  • What would you do with this power?

  • Does songs counts? Hallowen's "Future World" would be a very nice vacation

  • How many hours spent on video games is an addiction??

    Jump

  • Yeah, that is called withdrawal syndrome, when there are symptoms if the person stops using a substance. I think that's a problem caused by an addiction that interferes with a higher priority.

    By the way, this is no joke and can lead to death depending on the severity.

    For tobacco, I don't think withdrawal syndrome can kill, but it can last for 6 months according to a psychiatrist I know.

    And about the criteria for addiction, in my country it is:

    • manipulative behavior to keep doing it (it = using the substance or the activity)
    • repertory restrictions (avoid doing other activities that the person used to do)
    • harm in other aspects of life (like what we said before)
    • keep doing it, even with those damages

  • What websites do you find useful in everyday life?

    Jump

  • timeanddate.com to schedule meetings with people in different timezones, and plan a trip to watch eclipses

  • If you had to choose a new lingua franca, what language would you pick?

    Jump

  • I think it is easy, but I speak only european languages. Not sure if it is really easier or I just feel that is easy because I know the languages I do.

    I would love to say mandarin/chinese, but tonal languages scares me.

    I made a grammar rule set (not a complete conlang yet) where verbs don't need to be conjugated, and information about time is separated from the verb; A new lingua franca, IMHO, should not have verb conjugation.

  • This is a good rule of thumb for most addictions afaik.

  • They should, because Civ5 is way better xD

  • Most technologies continue to improve with innovation, like WiFi. What is a technology that was nearly perfect upon conception?

    Jump

  • Paper clips.

  • What do you think: should all government software be open source?

    Jump

  • Software funded by public resources should be a benefit available for the public. Is not only transparency and security, it should be owned by the people who paid for it.

  • Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27

    Jump

  • Even apps installed outside the Play Store will need to have a "verified developer", and this change will affect any devices that use Google Play Services, so it will be a problem even to old devices.

  • I'm not an US citizen, never been in the US. But as far as I know, your country never was a real nice place. Slaves, first nations, Mexico, Hawaii, Tuskegee (and Guatemala), Condor Operation, Camboja, Palestine... The list goes on, and on, and on...

    Of course I don't blame the everyday citizen, but your rulers are terrible for the rest of the world, since ever, and the people are blinded to it. And about democracy, the electoral college system is pretty much the opposite of democracy IMHO, and the most powerful force driving the country is not what people needs or want, is money (and capitalism).

    (Again, IMHO) The US image outside its borders is not "inspiring", it is terrifying.

  • Google loses $314 million lawsuit over data transfers when Android phones are idle

  • Does banking apps work on your cellphone?

  • Lemmy, do you condone violence?

    Jump

  • Violence is a tool, like fire. Be careful and thoughtful about when and how to use it, otherwise you can burn yourself and your city.

  • Why do Americans want to know the month first and the day second?

    Jump

  • That's the correct way.

  • Why do Americans want to know the month first and the day second?

  • Probably because in english it's the way they speak about dates (and the fact US kinda isolated themselves before WWII).

    They started to write dates as they speak dates.
