You’re presuming they they had documentation

The advantage with the Gripen is that the Americans can’t turn it off on a whim

I thought they already did this in Australia

I thought it was ‘careless people’ he was scared of

Maybe they unzipped the archive? /S

This sounds like a client problem. Modern Lemmy has community blocks as part of the insurance user profile. Have you tried web client or another app?

Sure, list five

Toilet can mean the whole room if separate (i.e. no shower or bath) or just the appliance, depending on context. Can use loo to mean what Americans would refer to as ‘bsthroom’/‘restroom’.

The core problem is that many movies have the audio mixed for a movie theatre with multiple separately controllable audio channels. You might see this marked as 5.1 ; DTS; etc. In a typical home environment, you only have stereo sound. This means that the multiple audio channels have to be mixed down to two unless there is a separate stereo audio mix channel provided - basically never except commentary tracks. The shitty way to do it is to just take the left and right front channels which are mainly meant for sound effects and not bother to mix in the center channel which covers the dialogue. It’s still hard even if you mix in some of the centre channel.

Short version: asshole movie makers mix only for movie theatres, not stereo.

Unless you have some actual data to back this up then, yes, this is personal bias. I’m my own case I have:

• A personal account with three calendars
• A shared Google account with two calendars
• Read only access on someone else’s account calendar

Don’t forget that there are any number of public calendars that you can share to your Google account, e.g. ‘public holidays’ or events groups

I feel this and some of the other comments in this thread are missing the point. It’s not about me and my followers. It’s about the news sources and topics that I search for or follow. They simply haven’t moved to Mastodon and where notable individuals that I follow have tried, it simply hasn’t worked out due to lack of interest. I’m not interested in the fediverse as a topic in itself, I’m interested in the topics and events I want to follow. Something happens and I can find and read and watch clips about it on Twitter. Not so Mastodon.

people I follow

I’ve been on Mastodon for over a year and the content simply isn’t there. Several of the people that I follow on Twitter have tried moving or duplicating to Mastodon. They’ve had a fraction of the visibility and engagement from commenters that they would get on Twitter. Invariably after a few months they have essentially given up on it as a primary medium. For me the discoverability is essentially non-existent, which I don’t think is helped by the idea of it being based around instance-local communities, which have no meaning when you’re looking at something like Twitter.

Not how it works- licensing will be through a third party agency

You should celebrate with some upside down cake

OP: I sympathise and I can empathise with your situation. My advice would be to stay away and to move on with your life.

The problem is that whenever you discuss this sort of situation in public or with people who haven’t been there themselves you always feel the burden of proof is on you to show how terrible the parent is- a burden that is never defined nor met. There’s always some new person to say “oh but she’s your mother” which is frankly irrelevant- if your ex became your stalker for example, nobody would say equivalent things. It doesn’t matter that you’re the one standing there and not the parent, people want to put them on the pedestal, not you

IMO you should:

• Accept and make peace that you explained yourself at the time on more than one occasion
• Accept and make peace that parent won’t change- the site you’ve linked explained how narcissists can’t ‘hear’ you
• Accept and make peace that you can’t continue to or return to dealing with them.
• Realise that you won’t be able to discuss with or get validation from most people, even those supposedly close to you
• Realise that this guilt/conflict is simply more narcissistic control/manipulation

In my own case things that contributed towards finalising my position were:

• Becoming a parent myself, so less time for other people’s rubbish and more awareness of ‘how should a parent deal with…’
• That in the final few years we were corresponding mainly by email and so there was a written record to reflect on that clearly demonstrated a repetitive pattern

Good luck

Are you able to provide an example as to how greater complexity makes it easier

Edit: Thanks for the explanations. I get that multiple languages use gendered nouns to mean something that is clearly not ‘gender’ in the biological sense but key to understanding context. Seems strange as an English speaker where noun gender is vestigial if it even exists at all and even then it doesn’t matter if someone gets it wrong
