Google et.al. is pushing for IDV in every segment due to lobby pressure from meta to build REAL user database for advertisement purposes in the age of LLM drivel. Every “protect the *” has meta’s government lobbyists behind it.
There could be alternative approaches, but meta’s goals just so happens to align well with a fascist government’s that thinks they need to stamp out dissenting voices and anonymity.

World News@lemmy.world•Russia and China Develop Joint Plan to Counter Starlink; It Involves Physical Destruction of SatellitesEnglish
1·1 month agoThe Kessler syndrome was a proposed scenario, not a scientific study. A hypothetical.
This article is about countering Starlink. Starlink satellites are in such low orbit, they de-orbit by themselves and fall back and burn up in the atmosphere very quickly if they don’t correct their orbit regularly.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Hummus and peanut butter are close relatives
2·2 months agoInteresting. When I’ve tried pb&j for the first time (during the aughts), I thought regular peanutbutter complemented ham (or marmalade) really well already. Maybe even better with some salt.
Mixing sweet with more sweet is a very kids thing to do.

3·3 months agoGold is a common Jewish last name. In the sense that names were anglicized (or Germanicized) to better blend in. However are non-denominative, avoiding trades and place names, and instead focus on simply colour and sometimes with a geographic feature added. Which is why you have so many Goldbergs and Greenbergs.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what country do you live in and what language was taught in your school?
5·3 months agoI grew up in Hungary and Germany, and lived most of my early adulthood in Hungary. Later in life I moved to Québec, where I reside now.
In Germany, I had English starting grade five.
In Hungary, Russian was mandatory until 1989. After '89 it was elective between Russian, German, English or, in some schools, French. I opted for German starting grade 6 at a German ethnicity school, but felt like it was a mistake, since I was already native level, but the (non-native) teachers kept trying to one-up me in their broken knowledge of the language. Starting grade eight I’ve transferred to a school that had Russian only, but since I had no prior knowledge of it, but already spoke German and English, I was exempted from it. In high school I’ve opted for English.
My kids go to French language schools in Montréal and have English as a foreign language. We speak English at home. Almost ten years in and I still don’t speak French. My kids don’t speak either Hungarian or German.
Just like the other Canadian poster’s daughter in this thread stated, my wife learned near native level French, even as a non-Québecois, simply on the premise of Canada supposedly being a bilingual country. This seems to hold a lot of truth in Ontario, Montréal and New Brunswick, but outside of these provinces and cities, it seems to be much more mono-lingual in practice. Montréal is truly wild though. People very often speak three or more languages here.
