Curios take: it’s not the companies doing bad stuff, but the investigations that hurt the reputation…

Yes there are vampires, and at the moment (70% of the book) I still dont completely get why, honestly… But I’m sure I’ll understand 😁

OP, from China Mieville, let me suggest “the city and the city” a sort of detective story in a city that is split in 2 in a incredible and original way. I liked it more than embassytown

At the moment I’m reading Blindsight by Peter Watts, pretty mindblowing story about what life, what is conscience, what is real and what not. Still halfway

Look at USA and weapons: totally normalized 🙁

45% of the candidates are Italians:

If anyone had doubts about the incredibly bad state of Italian job market and salaries

i use it quite a lot. very useful also in-line translation: you select some text and the context menu offers translation directly without opening the full app.

It’s those behind the fedilab app -> https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/115572783993063223

Oh, on. The setting thing was what I understood from the discussion in the link, but I didn’t go very deep

Ok, clear, thank you.

So this has been implemented as a Lemmy feature for more than one year, and it’s default behavioiur a setting for the particular community

Ok, this makes sense, and I had no idea it was like this

Mmh, that’s not an explanation: when I look at an hastag timeline in mastodon, I expect to see all the posts that federate with my server and contain the relevant hastag.

In this case I for sure see also posts that are federated, but, AFAIK, do not contain the hashtag. The only element is the name of the community

I cannot understand what bonfire is about: another microblogging software?

• URL radio and antennapod have android auto integration

• Firefox can be used for offline translations: just go to about:translations

  • now there is a separate app using the same engine that also has ocr “offline translator”, check it out

• handy news reader: you can set up filters for feeds. So if you are interested only to articles about a certain topics from a generalist website, you can use this feature

• image toolbox has a very handy OCR integration

• the best tetris version you can play on android: lemuroid emulator + apotris, an open source Tetris clone for GBA, maybe the best in existence

What? I’m reinstalling it right now!

If the same translation engine is used in multiple apps, then it would probably make sense to have it at system level like it happens for TTS engines. I wonder of this is possible, somehow

Of all the nations I didn’t expect Italy do do something, given the government parties statements on the flotilla.

As an Italian I won’t believe our ship will actually do something useful until I see it

The developer has a blog and this post describes how he implemented OCR and translated text overlay. It’s a fascinating and interesting read!

With lemmy account you can only join “groups”, so other Lemmy communities, or equivalent piefed or nodebb.

With a Mastodon account you can also join groups (Lemmy etc), but you can also follow single accounts from any mastodon, pixelfed, peertube etc instance.

Why then having a Lemmy account? The interface, how you see the posts, depends on the software. Lemmy is reddit-like, mastodon is twitter-like etc

If you want to upload your video to a peertube instance, then you need an account on that instance

Nevertheless, Dudley Curtis points out that “over the last decade or more, the number of deaths on the roads in the United States has risen, while in Europe it has fallen slowly, but it has still fallen”.

In the meantime in Europe we want to halve the road deaths by 2030 and have no deaths on roads by 2050, and we are already far from being on track to hit the target:

I understand why you write this, but collecting data is the first step when you want to change something.

Even if a femomenon sounds obvious, maybe it is not. Moreover the study analyses also why this happens, and it is pretty interesting.
