They could use the fediverse or matrix or something. They'll just have to adapt like Brazil did when Twitter was blocked.

There's nothing special about wanting to be special. It's the most ordinary thing in the world.

They barely produce anything worth watching anyway. Maybe we need a few years break from Hollywood movies to enjoy what other countries are making.

Right-wingers as usual wanting to eradicate the past so that they can claim dumb shit like "there were no concentration camps". And yet they call themselves "conservatives". What a joke.

Can people really see the difference? I'd love to see a test between screens at different refresh rates, resolutions, and FPS, and how well people can discern between them. I have a feeling most wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

How is it still allowed to operate in Russia? I thought there were sanctions. Is this company above the law or something?

Indeed. It does cement my point further of just what a jumble of languages English is.

20 years? Not 25? I thought 2060 was when things would really crumble due to climate change is we continued business as usual (which is what we're doing).

What is "English" though? The English language is mish-mash or Norse, French, Latin, Greek, Danish, Spanish, and their old versions. It's why it's so difficult to get pronunciation right.
Look at the etymology of the majority of English words and it'll be "middle english from anglo-french" or "old english from ancient greek" or something.
Some languages have diverged very little from their origins like Icelandic which allows reading 12th century texts without much difficulty, while others are barely distinguishable from their origins due to loans words, forced changes due to e.g royalty, invasion, and so on.
I'm sure a linguist could dive way more into depth, but "not English words" is the equivalent of "not a true Scotsman".

Of course not. There are two people in Germany called Ursula and Holger and they both live in one apartment with a balcony facing northwest and a "balkonkraftwerk" on it.

No more men's and women's league, no more "gender eligibility" requirements, a common dresscode, same standards and rules for all. Edit: since it looks like people missing the word **let**: the suggestion isn't to **force** desegregation. It's to allow it or even make it the default. Someone else made a good suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it's weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.
From credit card and payday loan commercials telling us to get into it, to people joking about the amount of debt they're in and also telling you to get into it, debt is a real thing that supposedly nobody should care about. Am I wrong here? Is it just normal to be in debt or should we try to fight this?

After a [short discussion](https://fedia.io/m/science_memes@mander.xyz/t/1130555/Blocked) on another topic, I was wondering about this.

The Canadian Shield (French: Bouclier canadien [buklje kanadjɛ̃]), also called the Laurentian Shield or the Laurentian Plateau, is a geologic shield, a large area of exposed Precambrian igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. It forms the North American Craton (or Laurentia), the ancient geologic core of the North American continent. Glaciation has left the area with only a thin layer of soil, through which exposures of igneous bedrock resulting from its long volcanic history are frequently visible. As a deep, common, joined bedrock region in eastern and central Canada, the shield stretches north from the Great Lakes to the Arctic Ocean, covering over half of Canada and most of Greenland; it also extends south into the northern reaches of the continental United States. Geographical extent The Canadian Shield is a physiographic division comprising...

When I saw MKBHD on threads available through flipboard, the thought crossed my mind. Wouldn't it be a game changer for the biggest websites to suddenly try to coax users and content creators with "one account to rule them all" solution?

Where does it end up and who can see it? Do they get federated?
Is it similar to the waves of feminism?
What does it have to do with gaming? Or is there bug with my instance? I'm seeing 
Or is it just a term made up to find an easier reason to reject job applicants? --------- So it looks like the consensus is "overqualified" is a euphemism for - "I'm afraid you'll leave this job because I'm assuming you'll have better chances elsewhere" aka "you won't accept being my slave forever due to lack of opportunities" - "I'm afraid you might actually understand how shitty it is here and want to improve things. can't have that" - "I don't want to figure out how much to pay you when you know your worth" - "You cost too much" - "I have other reasons, but won't say them"
Wouldn't they benefit from more people? Of course it would come with the condition of learning the language at an acceptable level and that being tied to residency.

Sometimes I click on instances to check them out, but feddit.de has consistently been returning a 500 error however there are people posting from there. What kind of magic is this? Have the Germans figured out how to have a private instance that's somehow still connected to the fediverse? https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/feddit.de says it's down
