smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Where to find german torrents?English2·8 months agoI recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were… seedy.
Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it’s worth it for German language audio IMO.
Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.
I have not had a failed download yet.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Linux@lemmy.ml•Distro suggestions for a dumb-dumb who only knows linux through meme osmosis11·9 months agoGenerally I agree with everyone else, Linux Mint is great.
However, if you really want to not worry at all, you could just buy a laptop from e.g. Tuxedo or System76. They come with Linux preinstalled (I think in the case of Tuxedo at least, you even have a choice of which Linux Distro?), and are guaranteed to have no hardware “difficulties” with Linux, i.e. even if you put another distro on it, you won’t encounter driver issues.
(Those have become very rare anyways, but do put a damper on the “Firsttime Linux Experience” if you do encounter them…)

No, you are willfully misunderstanding my point.
There are still places in the world where slavery is legal, for fuck’s sake. Do you really, truly think things like this could still be true in 2024 if money and what/who you can buy/hire were actually the solution?
Absolutely.
Throwing money at solving the surface layer issues / symptoms is moot, but yes, for every new layer of problem you uncover you can ask “so what are the causes for that” until you reach something that can be fixed wit money.
Og, and I do not believe that this has anything to do with world peace. The nations on earth without hunger problems aren’t peaceful utopias either, after all. But on the other hand, hunger does seem to cause a lot of instability…

We get birthdays off, not counting towards the 30 days paid holidays, which is completely separate from unlimited paid sick days. Oh, and also since last Wednesday, the entire company is on holidays, we’re back 2nd week of January. Doesn’t count towards the 30 days, of course 👍
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto News@lemmy.world•CEOs struggle to process their new reality after the public glee at Brian Thompson’s killing101·9 months agoYou can’t just throw money at the problem and expect it to just be solved. There are real underlying societal and infrastructure issues in a lot of impoverished countries that need to be solved in order for hunger to be solved. You could ship a billion tons of food to a single starving region and there would still be millions of starving people.
That’s a strawman. No-one said “they should just, like, buy enough food to feed the hungry”.
When people say it would cost x to solve world hunger, they are talking about those “underlying societal and infrastructure issues”.
So, yes. Everything can be solved with money. You can hire people to “fundamentally understand local political dynamics”, invest in research, pay to fund the programs that will enable impoverished regions to develop the means to build the infrastructure to feed themselves.
Additionally, simply handing out food would kill the domestic food industry (because who would buy food when billionaires are giving it away for free) and would make the country even more problematic.
Just because this is the idea you have in mind for how to solve hunger, and it is, as you rightly stated, a fucking stupid idea, doesn’t make it the only idea.
Dang that’s impressive
Or disappointing, Idk

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Linux Phones@lemmy.ml•What Apps Are Missing on Mobile Linux?2·9 months agoI am a bit confused, why do you think it’s a bad idea? My assumption, of course, what that “the app exists” == “the app works”. At least for me, xdrip is the only diabetes related app/tool I use at all. (It’s also not that I am unable to manage my diabetes WITHOUT xdrip, it’s just sooooo much more convenient than managing it through the sensor manufacturers’ apps.)
I guess it’s a matter of taste then. I really enjoy the vibrancy and fluidity of animation we get today. And I find them to be no less expressive.
