What is something lemmy can improve upon?
  • Thanks for your reply! I looked into it and #3976 seems to be pretty much that because the "import" part of it was shot down.

    I could create an issue for specifically gdpr style exports tho.

  • What is something lemmy can improve upon?
  • There NEEDS to be an account migration option, with not only settings but also my saved posts and comments, own posts and comments etc. If not possible, at least allow an export in the style of a gddpr dump from the likes of facebook etc. to allow import at a later time when implemented.

    My instance is shutting down at the end of the month (~500 users) and there is no good way to export my data. I would not be surprised if some of the 500 get frustrated and stop with lemmy.

  • PDF editor on Linux?
  • I am going to hop on this post to ask, if anyone has used a linux tablet for school? I am studying and have some regular classes like Math where I want to use a tablrt instead of paper. Some classmates have iPads and while there is some great software available, I would prefer something FOSS. Pine64 have tablets. Did anybode use them for thungs like pdf markups and math equation drawing? As it is my education and I havent been able to find an equivelantly good software I almost want to cave and by a shitpad so I can stop breaking my back with huge books for wich epubs are available.

  • The White House wants to 'cryptographically verify' videos of Joe Biden so viewers don't mistake them for AI deepfakes
  • Should probably start out with the colour mixing one. That was very helpfull for me to figure out public key cryptography. The difficulty comes in when they feel like you are treating them like toddlers so they start behaving more like toddlers. (Which they are 99% if the time)

  • 'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology
  • As someone who has shoped in the us but lives in europe, that only applies to the us. Self checkout is objectively bad in the us. Here, it is actually pretty good. The only anti theft mechanism is a random check wich happens like once a year to me, no weighing bs. Especially, if you use the option to scan while shopping with your phone or scanner device. Then you just pay in the app and leave, no hastle at the cash register.

  • US Securities Act of 1933, [US] Person living in [CH]
  • I don't know if this is the case in all countries or just some. If I were you (and if its legal) I would stick with your american bank accounts and just move some money to a new one in the countrey of residence. That way, you can accept paychecks and pay bills in that country, but you only have to create one account. Even that is a pain because you have to sign 10 different forms authorising the us gov. to do this and that with your bank accounts.

    US Securities Act of 1933, [US] Person living in [CH]

    I just came here to say fuck the US Securities Act of 1933. I am sure it must have some very important reason for existing, but at the moment it is preventing me from doing anything reasonable with my money.

    In all seriousness, though, does any US Person who has lived abroad somewhat long term have any experience doing money business in the country of residence?

    Specifically, I am trying to put some money (15K) aside for further education in about 7–10 years, and I am looking for an option to at least keep inflation at bay. Every option I look at from a Swiss bank has a clause in the fine print, blaming the US Securities Act of 1933 for not allowing any US Persons to even look at or distribute the document. Archive.org

    Is my only option to invest in American banks? I just worry that it will complicate Taxes to a painful degree. I would appreciate any hints in the right direction

    Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of?
  • After buying chocolate spread in italy on vacation I will never buy nutella again. Right now I rotate between the italian coop store brand dark chocolate and pan di stele because I can't find my favourite gianduja in stores anymore :( i think they went out of business during covid.

  • Google develops selfie scanning software ahead of porn crackdown
  • The technology is seen as an alternative to entering a credit card or uploading an ID because it does not involve handing over sensitive data.

    Yeah sure unless you consider the depiction your face to be sensitive data, which I do.

  • What are your"too lazy to cook" recipe ?
    1. Cook some pasta. Doesn't matter what kind.
    2. Add cream, if no cream is available add milk and condense longer.
    3. Add powdered soup base
    4. Enjoy salty, carbs goodness. (Doesn't taste as good if eaten often) If I am felling healthy i'll also eat a raw fruit or vegetable while the pasta is cooking.
  • Name That Song @lemmy.wtf johnyrocket @feddit.ch
    Possibly 90s song, it goes: "oh, my, god"

    This song is stuck in my head, it goes "oh, my, god", each word sang slowly with pauses in between by a deep-ish male voice. The tune and rythm are funky. It could be 90's, but also up to 2015. I am not sure of the age though.

    Edit: Found it: Low Rider by War. Explanation in comments.
