In a lot of cultures, a "fat" child is desirable, but actually unhealthy. A fat baby is simply healthy, regardless of the culture!

Outlaw tax credit to political parties. Outlaw hatespeech and enforce it. Outlaw media monopolies and promote healthy journalists that will challenge the ideas expressed on their station.

I mean, was this the situation before cars? I fail to imagine a person living miles from the next human being without a car.

Cars made rural communities dependant on them. It's not a fatality.

Maybe... don't take the risk? If you wanna know how allergic you are, there are tests for that.

Don't play with fire, friend. Fake crab isn't worth dying for.

"Time to chop off some Congolese hands for not meeting their rubber quota!" in c/historymemes@lemmy.world

I'm Belgian and I didn't know a whole lot of details about the "Free State" (because of course this was brushed over in school...)

I'm split between surprised and not surprised that the atrocities were made by companies when the administration said "oh yea, there's no law btw, knock yourselves out". A libertarian dream in the end.

Dang, in which country are you talking about Liège in elementary school?

Ha! in c/politicalmemes@lemmy.world

Totally agree. But I'm a bit pessimistic that modern fascism and extreme wealth concentration stops at one man. In my view, it's more of a systemic issue. If he dies, the system that put him in place still thrives.

I agree. "One of the most important day in modern history" though? That's a bit exceptionalistic IMO.

Now we have elastics and stretchy fabric. I guess it was more difficult to have a firm and comfortable hold with loose fabric.

Donald Trump inauguration: discussion thread (feddit.nl)
 

I thought there could be a sort of megathread about the inauguration of Trump. I'm watching the official livestream here:

Pas de condamnation de Le Pen pour torture ? (feddit.nl)

Salut tout le monde ! Avec la mort de Le Pen, beaucoup de gens reparlent de son usage de la torture en Algérie. Beaucoup d'encre a coulé sur les accusations à son encontre et ses actions en justice pour diffamation. Mais a-t-il été lui-même poursuivi ou inquiété à ce sujet ? N'était-ce pas des crimes de guerre ? Pourquoi n'a-t-il jamais été arrêté ?

Is Magic Earth spyware? (feddit.nl)
 

I have been looking for alternative to Google products, including Google Maps and Waze. The best I've found is Organic Maps and OsmAnd. But I'm missing two features: public transport routes and live trafic.

For the latter point, I have used Magic Earth which uses OSM. But the app itself is not FOSS.

Does anyone know what their business model is? They don't charge for the app or service and the privacy policy does not seem like they commercialize data... What is their deal as a company?

Website link to home screen independent from browser (feddit.nl)
 

Hi everyone. You can easily add a website shortcut to the home screen through a browser ("add to home screen"). However, if I change browser or if I need to clear the browser data, these links disappear. Maybe I'm using too unstable of a browser, but I'm tired of having to recreate my shortcuts.

Is there any way of adding a website shortcut to the home screen in a browser-agnostic way?

Alternative to Google's Enhanced Location? (feddit.nl)
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.nl/post/549047

Assisted GNSS is pretty handy. My phones gets my approximate location very fast. If I want to plan a route from where I am, I don't have to wait a couple minutes for the GNSS signal to be received (if I'm in a location where I can receive it).

But obviously, waiting a couple minutes before starting a journey is acceptable to avoid being tracked by Google, so I disabled the Enhanced Location mode on my Android phone.

Is there a private alternative for A-GNSS?
