I mean barely… Most bank offices in Sweden do not handle cash at all.

Germany is the 2nd / 3rd largest contributor with about €15 billion. And you bring up 5000 helmets? That’s just pathetic and false.

Also, make sure to use per capita numbers.

It sounds like they are exercising their contingency plan

Any organization or company losing their by far largest member / customer will be severely affected. Not all to much to learn from that, if they weren’t - they’d be running the organization like morons.

But Denmark is.

Wouldn’t those 2.5C already be included in cities being 5c warmer…?

People overdo it to be honest. I just stopped caring and started using dish soap. Zero problems whatsoever. So it’s not more work than a regular pan.

Genuine question: in what ways do Apple track iOS users (that cannot be turned off)?

I’m of the viewpoint that most tracking can be rather easily be turned off, and that android plays in a totally other ballpark here. But I might very well be wrong.

It is however people that in very high degree support their president.

People keep saying this about Plex, yet I’ve received one pop up about paying them during the last 6 months. That was while I tried to use a pay feature. Not once otherwise.

There are plenty of apps that I can’t use due to their annoyance when you’re in the free tier. Plex have not bothered me in the least.

Why am I not using streamio? Well, we have an Apple TV so that’s tough. Might get something else down the line, but I pirate to save money, not to save money on entertainment and spend it on equipment instead.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! Lovely that it’s the most upvoted one.

I personally had 4 active accounts in August, until I settled on one instance I like. Very likely many others did the same, so these numbers are far from perfect.

Meh, this military stuff is such an exaggeration. It’s mainly about politicians wanting to look like they are strong and doing stuff.

The military are by law allowed to carry out some tasks the police force can. The main example that has been brought up, is to guard buildings of importance. They also have other skills when it comes to technology, and could help the police with knowledge there. That’s the gist of it.

Would not call that copy anyone’s mistakes at all to be honest.

So much this.

People want more “real world usage” in college and school overall. Teach kids how to do taxes, teach engineers how to use X and Y software.

Well, in 10 years there’s a new software that does your taxes in another way, and plenty of laws have changed and there are new stuff to consider. And those software the engineers were taught, they are obsolete.

That’s why focus should be on getting people to a place where they themselves can acquire the skills needed to do those things by themselves.

Hadn’t I been on Lemmy I wouldn’t have known there are people still using cables to transfer stuff from/to their phone.

Haven’t done that in 10 years, and deeply hope I’ll never have to start doing that again either.

I feel like the jury’s still out a bit. We had some insane development during July, then it steadily dropped off. Lots of decent apps, but not many being updated during the last month.

And they aren’t really in that good of a state, still many kinks to iron out.

Lemma is a newcomer that seems pretty great. I miss some sorting options, other than that it’s awesome.

100% this. Paying $12 a month for basically all music I’ll ever want to listen to, is just an amazing deal. It’s so convenient. Felt the same when Netflix came about. But now when I need like 6 services, and there’s still lots not on them. Piracy is just so much more convenient.

I honestly don’t get what there is to say. Anyone trying to tell me about the dramas of any social network, be it the Fediverse, Twitter, Pinterest or Facebook will have an uphill battle.

The content itself can be interesting, but the platform itself rarely is.

Fair enough, Google is definitely the lesser of evil comparing them. But encrypted Meta versus non encrypted Google is not a no-brainer decision.

Definitely. Not sure putting one’s trust in Google is much better though.
