Paywall though
I am creatively bankrupt therefore I will revive an old game
I get the people here saying "just don't have any of them". Recently I decided to wipe my IG account's likes that I left on all posts. You know - so the algorithm knows less about me. Mind you, this was several thousand likes to remove.
There is no bulk unliking option, so I did this by hand. Select the same -teen photos, unlike, wait for the reload, repeat. The benefit is that you get a look atwhat you liked, since you're combing through it by hand.
What struck me is 99% of those posts were from people I haven't ever met. They were rando short creators. There is nothing "social" about this medium anymore. It's a media medium.
Jealous you got the metal one. I bought the earlier plastic version. They're supposedly making a Echo Nano version too
I'm not Hungarian but I was at Batthany ter from 6PM to 2AM and experiencing history by yourself is much different than seeing it on TV. There was a group of high schoolers in front of me who were hugging among eachother constantly once they knew Tisza won, broke my heart.
When I was coming back, on the shuttle bus to Warsaw Chopin a Hungarian woman was watching a recap of the election night smiling, and when a bird's eye video of the crowd appeared she was shaking her head in disbelief/pride. Yes, I was watching her phone from above - standing - while she was sitting, shut up
With those kind of rosy-eyed stories in Poland we say "and then the bus driver sat up and started clapping" and indeed I may be on an emotional high compared to people who just saw the facts on TV, though I don't even feel a fraction of some Hungarians may be feeling.
Also I couldn't join in on any of the chants but the simplest "-ria, -ria, Hungaria" lol
Same boat. Got a 1kg bag to motivate myself to eat the more and it's going rather slow. Love the nutrients in those but I wish they just tasted better.
I love it when OP adds their own clarification in the square brackets to de-clickbait a title
not available in Poland sigh
Where does it say that anyone is boycotting anything? Perhaps you're looking at for !boycottus@lemmy.ca ?
People are also growing cotton in Italy now, so maybe one day we could have cotton that's not only spun in Europe but also grown there. Still, lyocell and flax/hemp would probably be easier.

Otóż jak wiemy istnieje taki atak na nas jak duplikacja karty SIM. Wszystkie SMSy z kodami dwuskładnikowej autoryzacji zamiast dotrzeć do nas wpadną w ręce atakującego.
Świadomi tego zagrożenia możemy chcieć za wszelką cenę unikać korzystania z SMSów i przejść na 2FA we wszelkiego rodzaju aplikacjach.
Można tak zrobić też w Profilu Zaufanym. Każde logowanie będzie wymagało potwierdzenia w aplikacji mObywatel zamiast kodem SMS. Uff, nie przychodzą żadne SMSy i nikt mi już nic nie ukradnie.
Tylko co z tego XD skoro jeżeli przy próbie logowania na komputerze, po wyskoczeniu okienka "potwierdź logowanie w mobywatelu" jeżeli zaczeka się dwie minuty, to pojawia się takie okienko:
Wystarczy kliknąć "użyj kodu SMS" i kod weryfikacyjny poleci znowu na telefon, mimo że wybraliśmy 2FA w mObywatelu.
Ja rozumiem, że centralny ośrodek informatyki nie chce mieć miliarda zgłoszeń typu "panie zresetowali mi telefon w naprawie na gwarancji i teraz nie mam jak się zalogować i pitu wysłać", no ale czy tędy droga? Mój punkt weryfikacyjny Profilu Zaufanego nawet nie wiedział co zrobić kiedy przyszedłem z dokładnie takim problemem.
Btw to jest oficjalny "fix" od COI, bo pisałem do ich supportu i powyższy zrzut ekranu pochodzi bezpośrednio z odpowiedzi na moje zgłoszenie.
I'm like any other European raised on the Internet:
- my English accent is more American (guys is it hard to switch to a British one?)
- learned English from American cartoons, games and websites
- I know who the current and previous mayor of New York is for some reason
- I know the American flavor of the month "thing"
- Evening news from the national broadcaster regularly covers US news, or social media posts from prominent figures in the US (doesn't do this for any other country with such regularity)
- I know the Oscars are happening from media yet completely missed Cesars
People here focus on tech a lot but I think it can't be understated how much of a cultural grasp the US has on Europe. Being born into it already being in full swing I didn't really question it. This Wikipedia article states most of the top 50 movies are decidedly American.
I started watching more sports channels to escape the news about US. I yearn for the day where I realize I've been living under the proverbial rock and thanks to which I avoided learning about the latest US flavor of the week news. I also read European Corresponded (funded by EU) to get more out of sight news from member states, but US still spills through.
I started unsubscribing or blocking communities which have too much US news. Even those that paint it in a negative light. I just don't want it to be there.
I started using the "favorite channels" feature on my TV to narrow the channel list to a curated European or my country focused channels. Stuff like niche channels from the national broadcaster (documentaries, science, history, culture) that cover my country mostly. There's some private channels that broadcast old movies and music from my country in there too. France24, Deutsche Welle, BBC (they love to cover US...). Especially the niche state channels make you think - "damn, my own culture - it's kinda cool!". I also started watching arte.tv more, there's even an app for my old Samsung Tizen OS TV. It's so refreshing to learn something local.
You can see that my "journey" is kinda funny as I even tried to figure out clothes: https://szmer.info/post/11927959/13610982
I also read the first chapter of "Special Relations: The Americanization of Britain?" by Howard Malchow and it seems promising. It marks the start of the Americanization with the launch of the first satellite (AT&T) which made broadcasting American content easier. I also should read a book about the "change of guard" as the global superpower between the UK and the USA, as I don't really know the details of how that panned out.
I probably sound like a .ml user. Anyway, I don't know where I was going with this thread. Just dumped my thoughts. I guess it's ironic that I'm writing this as an European, an Indian could write something very similar. Guess it's just our turn to get culturally "colonized"
I guess these Wojaks represent my feelings best:
