Yep. Spanish has a number of Arabic loan words, given Spain was conquered by the moors for a bit.

LOL.

Person tries to make small talk

zymagoras777: OMG. I'm totally offended. What an attention whore!!1

OK, dude. You know you can just ignore the post, right? Just move along.

Maybe something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articles_of_Confederation previously in the US?

the Congress observed them as it conducted business during the American Revolution (defense), directing the Revolutionary War effort, conducting diplomacy with foreign states (foreign relations), addressing territorial issues (cross-jurisdiction crime)

So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much.

OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn't music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren't music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they'll more or less like. That's actually kinda huge.

A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I'm on Navidrome now, but I'm definitely listening to way less music now—access isn't an issue—I just haven't had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.

a place where nationwide laws are defaults, but smaller hierarchies can pass laws to supercede the higher defaults?

Hm... that kinda doesn't seem too useful, no? What would even be the point of the higher government if you can just completely ignore them locally?

I’ve tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist’s. They’re extremely difficult to put in properly

There's definitely a right and wrong way to put these in. I used to just stuff them in my ear because I didn't think I needed instructions on how to use them. But, I recently learned I was doing it wrong. After watching this video, putting them on was way easier AND they also blocked out way more noise.

But, yeah, they do get dirty after a few uses. Although, they're way cheaper than Loop... soo... idk.

LOL! YES! I remember hearing, "Maybe that's what he said, but that's not what he meant."

Again. From the beginning.

 

The full quote in dirty imperial units:

How was this translated to metric?

 

How often does Organic Maps pull map updates from OpenStreetMap? Can I manually trigger the update or do I have to wait? Does the update happen automatically or do I have to delete the current map data I have and then redownload it?

 

I've been messing around with Magic Earth and Organic Maps recently.

I immediately noticed that when I type a home address in Magic Earth, the app can take me to the exact house on the block.

However, when I type the same home address in Organic Maps, the app can only take me to the street where the house is. It can find the exact house.

Why is this the case? I thought both Magic Earth and Organic Maps used the same map data behind the scenes...

 
 

I have pretty simple, straightforward finances. I don't need any pro features.

Does anyone have any shoutouts for their preferred tax preparation software?

 
 
 

We are going to go out on a limb here and say that if people are regularly finding techniques to disable AI summaries in Google searches, perhaps that means they do not want them in the first place?

 

Is the DM button called "Privately mention"? Or is that something else?

 

Currently, my email is hosted at Migadu. The email hosting is fine. However, they don't seem to offer strong *DAV support. They don't really advertise it and the little documentation they have says "we offer basic calendar support. Please be aware this is a beta feature and some functionalities are missing".

Is there such a thing as a DAV provider, like email provider, but only for WebDAV, CardDAV, and CalDAV?

Or is the answer just to self host Radicale or sabre?

It seems like if I want better DAV support, I'd have to switch email providers... which is kinda annoying.

I still keep my contacts and calendars on Google because it seems the most stable. I don't care about having the maximum possible privacy, I just care about not losing the data.

Someone told me about etesync, but I didn't like it because it's not DAV and you have to use their client apps.

I'm really surprised that most companies have standardized on DAV for contacts and calendars. That seems great because (theoretically) I can use any client.
