@jscholes This is literally the experience of anyone travelling, moving places, studying or doing traineeships abroad etc. Things I already could not do because my Apple account is set to Poland but I moved elsewhere: - order food through the only app offering anything in my area (phone was not an option as I couldn't speak the local language), use the latest app for detecting the state of traffic lights my mobility instructor recommended as apparently this is the only reliable way to cross roads in some places; - setup an account with a bank that apparently offered lower monthly fees or even none at all; - pretty trivial but: play a game only in my language while others could only play it in theirs; - manage my prepaid phone service; the list could go on. I could try and change my region to where I am now but that would cancel all of my subscriptions and potentially make me lose access to some apps I still use when back home. Android makes it sort of easier as you can simply sideload what you want but that's still not as effective for keeping things up-to-date and I'd rather not download banking and e-government apps from unofficial sources. Luckily, this is much less the case for vital apps than it used to be some years ago.
@jscholes Sorry to hear that. I hope it's at least accessible. I was lucky enough to be advised a really pleasant-to-use option. One more example from me: I can-t access the TV offer that I pay for within my home Internet package. The app of the same company for every other country but the one I am in is available in my App Store. I guess I can use the browser but still...

Though China built upon a foreign base of technology, it has become the world’s leading proponent of nuclear energy. Chinese firms are well ahead of their Western peers, supported by a whole-of-government strategy that provides extensive financing and systemic coordination.

The Belgian EU Council presidency seems set to have bulk Chat Control searches of our private communications greenlighted by EU governments on Wednesday 19 June.
Ano, na druhou stranu, i přes MS Teams můžu poslat zašifrovanou zprávu. Pokud obsah předem zašifruji a do chatu jen vložím výsledek. Jakákoli aplikace pak slouží v podstatě jen jako 'nosič'. Pravda, není to moc komfortní, ale funkční. Pokud tedy aplikace nebudou mít detekci obsahu a takovéto zprávy odmítnou. Že by se vracel čas XMPP/Jabber? 🙂 @archos

April 29, 2012. I decided to take a really cheap stereo mic that I had, and I placed it in the dryer, and turned it on. I edited this copy, to clean up a few things, but the main part of the file is still intact. #AudioMo #Audio
So, Malaysia is applying to be a part of BRICS! After Thailand, I guess I'm not surprised. Everyone's falling over themselves to join the bloc, and due to the insanity in the world right now it seems like the popular choice. Whether we'll be accepted is another matter, of course.
@modulux don't even know if it's a good decision really. I thought ASEAN should be neutral, but I'm no politician lol. People don't want to be left out of the most powerful economic bloc in the world, I guess!
I think it's hard to know in advance, how it will work out. Neutrality seems like a good idea but with so many people joining blocs it gets harder, I think.
@modulux Yeah. But I suppose one can view it as an economic cooperation rather than a political one (cross fingers), so ASEAN neutrality won't be affected. Don't know, honestly lol. But Malaysia isn't the only ASEAN country with Thailand, Vietnam applying as well.I wonder if this decision has been spurred by the recent US move to sanction Malaysia...
I don't think I'd heard about it, other than Malaysia reminding the US the Iran sanctions are not UN sanctions and don't bind them. Or was it related to Russia chips? Just did a quick search on it and those were the two things I could find.

#AudioMo for June 17, 2024 This was inspired by a post from @wmj1102. On december 12, 2006, I decided to have some fun with a dryer. This was recorded with an Edirol R1 and a pair of Linkwitz modified Panasonic WM-61 microphone capsules.

Raeez Kuhn, AKA Eezo’s passion for music has given him an outlet to express himself, and greatly improved his quality of life. Kuhn was born on the 13th March 1996.
Some people thought he was absolutely crazy - how could a blind person manage the decks, choose the tracks and mix the sounds? Impossible. But Eezo wanted

@joel_falcou @JamesGleick It's interesting that those who hold your position are the ones who have already been born who have no problem speaking for themselves. Also, the idea of pro-life Christians ignoring the needs of those who have already been born while obsessing about putting an end to abortion is a distorted, twisted stereotype. Perhaps you might seek out debates and dialogs between those in the pro-choice camp and articulate, pro-life Christians. I can point you to resources, if you have the courage to examine them. Also, unborn children are just as much alive as any other human and so your admonition to take care of the living doesn't apply. It's also interesting that while you call me an idiot I would point out that pro-life Christians don't engage with those who are pro-choice using such language and showing such hostility. And they call us judgmental? No,, I will not be intimidated by your bullying.
@joel_falcou@mastodon.social @JamesGleick I'm always willing to engage in discussions and debates with those who have views which differ from mine. I am not, however, willing to allow myself to be spoken to using hatred and abusive language. I have a bit too much self-respect to subject myself to such abuse. Therefore, I will have to block you.
@DavidGoldfield @JamesGleick to me, women are now among the most vulnerable because we can't get basic care during pregnancy related medical emergencies. It's evidently ok with a lot of Republicans if women die rather than get medical assistance during a miscarriage.
Short answer: yes. If we start making decisions about who and who should not be born based on what we think is in that person's best interest, we go down a dangerous and slippery slope. What if someone decides that we should terminate a pregnancy because the child will be disabled? Poor? Autistic? Might be developmentally disabled? I was once told to my face by someone that she would have an abortion if she knew her child might have a certain disability. Since I'm blind, I can only say that I'm glad my mother never had such standards.
