As someone who lived in Korea for a while, their pronunciations of Korean words are really frustrating me. It's not all their fault though...I hate the way Korean is romanised. "eo" being how "ㅓ" is romanised is incredibly counter-intuitive. Ben hearing the pronunciation of Cheonan on the train and correcting himself was great. But then he keeps mispronouncing "eo" when it comes up in other places.
That aside, I haven't especially enjoyed the season so far. The very end got me invested a bit more, but the majority of the episode didn't especially grab me.
Is that meant to be making fun of Trump's accent? Cos I gotta be honest, it comes across to me more like a representation of how Irish people pronounce Ireland. At least, the way I pronounce "oireland" when I see it sounds to my ear much closer to how Irish people say Ireland than to how I say it.
drawing a square in thr corner doesn’t make it 90°
No, it doesn't, but it does mean that, for the purposes of your 6th grade geometry question, you can assume the angle is a right angle. Even if it visible looks like 45°, if they put a square there, that's 90.
More to the point though, a radius of a circle always meets the circumference at 90 degrees. All the squares in this problem are doing is telling you "this line, if it were continued, would be the radius of the incomplete circle".
The problem comes when it's not an app you're using for the app's sake, but because it's the app of some company you have a real-world relationship with. Your bank's app being the most important one that comes to my mind, considering I've already heard about some banks trying to restrict users to only Google's flavour of Android before this.
I'll admit I've not looked into it. My computer won't even upgrade to Windows 11 if I wanted it to, thanks to MS's artificial restriction on compatibility. Maybe it is all on-device. But if so, whence all the privacy complaints? And does it not allow syncing between devices?
But with no karma system, and not even any popular extensions for keeping track of users, how do you keep track of "trust built up over a long time"? That's literally what karma was for, and the Lemmy devs removed that extremely valuable feature.
Nothing they mentioned in the article seems too egregious in truth
Doesn't it? To be honest, if the article is telling the truth and not exaggerated, I find this pretty egregious. How you installed an app should be irrelevant, so the idea of an API to say "did this come from the Play Store" is fucking shit. And the ability to block installation of apps that call certain APIs entirely is even worse.
One could argue that it's a feature that could be done on-client without sending to a server. Or with its server component doing nothing more than syncing with E2E encryption.
Yikes this really doesn't look good. Is there any reporting on it from independent journalists (or anyone else who isn't also advertising their own competing operating system)?
That may be the problem. If the site detects you coming from an address with a history of other users abusing it, they may have implemented protections against it.
The domain is a Lemmy instance. A community is the equivalent of a subreddit. !fediverse@lemmy.world is a community within the lemmy.world instance, for example.
Yeah, I'm always rather sceptical and have my guard way up when I come across a creator talking about religion. If it hadn't been for the greater trust I automatically have in a creator being added to Nebula (which is where I first came across this channel), I don't know if I would have started watching it. But I certainly don't regret it.
I agree. It's rarely going to turn something abjectly terrible into a masterpiece, but it's much easier for it to ruin something. Watch the clips of Darth Vader with David Prowse's voice and ask yourself if that version of Star Wars would have been as iconic.
