Oh man congrats!

I remember when mine told me she is pregnant, I was so happy I wanted to jump!

After coming back from a year of parental leave I didn’t lose my job.

My previous project came to an end just before I went on parental leave and the company couldn’t secure new projects locally.

But because I was involved ipartially in a different department before, that department secured a internal budget for me as a Subject Matter Expert.

Now I’m advising on that topic and was also brought in to a big internal project, so my job is secured for some time now.

For me it’s extra difficult because I moved to a different country and have a really hard time learning the language, which is a must to get a different job here.

I’m born in Poland to Polish parents, but all their parents were born Germans. I moved to Germany when I was 11 and when someone asked me then I said I’m German. But then I moved to Sweden for 15 years, while there I would also say I’m German. I got the Swedish citizenship but you still can hear that I’m not a native Swede, but only Swedish people can hear it. So once I moved to Korea 4 years ago I used my Swedish passport to get in to the country (it was not on purpose but random chance, I could have chosen the polish one or the German one too). Anyway, if someone in Korea asks me where I’m from or what I am I almost always say I’m Swedish. with one exception, if a German here in Korea asks me then I say I’m German.

I know it’s a bit easier for me because I look like I could be from any of those countries, but my identity is not tied to some specific geographic area so I have no problem being a geographical-identity-cameleon.

Some ducks are born in Mexico.

That’s an interesting idea, need to check if they offer some kind of a API for that.

But then there is this other thing, what about dns cache?

Democracy is just the tyranny of the majority.

I think that most of the Americans want this, even if people on the outside do not understand. So in that sense they are right now winning back their country, as confusing as it might sound.

How can you be sure?

And all it took was getting rid of us.

I use radicals for CalDAV and save notes there together with my calendars. On Android there is jtx Board which let’s you work with them. Sadly on Linux I couldn’t find anything so I started writing something myself but don’t have much time to work on it https://github.com/jeena/JNotes

Once Elon evolves X to the everything app, we will finally enjoy what is what you describe and what is already the case in China.

I was there a month ago and we were driving through some rural area and the bus stopped so people can go to the toilet. There was a seller selling dried fruits in small plastic bags. I wanted to buy some and I had some cash on me, but the only way to pay was to use WeeChat and the QR code he had there.

I’d say not quite as bad, but it’s still pretty bad. Especially if you like freedom, you won’t have much fun there.

On the other side if you like political games, bootlicking and bribary you will have a very good time, not as a foreigner, but if you’re Han Chinese and from a family which is already established in the party it’s quite nice.

If that wasn’t on purpose than that was a big fuckup. I was sometimes thinking about testing Bitwarden but with this volatile license situation I’m not interested anymore.

And I said, what’s the difference with lies in text in a newspaper and lies on video on youtube? There is no difference, so nothing will change.

How is video different from text? We had a lot of lies and propaganda in newspapers durin WWII and everybody believed it, I don’t think it will change just because it’s a different medium now.

Yeah a alternative launcher is the way to go, I use FL launcher but it’s similar. And what I like about android on the TV is that you at least get access to the system via adb and can turn off some things like the default launcher.

Yes it does because as far as I remember I disabled the default launcher with help of adb: https://www.gearrice.com/update/how-to-change-launcher-on-android-tv-and-which-ones-are-the-best/

I am using a Chromecast ultra 4k and I replaced the launcher with one which doesn’t shown anything but the apps I want it to show in a grid: FLauncher

And then I can use it with the remote as usual for Netflix and all the other apps. It’s quite nice doesn’t stutter or anything.

I also replaced the YouTube app with the SmartTube one to get rid of sponsors and advertisements in videos.

Ah, I didn’t make it a link to be clickable, sorry, fixed it now for everyone else ^^

I think you should be able to click on the image and make it bigger.
