The modern Turkish name İstanbul (pronounced [isˈtanbuɫ]) (Ottoman Turkish: استانبول) is attested (in a range of variants) since the 10th century, at first in Armenian and Arabic (without the initial İ-) and then in Ottoman sources. It probably comes from the Greek phrase “στὴν Πόλι” [stimˈboli], meaning “in the city”, reinterpreted as a single word; a similar case is Stimboli, Crete. It is thus based on the common Greek usage of referring to Constantinople simply as The City.

Is there a launcher for me?

I’ve tried a lot of the launchers I see talked about frequently- Nova, Niagra, Smart Launcher, Action Launcher, etc. but they all seem to not be worth the hassle of switching away from pixel launcher. Also none of them have the Google News feed that the pixel launcher has. I feel like I’m losing features when I switch....

merde ,

lawnchair because of its customizability. icons i want (or made) where i want them to be.

i disable all widgets and feeds anyway so the simpler it’s, the better it is for me. A launcher should become invisible. It should be forgotten behind muscle memory.

arcticons minimal icons also help.

they have 20 hour long nights in the winter. they probably need coffee to function

isn’t the title misleading?

tiktok isn’t banned in france. Paris is trying to reimpose itself on New Caledonia by all means. A correct title would be: Tiktok ban in New Caledonia makes VPN usage soar

it’s probably temporary. Either they go free and tiktok is back, or Paris regains control and tiktok is back 🤷

👉 The Daily: How Biden Adopted Trump’s Trade War With China

if you think joe is “genocide”, wait and see what will happen when donald goes back into the white house!

where were these protests when it was the U.$. itself that was doing the invading? They probably thought that there were no civilians hurt in Iraq?

“genocide joe” 🤦

merde ,

what’s happening in Palestine cannot be justified.

did you try installing with Aurora?

not a reply to “why” but a solution maybe

American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse?

Hi there, I’m a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I’m seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I’m Jewish and I’ve heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not...

about France, she may disagree with you : www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY4w3Ljn6ks

that’s the army, not the police.

yes, they became an awkward part of the daily life in cities since the bataclan attack. see Vigipirate. But they are not particularly guarding synagogues. You can see them in front of churches or in train stations or touristic and popular places too.

if you needed to add “leftist” to your name, i suppose you’re familiar with The Society of the Spectacle. They are not there to protect you, they’re there to make you feel protected (worse, to make you feel like you need constant protection!)

merde ,

it’s probably not as bad as you think.

Why the panic mode?

i can’t see anything disagreeable in that message but i’m sure some would be against that message too 🤷

search for a local mycological society or association?

“They had mushroom structures that don’t quite make sense,” says Trybuch. They were the mycological equivalent of a picture of a hot blonde with six fingers and too many teeth.

☞ EFF / Surveillance Self-Defense / Attending a Protest

merde , (edited )

let’s put aside everything @Aceticon wrote you; if the French state was trying to legalize exactly this, it must be possible: la validation pure et simple de l’activation à distance des fonctions de géolocalisation de téléphone et autres objets connectés (voiture, balises airtag, montre etc) qui repose exactement sur le même procédé technique que le dispositif censuré : la compromission d’un périphérique, en y accédant directement ou par l’intermédiaire d’un logiciel espion pour en prendre le contrôle à distance.

wasn’t the scandal about the Pegasus spyware all about this imperceptibility?

merde ,

read, listen to people that were spied on using the pegasus software. Easy to find

i don’t know if you’ve met any real activists, militants in your life but they’re rarely geeks. And checking the battery of their phone or reading about battery life isn’t one of their priorities

merde , (edited )

you can always modify your tattoos, you can’t modify your face once it’s identified. I saw a man literally draw a face on his face before attending a protest. He looked ridiculous but perfectly “defaced”.

I’ve also read about some blackBlocs getting identified, where i live, through their shoes. Police photographed people before and after the movement and their shoes are used as identifying information.

There is always the oldBloc who put their faces and names behind their words and proudly struggle through unions.

it’s already may 1st here. They will be out in about 10 hours. May the force be with them.

Android app dependency? (slrpnk.net)

I have found the translation from camera source feature useful in Google Translate and I use it from time to time. Last night was one such occasion, yet when I attempted to enable camera mode, I received the message shown in the screenshot, “Please install the latest Google app in order to use camera translation”.

Tesla’s closest Chinese rival, Li Auto, slashes prices as EV discount war spreads to premium market (www.scmp.com)

Li Auto, Tesla’s nearest rival in mainland China, reduced the price of all its vehicles by up to 5.7 per cent, just a day after the US carmaker offered discounts to local customers amid an escalating discount war....

merde ,

wasn’t BYD, and not Li, the closest rival?

merde ,

the word ‘rival’ doesn’t necessarily mean that Tesla is ahead.

but i’m not an expert on this subject either. I’ve heard/read/watched about BYD, i have yet to see one while I see Teslas everyday. I know that globally BYD is selling more, but in Europe it’s still Tesla that sells more.

I would never buy a Tesla and i think the world would be a better place tomorrow, if elonMusk drops dead right now.

my favorite car is this thing :)

How long before I can fuck it?

now that Wiktionary has the definition of hot carl, urban dictionary is redundant 🙈

why would you doubt that?

were you pissing on the same spot everyday repetitively without anyone complaining?

excuse my curiosity, i don’t use facebook. What makes facebook a helpful messenger for a deaf user?

no, thank you?

i remember the fall of Berlin wall, i was very young but i do remember. I remember the end of that either/or era

i remember internet going global and accessible. I remember the early internet that was about information wanting to be shared. Not the internet of globalSupermarket + gov.net + selfie

i remember discovering new and exciting sounds that weren’t possible before sampler/sequencers

i remember scandals that actually ended political careers. I remember people disagreeing because their ideas of a better world was different and not because they hated people who think differently

it wasn’t “still bad then”, there was a sense of things getting “better”. Can we say the same thing today? Who thinks the world will be a better place in 5 years or 10?

merde , (edited )

i wouldn’t consider the kiwi a shitty knife. It’s a cheap knife, yes, dulls quickly, yes, but it’s a perfect slicer.

We have knives that cost 10 or 15 kiwis, with good steels and impeccable handles, i still reach out to kiwi for quick preparations

merde ,

depends on the city

depends on the person who says “good morning” and how they say it

merde ,

do you also need haptic feedback with light switches at home? How do you know if they work or not?

merde ,

thanks for the help :)

it was to say that tactile buttons in cars don’t need haptic feedback either
