Tbh I like the convenience of not being physically attached to my phone when listening to music. That said, the removal of headphone jacks from phones is a disgrace.

Next time I talk to a girl at a party, I'm gonna ask to see her browser history "because it's a good test for red flags." Judging someone by what they watch or read is stupid. Judging someone by what YT thinks they would like to watch is even worse. I know this is completely besides the point, and it is just a meme, but judgy behavior like that irks me.

I think this is the nicest way to go about parking a vehicle like this. I might think it's a bigger vehicle than necessary, but this is not the person who should primarily receive hate for their choice of car.

It's a lot more interesting to have a goblin that somehow managed overcome its evil nature if basically all other goblins are genuinely crooked and evil, than if they're all "just another race" that's misunderstood. Yes, most villains should probably be more interesting and nuanced than just being evil due to their race, but evil races/monsters aren't a bad thing in a fantasy.

People have to be able to question the motive of content without being accused of "stirring the pot". Personally I really appreciated that the comment you replied to was posted, as it led you to reply to it, so that I could get more context and information.

Misleading title. Not incorrect, but it is based on what the source of income is, it is not about how rich you are relative to the rest of the population. The title makes it sound like if you make a certain amount of money, your tax rate is lowered. Alternatively, it sounds like the richest Dutch are evading 12% worth of taxes. But neither of these are true statements AFAIK, and either way they aren't made in the article, so the title is misleading.

Edit: Changed "the top 1%" to "the richest Dutch".

The second Win 10 stops receiving security updates, it's Linux for me.

I've seen their ads in Sweden before IIRC. They don't seem to be very common though. Why don't you like that they're advertising?

How is this a political meme?

Looking for a tailor who can repair textiles. I have had the loop which holds the belt on a pair of my jeans come loose due to the thread breaking, as well as one of the buttons on a bag of mine break. Is there anywhere in Taipei I could get these repaired? I guess it shouldn't be too difficult for someone who knows what they're doing to fix this, but I have no clue where to go for something like this and I can't fix it myself. Any info is appreciated! :)

It's definitely not worth it. Zuckerberg is the bigger fish here, at least within the social media domain. Meta's threads replacing Twitter would make them even more powerful than they already are. I don't like Elon, and it's crazy that he somehow managed to make Twitter even worse than it was, but we really don't need Meta to grow even larger.

I'm going on an exchange to Taiwan this fall, and am going to study at NTU. There are very affordable dorm rooms on campus, which I have applied to, but there is no guarantee of getting a room. Therefore I am looking into alternative solutions if necessary.

Ideally I'd like a solo studio apartment somewhere near NTU (or quickly accessible using public transit), but I am also willing to share an apartment. My budget is realistically maximum 25000 NTD/month, but I may be able to stretch it to 30000/month if necessary.

I am aware of the Facebook groups and have joined a large number of them. I will definitely keep an eye out there.

I tried going on 591.com.tw, but since I don't yet read or speak any Mandarin I wasn't able to figure it out.

Do the members of this community have any general advice about renting or living in Taipei, or specific tips for places to look? I'm interested in any and all information about this! :)

Has anyone heard any comments from them on this? Reconsidering my choice of instance unless they block threads.

[-] Logical@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Can you please give us a straight answer regarding blocking threads.net? If you don't intend to do so, there are those of us who want to know so that we can leave.
