctors are thought of highly in some countries). A not insignificant amount of students here are forced to study what their parents have chosen for them. I believe we have a corrupt system in all areas (political, social, educational) and the economical situation isn't helping.

    Usually these kids in my opinion don't realise that they need to change something till very late in there lives. This matter isn't a problem but rather a symptom of bigger problems here.

    P.S: I'm very sorry for the long rant I got kinda carried away lol.
