  • They have been contacted and responded with aggression, so they are obviously aware that they are not alone, but want to be left alone. Free will is free will.

  • Oh sure, thanks! I'll pop over in a sec :-)

  • Ah, that explains a lot. I don't want to join the main instance, nothing against it, but I've seen lemmy.world go overboard, so prefer to stick to some more "indie" instances.

  • Piefed federates with lemmy, it's basically a clone written in python instead of rust, with advanced moderator tools, and developed by people who aren't braindead Stalinists.

    Jump

  • Yes please! I've already joined piefed.ca to be able to support a platform without sponsoring communist propaganda, but they seem to have issues federating content properly, it takes over 24h to see new posts from Lemmy, and many discussions will be over at that point.

    This very post for example is not visible there at all.

    Would hope that with more instances we'd also get to see content sooner.

  • What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?

  • Very strange, I'm using water straight from the kettle just after bringing it to a full boil, and don't taste anything plastic.

  • You need it to remap some of the buttons on the side. I have the same garbage just for this purpose.

  • Is it an authentic aeropress, not a cheap knockoff? There are a bunch that sell under the same name but aren't in fact manufactured by aeropress ltd., and those can taste off since the cheap plastic is not certified for use with boiling water, and might not even be bpa free.

  • So sorry for your loss!

    As for my motivation, I did a year of work & travel in Norway after finishing my bachelor's and picked up enough to be conversational. Actually I tried staying afterwards but could only score student jobs and temporary stuff, so decided to build my CV a bit more before going back.

    Life took a few unexpected turns and instead of returning after a couple years, I ended up working all over Africa and then Asia for 15+ years, but I still kept going, thinking I would one day return.

    Now that the time might have come in the near future (= next 2-ish years), I was looking more and more into the requirements and figured out that the wealth tax would break me - I'm by no means filthy rich, but they tax you on assets above ~160k USD, and since I don't qualify for any government pensions due to my erratic work, I've set aside a good chunk of investments for my retirement that'd effectively be crippled in its growth potential. The only thing exempt are a primary residence there (considered to 25% of its value) and local government pension accounts.

    That pretty much killed Norway for me, so I'm now looking at Sweden instead, where there's no such thing, and cost of living are also lower. So I decided to switch over to learning Swedish instead, it's not far off. I was there last year and was able to have a pretty normal conversation with a real estate agent where I spoke Norwegian and he Swedish, and we understood each other just fine.

    For visiting only, English is just fine. But if you plan to work and socialise long term, it's absolutely essential to integrate.

  • Are you learning another language? How far along are you?

  • Learning Swedish now, since I already speak passable Norwegian, it's not the hardest endeavor.

  • Nothing to do with that, China bans all explicit content, whether it's porn videos, photos, or in suggestive text form.

  • Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base

  • Are people really actively using tablets? I thought that was more of a hype and is now something that lies around and gets occasional use on the couch, but not really productive.

  • Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel. Hopefully anti-cheat will be next

    Jump

  • A secondary device can't be identified by kernel level anti-cheat either. If you have a standalone device that identifies as a USB keyboard and mouse and then generates inputs that give you a 100% headshot count, there's nothing you could detect through the kernel, since all it detects are keystrokes and clicks.

  • Sounds like it's only affecting TCP and TLS, so VPN over UDP would be a quick fix.
