Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.

I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

Hello, I need food: What the media isn’t telling you about Greece. (medium.com)

From the Aegean islands to the Evros border to the streets of Greek cities, throughout the fires and the floods, both new arrivals and people who have been in the country for years, are struggling to find enough to eat and drink, are being unlawfully detained and are worried about the health of themselves and their families.

Genshin Impact is good, and Honkai Star Rail, is sadly empty of things to go even though I like the gameplay better. There are some really good Chinese games out there, but they’re mostly on mobile and PC because the Chinese government wouldn’t allow consoles for so long, so gaming in China developed in a way that’s incompatible with how a lot of western gamers play.

Also, I’m never gonna forgive China for how dirty they did Red Candle Game’s Devotion. Or GOG for backtracking on carrying it because CDP didn’t want to risk Cyberpunk not being sold in China, and giving a complete bs excuse for why.

They need to take these settlements out of the police budgets, or better yet, police pensions. I bet once their money is threatened, they’ll get themselves in line.

The footnotes link to the scientific papers being written about, so you can read them if you want more detailed information.

…You shouldn’t have to read the details to get detailed information. Ok. 😐

The article explains what most folks would be interested in, and links to the papers for folks who want more info and specific details.

The information is there. But I think you were just looking for something to complain about.

No, just irritated with people who can’t be bothered to actually read.

Most folks had no idea about the Tulsa race massacre until the first episode of Watchmen on HBO, and there was a surge of people googling to see if it had actually happened after it aired. I even read an article about how some people in Tulsa didn’t even know about it until then.

Funny, y’all whining about seeing something you personally aren’t interested in is the most Reddit thing of all.

The employee complained to another supervisor that the incidents made her uncomfortable, but no further action was taken against the manager, the complaint said. One night during closing in August 2021, the manager allegedly reached out and pulled her hijab partially off her head.

That’s so infuriating - she reported the guy and nothing happened. Not until he tried to literally rip a piece of clothing off of her because he felt entitled to see her hair.

I imagine you'll still need to use iTunes to have any chance of doing something basic like copying files off or on to it.

And you’d be wrong, going by how it’s done on iPad. The Files app lets you copy files directly to USB, and the few times I’ve used Files on my phone, it seems identical. You can also copy files to iCloud or any other cloud service like Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox from Files, or use Airdrop.

I know it’s cool to hate on Apple, but at least be up to date about hating. You haven’t needed to use iTunes to move files in years.

Or maybe, juuuuuust maybe, I’m a completely different person (and the one who originally posted this article, of all ironies) who has been reading this entire exchange (see also: I’m the one who posted the article, so I get notifications of the comments) and think you are in the wrong.
