I'm not American. Neither are ~96% of the world population, so please don't extrapolate based on a flawed sample.
Had exactly the same thought. And it was so peaceful after blocking lemmygrad and .ml, I almost got used to it.
Think I need to block their instance as well.
That's their problem. Literally.
Also, what kind of people do you surround yourself with? I don't know a single person with the reading skills of a sixth grader.
Teams works well in browser. The standalone software is just garbage. Same as outlook by the way, ever since 365 it's completely useless.
That's still only 3 simultaneously if I saw that right. My old Lenovo laptop had 3 USB-A 2.0 ports, 2 x USB-A 3.0, RJ45 and HDMI. That was gold. Everything that comes now is a bloody chore.
It really is for me. Those things stick out way too far and might work alright in stationary mode, but while on the go they break easily (speaking from experience) and slip out all the time.
It really is a big deal for me, they stick out too far and are making the whole setup flimsy.
I agree with USB-C, but there are still a million USB-A devices I need to use, and I can't be bothered to buy adapters for all of them. And a USB hub is annoying.
Plus, having 1-2 USB-C ports only is never gonna be enough. If they are serious about it, why not have 5?
Most average users consider Microsoft a trusted source, that's the root cause of a whole lot of crap.
That's more than 3% of the user base. 0.5% is considered sufficient for statistical relevance.
The signup process for mastodon sucks massively. Unless you're nerdy enough to sort it out, you'll give up then and there. Bluesky is very straightforward, while offering customization to those looking for a non-mainstream experience.
Same for Lemmy tbh.
To put things into perspective for American readers, we would call your Republicans far right, and the Democrats center right.
The ones with EOL 2015, fair play. But May 2024 isn't all that long ago.
Edit: Looks like those were launched in early 2015. I guess requesting users to update devices after 8+ years might not be too far fetched.
Can highly recommend ASUS, most of their models can be flashed with custom firmware that is supported beyond EOL. And their EOL cycle is also pretty long.
That's why I pirate their shows. Most are still rather mediocre.
I mean, there are sellers on Taobao and such that sell imported versions from HK and Japan, but I doubt that's what the majority does. Most locals probably never get tempted to install some Western apps that won't work without a VPN anyway, and if they have the knowledge and skills to install and use one, they know what to look for.
In China you simply keep your birth name forever, and children always follow the paternal side. That's why having a male heir is important there, because a woman will only bear offspring for her spouse's family.
As to why the family bonds are so strong, it's part cultural (your elders are always right and must not be criticised, and you must take care of your blood above anything else), part societal - parents work too much (60-100h weekly), so children are generally raised by their grandparents, which strengthens the bond across generations. And because the pension system is totally insufficient, grandparents will at some point typically move in with their kids, so people are used to live in a multi generational household.
By the way, China is just one example, there are even Western countries where it's not possible to change the names, such as Luxembourg.
Reddit hat alle gelöschten Beiträge wiederhergestellt
Moin zusammen,
Als ich letztes Jahr reddit den Rücken zugekehrt hab, habe ich sämtliche Posts und Kommentare via shreddit überschrieben, und im Anschluss meinen Account "unwiederruflich" gelöscht.
Hin und wieder lande ich via google mal in diversen reddit-communities, gerade wenn es um Nischenthemen geht, wie jetzt als mich ein Kumpel nach meiner alten Espressomaschine gefragt hat und ich ihm einen Link zum Hersteller raussuchen wollte.
Bin dann also hier gelandet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/4trskb/best_budget_espresso_machines_im_hooked_on_flat/d5jp1rr/ - definitiv mein Kommentar, besitze ebendiese Maschine, jetzt seit exakt 10 Jahren (2 Jahre vor dem 8 Jahre alten Kommentar, Preis passt, etc.). Ich erinnere mich auch noch, ihn verfasst zu haben.
Hab dann noch in ein paar anderen communities nachgeschaut wo ich aktiv war, und auch da gab's einiges von mir, allerdings nicht so eindeutig nachvollziehbar.
Habt ihr ne Idee, was ich DSGVO/GDPR-mäßig tun könnte?
Men over 30, how is your week going?
Happy Monday!
How was your weekend? Any plans, milestones, major dread or whatever else you want to share coming up in the week ahead?
And how are you generally?
Men over 30, how is your week going?
Since it's been kind of weekly since 8+ weeks... Maybe start this thread again?
Not a moderator or anything (nor trying to be one), but I liked this community on reddit and would be sad to see it die.
Broker-Diversifikation?
Hallo zusammen,
Ich hab mein Depot bei FlatEx und bin damit an sich sehr zufrieden, aber jetzt stelle ich mir die Frage, ob sich dahingehend eine Diversifikation anbietet?
Bei der DKB als Hausbank hab ich ebenfalls ein Depot, aber da sind nur noch Karteileichen von vor 15 Jahren drin; irgendwelche endfälligen Zertifikate bis 203x, bei denen die Verkaufsspesen höher wären als jegliche Rendite.
Jetzt möchte ich gerne meine Anlagestrategie ein bisschen diversifizieren und zu dem ETF-Portfolio gerne kurzläufige Staatsanleihen kaufen. DACH mit kleiner Rendite, max 1 Jahr ab Kaufdatum, nix wildes.
Hintergrund ist, dass ich ggfs. in den nächsten 6-24 Monaten Geld brauche um ein Haus anzuzahlen; gleichzeitig aber das Volumen die Einlagensicherung übersteigt, sonst hätte ich es einfach auf's Tagesgeld gepackt oder Festgelder regelmäßig verlängert, das geht nun leider nicht.
Jetzt die eigenltiche Frage: Bei Flatex würde ich für diese Order knapp 4 Euro zahlen, bei der DKB 32,50 Euro. Sollte ich früher verfügen müssen und entsprechend nochmal verkaufen, ergo das doppelte (Endfälligkeit ist kostenlos).
Eigentlich ja ein no-brainer, 28,50/57 Euro zu sparen; aber bietet es sich eurer Meinung nach an, hier denoch das Ausfallrisiko auch über 2 Broker zu verteilen?
Danke im Voraus!

Windows 10 shows Linkedin Learning Ads on Login Screen
Hi all,
First off: Can't switch to Linux, Windows is a work requirement. Please spare me.
With that out of the way, here's my problem:
Since 2-3 days I've been seeing ads disguised as a minimized video player popup on my Windows 10 Login Screen !image.
Initially I thought I might have been watching something on youtube and forgot to close the tab and it autoplayed in the background until reaching this stuff by chance; but that turned out not to be the case (I'm also using Firefox exclusively, which I thought wouldn't integrate with Windows, but I wasn't 100% sure on that end).
I tried to research this a bit, but the only similar case I found was in an old reddit thread saying that some Windows update installed the LinkedIn App for them, which is not the case here.
Antivirus (Bit Defender) and Malwarebytes both give me a clean report.
So I did some more digging and right click that thing with my firewall set to deny all to figure out where this is taking me, and surprise...
There's a total of 100 connection attempts from Windows Search to around 10 different IP addresses, all of which belong to Microsoft.
I have not installed any updates in the last 14 days, no new software, and have not changed any system settings.
What did change is that I am currently not in China, where I normally live, but am on a business trip to Malaysia, where a bunch of services that are blocked in China might be accessible, and are now splicing in those (somewhat disguised) ads.
Does this happen to anyone else, and if so, do you have an idea how to get rid of it?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Welcome to join us over there!
Whatsapp web broken after 124.0.1 update?
Hi all,
Just updated FF to 124.0.1 and now the whatsapp web view is broken. The text input field is somewhere in the upper third of the screen and in the background, overlayed by text boxes so that I can't actually select it. It's automatically selected when switching from one chat to another so I can type there, but only blind in most cases since any comment boxes overlap it.
Tried restarting, clearing cookies, re-authenticating, disabling all plugins, nothing worked.
Does anyone experience something similar and/or know a workaround?
Thanks!
Edit: Fixed by logging out of whatsapp web, clearing cookies, restarting the browser, and then logging back in. Neither of the steps had worked on its own previously, but the combination did the trick.
Childfree Chatter
Hi all,
As our community is still small and not overly active, I thought instead of trying to have a weekly or monthly chatter thread up as a sticky, we could try a perpetual one and see what happens.
So anything you feel doesn't warrant a post of its own, just put it here.
Cheers and take care!
Current account recovery best practices?
Hi all,
Need to pick your brains for a bit regarding best practices for handling of account recovery issues while traveling.
Premise would be that my phone gets lost or stolen, and I may not have easy access to my laptop either, and being in a foreign country I couldn't easily get a copy of the original SIM to restore via OTP.
Consequently, I also don't really love the idea of using some password manager with a master password and no F2A.
Under those circumstances, what would you consider the best way forward to ensure accessibility without crippling myself in the process?
The only thing I can come up with is a random subdomain on one of my domains, with random username and random password, where I store an encrypted container containing txt-files. Maybe even further obscured with a random cypher (all numbers / letters shifted x positions to the right or something).
But there's gotta be other use-cases out there, so I was wondering what you are using?
Ideally something that doesn't involve another person.
Thanks!
Outlook filters for >x people in CC possible?
Hi all,
I've got a bit of a spam issue that isn't solved by either keyword or actual spam filter. The problem is that I'm in China and mass email marketing here is acceptable for some reason, so local spam filters don't catch the perps, and international ones are useless based on the language.
And since I'm in a customer/supplier facing role, quite a few genuine mails use the same keywords as the spammers, so that doesn't work to fix my problem.
However, the mails are usually sent to hundreds of people at once, all with their mail addresses in plain view in CC.
So I'd just like to set up a filter to send mails with >100 recipients or something like that straight to trash, but can't seem to find it in the outlook rule settings.
Does anyone know of a useful workaround?
Thanks!
Looks like Facebook is following youtube with anti-adblock measures.
I don't really use facebook anymore so couldn't care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.
