PlexSheep@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What does 1000€ buy you in your favourite hobby?4·11 hours agoAll the Japanese language resources for a lifetime you need and then some more for lessons if you want.
- Wanikani and Bunpro might be about 300€ together for a lifetime.
- A few grammar books with extra exercises, like Genki, would be less than 200€ I think.
- Writing supplies, a computer, Internet access etc is assumed.
- 500€ Could likely get private tutoring for quite a few lessons I think. You may also want to look at courses by the nearby university or language school, or get additional support resources.
Japanese learning resources are really amazing nowadays. Tons of good free content too, like articles on grammar or YouTube Videos by people explaining stuff. If you cut Wanikani and Bunpro and go with Anki (FOSS) instead for SRS, you can go really cheap.
That is, the price you pay for learning the Japanese language is also that it takes a fuck ton of time to get anywhere. But then again, you understand Japanese after that, how cool is that??
PlexSheep@infosec.pubto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Berlin: proposal to remove 30 km/h zones because air quality improved, thanks to 30 km/h zonesEnglish1·12 hours agoTo explain it quickly: You know Heteronormativity, the fact that many people are hetero and assume others are too. This is a similar normativity. Many people (depends on where you live yadda yadda) always drive everywhere and never consider a world where cars are not their only/primary way to get around. They will fail to imagine cities where cars are not as important or common, because they associate transport=car. This is harmful, because cars are in fact very inefficient for most tasks and have pretty bad side effects such as taking tons of valuable space in a city or noise or pollution.
PlexSheep@infosec.pubto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Berlin: proposal to remove 30 km/h zones because air quality improved, thanks to 30 km/h zonesEnglish3·12 hours agoWas in Berlin last week and it was like an island of transit infrastructure in the sea of delayed S-Bahn and long/mid distance travel that is Germany. S-Bahn, Trams, Busses, U-Bahn, and it’s all frequent and not undersized!
PlexSheep@infosec.pubto Technology@lemmy.world•Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12English1·2 days agoWhat? No, the framework 12 is the thing the had before the 13 one. Nowadays, they call that model always 13 it seems. I think you’re confusing something, I’ve got mine since a few years now.
PlexSheep@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favorite games that you never see mentioned anywhere?2·2 days agoYou can’t even label these fuckers as “I lost the game because of that idiot”, because then you lose every time you see them
The “bug causes death” thing can be ticked for everything safety critical. Starts with the small electronics in an elevator.
Vroom vroom, meoooow meooooooow
PlexSheep@infosec.pubto World News@lemmy.world•Russia just accidentally admitted to its staggering troop losses in UkraineEnglish1·3 days agoLosing a generation in war that could have added much value to their economy can’t really be smart or worth it, can it?
PlexSheep@infosec.pubto Technology@lemmy.world•Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12English12·5 days agoGot a Framework 12 and have all sorts of tiny annoying but somewhat manageable problems with it.
It used to overheat and then throttle to 400 Mhz every few seconds on high load. Overheating meaning 100°C. After a long time being annoyed and thinking “did I do something wrong” I reached out to support, and eventually got a new motherboard. It’s better since then, but it still gets hot quickly. Also, if I just idle, like maybe a few Browser tabs and that’s it, it will get somewhat warm ~65°C and I just don’t get it.
For some reason, it sometimes does not find my hard drive on boot. Works the second or third attempt, and is no software problem.
The light detection thing has to be disabled in software to be able to use the brightness buttons.
At the start, my wifi sucked really bad, just on this device.
Having some more ports than just the audio jack and the extension cards would be neat too.
Also, it was really expensive.
So yeah, I sadly wouldn’t buy it again, I think. The concept is really neat, but I’ve had too many annoying little problems. I still do use it as my main computer, and it works reasonably well, is light and well transportable, works with my docking station easily, etc, but those issues are annoying.
Well, we do air conditioning more and more nowadays…
Why JK though? There are many financial options to at least get more returns than inflation, working for people without fuck you money too. It takes some financial education that we likely have to learn ourselves, but there are options. And it’s possible to reasonably lower risks and costs enough by selecting the right financial products.
Though obviously, if you just buy what the bank guy says, the bank will make the profits, not you.
It was bad enough. Schlimmer geht immer.
Also, comparing flights and trains doesn’t really work, I think. The getting into the plane time alone makes it too different.
PlexSheep@infosec.pubto Linux@programming.dev•Ubuntu Joins the Movement: X11 Officially Being Phased Out10·6 days agoX11 is the display server. Your desktop environment, like gnome, has a window manager managing your opened applications and tells the display server “please render this stuff on the actual screen”.
X11 is ancient and sucks, because for example, it can’t do fractional scaling well, which is important for screens that have a higher resolution, since everything appears tiny otherwise.
The display server also offers some functionalities that the desktop environment can make use of, like global hotkeys, or screen sharing.
I’m not an expert or anything, but I think it’s about right like this.
Yes, not just DB too, but the local transit agencies too. Its a wonder that it all works so well DESPITE decades of mismanagement and austerity.
How are the illegal border controls from outside into Germany on train currently? By car, they didn’t even look us in the eyes when we passed, a complete waste of time.
The Bundespolizei could do actual work instead of just sort of chilling on the borders and checking people that don’t look German enough (presumingly).
My total journey from Berlin home this week was about 50 minutes late, and the connection after the ICE was not pretty.

Trump dismisses that assessment3·6 days agoTronald would likely abuse the fuck Out of it to do more “emergency measures”. We’ve seen this in Germany in the 30s with the Ermächtigungsgesetz after the Reichstag burned.
Now explain what that means please
