It's a really bad platform in general and has a lot of censorship issues as well. Good for Chinese content though..

It's possible to sign up without a Chinese phone number and get a higher resolution but yes it kinda sucks. I only use it for Chinese content.

Tbh the only country I ever worry about will actively try to deport me for just trying to be a tourist, on some bogus charge after checking social media, would be the US. Can't ever think of any other country that would care or act with the same sense of superiority as the US.

US is also like the only country, as far as I know, in the world that presumes you want to immigrate there and you have to prove them otherwise to be let through

Very nice. I played it for a bit recently but I quit at the water temple, didn't intend to but it kinda made me. To no ones surprise I guess?

Is corporate always the only alternative? I've been working in the public and non-profit sector, even in IT, and it's always been much chiller than "corporate". Maybe small companies are better too. Though I'd like to avoid working at all if possible, which made my returns to the working force always a bit meh anyway.

I decided on Mailbox.org!

Interesting! Thanks for this

Regarding having your own custom domain for all emails. I have one with my name which I use for professional communication but I'd like the rest, like mails from Lemmy, to go to an address which can't be identified with me. Is it better trusting a domain name registrar and WHOIS to not give out info than e.g. Mailbox.org? Like yeah, sure, I could register another custom domain but this is what I'm worried about.

Yeah kinda just leaning towards them in the end now after much back and forth. I also get 6 months free.

I'd like to use a third-party client like Thunderbird to handle my e-mails, which rules out both Tuta and Proton (I know Proton has their bridge, but I don't want to rely on it). I'm willing to compromise on my e-mails not being encrypted, as long as the e-mail provider has a reputation of caring about the customer's privacy. If I truly want to encrypt a message, I'll encrypt it myself. I've been looking at Mailbox.org, and while I've been hearing good things, people have also been complaining about their lack of support, outdated interface as well as that they don't enforce DKIM/DMARC which enables spoofing.

I would like to be able to use my own custom domain, but also to use their own domain for my e-mail aliases. EU-based only.

Any thoughts?

I found https://lausancollective.com/ (HK-based) and https://chuangcn.org/ which both seem to be quite libertarian, writing from the perspective of the Sinosphere. I'm really interested in exploring more contemporary Chinese Anarchist circles though. Anyone that knows anything? I'm able to read in Chinese (or at least work myself through texts) so Chinese sources are also welcome. I just find it hard to find online sources for this, I guess it's all quite a bit underground still and not really organized to a large degree taking the the oppressive state of the mainland into account.

 

I've been maintaining my weight for a while now but lately it's been rising so I've adjusted calories accordingly, but I'm curious what you see as an acceptable "fluctuation" when you're maintaining?

 

Most people learn a new language in order to make headway in their career, be able to move abroad or just to speak with people of that country or consume their media. For people who learn for these reasons, will advances in AI and LLMs make learning a language more obsolete? Are there actually less people picking up a foreign language since LLMs opened to the public? What about the "human connection" which translators won't be able to replicate?

I guess we're still far off from real-time translation without delay in every kind of situation, especially since making sense of a sentence in many languages is very dependant on context or some word at the end of the sentence that changes the meaning of the first few words spoken.

I see learning a language as a way not only to communicate with different people, but to also learn a different way of seeing the world. That's also kind of why I'm against a global language replacing all others: in a language, the culture of the people speaking it is intrinsically linked. Wiping out a language means wiping out the culture. People don't think the same in English as they do in Mongolian. Even the concept of "time" can be different, depending on how it's expressed in another language. Translators at the moment aren't able to capture all these nuances and differences, even if they sometimes succeed.

 

Like, we live on so much space but require furniture to be able to use it. I started sitting on the floor for large parts of the day last year and it's been really nice. Also helps with general mobility!

 

I'd want to split them up so I can let the mails that go to @mailbox.org, be received by a different inbox than my custom domain email. Is this possible?

I'm currently paying for two different email providers, 1 for my custom domain and 1 for the rest (KolabNow). I'd like to reduce my costs and streamline this a bit. Didn't really know where to post though so I'm trying here.

 

Excluding Nyaa or private trackers, as many ongoing and more obscure titles aren't available to torrent. I've been using Comick and Weeb Central, but I don't really know how up to date they are on new scanlations as I think they're mostly aggregating from other sources?

 

I pay for 500 gb on Filen, €3.99 a month, which feels like a fair deal.
