Too many cultures/languages in a large space, they should split into smaller countries, it’s like judging Europeans from knowing some Brits, but

– People with money are very arrogant, selfish and wasteful – Many clingy/creepy people that keep talking to you when no longer appropriate – Headbobbing – Mostly friendly, sometimes too polite – Workaholics – Always complaining about their parent’s high expectations – Lots of IT workers who know what they learned to do step by step but it’s like they don’t know why they do what they do – Pretty condescending to other Indians from other regions – The usual: good but spicey food, hot weather, corruption, expensive weddings, overcrowded but still mass producing babies

I didn’t downvote but probably people won’t sit through a long video when the points he’s making could be a short list. At least give a summary.

Yeah but you install that stuff on your work computer. If my job requires me to use an authenticator on a non-work phone, then at least let me use the one I’m already using.

200 MB of wasted personal disk space just so you can log in to a work account

More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.

So make things even harder to find? A classic menu bar is not clutter!

Apparently MS uses a “proprietary PhoneFactor 2FA solution” that Aegis doesn’t support.

In my company at least, Aegis works for the first few logins, but it will keep nagging you have to switch to Microsoft’s authenticator and you’re locked out after a while.

OS/2 Warp

Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.

If you’re thinking what I’m thinking, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with beer.

Reminds me of when I joined some classmates to the supermarket. We got kicked out while waiting in line because they didn’t want middleschoolers there because we’re all thieves anyways. So most of the group walked out without paying.

It was interesting how random people came to talk to you and were really trying to get to know you. I don’t think that would work in modern day internet.

I knew they were around because at times I randomly remembered my ICQ number and I tried logging in, but they won’t let you if you forgot your password.

Fleppensteijn , 1 month ago to asklemmy in My school and high school never had us read any non-fiction books (only fiction)? Do you agree this is a problem and if so why or why not?

I had to read 3 books to write a small report on it. It’s just to show comprehension skills, I guess. I don’t see an issue with that.

I’ve tried some instances and I don’t see a delay. My hosted version is a bit slower than public ones but that depends on your system, I guess.

Yes. That way you can create a blocklist, which is what makes it so good for me.
