¿forks of email and calendar services?

good to see them back tbh, it’s nice to have lots of people around.

let’s f*cking gooooooo!!!

In case anyone is curious, here’s the steps missing to get an official release.

Estoy leyendo 3 libros. 2 de no ficción, y 1 de ficción.

• La Guerra no Tiene Rostro de Mujer, de Svetlana Aleksiévitch. Trata de historias de mujeres del ejercito rojo. Historias humanas, lidiando con lo feo de la guerra. No es un libro con cuentos de grandes batallas, ni triunfos militares. Bastante crudo. Además estoy leyendo una edición post-soviética que incluye partes censuradas, con comentarios de censores. Buen libro, aunque recién lo empiezo.

• Memorias y Reflexiones, de Georgiĭ Konstantinovich Zhukov. Este es más bien lo opuesto a lo anterior. Mariscal del ejercito rojo durante la segunda Guerra (Gran Guerra Patria, como le dicen en Rusia). Este es un libro de anécdotas, pero contiene grandes batallas y triunfos militares. Es bastante largo y pesado a veces.

• Matadero cinco, de Kurt Vonnegut. Este también recién lo empiezo. Todavía no tengo muchas impresiones de él, pero me dio un poco de gracia que también tenga partes en la segunda guerra (y un postguerra).

Yes, yes. Go strengthen that BRICS block pls.

Probably working with the country itself would count.

Indeed. This definitely deserves some attention and following to get archived in !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.

It was pretty successful while it lasted, it always had a sunset date :(

Personally I had some great and memorable experiences of collaboration in online multiplayer, and some forgettable experiences of just seeing the other players pass by and being meh about it like if they weren’t there.

I definitely do not think the online multiplayer is a factor on the game success, I don’t think it affected the game success at all. Just being a refreshing 2d Mario game, and the Mario Movie is enough.

I am not sure if the original quote of Shontaru Furukawa means online multiplayer or local multiplayer. The wording and context make me think of local multiplayer (“people can enjoy with family and friends during the year-end holiday season, when people get together”), but the half of the people playing multiplayer make me think of online multiplayer. The context of the interview (a Q&A by the end of fiscal year, for investors) make me think Furukawa is being vague on this on purpose.

Cash money says there’s already a native competitor just waiting to get that money

There isn’t and probably won’t be. At least not one with a library even half a size to that of spotify. People will probably flock to some competition like apple music or youtube music (neither of those services, as they are not very popular, seem to have said anything about this copyright law amendment). Also a senator already pointed out that if you have a valid argentinian credit card (there’s one very easy to get here), you can just register as an argentinian and pay less than a dollar instead of the seven dollars it costs here as a turnaround.

AGADU is the society of authors. Kind of an union (it’s not an union but sort of). It’s suppossed role is defending the rights of authors

You mean the WA-traffic made a significant difference?

No, I don’t mean that. Whatsapp traffic (files i don’t think is included in the deal) is treated by the companies independently of other data traffic. You may not have a data plan, but still get a “whatsapp free” thingy, you can text for free via whatsapp without using data plans.

Depends on the country, in mine data plans are not that expensive (add some asterisks to that). But they include those “whatsapp free” or some streaming service traffic with no cost to get the edge over other phone companies. All of them mostly have the whatsapp free thing.

I used to live in a different country and it did make a significant difference, as @desconectado@lemm.ee points out below.

Same here (South America). You can not use it yourself but it will mostly keep you out of the loop on everything. Most of the phone companies don’t charge you whatsapp message data just to make it more inescapable.

I use Arch (btw). It’s not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i’m just used to it by now.

(that’s my personal laptop, the computers in my offices are either Debian or Ubuntu)

Is Latin America not the western world?

We have too much melanin to join the club.

No country in Scandinavia uses the Euro, they’re all out of the Eurozone- unless you count Finland.

third world countries are keeping up. My ISP reserves the right to throttle my bandwidth once use a certain amount of data. I have to say I haven’t noticed it do it yet. Yet being the keyword here.

It’s this. You’re in your instance and you see things how your instance sets them up.
