I'm in no way an expert... But maybe it's a burgundy rubber tree (ficus elastica)?

I feel like 'chh' would only count when pronounced as part of one syllable/sound. Which in all your examples isn't the case. Of course, if someone is not at all familiar with the language they wouldn't be able to make that distinction. So the chart still wouldn't be helpful in that case.

Spotifyd is a Spotify daemon, not an user application. It makes perfect sense to run as a service. Though personally I would run it as a user service instead of a system service.

Fair enough, but if it was at work or something you can at least say, 'eh at least I still get paid' Here you have no recourse options.

edit: Having read the translation now. It seems the students do have a choice in which software suite they use. So I guess they did have a recourse. So in the end it was their own responsibility. I guess it was a good lesson then.

It sounds insane to me they would use a suite where they have no control over its state.. Can't they at least block the updates? Just imagine you're a student and your success depends on the incompetence of others

Jesus no! You don't deal with mental health patients this way! You should have started a dialogue and keep him occupied until he calms down and possibly comes out himself. And if he doesn't you break down the door, step back and reevaluate the situation. Not just barge in and shoot him.

[-] Decq@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Well maybe, but I still don't think you should assume of cops they react this way. They should have been trained in deescalation.. Not shoot at the first sign of a threat. Also I think you should turn the blame around. The cops knew what they were called in for, so should have entered with more care.

Who are you kidding? They would shoot the blind man because he would be approaching with a stick like weapon

[-] Decq@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Eh? Is it really just normal over there to assume the police is this incompetent and are basically just hitman on call? Because this is not at all what I would expect when I call the cops. Blaming the parents, that's just massive victim blaming...

It's in the image... % of citizens regularly facing package theft. Though that's still pretty vague. How regularly is regularly? Seems incredibly high still.

Ah yes, the Sony 'security'. Too bad then. I still remember the rootkits they installed with music cd's. I've yet to buy anything Sony since then.. Guess I'll continue doing that.

Thanks for the clarification.

Having free speech has nothing to do with having no consequences to what you say. Sure In some instances there might be overreaction and especially companies prefer to be on the safe side of social discourse. The issue there is not free speech but workers rights (in the US at least). But that does not limit your free speech, you're still free to say and publish it. But nobody is required to actually listen to it, or publish it for you. Just because we are free to say what we want, does not make all opinions equal in worth.
