I would look at indie games like nobody saves the world and look for all the emulators and roms I could get my filthy mitts on.
If you don’t have it yet I would spend some of that money on a few months worth at least of mulvad VPN. It would… Open some doors.
I mean, more like does and has been, but I guess that’s just semantics. Evil gon be evil.
I’m not sure that makes sense to me.
Good lord I feel ya. Volt typhoon has positioned itself to take out US critical infrastructure as soon as we push back on Taiwan. As one article put it, “the gun is loaded”…
I am Ralph wiggims on the bus and “I’m in danger”
Thanks! Definitely a little niche for my purposees, but I can definitely see that being really useful for retro tech!
Watch out for the android TV boxes. They are being used by China to backdoor into US critical infrastructure. Seriously.
This just barely covers the depth and scope of the issue. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fbi-badbox-20-android-malware-infects-millions-of-consumer-devices/
It wasn’t just their willingness to educate their own people but also Apple’s willingness to offload all of their production there and basically revolutionize their Tech industry by developing all of their hardware there
JFC you’re not joking. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=fifa+peace+prize
*Snort* and he wants the Nobel peace prize. 🤣
Exactly. Because psychopathy exists.
Same with blue sky. They hit me up with an age check.
Never looked back.
Interesting. Thanks, and I definitely take your point, though I don’t know much about Russia or Russians aside from a “history of Russia and China” class in college.
Also TIL prosody 😁.
We’re talking about different things.
You’re talking about social dynamics, and what I’m talking about is more general than that.
There’s a certain range of emotions and certain root emotions that are common to everyone but there’s also a great deal of variation between people that speak different languages.
The language you grow up with shapes how you think at a very low level. How you process information, how you see the world.
For example, I read about a study, presumably about Mandarin, that explained an interesting difference between how Chinese people and English speaking people themselves in the future.
In Mandarin, the language sort of forces you to see your future self as self-same to your current self and this causes Chinese people to be much much better about saving money for the future. On the other hand the English language causes one to think of the future self as a different person and it makes it more difficult to identify that future self as truly you.
I tried to find the article for you but couldn’t. The concept is called self-continuity.
Another place I’ve seen this present is in software design, oddly. I used a tool at a previous job that was largely developed by people that didn’t have English as a first language. It had a very clear logic to it and made sense, but everything was put together in ways that were initially counterintuitive.
This also applies to how foreign speakers emote. Like I said, all the root emotions are pretty much identical, but there’s a lot of nuance and a good number of emotions that are not universally represented and not experienced as often (sometimes not at all) in due to lack of language for it. Saudade is an example of it. Not only does it not translate, but it’s not universally experienced.
Anyway, I was more or less “squirreling”.
So, on your phone, look in settings. Search for “feedback”, select device feedback, and tell them directly.
Conversation is important but I’m guessing Google is not going to read this thread.
anything taken out of context, such as quoting a politician,
Perhaps the goal?
I actually didn’t get very far at all into it. It made me too anxious and depressed. What you’re saying is totally valid though. People that speak different languages literally have different sets of emotions and different emotional expressions for emotions of the same name.
Eg., I’ve never experienced saudade (Portuguese, I think), It doesn’t really exist in English speaking countries.
This is good. I have time to PLAN the de-googlification. Nice.
Nice reference.
The lever point is offset such that when you press on the taller part of the handle, the front pops out and you can pull.
They freeze quite solid in icy conditions. It’s really remarkable!
