I don’t think that’s that strange.

I mean it’s fairly strange in that I’m not young and I’ve never met a person IRL who does that.

Not putting you down at all. You do you. I’m just pointing out that it is very unusual.

That’s really clear, thanks. I learned a lot, including learning that I should not try to pronounce Eichhörnchen. :)

I can pronounce it but I don’t think you have too much to worry about pal…I’ve come across that specific word about three times in my whole life.

So… eye-ch-churn-chen?

First bit like Ike (edit: or Reich)

Eye-ch-urn-ken?

Irish and we have that gutteral Ch sound in Irish so I feel like it’s a cheat code for us.

I think many, many native speakers would struggle with those too so if you’re at that level you’re doing really well. Congrats!

Native. I say suttle. It’s a dirty word from the spelling in fairness.

Roo-ter is usually British and former colonies. Row-ter is north America.

PEW PEW PEW!

Looks good and I love that it is offline without ads and trackers.

It’s something I would definitely consider installing for my mum with the caveat that I’d like to see the source published.

What an absolute load of nonsense. I have spent a decent amount of time in Qatar. I watched what were effectively slaves working away to build stadiums and hotels. It is a fair statement to point out the irony of a place with very strong censorship criticise censorship.

If the BBC lauded a foreign country for the equivalent of bloody Sunday I would point that out too so honestly just jog on.

Edit: just to reiterate, I agreed with the premise up front. It’s not a bad article. That doesn’t take away from a censorship heavy regime criticising censorship through their mouthpiece and I fully acknowledge that AJ is generally decent so no, it’s not racism.

Not at all. I agree with the premise as I said so there was no whataboutism in there. I merely pointed out that a news source from a nation that allows nothing even vaguely approaching what the UK has, to be ironic.

I agree with the premise, but it’s more than a bit of irony that this is coming from Al Jazeera.

Update:

how many black lines are on the aux you’re plugging in?

There were only 2. I unplugged the aux cable but left the USB to aux in and the mic is still tied to it unfortunately.

Thanks for your help. Looks like I’m a little goosed.

Nice one. This sounds like a good option. I’ll check in a bit.

Yeah the criminals will quickly find ways to avoid using services that scan client side is my main issue.

I’m technical enough that I can too if the time ever comes. I’m in the “nothing criminal to hide, but fuck you you’re not seeing my texts anyway” camp.

And who knows who will wield these tools at a later point

History is so, so full of examples of this being abused by what were originally well intentioned motives (Jews in The Netherlands rounded up because of census information etc.). I just do not trust any future government and neither should anyone else.

“We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone’s civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services.”

How in the name of fuck anyone thinks they can prevent encryption is beyond me. That ship sailed 30 years ago. People who want it will find a way.

If only they understood why they’re called hydrocarbons. Might explain all that water they leave behind in the air. Alas…

Lawnchair supports it.
