They were still planning to build a new nickel-manganese-cobalt battery plant? That sounds like the project was in planning hell for 20 years...

Even LFP seems questionable if they aim for cheaper batteries, with sodium-ion batteries likely dominating that field by the time the factory will be completed.

Probably some hack to make it look to the OS like it is charging the battery.

But yeah, why all the silicone? 😱

The sideload APK think might have been speculation, or do you have a video with a Valve employee saying so? It could certainly work with Waydroid and some tinkering, but probably not for Android VR games that AFAIK depend on some proprietary Meta stuff most of the time.

Kinda missed opportunity to call it the companion cube 😅

But I am sure there will be a custom skin for it that will make it look like one.

Works here 🤷

It looks fine as in the default Piefed theme, yes. But they used to have a very nice custom theme.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Their theme broke with the update?

It is actually a feature as far as bureocracy and diplomacy is concerned. If a language is the non-native language for more or less everyone, no country has an advantage in negotiations due to rethorical skills and so on.

And besides, the only other real options would be French or German, and really no one wants that.

Currently in university or so, and there is a large countryside vs. city gap.

In my experience there has been a relatively recent massive improvement in English skills by the younger generation. Anyone 35+ is still very much behind though. As an elder Millenial myself, it actually caught me on a wrong foot carreerwise as being able to speak English well is no longer considered to be a selection criteria for many jobs, because so many can do it and it is assume a given.

I am sceptical of this... most likely the definition is slightly different between the countries and that causes most of the difference. Like for example one country might count car accidents that happen during working hours into it, while another one might not consider that a workplace accident.

I kinda wish they would make this more of an official Droidian flavor (again) 😑

Yeah, everytime this topic comes up I ask if they personally had such an experience or have personally witnessed one, and it is always only some 3rd person story from social media or so. Truely terrifying how people can be manipulated like that.

 

And this is true for Europe in general.
