It’s funny how Dutch doesn’t shy away from loaning French words, despite the difference. Examples are chauffeur, etalage, cadeau, auto and medaille.
I don’t agree that aardappel is hard to pronounce in general if you’re an English speaker though. Check it out: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/aardappel
Yup, pommes de terre. In Dutch is “aardappel”, which is more literally earthapple. But I will add, the apple part isn’t referring to the fruit, but means more like “a spherical object”.
Also the French used aardappel to create the word pomme de terre for it in 1716, as they couldn’t pronounce the Dutch word.
“The problem is that for Russian developers, communication with the community, including the international one, and technical support are implemented through Discord,”
Well that’s their problem, isn’t it? It’s also a problem over here. Technical support regarding simple questions is fine, but any in-depth troubleshooting should honestly be done outside of Discord.
Can we pin this post as an example kthnx
My Asus laptop draws (a maximum of) 200W as far as I can tell.
This is not my model but here’s the tech sheet for a different one: https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/tuf-gaming/asus-tuf-gaming-a14-2024/techspec/
Is your mother a hermit crab?
I presume this is not OC but the cat is probably hearing a noise and reacting to that. Still makes for a funny vid tho
It’s definitely a dosage thing, but cats don’t really have any brakes when it comes to chewing on shit. So they will chew anything that looks like grass, which can be dangerous when you have toxic succulents that have large leaves.
I second the drainage comment, hopefully it does have holes at the bottom. Otherwise instead of succulents I would recommend OP to put in “air plants” (Tillandsia) as they don’t need soil and draw moisture from the air.
There are apps that can help identify plants if you’re not sure what you’re looking at. Highly recommend to ID them just in case. Some can be irritating, others can make your pets very sick. Please be careful!
Please double check the types of succulents in there! I think they are safe (the crassula perforata variegata is safe at least), but some can be toxic to cats!
Thank you! Just finished the video and I have the same thoughts haha. Too bad it only works on 1.0, but what a heck of a find!
My Lemmy client can’t show the spoiler in the body of the post, could you post it as a comment?
If done well it’s called constructive feedback, not bad communication.
The problem is that many folks feel like it’s the only feedback tool in the toolbox, and the praises can seem less sincere over time, as some managers think they need to find something positive every single time. This can make it less efficient or sincere, so it’s good to have some variety.
I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but they are basically saying that you wouldn’t be a good fit with the team.
Now as for the exact reasoning they will probably not tell you, as ambiguous rejections are easier to manage. But to me that sounds like they think you need guidance / support that they cannot offer (read: don’t have the budget for).
Not saying I agree with any of it, mind you. Just giving my interpretation
Nice video. Its funny how he ends it with saying not clicking on the ads. Apps with in-game ads can actually click through for you, so you end up on the store page without any user input. That feels illegal.
I have been entertaining the idea of making a video about these ads as well, in the form of what’s being advertised and what’s actually in the game. Also the claims they make in the ads should be scrutinized. I want to raise awareness for these types of ads because reporting them to Google won’t do anything and is notoriously hard (a dark pattern in itself, very convenient to Google).
Would there be any interest in videos like this? I have a bunch of ads recorded that are questionable as fuck and it might be a very depressing journey.
An example could be AliExpress, with a 130B in revenue and 11B in profit (2023), it would reduce their profit to 3.2B with the 6% fine. That’s a whopping 70% less profits, and cutting expenses isn’t gonna fix it either.
If you cared to read the article, you will find that they also are investigating AliExpress, Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.
It’s 6% of revenue, not profit. So it cuts even more into profits as it doesn’t allow a company in breach of regulations to reduce the impact of the fine by adding expenses that will temporarily lower their profit.
Even more spicy, they can also impose periodic penalties up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover for each day of delay in complying. That shit can bankrupt you.
I feel like this will be proven in 40 years in a research paper about male internet culture and this is the comment that started it
