Those peppers are stunning. What is she complaining about?

Even the rest of the stuff on the shelves looks beautiful. I’m legitimately confused

People tend to go where they have connections like friends or family members who are already there; or they are more familiar with the local language/customs. Basically, they believe that their integration into the system of their final destination will be smoother for some type is social reason.

The reality is that they likely didn’t enter Europe in France, and they never had the intention of stopping there.

This is obviously a very contentious issue, because, as you correctly point out, there is no objective reason to think a refugee would be safer in the UK than in France. So the anti immigration types will keep using this as their reasoning.

That sounds like a good thing.

I must admit that I can’t think of any examples of this ever being a problem though. It might also be because I’m just so used to crappy software breaking things that I’ve just come to accept it as normal

Given other comments in this thread and the reactions I’ve seen on mastodon, people are freaking out, but I just don’t understand why. Can someone more intelligent please take the time to ELI5?

Pretty sure they said something like that after the referendum, which is coming up to 10 years ago at this point

Not an endorsement, because I’ve never used it, but kagi is an alternative which I believe has it’s own index. It isn’t free though

There is also searxng which is more of a meta search that will post your query to a bunch of search engines at once

Not much of this makes sense. Maybe we don’t have an equal understanding of private. If thats the case, this discussion is going nowhere.

I will point out, though, that this is particularly nonsensical

Govts are only after Telegram because they can’t infiltrate the company, ask for data etc.

Telegram doesn’t use encryption. Everything is in clear text. Nobody needs a back door to get access. Not even governments. It’s all just out in the open

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. You start by agreeing that telegram is simply not private. Then you move on to implying that it must be, because the CEO got arrested?

How does that change the fact that it is, by your own assessment, not private?

To answer your question, the answer from my perspective is quite simple. Noncompliance. If telegram had complied to local laws, like the others have and continue to do, he would not have gotten in trouble.

I’m still confused about people who consider telegram a private chat.

It’s easy to verify for yourself that it isn’t, so how is this still going around?

My gf used that when she migrated from Spotify to tidal. Worked quite well for that, but I’m not sure how it can work for recommendations though

Sure!

I used the integration to fill in the gaps I have in my personal collection. With tidal, I could start playing my own music and plexamp would just drop in some new songs for me.

It would create some playlists based on what I listened to, which again helped to discover new music.

I could just start using tidal, but that means turning my back on my personal collection. Or I could give up tidal, but that means losing the recommendations.

I’m asking here for help with the latter

This looks like a decent option. Do you know if they have an api? I can’t find any info on the website

I already know what my friends listen to… Thats why I want computer recommendations!

Funkwhale would be good, but from my experience with it, it’s a bit dead

I’ve also had some decent luck when using a new/unfamiliar language by asking it to make the code I wrote more idiomatic.

It’s been a nice way to learn some tricks I probably wouldn’t have bothered with before

Is there a way to follow mastodon accounts through Lemmy?

Obama famously used twitter in his first election campaign to create effect. In the brief moment when I had an account, he was my only follower

Not to mention that classing it as an action movie is a stretch

I’m using .home and have not had any issues. Would you mind sharing what problems you’ve come across so I know what to expect?

I don’t think they remembered to calculate the price into Euros for the UK. It’s about £5 now for a pint. Ales are usually a bit cheaper, but lagers are getting quite pricey
