Did she decide to switch name because he gave her a stupid one?

pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.worksto Android@lemdro.id•Report: Samsung may release a rollable smartphone with a 12.4-inch display in 2025English2·11 months agoI’d be hyped anyway. Not because I want to buy one now, but because it’s possible (and I might buy one in like a decade when they’re affordable)
Rollable phones are such insanely sci-fi-y things
The reason is that there’s not an infinite amount of ressources. Integrating them properly works well as long as there are enough ressources, but when too many come in a too short timeframe it sadly does not work for all of them (also makes it much harder for them to get proficient at German since they can live in their own bubble and just talk in their native language).
(And we have many ressources, but we (Austria) took the most immigrants per capita of all central European countries, even significantly more than Germany which is known for having taken so many. We really are trying.)
pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why limit immigration?343·1 year agoThere only are so many resources for them. Here in many European countries the main issue (I think) is that with the current numbers we fail to teach them all our language (it’s simply not possible without having more language teachers available, and apart from needing those teachers that also needs more money). Without knowing the language their professional development is massively hindered, causing many to remain lower class, and causing disproportionately high crime rates among certain groups.
This leads to further problems: In the big cities there already are schools where people who speak the local language are a minority (for example in a primary school near me they have two classes for each grade (1-4) for children who can’t speak German yet and one class for all grades together for German speaking children).
So guess what people do: They go to a district with less immigrants, while the districts with many immigrants keep getting more immigrants (since cost of living is low there and as pointed out earlier many struggle to leave lower class). We’re re-creating segregation. This makes it even harder for those people to leave lower class, since they have no networking opportunities but only know others from lower class instead.
Even the left wing parties are now saying that we have to reduce immigration and instead integrate immigrants better.
pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.worksto Just Post@lemmy.world•This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.3·1 year agoIt also depends on native language. In German ground floor is “Erdgeschoß” (earth floor more or less), first floor / American second floor is “1. Obergeschoß” (~first upper floor).
(can also be “1. Stock” (~first floor), very common especially in spoken language since it’s shorter, but it also wouldnt make sense if the “1. Obergeschoß” was the “2. Stock” so obviously “1. Obergeschoß” = “1. Stock”)
So for me the British system makes much more sense since it makes more sense in German and I grew up with German.

pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.worksto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Probably a stupid question, but what can I do to 'degoogle' a Google Pixel 8?1·1 year agoA local VPN defeats the purpose. A VPN server that gets lots of request from different devices is what you want because then noone can know who made which request, they only see it’s coming from the VPN server.

Yes, but Persen’s point still stands.
(And Pixels also have way less features here, the only advantage they give is access to GrapheneOS, great camera and AI photo editing)
