What does this locking do? Where I live every online vendor offers to pay by installments which addresses the issue that people could not afford the upfront price, why do the phones have to be locked in the US?

Thank you, that was a really good explanation!

And then you also have different meanings depending on pronunciation, here some examples:

• umfahren: to drive around something or to run over something

• Montage: the act of assembling or the plural of Monday

• übersetzen: to ferry across a river or to translate into another language

• umschreiben: to rewrite or to paraphrase

• durchschauen: to look through something or to understand

• unterstellen: to place something underneath or to imply or accuse someone of something

• unterhalten: to hold something underneath or to support or to converse with someone or to entertain

• wiederholen: to fetch something back or to repeat something

As a native German speaker, I really dislike the formality levels and hope someday everyone uses the informal level. In a big company it’s really annoying to start with the formal level and then awkwardly switching to informal level when contacting someone for the first time.

Yeah, BG4 is dead on arrival for me, but on the other hand I am glad Larian continues to exist and does not have to bow to some corporate entity. Instead of BG4, I am looking forward to their next project then. And even if they would do BG4, it’s hard to top BG3, so I can understand moving on to a new project without fan expectations other than the high regard for Larian.

I use Mull for Android and find it a bit more performant than vanilla Firefox.

Sorry, I didn’t make that clear, I meant in Germany, as the commenter talked about the German translation of turkey.

I am not an expert either, but maybe by something like this? Maybe we see two images of the same galaxy but nothing obstructing our view to explain the gravitational lensing, so maybe it’s topological defects?

So what is the actual transistor size then? And why use an SI unit then anyway? Why not use femto-bananas then when it does not reflect the real size?

I don’t follow American politics very closely, who is this RFK guy and between Biden and Trump, how bad is he?

I have no opinion on this, but maybe it just takes more time. I don’t hear anyone calling Chinas capital ‘Peking’ anymore, only Bejing, but that didn’t happen instantly either.

He said that it’s creepy but convenient, digital privacy and laziness don’t go hand in hand generally. Every week I read about another alternative for Google Photos, so the solution is not far away (three posts down I found this for example). To each their own I guess, but with such simple solutions I can’t justify using Google’s spyware.

For now you can use RedReader to circumvent their app.

I would say because it does not use it’s medium very well. It’s more like a playable movie, while videogames can be so much more than that.

It’s different for everyone, but for me it was just doom scrolling and not so much engaging with specific communites, so actually there really wasn’t a need to replace anything. I just don’t do it anymore and have more time for my hobbies now.

I am currently deciding wether to use librewolf or floorp, do you by chance have an opinion on that?

The politics part is a bit too deep for me as a non-UK resident, but thanks for the elaboration in your first paragraph, that sounds plausible.

All studies in the linked Wikipedia article (under the topic “Studies”) show that the answer is more often yes than no.

Isn’t there already the term AGI for that?

Not OP, but I copy my reply from the last time someone asked an opinion on kagi:

I use it, but to be honest I did not do a comprehensive comparison. I like it mostly for the fine grained website control. For work and some personal stuff I often look for code and can push websites like GitHub to appear more often. Or I can block Pinterest in my search results. I tried to do this in SearXNG, but this was too much of a hassle so in a way I pay kagi for convenience. I recently got a new job and will evaluate in the coming months if it is still worth the money, but right now I am satisfied. Nobody else I know would pay for a search engine, so I can understand the stance, but I am really fed up with all the advertising and enshitification so I thought why not give it a try. And yes, because it was recommended here.
