No idea about Europe but Hinge is the one that I've known lots of people have successfully used, myself included, to find a relationship.
I'll be honest, I can barely understand what you're saying here. Your writing style hurts my brain.
A more lightweight protocol limits the attack surface for capitalism. The web sucks because basically anything can be wrapped in http, including ads, tracking cookies, data collection JavaScript, etc.
Gemini protocol only carries markdown
One weird trick for getting the FDR special: assassinate your running mate before your first term starts
What, do you think he's funny? Is he a clown?
I feel like the internet is such a lost cause at this point that it would be better to invest in other efforts like the Gemini protocol.
Yeah I would definitely just accept that I don't get to have privacy from government surveillance. That's why I'd not want to bring any of my personal electronics with me. It may be particularly challenging since I know two of the places my GF really wants to travel to are Tibet and Xinjiang (apparently both are popular tourist destinations), in both of which I understand Western tourists are under a lot of extra scrutiny because they don't want more documentary crews and journalists getting in and sneaking some footage of the treatment of minorities. I have to be ready to just swallow my pride and appreciate it for what it is.
At some point I'm going to have to because the woman I love is from there. Probably I will need to get a burner phone for the occasion. It does seem like a beautiful country full of interesting culture. Shame about the government though.
The threat of losing future donations if you upset a sponsor is still coercive.
If someone says I'm not afraid to be vulnerable or that I'm in touch with my emotions? Nah
But if someone called me a pussy or insinuated it's not masculine to have a healthy relationship with your emotions? That definitely would bother me.

Appreciate the quick response even on Canada Day! Have a good one!
I like how even though it's a mental break, she's still "timidly poking" the artillery shells.
But, best-case scenario, you could have committed a sex crime!
If you have a Netflix account, you can get Bloons TD6 for free on Android. It's fun and the microtransactions are completely unnecessary and hidden away. Beware it's a battery hog though
Also, if you like puzzles, look up the various variant sudoku apps from Studio Goya, particularly the one called "Cracking the Cryptic"
I've done playthroughs as both. I think they both have excellent voice acting. But I think the character of Shepard as Earth's military golden boy/girl works better with the standard military jarhead looking guy. IMO he embodies the generic "John Masseffect" energy better.
It's funny because the games do let you customize the appearance, race, and hairstyle of Shephard, but to me he will always be that default settings buzzcut guy with a fivehead and big jaw.
Lol yeah, the things that are actually emitting half of every back-and-forth radio communication between a device and a cell tower
Lol don't tell them about all the radio frequencies around them all the time
I wasn't 100% sure this was a problem, as I had noticed a lot more people commenting what appeared to be static image responses to comments. But there's this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/16932878 which makes it easy to be sure that in fact they are definitely GIFs, and they don't play when you click on them. It just opens the first frame of the GIF like a static image.

I thought something was causing people to double post more recently, but after testing voting on some examples, I'm pretty sure posts are getting duplicated by the app.
The game seems to downscale and blur all textures, so the only thing that looks sharp is text and 3d models. Unfortunately some of the UI text seems to actually be a rendered texture, so the text of some UI elements can look blurry and pixelated. It also seems that the blurring is a live process, not a preprocess. This means that a lot of the UI elements are constantly flickering on top of being blurry.
Overall I love the game FWIW. I picked it up this week and love the gameplay loop. I'm just amazed it gets the green checkmark despite having such glaring UI issues with the default graphics settings (which are ostensibly tailored to the Deck)
Can anyone tell me if this can be fixed?
Edit: I had half-rate shading turned on and didn't realize it. I'm an idiot.
Moi, mon père, et mon frère vont visiter la nord pour deux semaines (le 28 avril - le 13 mai).
On vient de Canada, et mes compagnons de voyage ne parlent pas le français. Mon père grandissait autour des franco-ontariens alors il comprend un peut, mais il ne peut pas le parler. Et mon frère n'a même pas pris les cours français de l'école secondaire, alors il comprend rien. Moi, je suis le seul membre du groupe qui peut avoir une conversation en français, grâce a mon poste au gouvernement fédéral. Mais je sais que le plupart des Français peuvent aussi parler l'anglais. Mais j'ai peur de se tutoyer par accident en parlent avec un Français, car on se tutoye beaucoup plus ici en Canada, et j'ai pas l'habitude de se vouvoyer. Je prévois demander beaucoup d'excuses pour me tromper.
Notre plan de voyage c'est de visiter premièrement les endroits d'importance dans les deux guerres mondiales, mais aussi des belles villes et villages dans la region.
On prévoit visiter Ypres (en Belgique), Dunkirk, Calais, Arras/Vimy, Dieppe, Rouen, Le Havre/Honfleur, Caen/les plages Juno et Omaha, Rennes, et finalement Paris.
On a déjà acheté les passes pour le chemin a fer, et c'est comme ça qu'on prévoit se déménager entre ces endroits. On ne prévoit pas louer un auto, mais je crois que toutes ces villes et villages soient assez accessible aux piétons et avec la transport publique.
J'imagine que peut être vous avez des idées quand vous lisez cette itinéraire, alors donnez moi vos idées! Est-ce qu'il-y-a quelque part qu'il faut visiter qu'on manque dans l'itinéraire? Est-ce qu'il-y-a des "must-see" attractions qu'il faut visiter dans ces villes que j'ai listé? Ou, est-ce qu'il-y-a de l'info important pour savoir quand on voyage en France?
Merçi en avance!
I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn't the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting. She expressed a strong preference to use WeChat, at least as a backup option for when texting fails us. While I have some pretty significant reservations, it's not the hill I want to die on. So my question is: what can be done to use WeChat without compromising my whole phone? I'm okay with it if our conversations aren't private, but I'd like to know that I'm not giving unfettered access to all of my phone's systems and data to the CCP. What can be done to limit the reach of this ubiquitous app on my device?

I 🇨🇦 went to see this movie last night with my girlfriend 🇨🇳. I'm pretty sure I was the only white guy in the theatre 😅
It's got an interesting tone, swinging between really funny and really serious very quickly. Sometimes you'll be raucously laughing at some goofy humour one second, and then something dark and heavy will happen and give you whiplash. In that sense, it felt a bit like a Wes Anderson film to me.
The main source of comedy in the movie comes from the dynamic between the protagonist, his wife, and his coworker/ex-girlfriend. The wife plays up the "nagging wife" trope pretty perfectly, and contrasts the diligent coworker. At times it can be hard to tell if you're supposed to believe that the protagonist is a bumbling fool, or a competent investigator. In that sense, the comedy bits reminded me a lot of Steve Martin in the Pink Panther.
The theme is interesting. It examines what the punishment should be for people who use what could be called "excessive force" in self defense. A bit high-minded at times and the ending felt a bit cheesy, but overall I liked he way the movie's core theme was repeated across many different subplots.
Overall I think it's worth watching if you like comedy/drama.
Hi there, I'm not a member of this community (only a very sporadic user myself) but figured it would be a good place to ask this question.
The TLDR version is: My lady friend OD'd on edibles and is still a bit sick a day and a half later, is there any good remedy to help her get back on her feet?
Longer version below:
The girl I'm seeing recently had a downright awful experience with weed. She hasn't ever used before (she tried smoking once but didn't inhale properly so no high), and I expect she probably won't try it again any time soon.
On Friday night she was hanging out with some friends and decided to try an edible since her friends were having some. Her weed literacy isn't great, and she didn't know that edibles hit different, nor that they take a while to kick in. She was also on an empty stomach since we had a dinner date in a couple hours and she often skips lunch at work, and on top of all that she's on the smaller side, so less bodyweight.
She only had a third of what her friends took, but ended up being super unwell. I'm talking throwing up multiple times, bad vibes (crying, saying she didn't want to go to sleep because she would die in her sleep), and acting irrational (kept trying to leave her friend's house because she didn't want to be late for our date).
Her friends texted me from her phone as it was happening because she was insistent on leaving and they wanted to let me know it wasn't happening. I told them about the thing with black peppercorns and apparently that (plus telling her not to worry about standing me up) helped enough that they were able to get her to fall asleep.
She ended up sleeping and being nauseous for basically the entire day yesterday and I only heard back from her this morning.
Anyway, that's all just the loredump. My actual question is, is there anything that can be done to help someone feel better when they are recovering from OD'ing on edibles? She's still not feeling 100%, probably from throwing up and panicking so much. I know for someone who is badly hungover from alcohol there are all sorts of folk remedies that at least work as a placebo if not as an actual cure. Just wondering if there's some equivalent for weed. I want to do something nice for her since I think she must feel awful about missing our date.
This started a few days ago. I've been getting texts from friends with iPhones in the wrong order, and seemingly they are getting mine late. So I texted a friend whose grandmother was in the hospital yesterday, and her conversation with me looked like this. These texts from her arrived around a minute apart each. I think the intended order of them is fairly obvious. It's worth noting that every time I send her a text, the read receipt line under the text shows a little clock for a few seconds or more, which I think means it hasn't been recieved by her phone yet. Also worth noting that I had a conversation using the same stock messaging app with my mom yesterday who has an android and I don't think we had any such issue, but that may have actually been RCS.
Anyway, here's the example. It's not the only example I've had with her or with another iPhone-using friend in the past couple days.
> Me: Hey, how's your day? Any updates about your grandma?
> Her (a few hours later): I feel relieved
> Me: does that mean you got good news?
> Her: how was your day?
> Her: yeah
> Me: my day was good, (proceeds to describe what I did that day)
> Her: my family feels relieved too
> Me: what was the good news? Your grandma is okay?
> Her: Hey $bionicjoey, I didn't get much sleep last night but I just heard that the doctors say my grandma is out of danger.
Edit: I texted her last night saying something weird was going on after that exchange, and then this morning at about 7:30 AM I texted her saying "let me know as soon as you get this". She just texted me at 2:30pm saying "I just am just now seeing your texts"

Seriously this was very surprising. I've been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it's a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn't "true open source" but it's a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app.
I updated the YouTube backend recently and to my surprise and delight they had added support for SponsorBlock. However, when I went to enable it, it warned me "turning this on harms creators" and made me click a box before I could continue.
Bruh, you're literally an ad-blocking YouTube frontend. What kind of mental gymnastics does it take to be facilitating ad-blocking and then at the same time shame the end-user for using an extension which simply automates seeking ahead in videos. Are you seriously gonna tell me that even without Sponsorblock, if I skip ahead past the sponsored ad read in a video, that I'm "harming the creator"?
